That was awful marking for the 4th players just stood that was pathetic work so hard to get back into the game and just stand watching. Garbage

Anel went to sleep there - ball watching

 

[Chimpan-A]

All over.... keeper looked very slow getting down to that shot

It’s early doors but I wanted to see an upgrade on Wes, and don’t see it up to now.

 

[Toronto Blade]

What did Wilder expect playing Norwood and Osborn in midfield against Brighton. They just went straight trough them up the middle.0

 

[originaltrueblade]

Shocking he looks out of his depth

Biased

 

[Working Class Hero]

It's too early to judge the keeper, but in the department of actually diving close to shots, he looks to be struggling.

On today only he gives me no confidence that he's much better than wes

Wes will be sitting with a smerk on his face, just goes to show how bad the defence is

 

[PokerBlade]

Wtf do we constantly keep shooting ourselves in the foot, we're always switching off when we're defending, we've given this game to Brighton without the gifts this would have been close

If Brighton knock two in from outside of the box then we can talk about the closing down but it's fair play to them (especially the first goal). Instead, you're right, we give away to ridiculous penalties that didn't need to happen and we're out of the game again.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

We have no chance vs a team of divers and a ref who buys them

 

[originaltrueblade]

I’ve seen some cheats in my time but Brighton take the biscuit

 

[10p]

They might be be good at the dark arts (and I wish we were too), but as footballers they are much more skilful than us. It’s one-touch football again three-touch football.

 

[FinBlade]

Norwood, last 3 touches has been one time passes to defence and Hamer was the one being subbed

 

[The Hobott]

Norwood, last 3 touches has been one time passes to defence and Hamer was the one being subbed

Hamer is playing on Tuesday Norwood isn't

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Well at least we know why they’re called seagulls now..

Easy to play like that when u roll around screaming as soon as an oppo player tries to challenge you

 

[jono_t2000]

Norwood, last 3 touches has been one time passes to defence and Hamer was the one being subbed

i guess the positive is means Norwood not likely to get any minutes against Palace...

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Brighton gulfs ahead in class. Didn't want a cup run anyhow

 

[Toronto Blade]

Turn your Blade shirt in Norwood over the hill and down again0

 

[Bobby b]

Not one of Norwoods corners have looked in slightest bit dangerous

 

[Not so Slim ane]

If that was wes letting that go in there'd be people on here going nuts!

It's the type of shot wes would save ..... then let a daisy cutter in through his legs

 

[Stevo71]

Bogle worse player on the pitch

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Jesus, hope grbic is jetlagged cos that was fcking criminal

 

[Hull Blade]

2-5 oh well, concentrate on league survival.

New keeps out of action for the next few weeks....Back injury.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Wtf is the keeper doing with that.... surely he's on the bench and wes starts on Tuesday

 

[toledo]

Well that was a massacre!

 

[shrubbery]

Come back Wes, all is forgiven…

 

[Bobby b]

Apologise to Foderingham and ask him if he can forgive us and could he consider playing for us again

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

I'm not sure grbic is better then Davies, nevermind Fodders

 

[The Crab]

Embarrassing

 

[SUFCinks]

Jesus, hope grbic is jetlagged cos that was fcking criminal

It wasnt great, i think 2 of the goals wes would’ve dealt with.
