[Addison]

Get RND off the pitch ffs!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

RND has cost us again with that VERY POOR CLEARENNCE.

 

[drblade]

It’s not Binden who’s out of his depth, it’s Selles

 

[Thrice]

This is turning into an absolute horror show.

Need two new CBs at least before next game.

 

[Gordon Freeman]

The good thing is, we know what we need to sort!

Aye. New first team.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Jesus Christ

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Prepare excuses..... can't wait.....

Wilder aaahhttt

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

We need 4 defenders who can defend without any support unless we stick a CDM on.

 

[gooseh]

Jesus.

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

Decent knock from RND

 

[Chilttheblade]

What’s the point of pre season?

 

[Dutch Blade]

Get RND off the pitch ffs!

What was he thinking... Even if that pass arrived it was a poor choice...

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Why the fuck is he not playing Soumare? 9 million obligation to buy but can't get in the team when we have zero competent defensive players. Useless

 

[Darren William]

The good thing is, we know what we need to sort!

Should have been addressed! Surely

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Aye. New first team.

But not if they score more than us...

Like that's gonna happen unless we got the wrong manager

 

[redandwhitewizard]

Absolute suicide football.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Fuck off

 

[FriethBlade]

Sell your CDM and only decent central defender and conceded goals...who'd have thought it eh?

 

[b1ade4life]

Sick of the season already, owners dropped a massive bollock binning Wilder imo

 

[toledo]

I am totally speechless and it’s only the 1st game of the season…..

 

[paidsy]

As much fun as that first half hour was you just can’t play football like this.

 

[mikeheath]

I know we’re losing but I really enjoyed that half

Are you enjoying it now?

Think this is down to the yanks and Bettis

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Should have been addressed! Surely

No that's what other teams do. Our manager is too busy getting his tattoos done

 

[drblade]

Sure this will make Coops and Hamer want to stay.

 

[Bobby b]

I knew we were a little light in defence but christ in a bike, this defence should never see the light of day again. I know its the first game of the season, and normally you can't draw conclusions but in this instance you absolutely can draw effing conclusions

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Again - how many people wanted defensive defensive Wilder out?

Kevin Keegan Sellés ball isn't for me so far, I'd rather just win 1-0 and boring games.

Glad I'm only getting updated on my phone, not watching it.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Maybe give it a bit longer

Not even 60 minutes in and I'm getting distinct Slav/Weir vibes.

Is that any better?

 

[jalfie69]

The manager, owners and the system to take us forward. Bet wilder & the prince are pissing themselves

 

[Not Titanium Blade]

Well we knew before the game we needed 2 new centre backs, if we've learned one thing it's that we might need 3 because Binden looks absolute gash!

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

I knew we were a little light in defence but christ in a bike, this defence should never see the light of day again. I know its the first game of the season, and normally you can't draw conclusions but in this instance you absolutely can draw effing conclusions

We have no first tesm Centre half...you are fucked without that
