My take ...

[Snowflake]

Berge was crap.

If you ignore all the good things he did today you would be right !!
I have never suggested that he is outstanding, but he has a quality of control and passing that most of the squad do not have.
Replace him and you are relying on Bogle, who has talent but lacks being over useful.

So let's get rid of this footballing anomaly and buy a plyer more resonant with firstly our game and secondly the English game. Berge is more suited to a style of play which is completely alien to how United function. He is a complete waste of £20m and a waste of 90 minutes in a United shirt.

[Constantly Optimistic...]

As usual I agree with most you have stated. Essentially, normal service resumed after the dizzy but thoroughly enjoyable FA Cup interlude. But is this journey spoiling our EPL ambitions?

As many have stated, the Norwood, Fleck, Berge midfield doesn't work. Why is this our first choice midfield? The embarrassing sight of seeing the 3 of them try to lump back to assist the defence for the Blackburn counter attacking goal was hilarious, but sad for us blades.
Not one of the chasing pack have anything like the quality we have, but we still struggle to put our class to good use. The disconnect between our defence and attack is frightening tbh.
What happened in the half-time team talk to result in probably the worst 2nd half performance in ages? Blackburn have let in more 2nd half goals than almost any team in the championship. We never put them under any pressure at all. Exasperating.
So, in summary, we were not bad 1st half, abysmal 2nd half and Boro are moving like a steam train. But I hope, and believe our class will show through if Hecky and Co have the gonads to pick the team on form, ability and balance rather than dogma and favouritism.
We have some tough games ahead, but a good run of games in April. We are still in the driving seat, but it's currently filling with shit.

 

[FinBlade]

We played most of the match with old starting XI players and we struggled with them like season before. We really need to have midfield renewed (not only loanees, who have been decent) no matter what level we are playing next season. We are also in challenging spot if Ndiaye will go elsewhere during the summer as I think we need 1 or 2 new strikers as well.

 

[Bell4]

Where was the - let’s get em , we’re going to fight like fk to knock these fkrs out of the game and cement ourselves as promotion certs , no matter what -

I didn’t see any of that other than Blackburn in the second half

We are powder puff - where’s the bollocks and belief gone in our team ?

 

[Geordie Blade]

Back to business as usual for us today.

It was our eight defeat of the season - hardly ‘usual’.

 

[Snowflake]

So let's get rid of this footballing anomaly and buy a plyer more resonant with firstly our game and secondly the English game. Berge is more suited to a style of play which is completely alien to how United function. He is a complete waste of £20m and a waste of 90 minutes in a United shirt.

pommpey

I think it best for him and us to move on, but replacing him and how to handle any change of style needs careful thought.
He isn’t a waste of £20m unless we cannot get any fee on resale and at present he is the best we have on the right side of midfield. Which highlights one of our weaknesses.

 

[PaulHalfway]

Very lucky Basham wasn’t sent off, he should have been
Second half out battled in midfield, no service to the forwards
Final ball as seemingly usual poor choices and execution
Hardly created any clear cut chances
The better teams in the league have sussed us out on their home games, out run and pressure our midfield, sit deep and break quick and we don’t seem to be able to deal with it

and thats why we need an extra man in midfield for away games pointless playing 2 strikers away from home if we havent the creativity or numbers in midfield to provide a supply line as good as norwood and fleck have been for us their both too static with no pace and berge who is supposed to be the one up with the strikers still just doesnt look interested i would drop all 3 for reading and put doyle mcatee and coulibally in they cant possibly be as worse as those 3

He’s not very good

 

[CornwallBlade]

Back to business as usual for us today. The seven point fillip and game in hand once again looks frighteningly fragile after a game of two halfs and one dismal outcome.

Hecky went back to his Championship First Eleven for much of the lineup today, which may have been the undoing of us. After a cracking win vs Tottenham midweek where we opened our collective hearts and the B squad got the victory they deserved, today we were either profligate with clear chances or allowed Blackburn to pin us in our own half, press us into going backwards or hit us on the break. First half we looked capable, if vulnerable and it was that vulnerability which gave them their early lead. One minute we are up in their box, and less than 30 seconds later Fodders is watching a pretty saveable shot whiz past him. They also struck the post and bar, so it's not like you can say Blackburn were undeserved of their three points. We huffed and puffed and their keeper never really made a big save. If you compare how a scratch team went at Tottenham on Wednesday and how we allowed ourselves to be unpicked today it says it all about HJ&SMcC's dilemma, especially when it comes to fielding a fucking total waste of a transfer fee and shirt that is Sander fucking Berge. Elsewhere it wasn't quite so bad and we seemed to play better after a torrid first fifteen in the second half where Rovers were all over us. Both wingbacks went but I am at an absolute loss as to why Hecky replaced Fleck and Norwood with McAtee and Doyle and left a suitcase sat out on the pitch. Either way, we lost and we lost bad, with plenty of opportunity to win and win good.

