Get Fleck off

Yep. Would rather play with 10 on Saturday than now.

 

[paidsy]

Not starting McAtee when he cannot play on Saturday is going to baffle me for a long while.

 

[Jon Bon II]

This game is like playing FIFA or Pro Evo on a really underpowered PC.

 

[Jan Age]

Without doubt the worst 45 minutes of football I’ve witnessed for a life time from any team.

If we do go up then we could break Derbys record and as for Saturday it could be utterly embarrassing

 

[drblade]

Changes needed at half time, Hecky

 

[Bobby b]

One day amhedodzic will score an absolute belter of an overhead kick, hes had a lot of practice swings

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Got exactly what we're after here

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

Poor half. But booing takes the piss

 

[originaltrueblade]

Fleck against City FFS

MORE IMPORTANT IS TONIGHT

get him off

 

[Nah den]

This is abject. If the thinking with Fleck is that he needs minutes it's a managerial mistake. This game is more important in the context of the season. Plus Fleck will get as much into his legs by jogging about at Shirecliffe as he will jogging about at BDTBL. He's touched it 5 times in that first half, the best one being booting it straight up in the air in injury time.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Well, that was enjoyable......not. Wow, 45 mins and nothing to report. Did we have a shot on target? Asking for a friend

 

[Champagneblade]

Anybody know any good jokes?

Christ that was hard on the eyes.

5/10s all round really.

 

[1987]

Midfield seem to be coasting. No drive, no press, no speed in passing through their press. Just that slow, ponderous bobbar midfield of semi-old. Tactical issue or just playing shite? Or both

 

[robbiez666]

Nit sure why Fleck is getting scapegoated. Not been any worse than anyone else. Let's discuss Doyle ridiculous freekick to Anel where we lost the ball.

It's just really poor at the the moment. Davies is the only one with any credit. Our heading is terrible. We just head it anywhere. We look asleep all over the pitch. Can't string any passes together or find any space.

 

[drblade]

Wonder what the Man City scouts are making of it..

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Practicing defending for Satdi. They are City after all!!!!

 

[buddy]

Changes needed at half time, Hecky

Norwood and sharp on soon !

 

[Gretsch Blade]

Brizzle look like they've got 14 players vs our 8. They're everywhere and win every second ball.
Clueless first half blades. Wake up.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Without doubt the worst 45 minutes of football I’ve witnessed for a life time from any team.

It wasn’t good but “worst in a lifetime”? I think we’ve all seen much much worse.

 

[CornwallBlade]

I hate it when we play McBurnie from the start. You just know we’re going to get hoofball. Can't think of one passing move through midfield in that 45 minutes of dross. Only players coming out of that with any credit were Illy and Doyle

 

[JayGreen17]

Fleck against City FFS

MORE IMPORTANT IS TONIGHT

get him off

I’m actually furious that he’s prioritising the cup against using all our best available players to win this game, if we fuck up promotion because of this it’s down to him …..

 

[JayGreen17]

Macca and Jebbo Asap…

 

[drblade]

There must be summat up with Macca

 

[JayGreen17]

Taken away 50% of out creatively and goal threat with not starting Macca, utter madness……

ZERO shots on goal…..

 

[RWE]

Those booing are embarrassing. Playing poor, yes, but booing a side in 2nd and with a semi final on Saturday is ridiculous

 

[Jan Age]

It wasn’t good but “worst in a lifetime”? I think we’ve all seen much much worse.

I haven’t honest and I’ve seen some dross….there is no plan but it’s all about grinding out results

 

[jono_t2000]

It's just really poor at the the moment. Davies is the only one with any credit. Our heading is terrible. We just head it anywhere. We look asleep all over the pitch. Can't string any passes together or find any space.

Let's break it down the strikers and midfield:

Doyle - looks up sees midfield standing still and marked can only boot it long as a release.

Mcburnie and Ndiaye - Feeding off scraps because of the above.

Berge - Jogging but at least has had a couple of good driving runs when got the ball.

Fleck - Nowt, nothing, nil, zippo. Epitomized when got the ball, passed it straight to Bristol and then just got dribbled past like he wasn't even there.

Illy and Doyle have been poor so far ( along with the rest of them)
Get an extra striker on and play Illy behind them. We might be able to link play then

 

[drblade]

Macca on!

 

[drblade]

Makes the starting line up even more unfathomable
