[silver blade]

We've got more "20 minuters" than Lord Flashheart had in the RAF !

It was The Royal Flying Corp actually

 

[espoo blade]

He’s winning a few headers too..

Also made the right runs on a few occasions.

Apparently Anel has absolutely gifted the first two goals to Norwich and Walker at fault for the third !

 

[Stocky Blade]

Burnley looking good defensively, with KW & AA v AB scoring for Norwich!

 

[toledo]

We look very vulnerable defensively…..

Norwich 3 up...missing out on those two may not be as bad as we all thought

 

[Working Class Hero]

We look very vulnerable defensively…..

I think a few people are about to learn that we in fact do some centre backs, and that a couple of performances against teams that barely attacked us, are not a good measure of the ones at the club.

 

[toledo]

They are hurting us wide ….

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

We look very vulnerable defensively…..

Defense is all wrong. Not working together. Wide open on the right.
Needs an urgent reorganization before they fk it up.

Apparently Anel has absolutely gifted the first two goals to Norwich and Walker at fault for the third !

What has that got to do with this game.

 

[Champagneblade]

This linesman is half asleep.

Should have been out throw and just then their winger was miles offside.

The same people moaning when it looked like we might sign Souttar will be moaning that we didn’t stump up the £10m to sign him!

The throw-in decision was right in front of the dozy twat

once a moaner always a moaner no matter what

 

[blades_95]

Decent first ten minutes, can’t string 2 passes together since. This formation obviously gives us a threat going forward but we’re just conceding the midfield & control of the game.

 

[toledo]

This is a woeful display so far… we are so far off the Cardiff players …

This seems to be crying out for 5 at the back and 3 in the middle.

 

[alhooks13]

Defense is shit

 

[Silkblade]

Cooper was fuming then and he has a right to be. Not one defender reacted. He’s had a great game so far

 

[Bladedog]

Pathetic defending

 

[DromoreBlade]

School boy defending. Absolute pish

 

[toledo]

Wow!!!!!

 

[espoo blade]

FFS. Awful defending.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Serious question, do we have a midfield???

 

[ATL Recs]

Shyte awful defending and any ability to keep the ball

 

[HarryHaslam]

Been coming, so wasteful with our possession, just giving it them straight back so easily.

 

[toledo]

It’s Cardiff v Cooper ….

 

[Champagneblade]

We have just completely stopped playing since going 2-1 up.

They want a right bollocking at half time.

Goal was coming but there’s been a total lack of urgency.

Did they think it was won?

Number of times we turned over the ball in that last 5 minutes was disgraceful. It was Bamford who lost it to allow them to attack.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

When u sit back like you're scared and them just keep giving the ball away what do you expect?
