I'm numb to it. Can't believe I got up at 4am again.
Respect to those who have made the trip, it's getting harder to stay with this team this year, lack of desire and effort is appalling

 

[PokerBlade]

It's fascinating. I didn't expect things to be easy, or even particularly good, but I'm amazed at how bad we can be against a team this bad. How could a manager mess up a game plan this poorly? How could disciple be this woeful? It's new levels of shite.

 

[London based Blade]

Take mother in law to the match: sorted.

 

[Snowflake]

I am angry. I understand what you mean. I’m angry because the club we all love is dying a death. That’s not being dramatic. I wish the Board and players cared as much as we do. It’s just so sad, we’ve been shit before but this feels different. We’ve been shit but TRIED 100%.

The club is heading to the Championship, not dying.
However what happens in the next 8 months will define our immediate future.

 

[Bladeslife]

Take mother in law to the match: sorted.

Are you trying to say he dislikes her that much

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

What a silly thing to say. Have you ever tried to jump with your arms by your side? OM didn’t catch him in the face it was his neck and shoulder, but O Shea went down like he’d been shot in the face the cheating bastard

I don't think he's cheated, McBurnie's offered himself openly for a red card. That makes him a moron, despite arguably being our best player...how scary is that..

 

[SUFCinks]

haha tiny little benie traore is the game plan. Hope he proves me wrong. Going to be interesting seeing how he tries to get on the end of our hoofs.

 

[Jon B]

Spending the day with the Mother-in law on Boxing Day or going the game, has now actually become a real decision to make …..

Send her to the game.

 

[CornwallBlade]

What a silly thing to say. Have you ever tried to jump with your arms by your side? OM didn’t catch him in the face it was his neck and shoulder, but O Shea went down like he’d been shot in the face the cheating bastard

You seriously think the that he didn’t decide “fuck this I’m out of here”? He’s not ghe first and won’t br the last

 

[BettingBlade]

Even if we win this 3-2 (we wont) he’s still 100% got to go for me. His job is beyond saving. He’s proven in the past he doesnt learn from his mistakes.

 

[Flo's Sweaty Bandage]

Get it hoofed to big lad Traore...

 

[Jon B]

We'll go 4-3-1 when Fleck gets sent off.

Luckily he's not fast enough to catch anyone anymore.

 

[Addison]

Just when you think you not seen a worse performance than the last one up the rock the Blades to dispel that theory. Absolute disgrace over 45 minutes but anyone with half a brain knew that would happen before we kicked off when we saw the team selection. It was obvious we would get done down the left with Thomas. He's been mentioned half a dozen times by the commentators that he's the weak link. Been booked and nearly gave a penalty away yet I fully expect him to turn out for the second half. There's no fire on the pitch easy life for the players because its unlikely they will get the severe bollocking they deserve.

Where is the pride in the shirt. Lost count of the number of times it was said Burnley players ran through us without a challenge. McBurnie once again shows what little he has between his ears. You don't berate the ref and then give him a reason to send you off shortly after. Don't let that incident give the manager a get out of jail card. Hamer played out of position yet again, Fleck and Norwood in midfield he's either deluded or knows he won't get the sack so he continues to play the same way irrespective of how much we stink the place out.

 

[PrestwichBlade]

An owner that won't sack the manager, a manager that won't walk and players that clearly now have no desire to play for the manager either. Good times.

 

[Lawrence]

I said in midweek it’s Hecky’s last game, he doesn’t have a clue!

 

[bakeblade]

Get it hoofed to big lad Traore...

At least Flecks not getting sent off

 

[Pintor75]

Send her to the game.

She might be the manager by then!

 

[Silkblade]

I would actually of payed money to see that half time team talk, would probably be sat there pissing myself at Hecky’s reaction

 

[SUFCinks]

Benie traore, who was a striker in sweden, now being used at RM in the prem to get us back into the game. Interesting…

Edit:just seen he has played RW before apparently.

 

[Thrice]

I like Hecky and I would hate to see him sacked. But he's run out of excuses by now.

 

[LS5 Blade]

Just need Norwood to get a yellow so he gets a weeks rest!

 

[Flo's Sweaty Bandage]

This is more painful to watch than Newcastle and Bournemouth. I’m still watching as it’s an excuse to continue to drink Elf Brewdogs to dull the pain - nice little drop of ale actually.

I think I would also need elf Brewdogs. By that I mean the German meaning of elf

Quite a coincidence that because we’ve got a team of Elf’s.

 

[71Blade]

Anyone worked out the game plan yet?

Run a bit point a bit lose by lots

 

[Mendi]

Hecky has to go.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Has anybody got some inside info / gossip of the players and Hecky? Would be interesting to see what’s going on.

The thing is before Thomas was brought in our left hand side was shocking and was targeted by the opposition every week, I didn't know anything about Thomas but I was pleased we were bringing someone in because we were so weak, Lowe,Larouchi? The new lad can't be any worse could he? No he isn't, trouble is he's no better, as someone else has said terrible waste of a loan signing.

 

[Sean Thornton]

At least Flecks not getting sent off

Shame. Could be a three match ban.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

You can not make this up
