[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It's great that Davies is immediately injured again

We have fuck all in midfield. Nobody who can make us play beyond the basic bare minimum

 

[71Blade]

Can we do a Wednesday but actually emergency loan a player out

 

[Dore Blade]

Cannon should be sold (not that anyone would pay anything for him) or loaned out (more likely) January 1st to allow a player with some idea on how to play football to take his place.

 

[The Crab]

Last year we were grinding out wins, this we are grinding out defeats.

No heart, no spine, nothing. I know COH are skint but they’ve not signed Wilder, they’ve signed Temu Wilder.

Relegation sir, good price, good price.

 

[JHaber]

We are absolutely where we deserve to be. If we thought any different, this has to confirm that we a in relegation scrap. This team dynamic, player quality, tactics, efforts, willingness to run, whatever you want to put out there, it's definitely bottom end stuff and nothing more. Even a good second half display can't mask that. And the wages we are paying for the privilege of watching this too....

Thing is they are terrible too, but they're winning and not by a sucker punch.

 

[jono_t2000]

We have no midfield. Peck only passes it sideways or backwards, so negative.

Our pattern is Peck passes back to defence who shovel it sideways to Tanganga who launches ball upfield to noone and Rovers come at us again.

 

[Super Furry Blades]

Reading all the comments on here regarding Cannon (and I agree with them)
Why the fuck does the messiah keep picking him ?
He seems to be the only one who rates him.....
What's that tell ya ?

 

[The Crab]

Id rather see young Marsh instead of Cannon.

I agree.

On the other hand, playing with these so called “professionals” might ruin him for good

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Hard to see us mounting a comeback from being a goal down.

 

[sufc323]

We kick off, go through the motions, then before we know it we’ve lost another game. Too many stealing a wage, Wilder and coaching staff included

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Cannon couldn't 'stretch' a rubber band

 

[Nick Jansky]

What happens when a manager whose main, and possibly only, attribute is as a motivator loses the ability to motivate?

 

[The Crab]

Not hooking Cannon at half time deserves CW the sack in my humble opinion

CW will not get sacked.

He was only brought back because it was the cheapest of cheap options.

No manager worth their salt will touch us.

They say the fish rots from the head, the whole fish is fucked.

Thanks COH, thanks a lot

 

[The Crab]

What happens when a manager whose main, and possibly only, attribute is as a motivator loses the ability to motivate?

At any other club, we know the answer.

There are financial reasons why this won’t happen in my opinion

 

[luffenhamblade]

A few good players, some who are the past their best, but a limited team. Agreed

A limited manager past his best. Really, almost got us promoted last year, sacked, given a toy cupboard of useless players by the board - Disagree

Ultimately a really boring watch. Agreed

Winning and being boring is one thing. Agreed, but it almost got us promoted until the board buggered it up - I'd certainly have rated our chances this year.

 

[Foody]

I don't want to get too technical in my tactical analysis, but it appears to me that the biggest issue is: we aren't very good at football.

Apart from that we're absolutely fine.

CW was never the problem...

 

[YES Blade]

I agree on Ogbene. I think some people have got this idea that he's useful because they've been told he's fast. He's bobbar.

He’s a League One Oli Burke!

 

[RobboBlade]

Soumare!

 

[Pintor75]

Get in, come on now!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

GOAL for Blades

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Gwt in soumare

 

[The Hobott]

HEY we scored - while you were all slagging Cannon off

 

[The Crab]

CW was never the problem...

Mate I disagree, he’s a problem not THE problem

 

[JayGreen17]

This team has the feeling of a team that went down to league 1 under another FAN as manager.

We’re screwed!

 

[The Crab]

HEY we scored - while you were all slagging Cannon off

Yeah everything’s fine now

 

[luffenhamblade]

HEY we scored - while you were all slagging Cannon off

Great goal, but to be fair Cannon is REALLY asking for it.

 

[The Hobott]

Yeah everything’s fine now

?

 

[luffenhamblade]

Mate I disagree, he’s a problem not THE problem

There's no harm in disagreeing; we all fundamentally want the same thing: a great Blades team.

 

[Champagneblade]

Get Brooks on for Cannon now and create the chances that Ings needs.