Maybe Hecky's first eleven isn't the answer here?

Foderingham 6/10: Poor angles on the goal and the post hit and some shit distribution in the first half. And a spoddy punch in the second.
Bogle 6/10: Some good but a lot bad. Out of position and run a bit ragged. Overplayed once to often. Does anyone think Bogle is actually more a right midfielder in a 4-4-2?
Basham 5/10: Good first half and a shocker of a second. Mazy dance through their backline and a fucked up finish and one soon after where he should have taken a touch. He still shows composure, but these days he just can't cover the yards like Anel can
Egan 6.5/10: Decent industrious game again marshalling the defence, but fuck me he cannot head a ball for toffee
JLT 7/10: Usual tough-as-old-boots Morganesque outing for Jack. When you think, 18 months ago he was 'the golden robot', he is nothing of the sort now
Lowe 4/10: Regressing in output and now showing his limitations. If we go up, he won't be coming with us.
Berge 2/10: Bit speechless as to how this Jessie stays on for 90 minutes and gives us so little. One point for his shot in the first half and the other for a handful of touches but in truth he is such a fucking waste of a shirt
Norwood 6.5/10: Don't think he had a bad game. Didn't deserve to be subbed anyway. Him and Doyle dropped Right and Left with McAtee and NDaiye as RAM and LAM would have been much better
Fleck 6/10: You can see he wants to recapture what form and output he had back in the day but face it ... he's been at the club seven years now and through a rollercoaster of ups and downs and is now on the final loop. Not a bad game for him and a lot better than I have seen him play, but he's out in the summer, up or not.
NDaiye 6/10: Tried and tried to make an impact and won some key balls but was never allowed to run at or through their defence and was reduced to coming deep to get the ball in the second half
McBurnie 6/10: Another one who did what he could but as the game wore on you knew it was never gonna drop for him. Did well defensively too

Sharp 5/10: Battled but failed
Osborn 6/10: Again, much, much better in the LWB role than LM
Baldock 5/10: Didn't offer much more than Bogle to be honest
Doyle 6/10: Wrongly subbed Norwood. Did okay when on and really should have subbed Berge
McAtte 5/10: LIttle impact or chance of

HJ&SMcC 3/10: Blackburn were really full of holes we should have been 1-3 up in the first half. No idea what they were playing at in the second but we seemed to dither about countering Blackburn's changed approach to attack and leaving Berge on was a fucking war crime. They need to have the moral courage now to drop the fucker and consider life without him. We need a more dynamic midfield like we saw on Wednesday and him ambling about and putting fuck all in is effectively making us play with ten men.

We can not now afford to lose any more games whilst Middlesbrough are breathing down our necks. reduce the gap to one and we WILL fail, end up in the playoffs, fuck that up and end up playing the Pigs next season, facing further financial ruin. That is the cost of days like today - Basham et al take note.

And Sky commentators - why not just admit you don't fucking like Sheffield United, eh? We get it. Wednesday are by far a sexier team and Leeds once won the League One title.

Cunts

pommpey

Thanks, as per Pomps.
Berge has become our new Lundstram - baffling how/why he keeps getting picked based on what he does on the pitch. Obvious that the team v Spurs were breaking their balls trying to impress but some of test team clearly know they are a shoe in for the starting XI regardless and that is never good for a team.

 

[BarcaBlade]

Blackburn were pretty good. That they dared to score against us and refused to roll over is a disgrace.

If Hecky doesn't quite to the football league immediately demanding the opposition cave in without a fight, starting with Reading, he'll be gone by November.

I don't we'll make the play offs now. League Two beckons.

Or maybe not. Think I'll go bake some muffins.

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

So let's get rid of this footballing anomaly and buy a plyer more resonant with firstly our game and secondly the English game. Berge is more suited to a style of play which is completely alien to how United function. He is a complete waste of £20m and a waste of 90 minutes in a United shirt.

pommpey

Here’s the thing.
We can’t get rid of Berge,right now or get anyone in, even if Hecky wanted to.BECAUSE THE WINDOW HAS CLOSED!
We’re now in the middle of a promotion battle, so probably much better to focus on what we can do, to help and support the players we have available to us,to get us there, rather than carping about individuals.
The constant yo-yoing of 10 out of 10 one game, for a player,when we win, and 2 the next, with insults,and pleas to get rid, when we lose, is hardly thoughtful or even helpful at the mo.
Whilst I always find your comments of interest, a bit of perspective and an eye on the prize, is what we need right now.
We had an amazing run, earlier in the season with the same players, so they have the ability to get us there.Anyone who was at the Watford game could see by the way they were putting their bodies on the line,that they want it, as badly as we do.
In my view,it’s their team ethic and work as a team, that will get them through, rather than the merits of one individual, who in any event,has contributed to getting us where we are today.Spoiler alert, players have good games and bad ones.Berge has had some good ones and some bad ones, but, I for one am glad, he’s going to be available and part of our squad for the run in.We will need him!

