We would all have done the same

[HarryHaslam]

People taking about Man City where they rotate their world class players for other world class players when they are playing inferior opposition and it’s the same as us dropping players for inferior players against our promotion rivals, absolutely bat shit crazy

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I defend him against idiots. Idiots who wanted him sacked before he'd managed one game.

Idiots who say things and when challenged on them have no comeback so resort to making it personal or just don't respond.

Cretins who go on an internet forum at halftime during a game to call for the manager's head.

Plastic cretins who wank themselves silly about Chris Wilder.

Got it

You see him as the anti Wilder don't you

And it's obvious why you hate Wilder

Look, Heckeh isn't good enough. He will NOT get us up. You probably even know it.

But keep deluding yourself like the super big blade you are

 

[robbiez666]

Spot on pal

There is literally a group of about a dozen posters on here who spend all their time looking for ways to criticise the manager.

They must have been livid when we were top of the team. In fact, I can't remember seeing most of them post, when we were.

They're loving it now.

 

[wak1889]

Look at the injuries pal... he has to manage the squad, the team selection had nothing to do with us being 2 0 down, it was two individual errors

The injury excuse is now becoming ridiculous, out of that 11 most would be starters or are you including o connell who hasn't played for 200 matches or lowe who was on loan for a season and who everyone on here would have sent back after Watford away, or coulibaly who has never played , or Ciaran Clarke again hardly our player , basically we have Berge and out , RND who would trouble the starting 11 and maybe Bogle

 

[Ned the Donkey]

Tired?? Try a proper job

The braindead fuckwittery of this "argument" never ceases to amaze

It's not about whether you are tired compared to, say, a miner who's just finished a 12 hour shift, it's about whether you are marginally tired - 70, 80, 90% - compared to the professional athletes you are up against.

Next time we play Treeton MW I'll listen to this fucking stupid "argument". But while ever we are facing professional opposition I'll treat it with the contempt it deserves

An F1 car not firing on all cylinders could probably get you to Tesco's to pick up the shopping - though I don't know where you'd put it - what it's not going to do is win many races.

 

[Greenblades]

I do love this argument when the defence and players like Norwood don’t ever get tired, yet young bucks like Doyle need a rest.

Absolutely spot on. Shambles of a starting line up and how anyone defends it I don’t know. He won’t play players allegedly because they are not right but put Fleck on from the start. Norwich were garbage and our manager blew it today.

Ok I agree let let's sack him and get slav back

 

[derfblade.3]

Tell that to pep pal, foden rested today, maybe you should take over at man city?

You compare our squad to Man City's? We are down to the bare bones at the moment. If we had a full squad then "maybe" rest a couple now and then but at the moment we need the best available to start.

I hate Wilder because he's a Coward who when the going got tough took millions off the 'club he loves' and ran away at the first possible opportunity. After wasting millions upon millions demanding we overpay for the players he has to have. "It's like spending his own money", and it really was since he took home millions of it. Leaving the club in a terrible position and on form which was embarrassing.

Our humiliation was saved by the manager who isn't good enough. Apparently. He's not the anti-Wilder. But you hate him because he doesn't beat the badge every 5 seconds and go on about what a big Blade he is. He doesn't rant and rave like a child or go only about 'lefties' in interviews.

So our manager dithered and kicked the ball against pukki for their first goal?

 

[1987]

Would have been the team you picked today then Drunk? No issues at all?

 

[JJBlade]

3, 4, 5 hours on a tennis court, almost every day during a tournament

The top players might have done 40 hours actual playing in a tournament

What do they do ?
That's right they sign up for the doubles, and mixed doubles too

What do they do after that ?
That's right, they head off to the next tournament

Footballers and the people that handle them are a bunch of pricks.

Tennis players, golfers, gymnasts, racing drivers and other athletes in single participant sports are fit, and they stay fit despite working much harder than footballers.

