[LS5 Blade]

Take your pick for mistakes for that goal.

No excuses at all. The ball shouldn't have even been in our half never mind back of the net.

 

[FriethBlade]

We've actually played well. We've been the better team but 2 complete fuck ups have cost us

Now make that 3 complete fuck ups, what was Peck doing then Anel got skinned far too easily

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Moaners got a hard on again now...

From basic mistakes

 

[utd4ever]

lol. We are so average. Apart from Hamer this team has nothing in regards to quality

 

[Iceybabey]

Poor by Peck and Anel.

 

[Pandev]

We don’t have a player who could score a goal like that. Pace and power driven past Anel then smashed it in

 

[Jan Age]

How much money do the new owner have because we need to ‘bring a couple in’

By a couple I assume you mean at least 6

 

[Pandev]

Peck shouldn’t be in the team. Good young player not 100% ready yet.

 

[paidsy]

By a couple I assume you mean at least 6

Well our holy leader has repeatedly said he doesn't want to disrupt the squad so he only wants a couple...

 

[Greenwich Blade]

We don’t have a player who could score a goal like that. Pace and power driven past Anel then smashed it in

Yeah, a bit like the Davies goal against Sunderland at the Lane.

 

[utd4ever]

By a couple I assume you mean at least 6

And don’t trust Wilder to build a team.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

I’ve never known a team over the years make as many elementary and avoidable mistakes as we do. To say it’s piss boiling would be an understatement. Is it a lack of concentration or just a basic shit for brains problem?

 

[LS5 Blade]

This defending is fooking woeful. It's like a flashback to last seasons centre halves performances!

 

[Jan Age]

Well our holy leader has repeatedly said he doesn't want to disrupt the squad so he only wants a couple...

He can bollocks if he thinks two is enough here

 

[utd4ever]

Look at how play. Sideways and backwards then a punt up to no one.

 

[FriethBlade]

Do any of our defenders fancy marking their strikers ?

 

[moody1889]

So predictable and predictable from Wilder too knew Brooks wouldn't start nothing ever changes with Chris Wilder that when it comes to big games we resort to fielding a team full of defensive minded players.

It is so frustrating, we aren't expected to win so why not have a go we knew they were gonna try and come at us and kill us with pace and that is exactly how it is panning out.

 

[Dieforthreepoints]

Peck shouldn’t be in the team. Good young player not 100% ready yet.

I don't necessarily think that's fair, he's put in some great performances this season for us

 

[Jan Age]

And don’t trust Wilder to build a team.

Good point

 

[HeySethUTB]

Once again so simple, a ball into a striker they run and in, we’ve won the ball in similar positions tonight and played backwards, we have nothing to stretch games. Far too slow. Sunderland have been wank, played far better at Bramall lane.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Architects of our own downfall again centre backs oh dear still in it though

 

[JJ Sefton]

This is gash.

 

[Jan Age]

Wilder showing himself up here… clearly needs a shuffle but not making any changes

 

[Greenwich Blade]

And don’t trust Wilder to build a team.

Yeah, because he's never done it before. Not sure why some of you on here bother to watch United.

 

[Thrice]

Hope to see Burrows in the 2nd half. McCallum is doing ok, but Burrows offers so much more, especially in attack.

 

[paidsy]

Again, what has Wilder shown in the past 12 months to indicate he's grown as a manager in any way? Essentially continue to surrender the bigger games.

 

[Pandev]

I don't necessarily think that's fair, he's put in some great performances this season for us

He has played well in games but we are relying on him week in week out. He should be filling in when needed at this stage in his career.

 

[utd4ever]

Yeah, because he's never done it before. Not sure why some of you on here bother to watch United.

His teams have mainly been about grit and determination. Once that determination dies off the teams end up shite.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Yeah, because he's never done it before. Not sure why some of you on here bother to watch United.

Some reyt melts pal

 

[Pandev]

Yeah, a bit like the Davies goal against Sunderland at the Lane.

Completely different type of goal. Davies dribbled through and slid it in. That goal for Sunderland he had pace and power to beat Anel.
