14/02/09 - Hull City Match Thread

[TonyAgana]

You know the cup is often a time to give the youngsters or fringe players a run out? Well, can we maybe let Ron Reid or someone have a bash at managing?

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Come on Blades!

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Goal! Wohooooooooo!

 

[Lincoln Blade]

Not the only who didnt make it to the game then

Nope. Had to be last weekend or this one, couldn't afford both. Chose the wrong one it seems!

You do know that commentary is available from the Radio Sheffield website? For once I'm getting to listen to it.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Oh well! Didn't think we'd keep a clean sheet once Morgan went off.

 

[MAQ]

the commentary sounds like they are playing well

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Yep. Time for a winner, come on Blades!

 

[Sensiblade]

Played well today.
Good game from most.
Cott's had his best gae of the season and it will hopefully spur him on to do better.
We need a Centre back in on loan asap if Morgans injury is as bad as it looked

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

What happened to Morgan?

What happened to Morgan?

Looks like knee ligaments

Not good.

Am I right in thinking the replay will be a week thursday and therefore not on the tv!?

 

[Sensiblade]

Not good.

Yep, so Barnsley match rearranged again

 

[silverfox]

Good performance!

Monty was awesome with Halford, Cotts and Hendrie playing very good too!

Well done Blades!

 

[matth]

A great performance, more like the Blades of old. Hard to choose a MOTM out of Monty, Halford and Hendrie I think. Here's hoping Blackwell doesn't change owt for the next match.

 

[The One]

I agree with everyone.

Cotts looked much better on the ball. Hope he get's another chance.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Yep, so Barnsley match rearranged again

Thought so.

 

[MAQ]

Not good.

According to the OS the Barnsley match was supposed to be the 24th, unless we drewin which case it would be the 26th with the hull replay being on the 24th.

Hull play spurs live on tv on monday 23rd february so the replay has to be the thursday night and not the tuesday.

 

[Monty's_Girl]

The replay against Hull will be played on Thursday 26th February and the rearranged match with Barnsley on 24th February will have to be rearranged again as posted here

Ahh wasn't aware of that.

My appologies

 

[happyhippy]

Decent performance from the lads, and some nice stuff on the floor too. As others have said, difficult to find a MOTM. sufclucy said Cotts, and I was really glad to see some width with him there at last.

I'm not his greatest fan, but I think it's Halford's MOTM for me although, for comedic value, it nearly went to the wazzock along the row I was on who was trying to say that Kyle Walker was on £90k per week.

Among other stuff which had a lot of bovine odour coming from it.

 

[Come from away]

Great to watch the game today (thanks Foxy) we looked good and it was good to see some of those who have failed to step forward before actually do well. There is hope that Cotts might prove his value and Hendrie can contribute - hope they are not one game wonders, cos if they keep it going we can have a good run. Sad about Morgan but Bromby can fill in and Halford can cover for Henderson. I'd keep Lupoli and Ward on the bench, if the rest can keep up the momentum.

A good performance from the lads at last!
Strong all over the pitch and looked a different team to the one that started so slowly against the pigs. What ever formation/mentality/line-up we had we should try to keep because the team played well and made far more space. Cotterill played well, Monty got in some great tackles and Hendrie used the ball well. My only gripe at the way we played was this :: I watched Danny Webber and Billy Sharp in the second half and both of them were running here,there and everywhere. Both of them were on the left wing then the right wing etc etc. Now both Billy and Danny should be bog-lining and waiting for the ball to come in like the strikers that they're supposed to be?
Shame about Morgs ...

My vote goes to Halford..............choose him over Cotterill just cause he scored the goal.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Blackwell on Halford...

"Greg's not normally known for his bravery," Blackwell said, not without affection. "We call him Tampax because, no offence, he's like a woman."
