[fifty shades of blade]

Gerrin!

 

[BlairBlade]

GOAL Blades 2 Chelsea 2

Please stay.

 

[Dieforthreepoints]

5 mins added time even though robinson was down for 3 mins?

was called before he went down to be fair, but he walked so we could run lmao

 

[SUFCinks]

Good game. All the lads played well.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Keen Blade]

Get rid of that feckin goalie

 

[SLB]

Good game. All the lads played well.

More shots and more shots on target than the opposition. That's a rarity.

 

[BangorBlade]

Get rid of that feckin goalie

Id put Fodders back in for remaining games

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Fckuing brilliant showed passion desire play like that in championship nowt to worry about massive round of applause hope Robbos ok

Never give up Blades

Chances are all front 3 will be gone (includes Archer)
That will take some replacing

 

[blades78]

Mcburnie dominated today, maybe the Prince was correct about players upping their game when their contracts are running out, same with Bogle and Osborn. What the Prince forgets is they are more likely to be trying to impress other clubs rather get another contract here

 

[Nedski]

We're not gonna have stats like this too many times this season. They were there for the taking.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[This City Is Ours]

That’s more of a Sheffield United performance that we all can get behind. Dug in, played some nice stuff at times and got at a very decent opponent. Frustrating that if we’d played like that every game this season we’d have double the points we have now. Osborn has his limitations but if the whole team had his spirit and energy we’d be mid table.

True but let’s hope no pissing about pre season get the squad sorted and come out firing

We have left it late but what I liked about today's performance was that instead of being Chelsea's bitch for 90 minutes we went after them.

It's only a draw I know but good to be a Blade again tonight.

 

[BladesOnToast]

was called before he went down to be fair, but he walked so we could run lmao

So 5 mins injury time called before Robbo held up play for 3 mins.

Then a goal, VAR check, delay for Anel to get booked etc, and still whistle on 98mins?

I wouldn't be complaining so much if 100+ mins matches weren't the norm these days... (when we're ahead but on the back foot)

 

[AWetFlannel]

We're stuck with him I'm afraid. CW doesn't admit to mistakes.

Admitting that he's not very good (if it even was CW who pushed to sign him) won't get him sold. He's under contract and will be earning a decent wage that nobody will want to take up.

It's not just as easy as selling someone, who the fuck would buy him?

 

[bakeblade]

I'd definitely bring back Wes, Grbic needs taking out of the firing line for a few games.

I rest my case

That's very true but I meant stuck with him as a starter as I don't see CW dropping him.

 

[Liaminho9]

Considering Grbic is under contract next season, and Wes is not… why are fans clamouring for Wes to start the remainder of the games?
Realistically, we’re down.
Why waste appearance fees etc. on a player that will not be here in 2 months time?

You can argue the same about a lot of players, admittedly - but with a lot of them, there isn’t a viable alternative?

That's a strange way of looking at things. So today you wouldn't have played Bogle, Holgate, Osborne, BBD, McB, McAtee and Archer? Crazy. And Grbic is shit and needs dropping.

Because it’s obvious this fella ain’t a goalkeeper?
