Positive from today's match

[Sheffsteel]

This side doesnt know when it's beaten.
Everything can be going against them but they still never give up.

This strength of character bodes well for a promotion battle.
It wasn't pretty (again) but we have this wonderful habit of continuously picking up results
.......oh and we're in the 5th round FA cup draw.....so we'll know our potential next opponent when playing Wrexham at the Lane.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Well said.
We keep going and never give up. Keep the faith Blades - promotion and the cup this season

 

[bonobo]

And it was a great game....

 

[Bladesdoc]

Absolute character from the boys. Some lads who don’t know when they’re beaten. Sharp Norwood Egan Ndiaye all on at the end and determined not to be beaten. Todays result feels a bit like the point at QPR. Events trying to conspire against us but these boys won’t let them. Promotion character displayed.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Our next signing should be a quality keeper.

 

[Ecco1889]

Positives are that despite at least 6 players having an off day,and down to 10 men,we showed a lot of guts to get something out of that game

 

[HighfieldBlade]

5th round draw tomorrow 7pm BBC1 during One Show.
Jones to draw the home teams, Jenas the away teams.

Clutching a few straws there pal

Clutching a few straws there pal

Why? They're perfectly valid points. A poor performance but down to ten men for nearly half an hour and really up against it. It doesn't matter who the opposition is. You still need to show mettle. And this side has it.

If it’s pigs I hope we lose. They’ll be 10x more determined than that set of cloggers today so we’ll lose to them.

 

[Frank the tank]

Mcburnie back is a big positive
Bash osborn Davies weren't

 

[Blacksea]

Positive was getting the late goal and stuffing it to the BBC cronies who were willing them on,never heard anyone of them say we were going to win,so apparently we were the underdogs according to them.

To be fair, they were quite generous to us (Shearer in particular) at the end. I'd have been a lot more critical.

 

[blade too long]

we are not the first club in FA cup history to find ties like this a real trial

we are in the hat and have home advantage now


ps wtf was that red card for suppose mtheir centre half can man handle and knee our player at will

 

[South Sea Blade]

Mcburnie back is a big positive
Bash osborn Davies weren't

Add to that McAtee who was the worst of the lot. In fact only Egan, Norwood and Lowe came out with any real credit. Jebbo would have too until he got reeled in by that wanker Tozer.

[Lupa The Noa]

Our next signing should be a quality keeper.

We've got a really good keeper in Jordan Amissah but he's clearly out of favour

 

[BobblesBlade]

And a better pitch will make us true favourites

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Gabbidon even said that Mullins had scored the winner before we knew what added time was going to be played

 

[metalblade]

Bags of character shown by the players when everything was against us. I'm also positive Bash isn't much good on the left of a back three and our #2 keeper can't command the 6 yard box.

 

[Bayingblade]

Thought Jebbison looked lively too. Seems the fourth official was the only one who saw him commit a red card offence...........

If indeed, he did

 

[Nick Jansky]

To be fair, they were quite generous to us (Shearer in particular) at the end. I'd have been a lot more critical.

I agree, but the match commentator was clearly willing a shock. When Wrexham’s 3rd went in he spouted something about it being too late for us to come back. That was in the 85th minute & there was clearly going to be a chunk of added time.

 

[Blacksea]

Gabbidon even said that Mullins had scored the winner before we knew what added time was going to be played

Both of them on TV and radio were a disgrace,and it sounds like Hecky enjoyed stuffing them as well from his interview

 

[Houston_Blade]

Hopefully it will be a repeat of Chesterfield and West Brom and we smash the set of toothless taffs 4 nil at a canter in the replay.

The tv coverage around this game has been nauseating and I’m just glad we fucked the narrative up.

Fair enough, we all love an underdog (apart from when they're playing against us!). There's not been many upsets this round so you can understand why they were getting a bit giddy.
Thankfully, the underdogs usually only get one big chance of causing an upset.

 

[Big Hitter]

Ref was a tosser. How is it possible to issue a REd card when he did NOT see the incident.? That wanker Tozer wants kneecapping before the replay -or better still 4 minutes in. Ndiaye -oh dear- blotted his copybook giving the ball away for their 3rd goal.. Too much tippy- tappy in final third from us. They went direct and shook us up. Get them down at the Lane and muller them. And him- Maverick or whatever...

 

[spongebobblade]

If it’s pigs I hope we lose. They’ll be 10x more determined than that set of cloggers today so we’ll lose to them.

Really? No real Blade would want to be beaten by the pigs at tiddly winks never mind in the fa cup

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I’ve always been critical of Hecky for not playing Doyle and McAtee in the same starting line up. But after today I take it all back. Playing both of them at the same time can sometimes create a huge void in the middle of the park.

 

[Terry Starlight]

We could do with the gate receipts and potential TV payment too

 

[Harrisblade]

To be fair, they were quite generous to us (Shearer in particular) at the end. I'd have been a lot more critical.

According to the BBC studio experts, in the first half we were the better team and had the best chances
