The fuck was that?

 

[FriethBlade]

Was that Verrips in disguise

 

[loyalblade95]

Hope he gets that out of his system very quickly and gets back on with the game.

 

[BangorBlade]

Ffs, whats the shite was that everytime some scores it goes to crowd

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

Kenny was that you son?

 

[FriethBlade]

Didn't expect to say this but Norwood has been our best player so far

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Need to cut out the mistakes happens far too often. Olsen’s first games so give him benefit of the doubt, it’s a marathon not a sprint.

 

[Bartleby]

When you log into SkyGo the games are on the home page (or they will be tonight!)

I was convinced I'd tried this before, and also read loads of times on here and elsewhere that red button games were definitely not on Sky Go. Not there earlier but looked again tonight and there they were on the home page just as you said!! (under "other live games" I think)

Many thanks for this!

They are lucky to not be down to ten men.

More classic championship refereeing, that could've snapped his shin

 

[jt64]

Freeman with the easiest chance he's ever going to get, twats it over the bar

 

[trav164]

It's mad what some creative players can do to a team.

Freezy should be finishing that though

[originaltrueblade]

Tedious first half

 

[metalblade]

We and the ref are letting them bully us. Fuckin lino on south side is 10 yards behind play. Tempo to slow again Blades

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

I thought that was quite entertaining.
Sides are fairly evenly matched.
PNE guy should have been red carded though. Horrible tackle.
And Freeman should have put that away after the best move of the match.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Half time 0-0
Looked good playing high tempo for the first 10 minutes. Then as expected PNE being 0-1 down have been posiitive.

Their goal was lucky, was a weird Olsen error but PNE have probably been slightly the better team, think they’re winning the midfield battle.

The ball just doesn’t seem to be falling for us. Ndieye has hardly even touched the ball but we probably look more like scoring than them.

The positives are it was 1-1 at half time against Petrboro and looked what happened 2nd half. Also the players and crowd seem a bit flat but you would expect kicking against the Kop 2nd half we’ll raise the intent and go for it.

We have loads of sub options so I’m still optimistic we’ll win. The mood within the ground around me on the Koo also seems supportive and optimistic.

 

[Cheesebored]

Far too strong for us. That said, should be 3-1 up. Poor atmosphere.

 

[robbiez666]

Fairly similar to Posh first half but we look a bit less on the same wavelength going forward and a bit worse at the back.

We are so much better when we move the ball quickly but there have been too many unsure passes from midfield and no one is linking up at the moment.

tbf to the lad on the tackle with Norwood I was as surprised as anyone that he was actually determined enough to get to it. Kicked the space that had the ball in the second before. Norwood's wasn't great either. Studs up. Both would have been interesting VAR decisions but I'm glad for the game there's still eleven-aside.

Our defence looks iffy again. Two games running the opposition are getting far too much room between centre back and fulback. Both RND and Olsen at fault for their goal. The former ball-watching, the latter completely misjudging the flight.

All to play for and it was 1-1 at halftime on Saturday.

As an aside, Kevin Gage is ten-times more annoying than Keith.

Will add that choices of drinks in the BLUT being cans of some shit lager, shit bitter or shit cider is not a great look

With 5Live, Talksport and Talksport 2 all commentating on some tinpot competition, and apparently no streams, I'm reduced to clicking Refresh on BBC Live Updates. Does Paddyschat still exist anywhere?

 

[Almosthuman]

We're deffo missing Ozzy

It's on sky sport red button isn't it?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Half time 0-0

Eh?

 

[Big Hitter]

Will be an interesting match. Preston are 2nd best in the league in terms of fewest shots on target conceded, so a step up. Side looking good with Olsen there, Berge back from COVID and hopefully Davies can be back soon.

A Fiver each way on the second favourite.

 

[FriethBlade]

How one footed is Freeman ?

 

[Jonnysufc]

How one footed is Freeman ?

Now we see why he doesn’t play.

 

[jt64]

Robinson nearly costing us another goal, and finally we have an actual good midfielder on for Freeman

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

We still haven’t got used to what championship football is. Look weak, easily out muscled and want to over pass it to death at times. We get a breakaway and than Norwood stops on the ball and allows them to get back - so frustrating to watch at times
