For all those blaming Moore

[VictoryBlade]

It certainly wasn't his fault we lost. He played well first half but us fans always have to have a scapegoat maybe we should look at JLT for losing his man for the first goal? Maybe we should look at Brooks for missing a sitter? Maybe our 2 central defenders are really really not good enough? Maybe Cooper should have go to one of the shots. Yes he should have passed to Campbell but who can blame him for shooting. Wilder didn't sub him but who with Tin Can(non) But lets blame Moore eh?

Typical loser blade. That's why we never achieve

 

[DronnieBlade]

Am so fuckin sick and tired of having players at the top of pitch who can’t pass wind and turnover possession at the most alarming of rates.

It wasn’t his fault we lost but KM was our worst player by a landslide today. Shocking performance where pretty much nothing he did came off.

I’m over today already.

We would have got 15-20 points next season.

Mackams will break Derbys record.

Unfortunately for Sunderland, I think you are right, I saw nothing in them that gives me confidence they can make much of a go next season (still, they were good enough to scrape past us and Cov). The consolation prize today is avoiding a humping week in and week out next season by the opposition and VAR.

Wasn’t his fault that we lost, but he gave the ball away horrendously prior to the winning goal and spectacularly fucked up at least two superb attacking opportunities.
Was decent in the air for the first 60 mins but for an international striker, he’s very bad with his feet.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

That moment in the second half where Moore and Campbell broke away on the counter attack was the turning point for me. We were up against it as Sunderland had dominated the second half up until that point. All Moore had to do was pass it and Campbell was one on one with the keeper. Score then, 2-0, and a sucker punch against the run of play that would've killed Sunderland's growing confidence. Instead he stalled, delayed, faffed and lost the ball. That for me was the reason we lost the match as much as anything. Harsh to blame one player but that should've been signed, sealed, delivered, promotion. Moore blew that golden chance and we created next to nothing after that but for the Brooks chance.

 

[100% part time blade]

From my seat against the back wall, there were a few minutes where I thought Tom Cannon had misplaced that pass to gift them a winning goal.
I’m genuinely glad for the guy that it WASN’T him! If Cannon had come on, knocked Anel out reducing us to 10 men, and then passed the ball to Sunderland to give them a match-winning goal, I think the bloke who sits behind me on the South Stand (who has a dim view of our purchase of Cannon) might just have exploded.

Watson already gone to Brighton. For me they need to sign at least half a dozen players to have a chance of staying up. Don't mind Sunderland as a club, but the likes of Wolves and West Ham are miles in front of them at the current time.
Edit. The odds on all 3 promoted clubs going down are only 2 to 1.

[Blade56]

That was bang in front of us, you could see the indecision. He had the pass to Campbell but chose to blast it at defender who got back in his split moment of indecision. It was like slow motion.
As for Brookes they were not simple chances. Again in front of us ball was bobbling and 1st slightly behind, neatly got rebound off keeper

Never ever going to happen with Wilder. He should think long and very very hard about his ‘losing team’, that he managed to a loss today almost against all odds. Defeat well and truly snatched from the jaws of victory. Hopefully the last we see in a blades shirt of certain pitiful players that have let us down in all the key matches this season

 

[RedandWhite]

Moore and Wilder are to blame. They all played fantastic in the first half. He could of passed twice to Campbell for goals. He spent the last 30 mins passing backwards, gave the ball away for the winner and literally every single touch in that second half was 6ft away from him. He is not a good footballer. However how the fuck he is still on the pitch until the 95th minute is all on Wilder.

Wilder is the man that set us up to sit deep it was his decision for us to sit back and invite pressure.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Wilder is the man that set us up to sit deep it was his decision for us to sit back and invite pressure.

I'm not 100% on this. Losing Hamer meant we lost the only creative outlet we had on midfield. Souza was playing simple passes, Peck was erratic and inconsistent on the ball and Brewster didn't do much with it but put in the best defensive display on the wing that he's ever put in for us. As soon as we lost Hamer we lost any creativity from midfield. As soon as we lost Campbell we lost our only threat up front and maybe Cannon should have come on instead to give Moore an outlet. Brooks for Brewster should have been O'Hare instead to help Moore. I don't think Wilder set us up defensively as such, but I do think he made the wrong subs. He arguably took off the right players, I'm guessing he took off Brewster because he was offering nothing on the ball, but he brought on the wrong ones at the wrong time. Davies should have come on for Peck sooner, perhaps when Hamer went off instead of Brewster. He'd have shored things up and calmed things down as Peck was starting to lose what little composure he had left.

True, he should have squared the ball first time into the box for Campbell to beat the keeper.

But that would have meant using his left foot to do that and he is one of many players in our team, and professional football for that matter, who are so one footed it’s a joke.

Instead he had to spend a vital second or two moving the ball onto his right foot to shoot and by that time the defender was in position to block the ball.

 

[Jon B]

His pass completely opened up the defence. Our defence. In injury time. Don Givens moment.

 

[niktheblade]

It was almost a certainty that he was the reason we lost. Yes we were bad in the second half, but giving the ball away like that in the 95th minute while one of our defenders was off the pitch is absolutely inexcusable. I hope that's the last time I see that fraud in a united shirt.

It was 1-1 and we were under pressure, but with extra time looming, who knows what could have happened

On the whole Moore played well.

He was superb in the first half! Won everything in the air, held up play, kept us moving up the pitch and made runs to create space, not sure if you were there but tv gives a very narrow view of a players contribution. Second half he changed his role and was ineffective and cautious - that has to be down to Wilders instructions

 

[Caseh]

He has uses when he has a partner that's going to run off him, he's absolutely pointless when he doesn't have that.

Absolutely awful with the ball at his feet.

 

[finlaytheblade]

Calm down Mrs Moore

He's technically not up to championship standard as yesterday showed again and now losing his strong points of physicality and aggression.
Not only that he has 2years left on his contract.! Yes 2 years!.
Come on Keiffer prove me wrong.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Moore was pressing for two for large parts of the game because after the first goal Campbell seemed knackered and stopped helping.

He can’t help being told he has to play the full game (presumably to match their height at set pieces) after already covering a lot ground.

The error was of course a disaster (perhaps just physically and mentally exhausted?), but so was not getting our concussion sub on in time and Watson running into the space that Vini would have been in if he wasn’t filling in for Anel because for the second time in 10 minutes we didn’t get our substitute ready fast enough.

Superb has many interpretations.

Agree was better in 1st half (not by much) - not at all sure how you saw his role change 2nd half ?

His feet along with his decision making , however, was dreadful throughout from row 15 .

Not scapegoating him but on the day 3/10 was about right sadly and by a distance our worst player.

UTB

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Maybe blame the owners and Wilder for spunking 10m on a striker so wank that Moore has to play the full game because there's no competent and trusted alternative

 

[mackempaddy]

FWIW from an opposition POV, I don’t think Moore played badly. It’s very easy to direct your frustration at him given he gave the ball away, but he was a constant outlet and knowing he’d win the long ball every time caused us a real headache.

I actually think it worked in our favour L09 going off injured, as Moore v 09 all game would’ve been a complete mis-match.

 

[Blade59]

Thought he played well in some respects but he does turn over possession with alarming regularity mainly due to the slowness of his decision making. Fell gutted for him making the mistake as he has to live with that. Shouldn't be made a scapegoat though because of it.
