After 1 defeat in 10?

its the well known phrase in football, "there's no such thing as overachievement"

we've got alot of loans, frees & small fees. went 2 months without conceding a goal. completely changed the culture of the club from last year. hugely different to slav the last time we're relegated. but we lose 1 game v the best team in the league away from home with vastly bigger budget than us. & everyone loses their minds

 

[sheff_blade90]

i think its a good team. we have got 5 games in 18 days. we might not like it, need long term view & rotation is enivitable. as we cant play our best players every week

 

[Harry's Game]

Are Brooks and JRS legally prevented from being on the pitch at the same time?

Not all concussion symptoms are the same.

Some athletes pass the immediate concussion tests but then feel the effects a few days later.

I have that on a Friday night. Struggle to go out on Satdi but come Sunday, I tend to get all fuzzy headed and want to sleep

 

[Keen Blade]

I would put Brooks on LW not O'Hare

A handful maybe lost their minds, similar to your own exaggeration. Most comments were initially about the selection, the tactics during the game and then his comments afterwards. All reasonable points put, generally in a reasonable way.

Two wingers on the pitch at the same time? What is this witchcraft of which you speak?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Not a bad line up but OHare should be nowhere near the 11

I don't understand why Brooks doesn't start more because he's also a good defensive contributor out wide

Why are people questioning Hamers availability? Wilder has said he's fit, unless of course he's lying, which I don't believe .

Lies is a bit strong, misdirection definitely. I’ve seen one example in the past when it was exactly that

2-0 Borough

This can cause a chain reaction, which may lead to total protonic reversal (or destruction at the cellular level). Playing both is like Russian roulette, protonic reversal may never happen. But it might.

 

[Boxer Blade]

I'm guessing OHare will be more central(no 10) and Brewster out wide, I reckon that's Ohares favoured position so I'm expecting more from him if, that's how we line up.

It's not he loss that is the issue it's the surrender and the possible psychological effect on the group

Touché

 

[JJBlade]

Yes, we might have to attack teams that Wilder is shit scared of

Not feeling too secure about my usual feed at the moment. Any body else got the same issue?

Have you considered SUTV Live? £180.

Not usually needed...

 

[Flumps]

More the sort of line up I wanted.

I'm not however if the weird picture of Anel. It looks like a picture in memoriam that you'd see at a funeral of the person who's being seen off to the afterlife

All good now - had forgotten it was an 8pm (3pm for me) and not 7.45Pm.... Panic over

try again

 

[Thrice]

O'Hare looks so timid. Completely lacks conviction.

 

[S64 Blade]

To use the old cliche, I think Brooks must have shagged Wilder’s wife, or something.

 

[Jan Age]

Slow and ponderous so far….

Near and tidy in safe areas but no attacking threat again

Only 10 mins in so plenty of time to change

 

[Jan Age]

And I’m not being funny but O’Hare needs some bench time

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Brewster on the left keep him there Sir Chris

Hamer in the middle please

 

[Sheffsteel]

20 minutes into the game.

Not much happened but we look slightly the better team and team more likely to score.

Early comments:
Boro's only threat tactic is that they are pressing us high up the pitch but fortunately our defenders have constantly played themselves out of trouble.
Brewster went on a great run down the left, some great dribbling and pace shown, should boost his confidence.
We look calm and composed on the ball with some decent one touch passing.....much much better than the Leeds match.
We've had most of the attacks but they've managed to clear it just as we look like having a great chance to score.
