[Ukkonen]

Chaos again, it gives me headache watching this brand of football, terrible terrible football.

The goal was a mistake our overall defensive play really is nonexistent


Ai-ukaki seems decent though.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Owners right now: "Note to S. Bettis. Send more scouts to watch defenders. Just in case."

 

[illimandem]

Soumare looks decent tbf

 

[Ukkonen]

I'm quite looking forward to Selles one step further to being booed. 2 defeats in a row in competitive English football matches at the highest level with round 3 just a puss easy match next up....

As before, bring back Wilder mk 3.5

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

mmmm is Selles an ?

 

[MTBlade]

Awful basic pass from Ukaki puts defender under pressure who then plays an awful pass back to the keeper that didnt even get close to him.

Basic errors have us 1-0 down.

You can't blame Selles for not making basic passes, my lads u15 team would make.

 

[Th!stledo]

The body language wasn't good when they were waiting in the tunnel to come on... especially JLT.
Not great when your captain is looking pissed off and really not wanting to be there!!

 

[Innuendoandouttheother]

Basic errors in an unsettled team. Shame for Dovydas as he's had a good preseason. Screaming out for some investment in defence.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Poor start but settling down a bit now.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Robbo not happy

 

[ATL Recs]

I'm quite looking forward to Selles one step further to being booed. 2 defeats in a row in competitive English football matches at the highest level with round 3 just a piss easy match at home next up....

You’d going to be dissapointed then he won’t be getting sacked

 

[RetfordBlade96]

Robinson moaning hes not in North Wales already

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Hwre we go, brum player kicks ball out in front of lino, throw in to brum

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Robinson is just a fucking idiot. I hope we can get rid.

 

[RetfordBlade96]

if Robinson gets sent off today fuck me

 

[SufcBilly]

Get that moron Robinson out of this club

 

[K1 flabby stick]

JLT red incoming

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Robbo not happy

Will he last 90 mins?!

 

[Dimyan93]

JLT booking is the easiest money I've ever made

 

[ATL Recs]

Robinson Captain reliable liability

 

[BladeByChoice]

Get Robbo off the pitch and out of the club

 

[Berkshire Blade]

My post about Robinson is awaiting moderator approval. He's a fizz head wee wee poo face

 

[Barry Butlin]

Robinson doing his best to get sent off

 

[The Crab]

C3P0 should be nowhere near a football pitch, never mind the first team.

And stop apologising for the language, it’s a football match. What next, apologise for a late tackle?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Robinson getting very wound up a couple of times already - probably fucked off at having to play in that defence, basically on his own

 

[blAdes96]

Felt like a real harsh yellow card, the Birmingham player should have been booked for kicking ball away which is why Robbo was frustrated.

But we are too easy to play through and it’s too easy for them to play through our press, which is embarrassing.

Selling Souza and Anel with no replacements. Blades writing the new Idiots Guide to How not do Transfer Windows…

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

Going to happen with young lads. Rather let a goal like that in than them ripping us apart

 

[SufcBilly]

Some tackle Monsieur

No chance.

His reaction to after the ball went out was a booking within itself

 

[Whitby-Blade]

Robbo, the most senior player and captain acting like a complete moron yet again. Completely indefensible behavior. Please move him on before the window shuts.
