[LS5 Blade]

I think the English Ranieri may need to do something about this defensive shape very soon! 2 bomb scares and a half asleep Egan isn't working together!

 

[HeySethUTB]

Honestly, we’ve been so slow on the ball for ages now. Playing a side that has the best home defensive record and we have no creative force on the pitch it’s dire.

 

[Drunk blade]

Saville fakes a head injury and the ref laps it up... they're up thenother end and nearly score...... why don't we do the same!!!?

 

[Wickersley Blade]

Millwall player barely touched flops to the floor and they have a dangerous free kick

When you're defending and out of possession, just fall over feigning a head injury. Bullshit yet again.

 

[Gretsch Blade]

Need to wake up here otherwise we ll be 3 down!
Really, slow & poor start.
Not winning first or second ball and look defence rocky

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Could blame Lowe, Robinson, Egan and Wes for that. All played a part in that goal.

We didn’t even get close to him…Shocking!

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Get Norwood OFF NOW he's doing the same as he did against Boro...losing the ball.

 

[Wickersley Blade]

Saville fakes a head injury and the ref laps it up... they're up thenother end and nearly score...... why don't we do the same!!!?

Absolute nonsense int it.

 

[Geordie Blade]

I think the English Ranieri may need to do something about this defensive shape very soon! 2 bomb scares and a half asleep Egan isn't working together!

We’ve swapped the full backs over.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

We are so slow, ball watching, lack of movement and thinking.

 

[Geordie Blade]

We’ve swapped the full backs over.

And now swapped them back again.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Calm down lads, it’s early days we could easily turn it round.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We’re very quickly becoming a bit of a joke.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Saunter Berge.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Midfield weak as piss

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Wow...should have been 1-0 down after 2 minutes.

Their player clean through central with just the goalie to beat. Scuffed his shot and hit it almost directly at the keeper who made a good save, lucky there.

Egan been slow all this half.

 

[Drunk blade]

Sandra Berge needs to come off ... he's just not interested

 

[b1ade4life]

Saunter Berge.

Fucking sander burke

 

[Headshrinker]

I don't feel like the wing backs are involved enough to carry only a three man midfield. It's been like that for a while now.

 

[Blade58]

We are looking more like a relegation side

 

[Sudley]

Calm down lads, it’s early days we could easily turn it round.

 

[Dave9777]

I need same day delivery on a rubber mattress protector as now also have a horrible feeling we will piss away our points lead and end up in the playoffs

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Midfield still on the bus. They are "up" for this, we are not...at the moment

 

[T-Blade]

Absolutely pathetic performance this is. These players are absolute bottlejobs.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

The top 2 are extremely isolated because the midfield is so immobile

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Our ball retention has been poor, again.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Calm down lads, it’s early days we could easily turn it round.

True but the worry for me would if you interviewed Hecky now.

He would say "it's been a tough match, exactly what we expected but it's still only 1-0 so we are still in it with plenty of time left"

However the reality is that Millwall are all over us, it's only been 20 minutes played but they could easily be 2 or 3-0 in front
Yet again our midfield just doesn't seem to function, as we struggle to put 3 passes together, so our match tactic is "pass it to Norwood"
and he's tries a "long punt up pitch", when his passing is off we look a poor long ball team.

Why can't we just have 2 minutes of possession and feel our way into the game.
You would expect Hecky to coach them and instruct them to play some possession stuff at times, to take the game away from the opposition a bit.

The positive for me is that McBurnie and Jebbison look hungry on the rare occasion we get in their half.
The main negative is the midfield, looks like 3 strangers have just been thrown together with no instructions.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

If Hecky fully relinquishes the 14 point we had. He’ll be as employable as err…Chris Wilder

 

[LS5 Blade]

As it stands

We look suspect at the back
We are creating nothing
We have reverted to Jokanovic-ball of slow passing in non threatening areas until we misplace it and get in trouble

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see its not working!! For the love of god try something different!

 

[Captain2]

Piss Poor performance so far look totally disinterested
