[Bladesthorpe]

Hello, Stegosaurus here,

Derby's record edging ever closer. Reckon we're gonna single-digit in this season. I actually think we'll be lucky to crack 5 points. In reality, we should be on 1 point.... it's only thanks to a dodgy penalty we got something at Fulham.

We ain't played at Fulham numpty.

 

[sjl]

Got to eel for Eze, score that against any other team and that would have been a class goal! Looked like a goal from training.

 

[bartman]

Norwood and Ampadu there ought to be ashamed of themselves

More Ampadu. He just didnt try to defend it even foul Eze

 

[FredZeppelin]

Can anyone, seriously, take another 20-odd games of watching this characterless, walking shit?
Fucking Hell, we don't even compete!

 

[INTERUNITED]

The players have stopped playing for Wilder, I can only see one outcome now unfortunately.

 

[TJ blade]

Now that is a footballer and we spent the same kind of money on McBurnie and Brewster

Correct, at the end of the day he's bought a load of shit, sorry exspencive shit!!

 

[Kev Gee]

Come on Wilder. Time to admit you've taken us as far as you can.

 

[jt64]

Why the fuck did nobody foul Eze

 

[A Storm of Blades]

This is the most spineless blades performance I think I’ve ever seen. Wilder needs to get the rockets up some arses at half time. Appalling

Fire rockets? He’s as gutless as them.

 

[Varkanoid]

I cant watch anymore I've turned it off. Just relegate them now.

Going to play FIFA 21 instead of watching 2nd half, currently got Sheffield United top of the PL, Beat Everton 8-1 and stuffed Liverpool 2-0. One can dream.

 

[HydeParkBlade]

This is the most spineless blades performance I think I’ve ever seen. Wilder needs to get the rockets up some arses at half time. Appalling

Wilder has lost the dressing room, so I can't see that happening

 

[Medlock]

Ezre danger man. Should have been tugged on halfway,
Laughable

 

[CyloCybin]

Absolutely embarrassing. Humiliating to watch. Nervous, cowardly style of football that makes us look like the AI on Fifa set to easy. Eze runs from his own half and just passes it into the net. Pfffffft

I'm so sick of it now. Something big has to change. I'm a massive fan of Wilder but he's clearly not doing a very good job here now. How anyone can deny that I've no idea

 

[HeySethUTB]

Now that is a footballer and we spent the same kind of money on McBurnie and Brewster

Top post. Cheaper than both of em.

 

[Mumbo]

eziest goal he’ll ever score

 

[Bladesman98]

What the fuck was that. Half arsed uninterested shite

 

[Melton Blade]

Well at least we can send Ampadu back. Ollie that was a pathetic effort...

 

[BettingBlade]

Ethan Ampadu is Dean Hammond levels of shit.

 

[Chris the Blade]

But I can guarantee some on here still want Wilder to stay

 

[haich1889]

Making me feel sick

 

[chipsncake]

Norwood and Ampadu oh dear.
He has to bring Baldock on for Ampadu.

 

[Headshrinker]

Not even the most optimistic idiot can see any chance of a revival now.

Time to build for next season and give a few youngsters a few games as well.

Wilder might be the best man for next season but can he survive losing every game?

 

[Nagima]

The biggest issue is our formation. 1 in CM is not working. All it is doing is forcing us to go wide where they are prepared for us so the ball goes backward. When was the last time we saw a pass from the middle played into the feet of a striker?. It's all two predictable and we need to get on the front foot and have a bit of variety in our play

 

[robbiez666]

Shocking

Palace just gave us the ball and then waited to counter after we passed it back and sideways repeatedly.

Norwood - Awful
Fleck - Poor
Ampadu - Rubbish
Basham - Poor

Our midfield is a car crash.

Wing backs are a mess. Their first touch is poor. McGoldrick spends most of his time in midfield but then Fleck and Norwood are stood in front of our defence. No one goes passed the rather pointless striker, who to be fair to Mousset at least seems a little bothered today.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Get some of the youth team in. How can they be any worse than this lot just stood ball watching. What a load of shit!!

 

[ChalkyBlade]

You would hope a half time pep talk will help. Can't see it. We just look poor. Commitment is their, quality and decision making is not. I wish I had the answer. PS shit.

Where is the commitment?

 

[SUFC Guy]

Some right Anchors on here. Norwood having his best game in months and he still gets ripped to bits. Fleck improving as well but let's slate them all.

I will say that Amapdu needs to go back. Stevens needs resting. Osborne is a trier but he too lightweight.

This game is gone. We move on to the next one with hopefully a few much needed additions to help boost morale and creativity with a dusting of finishing please.

 

[Bladesman98]

Well at least we can send Ampadu back. Ollie that was a pathetic effort...

I’ve defended Norwood before but it’s a bit of a common story with him now. Shying away every time.

 

[Montymagic]

We are going down with two points.
No way are we even going to manage a draw against anyone let alone a bloody win.

This will be in the history books forever.

Embarrassing

 

[FifeBlade]

Norwood and Ampadu can fuck off

Agree, defended their second goal like they do not give a fu*k. Well guys, we still care and will be here long after you are shipped out to cut the wage bill. Buck your fricking ideas up, you are wearing a blades shirt, should mean the world to you, clearly it doesn't!
