As I said don't want to know details just an update on how long they will be out.Nothing private about that.

What each of us considers private varies a lot. Maybe these youngsters are wary of giving out any info

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Game becoming slow...playing into our hands...not sure what that is but.they don't seem as energetic

 

[rosy red]

Have we got any players that can actually run fast. Every other team looks twice as speedy as us.

 

[jt64]

Why do we refuse to get tight to the oppo players?

Makes it very easy for them to draw fouls

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Bogle is NOT a defender.

 

[sheff_blade90]

its quality goal. but wheres the tackle, no defence should conceding when its 5 v 1

our away form will be the death of us. because we are so jekyll & hyde, at home we are brilliant & look competitive. but away we are so bad we might as well not turn up

because is it physcological. because its weird this same players in the same formation. but this is way below what we saw they are capable of, 8 days ago. do us the crowd have that much of an impact. does the roar of the crowd really turn the players play above themselves from good to great & then away the drop to there natural level

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Bogle is NOT a defender.

Not sarcasm

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

You’d have thought that last week was the boost we needed. But no, it was just polishing the turd. For gods sake Hecky, have a go or just GO.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Booker was quality lad! Ooh aaah

As it happens he was fucking useless..

 

[CambridgeshireBlade]

Glenn Murray on comms. May as well chuck him some boots and bring him on, he'd give us something up front to aim at

 

[jt64]

Bogle is NOT a defender.

Which is fine if we're playing with wing backs where the defensive responsibility should be a secondary role. Do agree that he would be better utilised even further up the pitch

 

[Slim Man]

What a half

 

[LS5 Blade]

I'll take 1-0 with those stats! Lets not leave it until 88th minute to try and sort it though

 

[Lawrence]

get Bogle off, for enybody!

 

[Bladeslife]

Bogle is NOT a defender.

I don't think any of them are judging by these first 12 games

 

[HarryHaslam]

Amazing we are still in this game after that showing

We are losing to a Brighton side that aren't playing four or five of their starters

He is better further up. I understand injuries dictate him playing the position he is in. Hasn't made one tackle, not sure if he has made 2 passes and fluffed a very inviting volley.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Zero clean sheets and zero shots on target becoming a depressing statistic…

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Mic drop

What home games have you been watching?

Can't remember us ever being brilliant or coming close to it.
Admit we were very good in the 1st half against Man Utd and showed unbelievable commitment and effort in the 2nd half against Wolves.
However in virtually every home game we've not been that competitive, apart from possible Everton but they looked a far better side than us regards composure and general passing of the ball. We apparently played well at home to Man City, yet hardly ventured into their half until we had a good 10 minute spell near the end where we at least competed and tried to score.

Agree though, that compared to our away performances than the home performances are brilliant in comparison.

The worrying thing for me is that our direct rivals who we should be compared against, Burnley and Luton.
They don't have the points but their performances, tactics and general play is far better and more positive than us,
making them a more difficult challenge.

I challenge anyone to watch Burnley., Luton and Bournmouth play and all 3, regards general play, consistently look better teams than us.

 

[Gaini Blade]

Blades still sat in their deckchairs whilst the Seagulls shit on them.

Crank it up lads!

 

[Chimpan-A]

We are losing to a Brighton side that aren't playing four or five of their starters

No one has starters on Sunday lunch …

 

[Lawrence]

How long is the journey back to Sheffield

 

[drblade]

Hamer doesn’t look happy playing in this position.

 

[Shawy24]

Just don’t you worry. Hecky will consider making a substitution about 58 minutes in and having discussed it at length with Stewy, he will bring little Ben on to shore up a 1-0 loss at around 79 minutes.

 

[jono_t2000]

Slimane for one of the wingbacks plz

 

[Nedski]

Makes it very easy for them to draw fouls

Makes it very easy for them to score goals if we don't try and tackle. Makes it impossible for us to score goals if we don't try and win the ball

 

[Nedski]

Just don’t you worry. Hecky will consider making a substitution about 58 minutes in and having discussed it at length with Stewy, he will bring little Ben on to shore up a 1-0 loss.

Can't wait for Fleck Osborne and Lowe to come on

 

[FriethBlade]

Bogle is NOT a defender.

Bogle is not a premier league player full stop. Nobody knows his best position but it certainly isn't one where he has to learn anybody
