Sat here pissing myself reading all the comments from the negative ninnies from half time until we scored. Honestly, some people.

Awwww someone with a different opinion upsets you?

A good win after a poor first half, fair play. Let’s build on that

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Said Campbell was deservedly dropped after the past few performances then he comes on and changes the game with Burrows.

You would like to think both got the message from the past week that we needed more from them and boy did they deliver it along with Soumare and O'Hare

 

[coaxingstar71]

Y that was what I objected to. Cannon is having an horriblis but comparing starters to finishers can be a bit of waste of time.

No idea what you're talking about, however Campbell did more in the first 2 minutes he was on than Cannon did in the 50 odd minutes he was on the pitch.

 

[The Hobott]

Some nice scenes on Sky at the end with Wilder - puffing some players confidence

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Also can Brooks start a game please.

Think dropping Campbell & Burrows from the starting eleven worked well

 

[derfblade.3]

Carl Asaba said we were a different team because we had only 10 players in the first half.........then apologised..
At least he had the balls to call out Tom Cannon live on air.

 

[bakeblade]

Cannon goes off Campbell comes on what a difference

Loan out Cannon to Bridlington

Hecky will have him

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Hecky will have him

Since the first defeat they've all looked void of any belief, coming from behind away and scoring three to get 6 points in two games should be a huge boost for them.

I'm still not entirely sold on Wilder but I do support him while he's here. One thing's for sure, that man certainly knows how gee up a squad.

 

[coolasanidiot]

Hecky will have him

It’s a gift Hecky, so long as he starts Friday for you….

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Confidence is back. Points will follow. Think we will really crack on now

 

[The Crab]

Hecky will have him

He wanted him last window didn’t he?

 

[Boxer Blade]

I bet Anstonblade is in a right mood tonight

 

[bakeblade]

He wanted him last window didn’t he?

Yes and we should have snatched his hand off

 

[The Crab]

Yes and we should have snatched his hand off

Not sure how true but I heard at the time it was late on deadline day and basically ran out of time

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Also can Brooks start a game please.

Only just back from injury 3 games in a week.

 

[Pintor75]

The best thing to come from this result tonight is Confidence, added to Saturdays win, bring on PNE, utb

 

[dexter101]

Great result and hopefully we can keep building now.

3 games in such a short time meant changes had to happen and now we can throw our strongest starting 11 at Preston.

I am all for giving chances, but Cannon doesn't even look like he wants it. His tracking and pressing is like someone told to look like they are running but without the movement.

 

[SB_90]

(excluding play offs) since we got relegated that incredibly is only 3rd time in a league game, that we have scored 3 goals in a match

1st time since 21st january we come from behind to take all 3 points, when ironically we were 1-0 down at half time v swansea & came back to win 2-1

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

O'Hare, Soumare and Burrows all stood out tonight but everyone else (Cannon excepted) deserves credit too.

Great win on the road!

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Cannon was poor but wasn't the only one, first eight pages of this post are embarrassing. Team crap, Wilder crap .
Wilder played a blinder by sending on his big guns when they were tiring badly.
Well done Blades.

Not upset pal, just amused at some of the dull, dour misfits that inhabit this place.

No worries, I’ve been called a lot worse than that

 

[Dkc]

Game over.

I think both these teams will go down

Game over
Utterly woeful.
We’re even worse going forward! 4 goals this season is fucking pathetic

An absolute shower of shit from front to back.


Embarrassing.

Jesus we are so bad.

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

A limited manager past his best

Not hooking Cannon at half time deserves CW the sack in m

Blackburn shown more desire that's why they're 2.0 up

.

We are absolutely where we deserve to be. If we thought any different, this has to confirm that we a in relegation scrap.

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

View from the first half. Tbf I also thought we were poor, but no worse than many games last season when we went on to win. Wilder hasn't lost his motivational skills. He can still get a team to put in a performance that's more than the sum of its parts.

Not promotion material but in a way that's good. The pressure's off and imo we aren't going down. Enjoy the season and remember, money and exposure aside it's better in the Championship than the PL.

It's funny, at the start of last season, it felt like a good season would be finishing just outside the play offs and building for promotion the year after (this year). Our results last season meant we ended up focusing on promotion straight away but I think we all knew the side wasn't quite finished.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but if we weren't top at Christmas, would we have signed cannon for £10m and we then wouldn't have done the manager oke cokey this summer.

Think the same thing now applies, let's have a good season in the championship this year, add in Jan, add in the summer and then go for it next year.

Soumare was excellent in the second half.
