[Karaoke Blade]

At this moment in time I’d be pleased with a point from this, too many changes in midfield here, what with MGW coming back for his first game and the heart of mid being swapped, I’m not surprised by the disconjoined perf

I'd be delighted with a point away against a top 6 team.

 

[gordoncharles]

How can anyone say Berge has been decent is beyond me.. but I do agree mgw was very poor also

Berge has been tidy in possession, but he just plays safe balls all the time. Nothing which might split the Huddersfield defence, it's all in front of them.

This might be ok if he was only there to screen the back three, but when he gets the ball I don't think something's going to happen for us. And I never have.

Edit: Oh and he's still bloody slow, but he can't help that

 

[Gretsch Blade]

For me it'd be Illy on for MGW. That's where our play has broken down all 1st half

 

[Blade58]

Disappointing first half
Hecky needs to tweak somat

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Concerning thing for their non goal was the fella heading it only being challenged by Fleck who'd got no chance.

If you have ever had an appraisal at work, it is usually a review of how well you have done over a historical period, usually 12 months. Our players are at work and my appraisal of mcburnie over the past 12 months is that he has shown me little and needs to improve a hell of a lot. I hope he does.

That’s completely fair, I just don’t like the view of fans that are ready to jump on him at any given moment. Your assessment is fair & like you said we hope he improves

 

[metalblade]

Had to out of shoutbox Berge shit McBurnie shit you'd think there was only those two playing. Yes Berge has been dreadful McBurnie hasn't been bad we need Berge off then we might get into the game. MGW giving the ball away every time he gets it. Have to get better the whole team have been poor it all stems from midfield.

 

[coolasanidiot]

McB got to be hooked - he's worse than bad.

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

That’s completely fair, I just don’t like the view of fans that are ready to jump on him at any given moment. Your assessment is fair & like you said we hope he improves

Trust me i have nowt against the lad, nothing personal, if he scores today I will post a pic of me eating a large slice of humble pie!

 

[blades14]

Bring Hourihane on too for fleck, get some balls in the box

 

[JPSharpy93]

Definitely opportunities to run behind their back line. Might be easier to throw on Jebbison and play on the counter than to make 2/3 changes in the middle

 

[Overthehills]

Couple of questions to be answered I think, whilst trying not to be over critical. All things said and done, we are playing away from home..against in in form, we'll drilled, Uddersfield outfit.

Potential areas of improvement for me would be....

A. The pitch is zippy and they like to push on. We need a bit more control in the middle of the park, which in turn would allow MGW to play in a more suited, advanced position on the pitch. In that spell where MGW was higher up the pitch, he did what he does well... in linking up with Bogle, Billy and even McB... With this in mind, do we bring Norwood on and take of Fleck or a yellow carded Berge.

B. Better management of set pieces. The height is a problem and whilst Robinson hadn't had his worse game, we did see one error in which he and Sander didn't talk... Do we bring on a bit of height and give a debut to goode? He likes to push on a bit as well. Would his height and athleticism give us a better foothold.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Big miss by Billy

Edit: Oh and he's still bloody slow, but he can't help that

Hes thread multiple passes through the centre, that have both gone forward and cut through the midfield

Obviously doesn't suit the agenda that hes a donkey though

 

[Jon Bon II]

You need glasses. Baldock threw him to the ground.

'Threw him to the ground' Powder puff fall. It's football not tiggy fall-down.

 

[Blacksea]

Lad went down with a tiny bit of contact and then was interfering with play from an offside position by hampering Wes. Perfectly good decision by the ref.

Ward tries to con a penalty from normal corner pushing and shoving you see happening every game.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Fleck is so bad league one standard

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I really don’t understand stadiums that leave stands empty. Here & Birmingham have 2/3 stands partially full then a completely empty lower tier

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Just a few moves to come off and one nil will do nicely. UTB

 

[originaltrueblade]

McBurnie should have scored

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

The move....not the finish

 

[blades14]

Get him off now

 

[Blad]

Honest to God how is that man a pro footballer!!!

 

[Rufus Smalls]

McBurnie should have scored

Think the ball was a bit behind him to be fair

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Crowd getting a bit upset...love it

 

[Captain2]

Baldock struggling out of position

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

McBurnie should have scored

McBurnie did excellent with that.

It was just a shocking pass from Sharp.

FallowfieldBlade, am I right?

 

[Bell4]

Ffs Hecky

Do something about this

 

[drblade]

Is Sander any good? I honestly still don’t know.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Anything more than a point here would be a massive bonus, given the way we are playing.
