[Maidenhead]

Understatement but with the results last night we need to win this.

Season finishing tomorrow?

 

[Hagansbootlaces]

I hope that bench shocks us all!!

Well if it doesn’t the sight of the booster seats being put out before kick off will !

 

[Big Hitter]

Big ask on Berge and Norwood.

Bench is young.

I've got food in my fridge older than some of them.

 

[Champagneblade]

The A-team are out injured. I suppose it's only right at Blackpool we play our C-side

How long have you had that one for Hal?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Two quick goals Blades shut those bloody drums up

 

[raimond]

I hope Egan is a rock at the back I can't handle another rollercoaster of a performance

Cut him down the middle and "Sheffield United" runs right through him (actually it's probably Cork GAA or summat but I'm doing me best)

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

McBurnie injured?

Has to be to for someone to take his position on the bench.

 

[JOEYDEE]

Berge has a shot in area...
Blackpool commentator..
' If Berge had scored that,it could have been 1-0 ' !

 

[Davalon]

Need to take advantage of this spell

 

[Headshrinker]

Don't like this ref. Another one that gives a foul for every challenge.

 

[Bobby b]

Very picky ref, that's not a booking

 

[Yarrayering]

What a gr8 break and chance, if that's for opposition it's a goal everytime

Seriously these commentators on the red button are dire, talk the biggest load of shit

 

[JPSharpy93]

Can’t remember the last time we scored from a direct free kick

 

[Headshrinker]

Decent play this half. Just missing the final pass or shot.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Good 1st half just the finishing off with those 2/3 decent chances wasted/missed in 1st half.

 

[Davalon]

Decent half under the circumstances imho but hope we don't rue the missed opportunities

 

[CornwallBlade]

Norrington Davies is giving away silly fouls in dangerous positions. MGW is such a threat but unfortunately the others aren’t up speed with his passing around the box.
They are kicking lumps out of us. Apart from that not a bad half at all.

 

[Cradleyblade]

Decent half under the circumstances imho but hope we don't rue the missed opportunities

We normally do

 

[Rufus Smalls]

I might be in the minority but I thought we were quite average, considering Blackpool were very pedestrian.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Can’t remember the last time we scored from a direct free kick

It’s weird isn’t it? Norwood can hit a laser like pass 40 yards but ask him to hit it between the goal posts from 15 and he’s seemingly incapable

 

[CornwallBlade]

I might be in the minority but I thought we were quite average, considering Blackpool were very pedestrian.

If we had the A team out we’d be tearing them apart. Given the selection choices I think we have to cut them some slack though

 

[robbiez666]

Scrappy first half. Need to get our foot on the ball and control the play.

 

[Bell4]

I might be in the minority but I thought we were quite average, considering Blackpool were very pedestrian.

Very average

Berge just doesn’t stamp any authority

 

[Nagima]

Decent play this half. Just missing the final pass or shot.

Just lacking fluidity in the final third. The passing and movement needs to improve in the second half. Its like some of our players don't know what the other is going to do hence it breaks down.
Bowler for them is causing us problems when he runs at us. RND and Robinson need to be careful or one of them could be off.

 

[shrubbery]

Real lack of quality in our final ball / finish. Dominating the game though.

 

[Silent Blade]

Didn't Jock Dodds go there from us as well.?

Yes before the war

 

[Big.Dane.w]

Observations from first half:
RND is one hell of a clumsy defender
Bowler looks a baller

 

[Overthehills]

Happy with performances all round.... hope that if we keep ticking away, then the breakthrough will come.

Mention for Gordon who I feel is growing in confidence.. he isn't the finished article, but he's starting to work it all out and looks more the part.

Keep it up boys, keep the faith, should be in front.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Observations from first half:
RND is one hell of a clumsy defender
Bowler looks a baller

He’s worse than clumsy, he’s a bit dim. Shunting into the back of a player who is standing on the touch line facing the crowd is pure amateurish. He needs to stop it or he’ll be off. As BD said, Bowler is a baller and will be running at him constantly now