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Lets face it it's not his fault, looking back the fault really belongs to who ever signed him and a few other (it (turned out) overpriced players .
Berge is a nice guy and a nice footballer, but he's not a leader and never will be, and without doubt the team is crying out for a leader.
We have Billy I know, but Billy doesn't control the midfield play and cant do a thing without the service .
We only have Norwood who for me isn't really a leader but when he's off so is the service and so is the team,
The last mid field leader we had was Gibbs-White ? , and we've never replaced him. in fact we seem to be living on the fading hope that Jack O'Connell will one day return.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

If we are going to fuck this season up, then at least do it being brave. From here on in, play the same shape as v. Spurs, with an 11 of Wes, Anel, Egan, JLT, Baldock, Os, Brooks, Doyle, Coulibaly, McAtee & Ndiaye.

I don't want to us ever start with a midfield of Norwood, Fleck & Berge again. I don't want to see Sharp subbed on before Jebbison ever again.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Norwood an fleck a 6?? Passenger's all game 3 and that's been generous!

Valley Blades

 

[Addison]

We rested players specifically for this game and they failed miserably. Against the Wall there were excuses for the short turnaround yesterday there were none. The comedy breakaway goal was reminiscent of the first game of the season against Watford which confirms tactically we have failed to address the issue of dealing with pace coming at us. Without Anel in the team it seems we have little in the way of solutions to cope with this. Yet against Watford at Home we did change to cope with pace by dropping deeper and filling space. Did we think its little old Blackburn so we can all charge up the pitch basketball fashion and not worry about the counter?

Tactically yesterday we were back to the problems of old concede early away from home and struggle to recover. Our approach to away games in 2023 is concerning. We start slow usually concede and then appear clueless how to get back into the game apart from an individual moment of skill. The last two games were impressive in how we managed the opposition but they were at Home. Blackburn managed us from start to finish and the manner of it is the reason why fans are becoming worried. We can't sugar coat it by saying the oppo. played their best game of the season. Our drab performance just lit the blue touch paper under their automatic place charge.

To earn the right to go up you have to show a never say die attitude away from Home and adapt tactics to ensure you come away with something. In the 2019 promotion season we went to WBA and Weeds and got the wins that mattered putting a statement down for the rest of the division. All the rest are seeing now if you squeeze them in midfield, outbattle them you can hurt them down the flanks as their wingbacks have gone awol up the pitch.

We can't rely on trying to limp over the line by getting results against the perceived poorer teams because some will be fighting for their lives. We have to fundamentally change our approach to away games start tight and then take the game to them as the 90 minutes progresses. That starts with Baldock being reinstated and until RND returns Osborn at LWB whilst also giving Clark with his defending experience some game time now he's fit.

The desire in beating Spurs was missing against Bburn. You have to question why this is. This game as far as the future of the Club is concerned was more important. Did the coaching staff take their eye off the ball and allow the euphoria of the win on Wednesday and the prospect of Wembley after the draw to dumb down the approach to the game? The manager post match talks about the emotional fatigue of the Spurs results affecting players including those who came on as sub. If thats the case we need to reset what our priorities are for the rest of the season. Its promotion or bust literally. The FA Cup is a free hit and should be treated as such. If we go out to Bburn then so be it. No disaster. Not getting promoted will be.

We’re now in the middle of a promotion battle, so probably much better to focus on what we can do, to help and support the players we have available to us,to get us there, rather than carping about individuals.

So, 'stop moaning about players not pulling their weight'?

The constant yo-yoing of 10 out of 10 one game, for a player,when we win, and 2 the next, with insults,and pleas to get rid, when we lose, is hardly thoughtful or even helpful at the mo.

In your opinion. I disagree.

Whilst I always find your comments of interest, a bit of perspective and an eye on the prize, is what we need right now.

So what do you suggest? Hands across the world? A 'Sander Berge Worksop'? A three part documentary on Channel 5? A White Paper raised? The prize is promotion. We are faltering and could end up in the playoffs which is historically a killing ground for our ambitions.

We had an amazing run, earlier in the season with the same players, so they have the ability to get us there.Anyone who was at the Watford game could see by the way they were putting their bodies on the line,that they want it, as badly as we do.

