Whilst this is bad, probably an understatement, surely square peg round holes has a simple solution staring us in the face. RND off Diaz on (surely he can last a half) and Hamer to centre mid. I'm not sure why there's such reluctance to play him there. Only a matter of time until 2-0 if we keep on with this

RND looks way off it too and on a yellow - you shouldn't have to go down to get a pen.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

End up 3-0 this. Absolutely disgraceful

 

[Sheffsteel]

That was a bit lucky.

Several nudges from RND on their player running in the box towards goal.

If their player had gone down, the ref would have probably given a penalty and 2nd yellow card, meaning we’d be down to 10 men.
Fortunately their player stayed on his feet trying to score.

Would have been soft but you see it so often, a player running at speed receives a clear but gentle nudge and they go down to win a penalty.

 

[gooseh]

What is going on?! It's like watching an Arsenal game currently. United are meant to be my relief

 

[RWE]

Got to change it before half time. RND looks miles off it and Burrows is wasted in midfield

 

[The Darton Blade]

Total embarrassment, Wilder to blame with this team selection

 

[toledo]

Wow, cannot believe how bad we are tonight …

 

[ATL Recs]

Now that was a

How do you know? He’s never had an opportunity to play with the first team

just watch him in men’s football he’s not championship level … yet needs

 

[YES Blade]

RND has to be taken off immediately, what can’t Wilder see it? Burrows to LB and Diaz on LW not difficult

For some reason manager never seem to want to make a change in the first half

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Worst half all season this

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Our defending tonight has been absolutely abysmal.

 

[drblade]

Vini cannot come back soon enough

 

[DroitwichBlade]

Swansea 61% possession and 5 shots on target.
If he doesn’t change things at half time, might as well pack up now.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Lucky again….Burrows makes an error losing the ball in midfield.
We have a chance to clear a cross, mess it up and their player has a clear shot, central just outside the box.
Fortunately he fires just outside the post.

Think they play rugby on that pitch…it’s in a bit of a state….with the ball bobbling making it harder to control.

 

[LS5 Blade]

Would love to know what was seen IN RND against Cardiff that got the process moving to let him near the 1st team again?

 

[paidsy]

Swansea 61% possession and 5 shots on target.
If he doesn’t change things at half time, might as well pack up now.

Shouldn't have been waiting till HT

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

This has been turgid it could be 3-0. Got to make 2 changes pronto

 

[kingy1889]

This is absolutely dreadful. Come on blades. Jeeeeeezus

 

[Stevo71]

This is utter dogshit, wilder has to change it around and quick, we're getting mullered here.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I don't know what else Wilder was expecting with this team selection

Weakened in too many places, more than necessary

RND shouldn't start unless as an absolute last resort. He was all about athleticism and it's gone

 

[blades78]

Best crosser of the ball in centre midfield, best midfielder on left wing. I'm struggling to see why you'd do that.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Rnd is league one. Burrows is never cm. Get it fucking changed or we get hammered

 

[Tom Bott]

Why is Burrows in the middle and Hamer wide left!

Are Vini, Blaster and Tom Davies injured maybe ?

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Feel like we always have one of these performances in us. Wish Wilder would actually be proactive and make changes before it’s too late but as if he’d do that

 

[paidsy]

I am sick to death of these games where Wilder fecks around for no good reason and we put in something like this.

 

[Paul1963]

Are Vini, Blaster and Tom Davies injured maybe ?

Hamer central like he was on Saturday

 

[The Darton Blade]

Wilder is arrogant and stubborn, refuses to acknowledge made a howler or team selection and positions and as a result won't change it till it's too late

 

[WestYorksBlade]

I am sick to death of these games where Wilder fecks around for no good reason and we put in something like this.

I like to think he knows what he’s doing, then he fields a team like this and we’re meant to be shocked when we play like shit

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Worst bit for me is the sky commentator sounds like swiss tony

 

[Hollinsend]

Hamer gets a card digging RND out of a hole. Jeez, hook him.
