Garbage

[Shrblade]

Pathetic. If anyone thinks we are getting promoted they are deluded. Football is all about the midfield. Ours is shite. Norwood is a liability- we will never do anything with in CM. End of. Manager should be able to work it out.

 

[The Bear]

Agrree, total crap.

Perhaps we're trying to do a Northampton, Wolves, Sunderland - successive relegations.

 

[Jan Age]

Same players … serving up the same level of performance that they did for the majority of last season and some of our fans will come on here and defend it.
Need to clear out some of the loyalist players quickly and bring in some who are fresh, confident, motivated and open to ideas.

 

[BirleyBlade!]

2 words: Wank Blades.

 

[bromtom]

Bit early, have a rest FFS

Third game under the current manager, first game against anyone approaching decent.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

The worlds shittest plan to give a notoriously slow starting manager

2 preseason games and
No signings

gonna get worse before it gets better I fear

Post update​

Sheffield United 0-1 Birmingham
Sky Sports have given Birmingham debutant Tahith Chong their man of the match award.
I agree with them, but all four of Blues' defenders should also get a mention. The United forwards have hardly had a kick.

 

[JJBlade]

Too many players in the team who's first thought is to slow everything down and go backwards,

 

[bladesmanluke]

As clear as day we have only gone backwards from how utterly crap we were last season.

Bottom 6

 

[Lane Ender]

Bad starting line up sort it Slav

 

[The Bear]

Familiar position.

In the bottom three ffs...

 

[drblade]

Exactly the same players as last year. Unsurprising.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Wilder got one point from his four games lads

 

[Bath Blade]

Wilder got one point from his four games lads

Yes, but he was the worst manager in the world, apparently.

 

[Steelcitysenior]

Unlucky hitting the post with rebound straight to their player. Should have had a penalty, defence shakey. Early days, got better towards the end.UTB

[Rufus Smalls]

Might be just the right result to let the manager know how poor last year’s squad was. It will take time to reshape the team but we might need to be patient.

 

[Gerritforud]

Missed Enda massively in that game, Ben isn't a LB.

Pretty sure there was a thread like this after a certain Southend game in August 2016.

Norwood was better than Fleck who seems to have completely lost his way. Norwood found players in space.

He needs to realise quickly that half this lot have no longer got the balls for the fight. No matter what they do in training or how much smoke they blow up his arse.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

I thought there was a quote somewhere that we were looking to play forward and diagonal as our first thought.

Well all I saw was sideways and backwards 95% of the time

 

[true99blade]

No confidence in the manager from me, but I’ve had that stance since he came in. Didn’t look like the players knew what they were supposed to do.

It really was garbage. But it’s still only 1 game. We live in hope.

 

[LONDON_BLADE]

We looked rusty, they had the early goal and we lacked the guile to break them down.

Bit too early for the knee jerkers!! Let's see 10 games in before we go nuts.

 

[Chilttheblade]

Well the upside is we won’t have to protect an unbeaten home record

 

[The Vicar]

No team with LM & OB up front is getting promoted.
No team with BO and JR in the back 4 is getting promoted.
No team with JF & ON together in MF is getting promoted.
No team whose first thought is pass it back or square is getting promoted.
No team that has no efforts on target is getting promoted.

You will see a common thread!

I cannot believe that JS picked this team, from just looking at them on the sheet you could not see how it was going to work. Uninspiring, cautious & a total lack of creativity. It looked as bad as last year.

On that showing it will be league 1 within 3 years, we looked back to Adkins days.

BRING BACK WILDER ALL IS FORGIVEN!

 

[DifferentClass]

Zombie were a good song though... ah bollocks, that was the Cranberries!

 

[Shrblade]

It is not complicated.

Osborn is not a left back.
Norwood is League 2 on a good day.
Berge is class but needs to step up.
Burke. See Norwood.
Mousset. Sure he is a nice lad etc but never completed 90 mins? WTF.

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

My sentiments exactly. Utter trash. Just a replay of last season... same subs as well.

Ref let us down tremendously, Birmingham only came to rag our players, what was is 6 or 7 yellow cards for em?

Why can no one... other than Berge... attack and press into the opposition half? I really don't get it. Instead they playing it backwards and sideways just because they have a man approaching.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Before we even begin to discuss the shortcomings of the players, let's have a conversation about our 4-?????? formation.
