LOL...don't have to be the best of lip-readers to get the gist of what Wilder shouted after that dive!

 

[espoo blade]

Pretty solid so far. If only Brooksy and Bamford had right feet!

 

[SharpAsAblade]

Brooksy looking dangerous every attack so far

 

[SLB]

Brooksy looking dangerous every attack so far

Soumare looks class too.

 

[PaulPeschBlade]

We really need to be signing soumare before he actually shows everyone how good he really is


Sell peck to Brentford for 15/20 and buy soumare for 5/6

 

[espoo blade]

TANGANGAAAAAA!!!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

GOAL for BLADES

 

[gooseh]

Boom

NEW YEAR?
Same old brain dead Wilder.
Please please please keep him away from all transfers
And that imbecile Bettis!

Reasons to sack Wilder this team
1. The shite Tanganga captain - Titanic like. 60 minutes coasting at Stoke till his F up costs the goal!
(After ref error)
2. Bindon played out of position than God forbid the left footed centre back he has discarded already
3. Two mediocre centre backs with wing backs.
4. 3 left footed midfield payers but the bloke ignoring the left side but nominally paying there is a light weight slow no 10 who could not tackle a rice pudding.
5. Brooks potentially our MVP played disabled and wasted on the right WRONG wing.
6. Millions wasted on Cannon
7. Shirt/place wasted on Cannon
8. 3 players allowed to attack most - OHare Bamford Cannon must be amongst the very slowest in professional football played in England today.
9. Chuckle brothers tactics employed every game we got two goals up
What will the opposition score if we do go front this time?
2 as last time, 4 as Wrexham, 3 as Preston or luckily last time out against an appalling Stoke just the one gifted by a clown defender but 'thought' to be Captain material.

All assuming he has learnt nothing the past three seasons and there is no sign of that happening.

F off Wilder and COH if they cannot do better than this shite.

Tanganga scores, and you're a cnut

 

[SB_90]

nothing short of what we've deserved this 1st half been complete domination.

also struggling to work out what Leicester plan is aside from hoof it to 39 & hope for the best

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Someone let me know how many cereal box tokens Luke Thomas collected to get a professional football contract. I'll then get our kid to buy some

[BangorBlade]

Dominated the 1st half, Soumare has been outstanding, Cannon has put himself around and the pressing has been top.

 

[Iceybabey]

Good half but we can be better. They look clueless atm but could turn it on at any moment. We just need to keep the same pressure 2nd half.

Wonder what's miffed Wilder n all. Seemed to have a good go at James before he took a throw-in?

Felt a bit (not much tbh) sorry for him on the corner because Tanganga was supposed to be marked by James, but he ended up getting a free run and jump with only Thomas to block him from a standing start Terrible marking from James!

Wilder looked to be in decent spirits and having a laugh?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Well on top for most the half. Really good stuff.

Only downside is the goal didn't come from open play but our threat from corners is a very good thing!

 

[Blacksea]

Almost a perfect half,we pressed well,won loads of second balls,moved the ball around well, have been patient and retained possession,got the deserved lead.One big mistake was the Soumare needless giveaway to let them break on us and concede the corner, thankfully it didn't cost us like at Wrexham.

 

[BritishSteel]

The "McCallum" jumping for headers technique needs to have a government grant assigned to it and be studied.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[bonobo]

Thought it was a really good and controlled performance, some of our best play in possession...just held back by a lack of quality with a final ball ( smg we are short on wit Hamer out of sorts). But obviously not feeling as secure with a one goal lead as we were last season.

 

[Blade3]

Absolutely brilliant half of football. Shame the atmosphere is wank as usual…

We seem to be a constant threat from corners, with a few new routines popping up. Would've liked to have seen a replay of the one where McCallum rolled it to O'Hare who layed it square to Cannon(?) coming round from the back post area to the edge of the box. Not sure how close it was to squeezing through.

EDIT: just rewound the stream and it looks like the keeper was right behind the defender who blocked it anyway. Nice variation though.

 

[JayGreen17]

Hopefully we can continue this second ha;f and not collapse, we deffo need another goal, as the longer it goes on we’ll feel under pressure without the, even doing anything. That said bench looks good.

 

[toledo]

Good and solid rather than spectcacular but so far very good.

Please don't come out and do the normal 15 minute capitulation, this game is ours to win...

toledo

 

[Addison]

Good first half Soumare Brooks and Seriki all doing well. Pressure on coaching staff now to manage the second half better than last time we played them. If Leicester manager has any sense he'll bring Ayew on now. We have to stop conceding in the first 15 of the second half.

 

[BangorBlade]

BOOM!!!!! gtf in

 

[espoo blade]

Boom CANNON!
