[fifty shades of blade]

This is better

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Some reyt negative Norris's on here toneyt. Let them gel ffs.

I'm sorry, I'll be more positive. Yay, Souza had our first shot on goal after 30 minutes. Is that okay?

It's a public forum. If fans want to bitch and moan tonight because the Blades have been awful all half then let them. I'd rather read negative honesty than deluded glass full garbage based on nothing more than blind faith.

 

[Thrice]

Souza definitely has a presence. He doesn't hide. But a bit careless on the ball.

 

[Sithblade]

We're showing some promise here, so much better than the Palace game.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Having a good spell here

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Benie looks like his confidence is coming

 

[71Blade]

Hamer and Souza working well

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Brennan Johnson, excruciatingly punchable face

 

[SUFCinks]

Agree with all the current positivity. Definately feel much more composed. We just need to be a bit quicker, and braver with the ball and i think we can get back into the game. Been impressed with souza and traore so far.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Brennan Johnson, excruciatingly punchable face

Smash the cunt's teeth in

 

[The Hobott]

Benie looks like his confidence is coming

He's good on the ball

 

[raimond]

What is lowe, he certainly isnt a defender and hes not any good going forward, I cant see what he brings us,

Nesh, can't read it, loses the ball. But let's look for the positives; on the plus side, he is out injured a fair bit.

 

[blAdes96]

We've definitely grown into it, Souza & Hamer look composed.Shame we shot ourselves in the foot starting slow and conceding sloppy...

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Brennan Johnson, excruciatingly punchable face

Could not possibly agree any more

 

[Alan Gordon Partridge]

Can't fault the away fans tonight. Sounds like a library in the home end...

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Pleased how composed Souza looks

 

[paidsy]

Absolutely hideous start, Hecky really needs to get Lowe under the microscope now after that. The midfield showing real promise, Benie too. If we can stop shooting ourselves in the foot defensively and pick up some proper reinforcements up the top end, we could do alright.

 

[S6Blademan]

Massive fan of benie traore

Never stops and looks good on the ball

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

What a wonderful 45 minutes of football.

 

[VictoryBlade]

Can I just say, generally pathetic but whilst we aint got the manpower I do Blame Hecky for playing Max Lowe ............I really do

 

[HarryHaslam]

100% something to build on, just need to stop slitting our own throats with diabolical mistakes.

 

[YES Blade]

We look a lot better, but not showing the much needed quality in the final third.

 

[SELondon_Bladette]

New lads looking good I think. Hamer trying some pretty impressive passes to get us through. Also impressed with Traore... Fingers crossed can come out and capitalize on some sloppy Florest defending

 

[YES Blade]

Can I just say, generally pathetic but whilst we aint got the manpower I do Blame Hecky for playing Max Lowe ............I really do

On today’s performance Osborn has to be ahead of Lowe for LWB

 

[JackSUFC]

Souza definitely has a presence. He doesn't hide. But a bit careless on the ball.

Looks like he’s trying to occupy the same space as Norwood too much to me. Maybe Davies for Norwood after an hour?

 

[paidsy]

Can I just say, generally pathetic but whilst we aint got the manpower I do Blame Hecky for playing Max Lowe ............I really do

Was saying this about 20 minutes ago. Was certainly a better option than Stevens last year but we all saw what he was capable, or incapable, of.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Massive fan of benie traore

Never stops and looks good on the ball

Yep, he looks like he knows what he's doing with the ball in attacking areas

His physicality might make or break it for him in the PL

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Brennan Johnson, excruciatingly punchable face

Is his dad there by any chance ?

 

[Bobby b]

The cock up in defense for their goal apart I think weve shown much more intent than the palace game, overall it's not been too bad, gary Birtles is doing my freaking head in, he cant see any foul forest do and he cant talk about anything other than forest

 

[Thrice]

On today’s performance Osborn has to be ahead of Lowe for LWB

He's the worst player on the pitch and it's noticeable.
