What an absolute bag of wank - Dead Wood FC

[Blackheath Blade]

The last game I saw us play was against Bradford at the end of August.

God knows we were poor that day but FFS, I couldn't believe what I was seeing today in respect of how far worse we have become in six weeks. Lets not kid ourselves that the last twenty five minutes offers any hope for the rest of this season because that was merely papering over the cracks of a team and club that at present, is a complete and utter shambles.
I used to get the fuckin slipper at school if I defended like that during a game and Leon Clarke will not score an easier couple of goals this season.
First goal: Three or four defenders all looking at one another, drawing names out of a hat as to who attacks the cross into the box.
Third goal: Maguire caught out of position and a familiar parting of the Red Sea to allow Clarke to stroll through the defence and tidily score under no pressure whatsoever. Clarke may be an ex-pig but at least he knows where the goal is and how to finish.
For me, the following dead wood should fuck off and never pull on a United shirt again: Westlake, Collins, Maguire, Captain Fantastic Micky Doyle, Flynn. In fact no, get rid of the fuckin lot, an absolute waste of space and salaries the lot of em.
Thoughts and huge praise to those who travelled to Northampton to see that shower of shit, they deserve so much more.

It was a master class of how , if you strip players of their self belief what you end up with

they had no confidence , plain and simple, it had drained totally under Weirs , let not attack and upset the opposition seminars , his new idea was to get 35 0-0 draws and hope 40 points would be enough, he was clueless

You will concede goals more if you dont attack , if you dont push the opposition back, they cant score if we are in their half , this idea must have been the week in the coaching badge when Weir was off sick with the flu

 

[judge]

The fitness levels are atrocious ,macguire needs to lose at least a stone and the rest of the team look slow and lethargic its not confidence tyey dont look fit enough to play professional football

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I know Harry has been overweight for a long time, it makes you wonder what type of life they are leading, these players.

 

[judge]

Heard a lot of storys about his heavy drinking and just dismissed them but watching today I wondered

well he was in the viper rooms last saturday night if thats any kind of clue

 

[BladeFisher]

Well at least he didn't attack any Wednesday fans whilst he was there.

 

[yuley82]

Wether weir was wrong or not the players are fucking piss poor me n my mates are blades through n through but couldn't help but laugh how piss poor we are and were.. Harry n Collins are the two worst centre backs I've seen for a long time an if I was Harry's age now I would have loved playing against him cos I would have left him for dead and Collins for that matter.... From the age of 10 right through to 23 I was consistently sheffield's top scorer all be it Sunday league but my god I would have mullered them two!!

 

[yuley82]

I laugh like a drain when I see this. Sunday league U10's top scorer could muller a pro. Now I am not going to defend them as great but they would have you and your pals in their pocket. That's why they are playing in the big league and you were great in the GT Sports leagues.

Fitness brings confidence.I would send the team over the Breacon Beacons and whoever makes it can have a game

Sorry but this has nothing to do with confidence, belief or anything else. Its not about formations or styles of play. If you buy shit then you get shit. That's what we have and while Wilson was making the most of a shit hand we can now see truly how shit it really is.

I would imagine a lot of the younger players were there. It was Diego's 18th birthday do. It was on his twitter account.

Happy Birthday Diego, get back soon.

Haha, I too am laughing.

Harry Maguire capped at England U21 level and you'd have mullered him because you're quick yuley82? I bet I could beat Zidane over 100m, but I'm fairly sure he'd have the upper hand in our duel and I scored a hattrick past Bruce Dyer's 5-a-side team once you know

I don't know why more managers don't do that.

"This is what we're doing today lads, you're all footballers, you should be fit enough to do this no problem. Anyone who wants to play for us should be in the first 11 over that hill. Anyone who doesn't want to play for us, let me know now and you can sit in the reserves until York City and Nuneaton Borough come knocking in January. You can choose."

Truly, it would separate those who are just drawing a pay cheque and those who want to be footballers.

lahdidah.... he was in there

Apologies we was downstairs I totally forgot there's the upstairs part to it as well..

no probs yuley

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Saw the game on the telly yesterday , and was shocked at how easy our defence was to get through , it was like the relegation form of a couple of years ago , was willing to give Flynn the benefit of the doubt , after yesterday no more , fecked up a square ball in the box first half other than that did bugger all , westlake and hill were all over the shop , there man was'nt marked they drifted out of position leaving spaces down the flanks , both perked up 2nd half , but both too eratic , ''popeye '' Doyle , thought a captain was supposed to lead by example , well the example you give is shite , King had my say , not going to say owt else , they only perked up after we went 3-0 down , thats when the Blades fans really put on a strong showing maybe it shamed them into playing for the shirt , thought the 3 subs did well 2 midfielders allowed coady to roam ,should have scored with his header but at least he tried , also let's be realistic , coventry should have been at least 5 up before we scored ours , a lot of work to do for the new guy who ever it is . { uncle col & blackwell } dream team ? .

 

[BerksBlade]

Agree on the fitness levels. Not sure what Adam Owen has been doing all season but it's not working?
Defending was appalling - Clarke and Wilson won't have an easier ride all season. We nearly gifted them 2-3 more by not clearing the ball or getting caught in possession.
There is some talent there to work with. Coady has captained England U20s so he must have something? Baxter did well at this level lest season. King is a proven goalscorer.
I think the starting point is to find someone with pace & power to anchor the midfield. Someone like Olofinjana (but a bit younger) to break up attacks before they get to our back four.

 

[billyblademan]

Poor fitness could be seen conclusively against Wolves - we practically lay down in the second half and let them trample all over us.

Even against Preston, first half we were in with a decent shout, and started OK, but second half faded awfully.

 

[mida]

Dave Bassett used to take the squad to some army training centre pre-season - we never lacked for fitness under Harry and it's crazy not have players in peak condition (even if they are bag-o-shite footballers like ours).

 

[billyblademan]

First thing I'd look to do as new manager is an 'away day', like Neil did to Scarborough....something of similar ilk to represent a fresh start, and try and bring 'em together.

 

[true99blade]

I don't think having Collins by his side helps Maguire whatsoever anymore. Collins, Doyle, Flynn, Westlake and Hill should all be shown the door. I felt that King's free-kick explains why he should be dropped, Taylor did okay when he came on and so did McGinn. The two of them should without a doubt be given a start next Satdi.

 

[BladeFisher]

Well it wasn't long ago everyone was crucifying Taylor along with Murphy.

Perhaps getting rid of Weir might have had something to do with it.

strange , because it was 3 newbies that turned us round second half

Turned it around in so much as we still lost. What a turnaround eh.

McGinn perked up the team yesterday and he was the only one apart from Hall who was delivering any quality balls in to the box.

Flynn certainly needs to go he is far too lightweight to do anything.

only because we missed some sitters , again we had 10 attempts in 30 minutes after having 10 the rest of the season , yes we lost , , but , if you didnt notice the change in attitude and commitment then Ferguson would struggle to satisfy you
