[71Blade]

Very well done that Blades battled hard great 3 points that UTB

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Good win

5 favourable fixtures now to secure ourselves at the right end of the league going into new year

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Another CLEAN SHEET for Cooper and 3 more points for the BLADES

 

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Well done Blades and fans, nice to see some attacking subs on that can force the opposition back while seeing the game out.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

Well done,he can get it right now and again instead of complicating it. Well done to the travelling supporters,a very dedicated lot,they deserve a medal .

 

[blades_95]

Fair play I didn’t see that coming, good 3 points!

I’d love to see the front 3 that ended the game (Donovan, Bamford, Oné) in front of a Phillips, Peck & Arblaster midfield.

 

[Argentinemanager]

A great result a battling performance and deserved 3 points MM outstanding

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Good win that and the lads played some good stuff at times. Felt we were worth a second goal.

UTB.

 

[North Riding Blade]

There's no excusing this. Our budget didn't dictate we'd have to settle for anything nearly this bad, and this dull

A bizarre mixture of crap, slow, boring and past it players who don't suit any particular formation or style of play

Anything to add to this?

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Well done Blades and fans, nice to see some attacking subs on that can force the opposition back while seeing the game out.

And Peck was very good.

 

[Hollinsend]

Kitching and Phillips stood out for me

 

[Sean Thornton]

Thought the first 25 mins was the best we’ve played all season. Fizzled out and turned a bit scrappy after that but overall decent half and deserved lead

Plenty of spirit when under the cosh. Good to see.

 

[Eskimo]

Waving the white flag an hour before we start, glad im on holiday or Id have made the trip to see this. Starting with 9 players at best.

Waving the red and white flag now?

 

[ben1987]

Plenty of spirit when under the cosh. Good to see.

After that first 1/4 it was pretty low quality, stop-start, scrappy football from both sides but there were definitely some positives.

Don’t feel like we were under too much pressure. I’m going to stab my eyes out with a fork if I ever have to watch Choudhury at right back again when Tanganga moving over and McGuiness slotting in was far better

Burrows did quite well after a long ish lay off. Used the ball better than McCallum does.

Blaster best he’s been since injury and looked decent next to Philips.

I really want to see us in a 433 with Donnovan and One either side of Bamford or Cannon with Peck, Blaster and Philips in midfield.

 

[Sean Thornton]

I can't believe how little Bristol have created

They had a lot of the ball second half. We defended very well.

 

[Darlington82]

If we put in another negative, long ball performance today and inevitably lose, then the board have got to grow a pai

Waving the red and white flag now?

Shows I know Naff all.

Seen most of it by the pool but lots of buffing so did not see why McGuiness went off.

First 25 mins we were excellent, great fininsh for blaster and then some interceptions and headers. Ayew was impactfull with everyone contributing. We were never really the better team after that, apart from defence with Kitchin brilliant, McGuiness was excellent and brave. Burrow was a positive improvement and I like MCCallum.. Philips obviously made a difference and we held our own in midfield. Wilder far too late making the changes but when he did they all made a positive contribution for a change. As I say Kitchin Burrows and McGuiness MOMs and Cooper never had a save to make unless I missed it in the buffing.

Plenty of spirit when under the cosh. Good to see.

Normally it's watching through your fingers with us,but for once it felt quite comfortable. Chris held the subs back a bit too long for me,but all the subs made an impact. Thought Donovan was absolutely brilliant.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

After that first 1/4 it was pretty low quality, stop-start, scrappy football from both sides but there were definitely some positives.

That's the championship for you. I can't watch non blades games. It's pretty low quality

 

[SB_90]

nice to get 3 points. took advantage of Bristol city being poor in 1st half that was hugely surprising at how poor they were 1st half i expected far better

& i like how we were solid when they woke up in 2nd half & put us under pressure

Donavon & Onè have to start v derby

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Anything to add to this?

No. Surprisingly decent performance from a line up that looked horrendous

It's good that we won

I don't even want Wilder out but I'll call it as I see it regardless

I may be in a minority but I’ve not seen Mcguiness have a poor game all season,he is a decent centre half at this level,it may be different with a nippy street wise centre forward.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Particularly delighted for McGuinness and Arblaster. Who doesn’t love a redemption arc.

Donovan can’t not be getting much more game time after that. Such an upgrade on BBD and Chong and was instrumental in us seeing it out relatively comfortably at the end.

Very pleasant watching a team that didn’t have Choudhury at RB. Let’s have much more of that, please.

 

[Roygbiv]

Very happy with the subs. Thought we might be looking to do what we did away at Stoke at one point but having 4 attacking players up top at the end was pleasing to see

 

[Uganda Blade]

A really bitty second half. Not much quality from either side but some great defending from us.
Kitching MoM for me.
Why oh why isn't Donovan starting or on sooner?

Who's Donovan?

Yeah im chuffed to bits for Blaster.

Not only was it a lovely goal that won the game he seemed more comforable covering the ground. Most of our good play went through him one way or another and he picked up a few interceptions and tackles in the middle too. He was a good foil for Philips.

McGuiness and Kitching were solid as a pair and Tanganga covered RB far better than Choudhury.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Cracking win, soon in play offs

 

[Sean Thornton]

Who's Donovan?

Pedantic l know but it’s “whose doner van?”

What the relevance is l have no idea……

 

[Sean Thornton]

Cracking win, soon in play offs

Minstrels currently busy writing new love songs after that…….
