[BladesOnToast]

I can deffo see a double drop occurring.

Just what I was thinking. Dust down that box of party pills, Class A's are the only way to sit through the second half

 

[Stevo]

Abject, dismal, disgraceful half that

So we're improving then!!

 

[Bladedog]

Fresh faces desperately needed if only to give everyone a lift..this shit has become routine and no fucker under pressure for their shirt.

 

[RWE]

I've said this before, I got hammered for saying it but here goes and fook u if you think I'm wrong. BRING IN THE KIDS. Brunt, Jebbison etc. At least they'll give a shit. Now it's me being pissed off but come on.

Jebbison should at least be in the match day squad, Brunt is better than Norwood, RND is better than Robinson.

 

[FredZeppelin]

I'm genuinely surprised we've actually created a chance to score!
We are so bad that I wasn't expecting us to.
Fleck and Norwood are making the game look easy. They just do absolutely nothing!
utb

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Fuck me what need to spread that £28m around for an entire new first 11

 

[Gimli]

Didzy, Fleck, Norwood. Thanks for the memories...

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

De ja vu for 95% of the games last season. No midfield and pathetic attempt at any kind of "press"

Robinson has had the ball in a bit of space and cut back and passed to Egan 5 times. I've counted.

 

[robbiez666]

I'm sorry but for all the good he does we can't keep picking McGoldrick. He misses so many chances. Doesn't even get them on target.

As for the rest, meh. Verrips looks nowhere near these high balls (I would have thought the last two days training would just have been defending set-pieces. I suspect not). Berge shows a few sparks of life but meh.

Here's a thing though, I do not understand why we've got our slowest strikers on the pitch against the lumbering slowness of the WBA defence. Burke and Brewster would at least get round the back.

 

[petcharlie]

I don't know what you all want ? We have scored . ok it might be in the wrong net but surely it's a start. Seriously i have stopped listening ,can not stand it any longer. For f--k sake lets get rid of Berge .he's like a rabbit in the headlights ,he has no idea what;s going on. Plus another frigging sitter missed .

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Jebbison should at least be in the match day squad, Brunt is better than Norwood, RND is better than Robinson.

Tonight is literally made for Jebbison

Agree, at least they will bring some energy and won’t be scared to bring it forward

 

[Ukkonen]

We're locked in wilder-ball forever arent we?

No width, no confidence, nothing going into the strikers, backwards passing from last season, Robinson, no creativity, cant take corners, wont drop the same old faces.

I feel for the fans at the game tonight, good support from us but must be painful being there, it is watching at home.

I only hope we bring in quite a few more players before the end of the transfers window, i live in hope but think we'll be let down, if nothing happens I fear for us this season.

 

[Torrix1889]

Absolute dross....but we are marginally better than against Birmingham and Swansea....

 

[Frank the tank]

Didsys nesh challenge on the long throw gave them a goal and that was about as good as it got for him
Sad seeing him regress to this

 

[Kev Gee]

Some rockets up arses needed.
Bring on some subs at HT FFS!

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

It's an unbelievable finish from Robinson

 

[Iceybabey]

This team needs a lift. That will come by bringing new blood in and ousting the dead wood. Until that happens, we'll be served with this shite.

Our midfield is currently our biggest problem. Our defenders pass it to them and they give it straight back because they can't play on the half turn against a press. Sign some fuckers that can evade a man and run with the ball, breaking the lines ffs.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Well it can’t get any worse can it

 

[Hagansbootlaces]

We need something that literally unites the team, something has to happen tgat causes a few to lose their tempers, WBA full of players tgat look up for it, street wise, follow through etc you either fight fire with fire, or start being cute, and instead of Mcgoldrick sticking his finger in the guys face, stay down exaggerate the injury and get in the refs face telling him it was an elbow

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

2007-08 VIBES INTENSIFY

 

[originaltrueblade]

Didsy you just knew it

 

[A Storm of Blades]

He’s got this team badly, badly wrong which is a worry

 

[Big Hitter]

Mcgoldrick is shit, Verrips is getting more touches than all the forwards put together, we are playing all our football in the third of the pitch near our goal cos they are closing us down and we let them come to the halfway line before attempting a tackle. The ref is a clown. Their manager looks like the Incred, Hulk just before he turns green, I was exoecting him to turn just then.
This is bollocks we are looking down the barrel of a gun. If we are not careful we could get embarrased here.

 

[adamawdhali]

Wish we could take half the squad off at halftime. Get freeman on at cam and Brewster

 

[RWE]

Don’t think I can watch that McGoldrick miss again, fucking fuming how the fuck did he not hit the target from there. Unreal.

 

[Barnette]

Because Wilder ieft us with a pile of dung.

true

 

[Jonnysufc]

These are the most obnoxious “home” commentators I’ve ever heard.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

I don’t mind losing if players have given everything. Fleck, Norwood, Berge are coasting and couldn’t give a flying fuck. Berge is sulking cos the big boys aren’t coming in for him. Is it any wonder you lazy twat? Then we’ve got the two strikers who are about as quick as a sloth on Ketamine. The Board need to wise up and quick. This is a relegation team if ever I’ve seen one. I don’t blame Slav I blame that arsehole Wilder. I’ll get the ‘You can’t call Wilder an arsehole’, fuck that he is. A whining gutless arsehole who ran away when the going got tough, spending £100 million and then leaving us with the worst side since 1988. Fuck me it’s bad lately.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Like I said. Name a better two. Do you think any of the rubbish on the bench would even have got in that position? I don't.

Judging by the comments and likes you appear to be in a minority of one. Are you on drugs?
