[espoo blade]

Especially if we merge.

We 'd surely just get a bye into the European Super League?

 

[Jan Age]

Ings hasn’t done anything of note since coming on… cannon fodder off the bench for me nothing more would look to move on in Jan along with cannon….

Bamford looks like a decent signing… and we know Campbell is good for 60 minutes …so two more decent strikers required

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Ings offside more than Lee gravelface Chapman

Ings could do himself a favour by not getting caught offside so much.

It’s a fine line but he always seems to be the wrong side of it.

2nd CLEAN SHEET in a week for Cooper

 

[XADE]

You just knew it didn’t you. Wilder now completely vindicated in the signing of the worst centre forward since Guthrie as he’s scored a lucky goal. Cannon to start and waste 55 minutes before he’s hooked after putting extra burden on the rest of the team. Expect more sub standard effort, lack of anticipation, mis Control, missed chances and hiding.

You ever thought about manning the phones at the Samaritans?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I think that's as near a perfect a script as we would want.

3 points. Clean sheet. First goals for Peck and Bamford. Minutes for both Bamford and Hamer. Campbell rested in a three game week. Out of relegation zone and a Sheffield double!

 

[BangorBlade]

Cooper and the back 4 are looking more settled and assured.
The MF has looked and performed
better with Riedewald supporting Peck,
COH is putting massive sifts in like a Duracell bunny.
Up top with the starting choice of Campbell, Cannon & Bamford.

COH starting to look Didzy-esque

 

[Geordie Blade]

The guy on Sky is commentating like the guy who added commentary on after the event on the "100 Years 100 Goals" and "Harry's Game" videos.

I always loved “Agana… will he chip him?” [Agana rolls it along the ground into the bottom corner] “HE DOES!!!”

Simon Clarke was terrible for the retrospective commentary on the 1991-1994 season videos. “Corner to United. Maybe Gannon will curl it inwards to the near post with possibly Beesley getting a flick on and then Deane nodding it in off the post. Maybe. Let’s see. Oh yes, and there it is.”

 

[Jan Age]

JT & Ings are the CB pairing

LB can be shared between Burrows and Mcallum

RB - needs sorting - Jan priority

CM - Riedwald does a job, Peck is decent … outside of that it’s a gamble - Jan priority

RW - Brooks is inconsistent - Jan Priority

LW - Hamer can play there, Burrows can

CAM - O’hare our best player

ST - Campbell can’t last more than 60 mins, Bamford offers something different , One a decent young one , Cannon & Ings need shipping out.
- Jan priority

So in Jan - RB, RW, CM, ST

I’d cash in on Hamer for whatever we could get and invest in a couple of decent items and loans

 

[Harrisblade]

Don’t care that peck scored there’s no way he should be taking a pen over cannon/ Bamford

Maybe Peck has been most accurate pen taker in training??

 

[SB_90]

how stupid do you have to be. to handball it, like luis suarez when your wearing a luminous hi vis away shirt

Eh

 

[Dave9777]

Great second 3-0 win of the week!

chat GPT thinks 17 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses would get us into top 6 & therefore playoffs from here.

Achievable ?

 

[riselikeasalmon]

3 games for an orthodox back 4 with square pegs in square holes and 3 clean sheets

Not the best opposition granted but we need some confidence and momentum and that’s a start

 

[Gavlar]

Great win, get in!

 

[Vinny Kept Us Up]

2nd CLEAN SHEET in a week for Cooper

Didn’t have to make a save to be fair

 

[Vinny Kept Us Up]

3 games for an orthodox back 4 with square pegs in square holes and 3 clean sheets

Not the best opposition granted but we need some confidence and momentum and that’s a start

And with two up top, creating chances. Who knew!

 

[bakeblade]

Ings could do himself a favour by not getting caught offside so much.

It’s a fine line but he always seems to be the wrong side of it.

He's been very lazy getting back on side

 

[derfblade.3]

Did someone on here say we are better without Gus in the team? Can someone name the village idiot please?

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Probably been said elsewhere but Callum O’Hare is my player of match for second game running and so far player of season. Last season I was a bit apathetic towards him but this season his performances have really stepped up. He’s an absolute menace to any opposition player who has the ball and whilst not everything comes off, his unpredictable style and constant ratting are a joy to watch

 

[SB_90]

i think that was probably best performance of the season. not seen us this dominant for the full 90 for long while. every player was decent & probably the best ive seen from cannon

play like that we will be more safe come may

 

[1973Blade]

A year today since we beat Oxford 3-0 , a good date for us!

 

[The Crab]

Well done Albert

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Just like that Oxford game, which is an obvious comparison, this should also have been at least 4-0

If not tonight then when?

3-0 is good though obviously

Wilder has randomly turned into a 3-0 guy - that's his 5th 3-0/3 goal victory in his last 15 games in charge

Bristol away
Bristol home
Blackburn away 3-1
Wednesday away
Portsmouth home

We now have a 1 in 3 chance of scoring 3. We are fantastic

 

[Snowflake]

A good showing ?

Looked good to me.

 

[Snowflake]

I don’t want to sound excessive but we are definitely winning the league

When ?
