If anyone chants that.....I'm OUT! UTB

Nice one. Why don't we do this?

Nice one. Why don't we do this?

I asked the club not so long back and was told we don’t have the means available. Sounded like they just couldn’t be arsed tbh

Kayne Diedrick-Roberts seems to be a former Man Utd striker who was released in the summer. Simeon Oure is a young player from France I think.

Doherty and Mallon could be playing in defence if we're playing 3-5-2. They have usually been playing further forward.

Swap Norrington-Davies and Mallon, the rest seems to be correct.

I used to go to a few Steelers games - my ex girlfriend was a fan! The atmosphere is good but very different to football and I never adjusted to be honest! We talk about wanting families back in football and I agree with that, but in British Ice Hockey the atmosphere was just to wet!

Who scored mate?

 

[Fulwood Blade]

We should refuse to play - it's not a desso

UTB

 

[Bergen Blade]

Who scored mate?

Hallam, from Tyler Smith's low cross.

 

[Lazerblade]

Call me a Luddite if you like but why do you have to have two-faced book to view anything decent these days aaaaargh!

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

0-2

 

[Bergen Blade]

2-0, quick free kick to Hallam, ball in behind and finished well by Smith.

 

[Wards]

For anyone interested Smith and Hallam playing well, Ched also showing some nice touches - looks a touch sharper to me than he has done.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Very comfortable 2-0. No threat from them, and Blades cruising it. Ched looks to me like he's giving himself till about mid to end-March to get himself fully firing. If he's fully firing by then I'll be happy and I suspect Wilder will be too.

 

[Wards]

Best moment so far was some chavvy scrote squaring up to Sam Graham then shitting his pants when he realised who it was.

Graham has looked impressive when I’ve seen him it has to be said.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Just had a cracking goal ruled out for offside

 

[sheffielder]

Sometimes you forget what an amazing leap Evans has.

 

[Eskimo]

Enjoyed that. Always nice to see United win

 

[Bergen Blade]

I asked the club not so long back and was told we don’t have the means available. Sounded like they just couldn’t be arsed tbh

I got the same type of answer.

That’s twice I’ve seen Jordan Doherty play in a back 3 and I have to say he looks a much better player than when he plays further forward, at least he tries to play into the midfielders and not just play a percentage ball aimlessly forward

 

[TJB.]

Anyone know why Sam Graham is still playing for the u23's when he's 118 years old?

We're struggling a bit with bodies for the back three. I've got it as Semple, Ferguson, Cantrill injured. I have no idea where Ben Heneghan has disappeared to. He captained the U23s earlier in the season. It's opinions ain't it. But, I prefer Doherty as attacking midfielder. But, I'll go with you. He's looked (surprisingly) comfortable & versatile in a back three.
I cover that, Trialist report, Ched Watch, Jake Wright's first challenge, blood injuries, piss poor Monday opening hours (again) & a match report of sorts in my Blog post from last night. For the chronically interested...

Great report. The trialist right wing back looked to have some pace and I thought he had a reasonable first half. I was hoping he'd settle down and improve more as the game went on, but he was worse second half. It's a new position for him and it's not easy coming into a game without knowing any of your teammates. With Freeman and Bennett out it would make sense to bring in a short term (or future) signing in this position, but not sure he's the answer. Portman looked quick, but also raw, when he came on.

I like the midfield trio of Slater, Gilmour and Hallam. They are a bit similar to Fleck, Coutts and Duffy respectively in terms of style and build. Hallam's corner kicks are excellent, whipped in with pace and dipping dangerously. Looks like he can shoot and score from that position. He has quiet spells, but there always seems to be an end product with him, often involved when we create chances. Time for a L2 loan, maybe? I thought Norrington-Davies again showed his great potential, despite being out of position, and Slater was also good.