Yet in other games recently, we've played like mid-table makewieghts. Is that the perspective you allude to above? We're four points ahead of Boro and our goal difference is disappearing. Where do you want us to be in a month's time?

In my view,it’s their team ethic and work as a team, that will get them through, rather than the merits of one individual, who in any event,has contributed to getting us where we are today.

Has he? He's been fucking injured most of this season.

Spoiler alert, players have good games and bad ones.

Bigger spoiler alert, some also have a lot of bad games and precious few good ones. Usually these players don't cost £20m

Berge has had some good ones and some bad ones, but, I for one am glad, he’s going to be available and part of our squad for the run in.We will need him!

Which good games has he had, please? Have a look at my previous My Takes and you'll see the shit ones he's had.

pommpey

 

[Espania blade]

So you gave SB 10 on Wednesday but 2 today ? I saw little difference between his performances and whilst both were around 5/6 I thought he was better today.
May I suggest that you are judging him against a standard you want/ expect him to be rather than against a normal Championship standard. It’s not his fault we paid silly money for him.
If you leave him out who takes his place ? Bogle with Baldock behind ?

I want to agree with you about Berge - but I can't! He seems to play the channels behind the front two and midfield,
that doesn't require a lot of running, just a lot of reading the game, it makes him look lazy! and it doesn't work! he needs to be running at their defence
which we all know does work! he is filling a role that we have no one else that can do that job, I think that is why Heck'y keeps picking him.
When he does (try, some might say) to run he covers a lot of ground due to his step size, it looks languid and lazy.
Yesterday wasn't great but nor was anybody else, I've said this so many times before but when a team runs at us, takes out our midfield (Norwood), marks Andaye out of the game - we will struggle, and every team in the Championship now knows that!
A much maligned Osborne and sometimes Mcatee are there to add energy into the team, and that works! we seriously lack pace and energy,
I just wish we could move beyond the Wilder team/players of yesteryear! they've all been around too long, we need fresh faces, pace, energy & skill!!

Anyway, good report as always.
Let's thrash Reading!

Looking forward to your next bipolar 10 out of 10 rating for Berge, when we win again.

Hmmm. I can't ever say I have offered Sander Berge individually a 10/10. You obviously have some sort of obsessive .xls spreadsheet on what I do however so maybe you'll correct me on that. I did however give 'the team' 10/10 for beating Spurs the other night but that was in jubilation and marking anyone down critically would have been somewhat unfair. I hope you understand that, also.

We've won in the past and I have marked Berge on his performance. Critics such as you have responded to that, typically without illustrating why they see it different. This suggests a bit of a personalised agenda, or at best, a last of critical articulation, or even a shit-think personality trait. Or all three.

Correct. Have looked at that goal three or 4 times and poor old Fleck looks like he needs a set of wheels to catch their players.
We also need to address this tactic of back-peddling when sides are coming at us. It was noticeable they closed us down in our own half and denied us any impetus to mount an attack.

norwood and fleck have finished anyway after this season but for me we should be playing doyle and mcatee instead of them more energy and pace plus going with one striker and getting an extra body in midfield

Actually I totally agree that he's just not very good. Emperor's New Clothes and all that. We're essentially playing every match with 10 men. O Mark Duffy, wherefore art Thou?
For their goal, their midfield was streaming forward, sprinting past our midfield jogging back. We put in the kind of performance that Spuds did last Wednesday. Only slower....

What would being at the Majeski in person gain me over watching on telly with several different angles and a commentary? That's a serious question by the way, one which i know you lack the articulation even the potatoes to answer satisfactorily. Your tack, wearisome as it is, is 'if you don't personally attend games, then you don't have the levity to comment on them', which kinda fucks a lot of people off who watch it on streams and such too. Are they similarly unworthy also according to your shallow angle assessment of fandom? Do we have to be billy fucking massive blades and attend all games to have such beknighted opinions? I mean, do you go to every game? If you do, it's clear it gives you fuck all, because you spout such utter dogshit.

Bile-filled tantrum. Coming from someone whose lip is clearly wobbling because fans are reasoning now what a crock of shit Sander Berge actually is.

Dry your eyes lovey.

Think you’ll find there’s only one person who obsesses over you my friend.
Hope you’re going to Reading, not a long trip for you, and you can see, Sander,your hero of wednesday night, in the flesh.Maybe get his autograph, that’s if we win of course.If we lose, it’ll be another bile filled tantrum from you.

Ooooh. Here we go. Another one obsessed with me because I'm critical of his poster boy. Is that person 'you'? It seems so.



What would being at the Majeski in person gain me over watching on telly with several different angles and a commentary? That's a serious question by the way, one which i know you lack the articulation even the potatoes to answer satisfactorily.
