[Notts Blade 123]

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

 

[Pintor75]

Is Ogbene much better than Barry? Fcking dozy, passing and crossing awful.

He's getting lots of the ball, but his distribution is poor atm

 

[skegblade]

Ferkin good job blackburns final ball is wxxk

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Decent first 10 minutes, now very flat.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

God the championship is shit

 

[YES Blade]

Is Wilder actually happy with these types of performances? Be fairly solid at the back and create very little.

Every match just feels like it’s going to be close and go either way, even against poor sides like Blackburn. Surely we can set up more attacking and give ourselves a better chance to dominate matches.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Cannon truly is an awful player, and not even because we paid a good fee for him. If he came through our academy i'd be thinking we should release him at nearly 23, seen much more from 19 y/o One in his cameos

Given our resources and the fact we were letting goals in as a matter of course then probably, yes. Next step needs to be creating at least some opportunities though!. Team still looks poor but so much better than the shower at the start of the season.

 

[drblade]

Ings not seeing much of the ball. Looks decent when he does get it though.

Ings shown more liveliness so far than cannon & Campbell have all season, whether he'll last with lack of match fitness I don't know

Yes, good couple of minutes here! Edit: (Me bad 1-0) - feel like that's on me

The problem is that even with a defensive set up we still give the opposition good chances as we’re seeing tonight and against Watford. So I really don’t understand the negative approach.

 

[drblade]

Too easy

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Game over.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Get Cannon off he's crap. Inngs doing nea

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Fckin paddy mcguinness just letting the lad cross it.

 

[Addison]

Getting done down the flanks. Who is playing left side to support McCallum he's getting little help. Again question marks about the formation.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Aimless knock down our left and their player is free to put a decent cross into an almost empty box for a simple tap in.

FFS.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Cannon loses ball they score. CW is a total plank even picking him

 

[71Blade]

The only good thing about Cannon starting is that he will be dragged off at half time

45 mins too late please get rid he is absolutely garbage

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Slow slow slow

ffs

 

[Bobby b]

Its been coming, how many crosses are letting in, we've shown nothing going forward, the passing is terrible,

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Mcguiness is only good as a stopper and heading the ball.

Cannon once again done NOTHING and is always 5 minutes behind everyone else

 

[luffenhamblade]

The problem is that even with a defensive set up we still give the opposition good chances as we’re seeing tonight and against Watford. So I really don’t understand the negative approach.

Agreed - seem damned if we do and damned if we don't

 

[skegblade]

3 at back been pulled all over been coming for last 15 minutes

 

[Bladedog]

We,re piss poor at back..a good side will punish us.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Game over

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

We just give the ball away too easily and we're not strong enough man on man.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

They changed to 4 at the back about 10 mins ago. You saw wilder hold up 4 fingers and Ogbene pushed up a bit

 

[The Hobott]

I think both these teams will go down
