[Keen Blade]

You can't grab someone's throat, it's a red card

Unless the victim is a Blade

 

[VictoryBlade]

Is the ref waiting for Fulham to score before he blows up for half time?

 

[71Blade]

Our left hand side is a problem we get done with long balls short interplays every time

 

[BobblesBlade]

Zero attempts at goal v their 10.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Our left hand side is a problem we get done with long balls short interplays every time

Thomas is positionally awful defensively and offensively

 

[Alan Gordon Partridge]

Thomas is poor

Agreed, looking useless

 

[Lawrence]

Well that was terrible

 

[Keen Blade]

Zero attempts at goal v their 10.

What method are we employing to attack ?

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Thomas is positionally awful defensively and offensively

He’s not had a good game. Looks short of confidence but there again the whole team looks terrible. Littered with unforced errors and miscommunication. We are pretty fucking awful to be honest.

 

[jono_t2000]

Let's be honest, we're just fortunate that Fulham have no bite in front of goal.

Apart from that we might as well be playing with no midfield... as it's hoofball for Archer and Mcburnie to chase.

(Special mention to Trusty who has got his head/foot on everything)

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Shocking 1st half performance. All best to Basham I hope that injury is not as bad as it looked.

 

[RobboBlade]

We’re gash relegate us now

 

[bakeblade]

Well that was terrible

We are bad, very bad

 

[BobblesBlade]

What method are we employing to attack ?

Answers on a postcard.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

We need to drop one of the strikers and play a midfield with some width. The wing backs are just constantly left exposed.

Play Norwood and Souza centrally with Macca and Hamer on the left and right

 

[Berkshire Blade]

We are shit.

Fulham are crap too. Against a good side this is another 8 nil performance

 

[bakeblade]

He’s not had a good game. Looks short of confidence but there again the whole team looks terrible. Littered with unforced errors and miscommunication. We are pretty fucking awful to be honest.

And we look like we are running in treacle

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

We are so vulnerable down the flanks and are living on the edge. There seems so little flueny to our play going forwards and McBurnie doesn't seem to be winning much.

Get well soon Bash!

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

You can't grab someone's throat, it's a red card

It was a very disguised thumb press on Trusty adams apple..........try it they are painfull.

Red Card missed by VAR

 

[ATL Recs]

Is the ref waiting for Fulham to score before he blows up for half time?

45 plus 14 plus other added on in added time blows at 60 mins what’s the problem

 

[bonobo]

Was planning on going fishing this afternoon, but can't find any reliable streams at the moment. If someone can help, please PM ? thanks

 

[Ukkonen]

Are we bad as in tactically Hecky has got it all wrong or are we bad as in we just don't have quality players no matter who the manager is?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Legs akimbo United.

 

[bakeblade]

We are so vulnerable down the flanks and are living on the edge. There seems so little flueny to our play going forwards and McBurnie doesn't seem to be winning much.

Get well soon Bash!

McB has had an absolute shocker

 

[ATL Recs]

What method are we employing to attack ?

Boot it

 

[bakeblade]

It was a very disguised thumb press on Trusty adams apple..........try it they are painfull.

Red Card missed by VAR

Never a red card

 

[Gerritforud]

Gutted for Bash and us, he is Mr Sheff United especially since Billy went.
Get well soon Bashambauer!

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Aside from horrific injury to sir Chris of Basham, happy to get to half time at nil nil. Trusty has looked pretty solid, and few good saves / takes from fodders. Hoping we can hang onto the ball better in 2nd half. Thomas looks low on confidence. Big fan of Bogle's, but he needs to make quicker decisions: that extra touch gives defenders time to block / re-position & nullify the threat.

 

[LS5 Blade]

The midfield pair of Norwood and Souza are too slow to play together. THey make the defence nervous by not be able to get into positions for simple passes.

The full back get done by simple passes behind them time after time.

Something needs to change, come on Hecky, you don't have N'Daiye to fluke us a victory here, you are gonna have to do it the hard way and deploy some tactics that give us a chance of scoring, cos as sure as shit they are going to if we play like that again 2nd half!

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Asaba crying out for us to change the shape on the radio.
