Ched Evan isn't injured after all then....

[GrayBlade]

I've just watched him on Sky, MOTM scoring both goals for Wales in their 2-0 win.

What's all that about then?

 

[Guesty]

Isn't the Wales game just about to kick off?

Actually I guess you mean the under-21s as Evans isn't in the squad, despite the Star saying he's dashed all the way to finland for the match...

Yeh, fancy that. A goalscorer scoring two goals!!

A quality statement by a quality player.
Nice header by ched then a volley.
He's bound to be playing in the defence against scunny for that.

 

[Hodges17]

Sky Sports reporter had him down as still playing for Man City.

Perhaps it was just a dream after all?

 

[holmfirthblade]

I missed the game, where did he play? And more to the point why is he not really firing for us?

 

[Bladesway]

He played the full 90, looked strong as an ox but he was playing the Dog & Duck U21's so perhaps he should have looked strong and sharp.

...& possibly Ched received at least 2 passes not aimed at his adams apple or 6 yard above.

You know what Beighters you make suicide look like an exciting option sometimes.

Yeh Ken. And, maybe, just maybe, the crowd were behind him from the start? Just a thought.

Be an interesting change if they were. Imagine what could happen.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Unfortunately, he does appear to have picked up an injury - though hopefully a minor one.

John Toshack interview post-Finland game: ""We did intend to have five of the lads come up from the Under-21 game.

"But I understand Ched Evans is not able to travel because of an injury so we've called an extra four lads in."

 

[Fiery Blade]

Perhhaps Blackwell should speak to Toshack with regards to tactics
It appears they have them right for Ched !
Perhaps big John can give Blackwell a pointer ot two of how best to use Ched because at the moment he looks like he is treading water whenever he is in a Blades shirt !

 

[Come from away]

If anyone saw the game, it was simple opportunism and good luck - what many strikers live off - no great plan to be had here.

 

[Fiery Blade]

Should be OK with Blackwell then as he doesn't have any plans whatsoever!

 

[Come from away]

Kinda like your one track comments. Rather have Blackwell.

So please enlighten me then and explain Mr Blackwells multi facetted plan to take the Blades back into the Premier League!

Score goals, defend, win games, get promoted??

 

[Robbie]

Score goals, defend, win games, get promoted??

We are occasionally doing 2 of these things....

The defending and promotion seems to be a bit wayward at times though./

 

[Fiery Blade]

Score goals, defend, win games, get promoted??

We are scoring goals at present but the others tend to be a bit hit and miss but no doubt Mr Blackwell will have an excuse (err reason)

 

[TonyAgana]

Can't the same argument be applied to the reasoning behing why Billy didn't score goals for us?

The reason Billy didn't score goals for us is that he was not good enough, spent too much time on his backside and was caught offside more than any other player I have known!!!

When he played at Blackpool on 30/9/80 - Trenton Wiggan was caught offside around 25 times - i.e. once every 3-4 minutes, which must be some sort of record.

I bow to your superior Knowledge Darren, Not a lot to choose between Trenton and Billy then!:thumbup:

 

[torridon]

...ah yes. You've completely ignored the point I was trying to make though.
