[toledo]

For crying out loud, what are we doing ? What’s our tactics?

This is just awful….

toledo

 

[DromoreBlade]

Sod it, I’m away out to paint the shed

 

[RWE]

Players haven’t got a fucking clue what the plan is

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Sideways backwards

 

[skegblade]

Looks like our master tactician has had a brainstorm
Couldn't get a tune out of a stradivarius

 

[Champagneblade]

Terrible pass by Choudhury that gifted Blackburn the goal. Useless signing Choudhury

He’s been a liability in every single game he has started. How long is Chris going to persist to prove a point? He’s been garbage in each game.

Looking like 4-4-2 again. Why bother learning eh?

Making a genuinely shit team look like Real Madrid.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Pass pass pass pass pass... Tanganga lump it straight to the keeper.

IS THIS OUR GAMEPLAN?!

 

[Benitachel]

Three games and Choudhury has been awful . Still Wilder picks him at RB.

 

[Spadge54]

If taganga is the answer what is the question btw he’s making mcceverley look like john terry

 

[71Blade]

Peck was weak he doesnt get a free pass

 

[harrry1990s]

I’d like someone to ask Wilder how we plan to score a goal.
If all we do is stand and let them have the ball, eventually they’ll score (eventually = within 20 minutes)

We’re terrible.

 

[toledo]

United are consistently playing relegation type football…. We have absolutely no idea what to do ….

 

[blades_95]

Getting dominated by Blackburn ffs, we are actually the worst team in the league aren't we

Another manager who has been shafted this summer by the board, but the difference is they look like they’re actually coached.

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

Think it's 5 if you include Choudrey who is proving useless, 2 1/2, 2 1/2. Donovan supposedly free to roam. But Donovan seeming to have to cover RWB as well even though Choudrey is in a back 5. Even then Choudrey fucks it up. Oh dear! BBD doing everything up front and Cannon fairying about as usual.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

That should have been two ... Choudhury just leaving him on his own to run in the area ... Needs to come off now before they get a couple more goals

 

[Thrice]

Peck was weak he doesnt get a free pass

He could've handled that pass better. But there was absolutely no need for Choudhury to put him under pressure there.

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

I struggle to understand how Doherty can be worse than Choudhury, at least he’s actually a right back ffs

Been ill the past week and only back in training.

 

[Champagneblade]

This ref isn’t giving us anything is he? Always been an absolute look at me twat!

 

[Missing Spark]

This ref isn’t giving us anything is he? Always been an absolute look at me twat!

The ref is the least of my worries!! 0/10s all round.

 

[MILLERtheBLADE]

Donovan is the only bright spot. Though if I was him, I’d be slipping the bus driver a few quid to drop me off in Brentford

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Choudhury looks to have gone downhill since he was last here

Peck is also fantastic at losing the ball in those positions and costing us goals. He's done it many times

 

[VictoryBlade]

We need Warnock back and i dont say that lightly!

 

[JustLookin]

Do you think this board of Americans understand what it means when a bunch of Sheffield lads get their shoes off in a car park?

 

[SLB]

Think it's 5 if you include Choudrey who is proving useless, 2 1/2, 2 1/2. Donovan supposedly free to roam. But Donovan seeming to have to cover RWB as well even though Choudrey is in a back 5. Even then Choudrey fucks it up. Oh dear! BBD doing everything up front and Cannon fairying about as usual.

I wouldn't blame Donovan if he asked to go back to Brentford's reserves.

 

[YES Blade]

Been ill the past week and only back in training.

Do you really think Wilder would pick him ahead of Choudhury anyway?

 

[Jim Mcdonald]

Not won a tackle or 50/50.

 

[ben1987]

Getting absolutely dominated here.

Awful.

What a stupid goal to give away as well. Hospital pass by Choudhury and then Peck trying to spin on it 20 yards out with two men on him.

 

[toledo]

The ref didn’t decide our tactics or lack of..

I truly don’t know what we had planned today: we sat back, we gave the ball away, we weee slow. Cannon is not a cf, and we just don’t know how to make this a game ..

 

[Stevo71]

Ffs

 

[blades_95]

Someone needs to ask Wilder what the plan is to attack and score goals.

Lump balls up to BBD & Cannon who will barely win a header between them? We’ve got RND/McCallum/Hamza out wide who can’t cross a ball, crossing to 2 strikers whose strength isn’t getting across their men win headers.

ANOTHER game where an average - below average team are absolutely dominating us. It’s embarrassing.
