Lovely gesture from Bristol City by the way...

 

[BobblesBlade]

We will be relegated at this rate.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Trying to decide if the game or the commentary is worse !!

 

[AnstonBlade1]

We’ve got nothing to hurt teams with even a championship one, no pace no creativity none can take anyone on

 

[bakeblade]

I’m cautious that he’s very young and has potential, but I just don’t know what he does

I'm afraid he's just crap. Whoever scouted him needs sacking

 

[ancientblade]

still playing this stupid tippy tappy football no movement no pace nothing lundstram just slows game down and gives us nothing either and how lowe can be be in in front of osborn i dont know

 

[ucandomagic]

Brewster is 3rd in a recent line - Hogan and Robinson before him - they avoid physical contact at all costs. Off the ball they pretend to press, but always stop before they get close. On the ball they pull out if anything aggressive comes towards them. Powder puff players - they can look OK in games where they have time on the ball but not when there is any level of intensity.

 

[RecordBreakers]

How anybody is still watching that tripe is beyond me, I'm sick to death of watching the same boring slow sideways build up play its getting tedius now and to top it off the commentators

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Some very cocky forecasts being thrown around here, face egg on springs to mind.

What did I warn you

 

[bakeblade]

Brilliant half that...

Because I sat the kids down and made them watch it...

Now they're all fast asleep and I can put them in bed ☺

I'm surprised you're still awake

 

[Bobby b]

Boggles intelligent running and the positions he takes up is impressive, Brewster should be doing exactly that

 

[FriethBlade]

Again our lack of penetration and trickery means its sideways, sideways, backwards, sideways...repeat...hopeful ball in...cleared...and this is against championship players.

We have to sign someone who can beat a man and open the pitch up

 

[vas borbokis]

Why is Lowe playing in front of Kean Bryan? Bryan isn't a LCB but a LWB and is far better than Lowe. And clearly Rodwell has disappeared into 'What a waste of a wage land'.
As an aside, is any one else having problems with iplayer? Keeps stopping every 20 seconds. Typical BBC bollocks IT.

Same here!

 

[Arcott]

Turgid is the best I can describe that as

 

[Half Bond Jls]

If she calls Max Lowe, Ryan Law again im gunna put my fist through the screen.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Really want Brewster to do well, but currently I’m not sure what he does well other than hit a ball hard from distance. Just seems so out of sync with the rest of them. If this is what games in the championship are going to be like we need to figure out a way to have more attempts on goal.

TBF we have been solid but can’t help shitting myself Bristol will get lucky a nob ended goal and defend with us unable to create enough meaningful chances to reply.

 

[Champagneblade]

That first half smacked a little of turning up expecting the win.

Brewster pretty much expecting it on a plate with little to no work effort.

If we stayed up (I know!) this is the sort of performance you'd see Brewster loaned out to the Championship to get some more development.

Looking like he regrets leaving the comfortable confines of Mellwood or whatever that new training place is called. You get my gist!

Question now, do you keep him on to build his confidence in the hope he scores or take him off and increase your chances of winning the game?

Patience aside, that's a dreadful half from him.

 

[Kev Gee]

Too much tippy tappy stuff again.
We need someone who can take a shot on from around the D!
Come on Blades!
Liven up!!

 

[Drunk blade]

Brewster is robbing the club... Hes getting paid a fortune to put in performances like this every time its an absolute joke

 

[bonobo]

I really want Brewster to do well. But, he is just not in the game again and if he does eventually get in a goal scoring position, the evidence is it will be luck. I suspect it will be McBurnie, but I hope we see either Burke or Mousset soon. Even if we just sit him with bag chips on the D, I would still back Mousse, to at least get a shot on target. We have got to test the keeper.

 

[HeySethUTB]

We have just got away with that big time.

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

Saved by Nahki Wells' shit decision making there.

 

[Bladesman98]

Lucky that he’s a greedy bastard

 

[Iceybabey]

I'm surprised you're still awake

I would be if I wasn't also sat doing my Masters work on the laptop

 

[The Bear]

saw the Bournemouth highlights at half time. They look streets ahead of us at the moment.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Don't mind the game tonight, showing that we do have that bit of extra qualiteh than a decent championship side.

I do get annoyed about how many cheap, pointless fouls we commit. Sharp in particular.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Brewster asleep again. He’s a lazy sod who should be getting in amongst it but never does

 

[blades78]

That's cross from mcgoldrick is the perfect example of brewster's failings. Not switched on and waiting for the ball to come to him.

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Brewster needs hooking, not his night - he’s not doing himself any favours

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Who the fucks that on sideline shouting? Sounds like a Sean dyche hahaha

Agree completely. I hope there's some aggression in there, it's difficult to see how anyone can get to this level without it, but in doubtful. We need a Duncan Ferguson type of coach in to work with him 1:1.