Rugby players get injured, properly fucking injured, but their out playing again next game.

Footballers show exactly what they are, 8 hours of training a week and two 90 minute games some weeks and they can't cope with it because they are not physically or mentally fit, plus they can offload the responsibility to some other half fit twat

 

[Greenblades]

Yes we all know that. My comment was about resting players and a crap starting line up. Of course just my opinion but mystic Meg surely does not pick that team.

You got there in the end....

I don't love Wilder. I respect him and what he did for the club, which is far more than Heckeh will ever even approach

I don't hate Heckeh. He did serve a purpose and stabilise things - that's what caretakers do. But he is far from good enough and it's becoming painfully obvious. Adequate managers would never be incapable of getting a squad as good as ours (and it is good) performing away from home once in a while, for starters

 

[Drunk blade]

He has to rest players pal, they cant all play every game, he's doing a great job imo, we would have won but fir a couple of individual errors, give him a break ffs, we could have a lot worse managers in charge

We're 4th in the league?

We've had 7-10 players out just about every game this season.

And you call our manager names. And belittle him.

I agree. apart from Sharp, Brewster, Fleck, Osborn, Basham, Baldock, McAtee and Davies that would be our starting 11.

 

[Montymagic]

Very even first half ... we had more possession just two individual mistakes from long punts led to goal

Two goals .....

But if we had started the first half with those players I had mentioned....we would probably would have won this game.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

That's because I am a very bad blade. I am not Robbie Z

I accept points will be dropped due to injuries but we've had more than enough available to avoid the pathetic piss weak capitulation of the last 6 games

The manager's shortcomings have caught up with us, and will cost us

We're going to waste our best chance of promotion out of loyalty and respect to the Great Heckeh and because he isn't catastrophically bad enough. I think that's really stupid

We'll see....

 

[Drunk blade]

I don't agree and we might have had Ndaiye out for a month with a hamstring injury

 

[spongebobblade]

You do understand that players aren't just data in a game, right? You card just keep playing them over and over and over again when they're tired?

So why not sub them against Coventry when it was clear that there was far more space and it was crying out for Khadra and Brewster. It should have happened after 65-70 mins. McBurnie was fucked. Hecky was brave enough to go for the win at Swansea but bottled it Wednesday night without giving any thought to this Saturday. I’m certainly not anti Hecky but the last 2 games team selection and substitutions have been dreadful. You can point to individual mistakes but he has to shoulder the majority of the blame

 

[Montymagic]

Explain why it's completely different and why a goalkeeper and defender wouldn't have made mistakes with them on the pitch?

I'm not...If you think that first half team was better than the team that finished that match .....well I'm lost for words

 

[nopigfansintown]

What if Doyle, Mcburnie (carrying hernia issue) Ndiaye got injured? Who would you play then? This risking players business has really gone well for us so far this season. As it was we were still forced to gamble on a few.

 

[robbiez666]

I'm not...If you think that first half team was better than the team that finished that match .....well I'm lost for words

where did I say that?!

 

[Montymagic]

Look at the injuries pal... he has to manage the squad, the team selection had nothing to do with us being 2 0 down, it was two individual errors

Yet they came on second half and ran rings around Norwich, not bad for injured players who can't play.

WHAT SPACE? They were camped in their half. The best two players on the pitch were Ndiaye and McBurnie. Take them both off and there would be 50 threads about him being clueless. Fuck me.

Do you not think that he was the main reason we got to the play-offs last season?

 

[bakeblade]

Just start the best players. If they get "tired" then make the changes later on but FFS always start your best 11.

Particularly when they have a weeks rest coming up

 

[Caseh]

Tired?? Try a proper job

Worst argument to this point, and I see it repeated all the time. Insane.

Plenty of space. Fuck me what planet are you on? You’ve just mentioned that players get tired then totally contradicted yourself. McBurnie was excellent but clearly shattered. It wasn’t rocket science to see
