[Jan Age]

The constant making 10 passes in our own half to change flanks, just to play an aimless ball and lose possession is getting pretty boring to watch

That’s how it was under the final year with wilder

[SUFCinks]

Not sure what our style of play is so far this season.

We’re treating swansea like they are man city or arsenal FFS. Also struggling with very basic passing at times. Whilst swansea are nothing special there are parts of their game we could learn from. Ball retention and pass and move.

Need an improved 2nd half. A crap opening 25/30 before finally settling into averageness.

 

[petcharlie]

They say a good team wins even when playing crap ,So we should win the league

 

[Bell4]

We were always going to have a shite performance so if we can get it out of the way and win in the process then that's fine with me

Why were we ?

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Better start to the second half from Brooks

 

[Thrice]

Better start to the second half from Brooks

Needs to capitalize here though. Three great chances.

 

[Barnette]

Such poor quality finishing unfortunately.

 

[Tom Bott]

You should not be embarrassed, the players however...

Top of the league though.


If you ignore the two point deduction.

 

[Sheffsteel]

On 55 minutes the crowd stood up to give Jonny Gascoigne a minutes applause. Every single person in the stadium stood up. Maybe it stirred something amongst the players and fans because since then the crowd have come alive and the team have come alive.

We’ve now had several attacks and look well up for it.

Young Brooks missed a 1 on 1 with the keeper that was easier than a penalty, goalie pulled off a great save. Campbell hit the underside of the cross bar on the rebound. Brooks just had another great chance and again the keeper pulls off a great side.

We should be winning 2 or 3 nil and now look a promotion chasing team.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Better start to the second half from Brooks

And Wilder takes him off ffs

 

[Barnette]

Words that spring to mind watching us tonight are sloppy and slow

 

[BladeinCottingham]

Top of the league though.


If you ignore the two point deduction.

Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good moan……..

 

[Dave9777]

Nooooo hahaha Moore

 

[Tom Bott]

Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good moan……..

Wilder out.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Decent run by Moore, we're unlucky not to score this half

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Got 1-1 written all over this, hope I'm wrong

 

[Sheffsteel]

Wow what a stage game.

1st half we were crap and so incredibly lucky to the leading 1-0.

2nd half we’ve played really well creating loads of chances and been so unlucky as we should now be 4-0 up.

Moore was clean through with just the keeper to beat and he blasts it past the keeper, hits the inside of the post and bounces away to safety.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Unbelievable how we haven't got a second! Much better second half so far

 

[Dimyan93]

Too many missed chances here, 1-1 equaliser incoming

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I figured out the problem....the greasy chip butter song was played at the coin toss and not kick off.

Like a gallon of Lurpak!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Like a gallon of Lurpak!

Damn autocorrect

 

[Sheffsteel]

Superb piece of skill from Brewster and he blasts it at goal and it just….goes past the post with their keeper looking well beaten.

Unlucky that….

Much better 2nd half from the Blades.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Lovely stuff from Brewster, chance to put Rak Sakyi clean in on goal ... Sod that I'm blasting it 6ft wide

 

[Tom Bott]

Like a gallon of Lurpak!

I can't believe it's not maggots.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I can't believe it's not maggots.

Do not open that tin of maggots.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[NateDogg]

Is O'Hare limping?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Not deserved but thanks to Swansea for scoring for us.
