[espoo blade]

Complaining about +8 when they've been time-wasting at every opportunity!

 

[BangorBlade]

Thank fck the seasons nearly over

 

[SharpAsAblade]

I can’t with this ref man

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Don't think we have dominated a half like this and not scored in some time

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Miss sitters, concede poor goals, repeat.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Shoulda coulda didn’t Wilder that’s on you my son great 2nd half

 

[71Blade]

He should go just for that pathetic set up in the first half. Dreadful. Massive credit to them travelling Blades.

 

[Steve.C]

Wilder out please. He’s spent.

 

[Sheffsteel]

As a football club surely we've got to try something different going forward.

The owners have already tried a few things differently and it failed.
The consensus at the time was to go back to the tried and trusted….what works.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Yep. Didn’t take our chances again.
Bristol keeper had a fine game and was the main reason they weren’t hammered really.
Pring incredibly lucky that Woy slipped that early bung in. I guess the ref didn’t want to “spoil the game” even though it was 100% an rsd, and unlike every other ref we’ve had this season that were all over the 50/50 calls.

Worked.

 

[Champagneblade]

Really ate pathetic at both ends.

21 shots and bot a single bloody goal? Absolutely embarrassing.

Other end 1 shot. 1 goal.

Make ‘em walk home.

1 point from Swansea City and Bristol City? Lost for words.

 

[coolasanidiot]

2nd half was a great performance and we deserved a goal.

1st half was as shit as it gets, Davies just plain rubbish, it's scandalous that he is our back up keeper.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Bristol goalkeeper MOM.

I find its amazing how other teams can hang on for a 1-0 win and we struggle to even hold on when 3-1 up.

Wilders time is up.

Lets a 79 yearold out do him to give Bristol City the 2nd only win double over United ever.

 

[The Fox]

Poor starting X1.. pathetic 1st half , missed sitters .. saving deadbat the trouble .

 

[Blademan89]

Difference in first half and 2nd is like day & night, however we still could not break them down, and when we did manage to get an opportunity their keeper was determined not to be beat or we cock it up (Bamfords sitter).

I think it puts paid to 352 rest of this season and pretty much tells you everything about players "fighting" (not much of one) for the starting position.

Tanganga absolutely terrible first half along with Hjelde but 2nd half he was an absolute rock.

Rothwell was like Hammond reincarnated 1st half but 2nd half their was a glimmer of hope that he has something to offer next season with a full pre season.

Brooks helps change the game to make us more on the front foot along with Hamer.

Frustrating all round just like this season, we turn up like the first half we still have a genuine worry that we could be dragged into last day relegation scrap, play like we did 2nd half then we should be ok.

 

[Loco Blade]

We beat ourselves didn’t we like so many times this season . We had it in our hands and we fucked it up

The ref did even it up when Brookes could have and should have seen a second yellow

 

[Nick Jansky]

He was the least of our problems in the first half.

In what way did he outdo him? If United played for 90 minutes, like Bristol City did today, then most of this forum would be outraged. United were pathetic first half but incredibly unfortunate to lose. They utterly dominated in the second half. If you can criticise the manager first half, you must also give credit for the second half transformation.

No, don’t you give up Deadbat.
You’re reports are the highlight of matchdays with the in charge
COYRAWW. UTB

By all means criticise Wilder but to say he was "schooled" is simple not true. We absolutely dominated the second half and they got lucky.

They weren’t unfortunate to lose. They yet again failed to convert domination into goals. That’s down to mentality more than bad luck, especially with the number of times its happened this season.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Gidds suggesting the starting eleven was due to Wilder seeing how easy it was to score against us on Friday. Clearly choosing to ignore Wilders comments about players not being deserving of a place.

Are we seeing another R/S backing of CW against the owners as the fans criticism grows?

 

[harrry1990s]

Please, somebody, make it stop.
Sick of this season.

 

[Keen Blade]

And I believe hes on a 4 Yr contract

Which is why we'll need to offer plenty of Green Shield stamps to shift him

We weren’t unfortunate at all we weren’t clinically good enough
The game was lost in the first half - take your 5 best players out you get what you deserve
They played like a group of strangers
Brookes n Hamer and a move to a 4 at the back changed it
It was crying out for Ohare and his energy from 60 minutes on
The manager makes the decision he got today wrong ….
With no parachute money and the likely sales of Brookes Seriki Ohare ( he’s indicated he wants a move) the definite sale of Hamer then look at what’s left and we are stuck with
Next season could be worse unless OOH have some investment

 

[Sean Thornton]

As usual, Auntie, bollocks, Uncle……..

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

A memorable game

I am commenting purely on today's game. If United had won, playing exactly as Bristol City did today, could you honestly say they had not been fortunate.
