What a laughing stock we have become. The original Burnley vs a chinese rip off of Burnley that falls apart after 2 weeks.

Drop the 5 at the back. Get Bogle on. Let's get some bodies in the midfield.

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Groundhog Day UTB

 

[SilkyBlade]

He’s got to be dropped sorry to say, he simply doesn’t do enough with the number of attacks that come through him. That peach from Egan he controlled well and only had to lay it be to Dids in aches of space but he checks back and loses it

Min 4 touches before willing to release ball....given the RHS is our only attacking outlet I agree need to give Bogle a go

 

[DroitwichBlade]

Had to turn this off, I can’t actually watch it....those commentators are actual dog crap.

I think it’s in Spanish on Hesgoal.com

 

[Sheffsteel]

We’re not looking bad except for conceding stupid goals and having very little cutting edge up front.
Burnley though...fook me what a grim team.
looks like another narrow tragic loss on the cards

Agree with that.

Don’t think we’ve been that bad.....in general play we’re better than them.
They’re a poor outfit....but do defend well and are dangerous at set pieces....that’s all they’ve got.

Another point is we really lack confidence up front.
Looks like it’s going to be another tight evenly contested game.....that we still lose.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

At this point stick Basham at 10. Him and Didsy are the only ones that know how to put that circle thingy in between that square looking whatsit.

 

[Swinton Blade]

Had to turn this off, I can’t actually watch it....those commentators are actual dog crap.

You do know of the mute button lol

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

In this game where baldock is getting chances to influence play but not delivering quality balls I’d like to see bogle

I said exactly that to my phone.

 

[blademark]

Started off as though they had already accepted we were going to lose, but gradually grew into the game, and slightly unlucky to be behind at the break.
Certainly not out of it but.....you know the rest.
We need a giant centre half really badly. Most goals against us are either over the top, or our defenders get out jumped at set pieces.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Losing a lot of battles in the middle of the park. Ampadu and Osborn slow the game down. Ramsdale has stopped this from being 3 nil.

 

[blade.i.am]

Great attempt at a jump by Ampadoo for their goal.

Ampadon’t?

 

[jono_t2000]

Positives...Moose won't be gassed out after half a game for once

 

[MobileBlade]

Burnley - have player on each post - no goal
Blades - don't - goal

We had someone on the front post. Like them. They don't have back post. Like us.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Baldock is not a wing back. Full back maybe, but the crossing and wasted possession from that side is appaling

 

[Mumbo]

Bash in midfield leaves a hole in the defence for Burnley to expose

All this sucking Burnley’s cock pre game!
I’ll tell you what... they’ve definitely learned how to shithouse all these years they’ve avoided relegation!
Hope we turn this around.
And... why didn’t we get the foul just outside the box on Brewster early doors?

Ref‘s got red roses on his pants

 

[JKBlade]

Can’t come out and say we lacked quality when he’s actually chosen Baldock over Bogle.

The guy couldn’t find a cross 1 in a 100. Prefers the easy option of a cruyff turn and go backwards every single time. Painful.

Wip it behind the defence and I’ll applaud every time no matter if we get on the end of it.

 

[SouthportBlade]

Fundamentally we have poor poor players. Not exclusively but based on today's offering

Robinsons only redeeming feature is he is left footed and not injured, blokes a league 1 hacker.

Ampadu offers very little defensively and nothing going forward, overrated because of a prior hair cut and one good game 2 years ago. I'd cut his loan short.

Osborn is a nothing player, sure he has an engine and can hassle players. Rarely actually makes a tackle and limited on the ball.

Stevens looks finished.

Baldocks a decent defender, but final ball ia always atrocious. Gets into great positions but has an uncanny ability to pick out the big fuck off centre half.

Mousset has ability, but is lazy, injured and offers so little when the ball isnt played perfectly to his feet.

McGoldrick only player who looks comfortable on the ball. The rest get out under the smallest amount of pressure and shit themselves, then hoof it oit of play.

 

[cmuk]

Love Diddsy but he's made several bad decisions with the ball outside the area. Moose looks better further back where he can get the ball and run forward with it, poor service to him so far. Brewster putting himself about about and looking good.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Great attempt at a jump by Ampadoo for their goal.

He nearly got off the floor with one of his feet

 

[SilkyBlade]

What a laughing stock we have become. The original Burnley vs a chinese rip off of Burnley that falls apart after 2 weeks.

Drop the 5 at the back. Get Bogle on. Let's get some bodies in the midfield.

Ampadu and Osborne truly awful...doesn’t matter who you play up front if you have that as a midfield. Feel for Bash as rest of team dreadful.

 

[BobblesBlade]

We are too slow going forward
We still keep passing it around and back to Ramadale for his big punt to nowhere.
We lack skill and creativity
We are going down
We are Sheff Utd

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Bogle Bogle Bogle Bogle

Take Brewster (The Boy) off and play Bogle not in his place but just change the shape a little to get him on in right side midfield Bege/Lundstram position.

Didzy and bash - the rest get rid

 

[FriethBlade]

Ramsdale has kept us in this game. Their strikers are physically too strong for our defence.

We need to move it forward more.quickly as every time we slow it down they get 9 men behind the ball. On the few occasions we have got in good positions the final bal isn't good enough...with the exception of Stevens ball which Moose should have done better with

 

[HeySethUTB]

We had someone on the front post. Like them. They don't have back post. Like us.

Its little tactical things like this that get picked up on when your team is doing poorly. West Brom goal and now tonight wouldn't have noticed that these were going on last season. It’s becoming increasingly worrying that a lot of what we do seems different to others and is a bit marginal.

 

[SUFCinks]

Another lack lustre half of guff

 

[A Storm of Blades]

We need to find something we haven’t found in 20 games this half.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Rapidly starting to despise everything about a side who to a man I loved 12 months ago.

this season is fucking horrific. Literally Nothing to cheer.


Let’s just mark this one as another fucking one nil defeat and go home at half time. Pride is on the line we couldn’t score if given a month.

Bogle Bogle Bogle Bogle

Think Brewster has done ok

 

[BlairBlade]

Lose to west brom but leeds beating them 4-0 already lol

What a first goal for Leeds!
