Who along with Wes , were probably our best two players on Saturday

Wasn’t meant to dis thie two but it was too much of an ask for 2 young lads but you’re right they equipped themselves well but were far from ready

 

[FriethBlade]

I've stuck a playful, if misguided quid on Egan to get the first goal at 33-1. Wish me well Blades

He's 50s on betfair and I've had a fiver

 

[prince albert]

There’s shedloads of dark fruits on the platform ahead of the 16:40 if that helps.

Depending on time I might have a quick one in Canalhouse.

In canal house now , rather busy

Not allowing more in and arrived at the same time as a group that severely harmed my chances of talking myself in.

 

[Frank the tank]

It's pretty bad that we've been allowed to start the season, without a recognised strikeforce in place. People keep talking about the midfield being the issue, "the midfield not creating enough so it doesn't matter whose up front", and that McBurnie and potentially Brewster coming back in will give us a boost (but neither have had a proper pre-season and Brewster's been out nearly 9 months).

Fair enough, with Hamer and Davies and Souza we might have a stronger more energetic and balanced midfield now. I accept that one and I look forward to seeing that on the pitch.

But trusting in a 20 year old on Osula whose never even scored for the first team, and then Traore for all his effort, he already looks extremely lightweight for the level he's playing at but really hope I'm eating my words as ever, because that will mean we're getting something out of him and that's what we all want. But we should have given ourselves a better chance with a more recognised strikeforce than we've got.

If they gave out gold medals for stating the obvious you would be the jess ennis of s24su

Obvious to us ....seemingly rocket science to whoever is trying to run the club

 

[YES Blade]

Anyone got any streams for tonight they could PM me? My usual site is playing up

 

[JayGreen17]

Same please

 

[sheff_blade90]

i can see tonight being spicy after the events of 15 mths ago, espically as despite break numerous FA & police laws. they consider themselves the victims

but they surprised me on last Saturday. that was probally the weakest front 5 in league ive seen since adkins in 2015, & we might have been 2nd best but we still deserved a point, if we can have similar performance to palace with the added quality of hamer, souza someone to replace Osborn & Basham in midfield & ousla up front. we've got a chance & get a point

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Same please

And me if you please; thanks.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Me three!!

 

[Liaminho9]

Me three!!

Aye i’ll join that bandwagon too!

 

[Swannyblade]

Aye i’ll join that bandwagon too!

I also need some stream options - if anyone’s feeling kind, please dm me

 

[SwissBlade]

You lot need to get on the spendwagon

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[BouncinBlade]

Baldock not starting apparently. Anyone know why?

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

 

[VwBlade]

Osborn at RWB ffs

 

[drblade]

George is a big loss.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Not surprised but it's still shocking how poor this squad is

 

[Frank the tank]

Osborn at RWB ffs

He did OK there last time

 

[S6Blademan]

That bench looks like Steve coopers face

 

[wavy-blade]

Osborn at RWB ffs

Lost already

 

[JayGreen17]

So Hecky full of bollocks again about George, saying he just had cramp.

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hi Stegosaurus here

Needs to play Trusty instead of Robinson. Robinson is a liability

 

[Geordie Blade]

Baldock not starting apparently. Anyone know why?

Still injured from last week, I guess.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Me looking at the squad for tonight

 

[originaltrueblade]

Hope to see Marsh on sometime tonight
