Rotten to the core

[54yrblade]

Yes, all that boasting from the derby last season looks a bit silly now.
We could very well see Wilder’s reign ending with us back in League 1, no higher than Wednesday, with no new training ground or new academy facilities, no significant major ground improvements, a poor squad, and having run out of money.

That rant after us beating S6 was embarrassing, classless, unnecessary and always had the potential to bite him and us on the backside, particularly as they were in the mess they were at the time, and still are.

To be fair, he was right. Being the top team in the city is cyclical, but it appears that our cycle has had both wheels fall off, the seat collapse, the gears drop out and all because it wasn't properly cared for.

Too much noise, too many clichés and insufficient substance since Christmas 2020.

Teams playing the exact same as last season. Only difference is last season we had the luck and the results could’ve all easily been what they are at the moment. We’ve just gone back to reality tbh

Agree fine margins but last season we had more individual flare and a bloody midfield good enough to play one striker

Come on Port Vale away ! Bring it on

I was in Burslem on Wednesday, I’d rather not return quite so soon if that’s ok…

Its coming

Agree mate watched them in Div 4 and we’ve had some of our best years recently. We are not a big club as many think we are, we are not seen as attractive club to finance guys. In saying that we do well.
We’re going through the transition that was expected last season, I still think we won’t get relegated. But some big decisions need to be made on a way forward for our team.
Just as a side note, many of those saying that’s it, will be back oncethe frustration has worn off. Once a blade always a blade

Fucking hell! What are we then a fucking Salford city ffs!

 

[brownblade]

Can’t stand this team

The money they’re on and they can’t be arsed because they’re feeling a bit sorry for themselves

They should really feel sorry for the hardworking fans who travel up and down the country to give them their backing, only for them to not give two shits on the pitch

Absolute disgrace the lot of them

Thought we were decent again and I didn't see players shirking it.

Obviously, we're not Salford City but he's got a valid point.

We are the top performing team from THE home of football. Two recent spells in the PL, although we stank it out and embarrassed ourselves, might suggest there's at least something there to build on.

The question is, why has no serious investor decided to bankroll us like other clubs have had.

Our natural position is in this league. Maybe bounce up to the PL every few years, but we haven't been able to make the best of the circa 300 million quid that has come our away from those visits to the top table. This team doesn't represent what we know we can be and I'm not sure how that get's fixed enough to keep us up.

We're overdue a drop though. Have we taken our eye off the ball and not planned forward enough?

It's awful, and no amount of sugar coating it will help.

I got my first ever speeding ticket driving out of Burslem very late one night. With hindsight, my desire to get out of the shithole should have been an extenuating circumstance.

Think about how sweet it will be in 2031 when Billy Sharp leads us back to the Championship.

 

[Deadbat]

10 years since it all started and we are going back to where it started. We’ve had 4 good seasons in that time and all we’ve got to show for the promotions is a section of safe standing, a plot of land we can’t afford to do anything with and a new set of owners who haven’t got a fucking clue.

You forgot the fan zone

I get up every week at 2-4am to sit on my own in an uninsulated ice box

They need to play a couple of behind closed doors matches to try and sort them out and hire an attacking coach.

 

[Bladesman]

Lets put it this way, today I have come away from the game feeling like we were unlucky that we didn't get something from the match. Compare that to earlier in the season feeling like we were never going to get something from a match.

Is it too late 10 games in? not sure but the performances at least in the last 2 games are much better than anything we saw under Selles and today at least the other in game stats back it up.

Had Hull turned us over 3-0 without us getting out of our half then I'd be saying differently.

Absolute shambles.
Wank team. Wank manager.

Hearts of peas.

Relegation is nailed on unless a big turn around happens.

Oh no.

I'm done with this club now. That's it for me, after 40 years. The club is cursed. It is rotten to the core. I really don't want to have anything to do with anything that stinks so putrid. Nothing about the club stirs anything positive inside me anymore. I'm done. Fuck it.

Definitely one of your worst post match interviews that Chris, head up son.

 

[Blade In Flame]

To quote you from a previous post…

“See ya then. Don't slam the turnstile on the way out”

Yep. "Don't put that last straw on, there's enough on already. No, don't seriously.... don't... OOOOOFFFF! MY BACK!" Said the camel.

The Blameometer shifts from week to week .

At 1st Selles ,then replaced by a combination of COH ( the owners not little callum) , Players , Wilder .

Whoever got us here the only solution rather than blame lies with Wilder , the other two were stuck with .

Im not suggesting if Wilder doesn't get it right its not in difficult circumstances but that's what management is .

The blame game won't get us anywhere, just get to work and forget reputations , fees , favourites etc and get to work .

This squad are good enough to compete and win more than they lose.

Time to step up , be accountable and ruthless if required .

 

[Ace of Blades]

Yes, but he's normally on the bench, unlike Burrows whos been a starting player since arriving..

That's why Burrows head wasn't right, he's not normally benched..

Will you want him taking the next one then?

No. I’d have preferred Ings personally.
