[Chris the Blade]

If we lose this match Wilder should walk...

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

We have a large group of players clinging on to their championship careers by the skin of their teeth

Most of them don't look out of place here

There can't be another squad in the championship comparable to this

Like a bunch of fucking invalids

 

[Niallllll]

To collect so many old and unfit players is a gift that I really dont want us to possess

Don’t worry Wilder trusts the squad this year…

 

[Thrice]

You have to wonder at this point, does Wilder even have a matchplan against teams where he's clear favourite to win? I see absolutely no attacking patterns.

 

[SB_90]

of course. we have been dreadful. i can ignore that. we shouldnt be subjected to wave after wave of attack by a L2 team

wish RND would just leave. its howler after howler. he's a shadow of the player he was. i thought cardiff in fa cup & Bristol city under selles was the final straw

 

[LS5 Blade]

Its definitely the 'heavy shirt' tonight and not the masterclass in tactics

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

He hasn't got a fkin clue

 

[Super Furry Blades]

Bumble _ bee _ blade will see the positives

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Our Midfielder would be great at hide and seek

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Its definitely the 'heavy shirt' tonight and not the masterclass in tactics

Thought the reason we signed a bunch of pensioners was to get leaders in the team that wont be affected by a 'heavy shirt'

 

[LiamBG]

If we lose this match Wilder should walk...

Payday Chris won’t walk will he! He’s just signed a bumper contract

 

[Jan Age]

You have to admit at times we are a really docile watch aren’t we?

If we don’t start with our strongest 11 we are really poor

Blaster is no midfielder at the minute he’s a 10 at best

Cannon & Campbell both poor

I could continue

The daft we are bringing Shackleton on tells us all everything we need to know

And we are playing an extremely outdated style of football particularly in the final third

 

[gooseh]

Oh dear lord

 

[blades78]

I've not seen a clear pattern of play in terms of attacking in any games this season. I don't think the players know, we look so disjointed. No link up between midfielders and forwards whatsoever.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Do we practice giving the ball away?

We don't need to practice that.

 

[Woodthorpe blade]

Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha

 

[sportsmanblade]

its fucking horrendous i wouldn't bother they've jus brought shackleton on

Does anyone have a free live stream link for tonight’s match?

 

[gooseh]

Oh dear lord

Thank god for that

 

[Proper Blade]

It's painful watching RND play. Looks like an amateur playing professional football

 

[Sean Thornton]

Arblaster keeps falling over the ball and now none existent second half

Said it before he’s fine when he has time and space.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Think this performance has firmly pushed me into the Wilder out side, we just can't be getting dominated by a league two side, having 1 shot on target with pretty much a first team out

 

[Nedski]

You have to wonder at this point, does Wilder even have a matchplan against teams where he's clear favourite to win? I see absolutely no attacking patterns.

He's not had a matchplan since he ditched overlapping centrebacks.

This is absolutely dire, we're being outplayed, out muscled, out run by Fleetwood who have had more shots than us and their keeper has made ONE save.

Wilder will come out saying he's disappointed with his players tonight but he's a fucking embarrassment and a shadow of the manager he was a few years back.

 

[Mario1889]

I would have liked a cup run this year but the playoffs have to be our priority this season.

 

[Niallllll]

I've not seen a clear pattern of play in terms of attacking in any games this season. I don't think the players know, we look so disjointed. No link up between midfielders and forwards whatsoever.

No different to last season somehow some people seem incredibly slow to catch on that wilder has lost it.

 

[sportsmanblade]

we are awful look how lazy these back 4 are how deep they are sat get gone

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Were getting a thrashing

 

[sportsmanblade]

tanganga and mcguiness pinging diagonals is enough to make me jump off viaduct

 

[Æthelstan]

Fleetwood Town are more athletic and lively than us.

Good fucking god.

 

[ATL Recs]

Embarrassing beyond belief

 

[Geordie Blade]

On the ropes.

Against Fleetwood Town.
