I love Didzy and he is a pleasure to watch, but KG is right about that chance - he simply had to score. Goal scoring is his Achilles heel, but, I guess if he had this ability, alongside his vision and technical ability, he’d have played for Barcelona!

We have a few who suffer from the same Achilles heel mate
 
I still remember the last time I did the corporate thing at the Lane and a mixture of Tony Currie being pissed as a fart and Gage's shite working man's club shtick as compere really did make me cringe...

We were League One at the time and everything about our corporate offering smacked of league one...

I'd hoped we'd moved on...

We produced exactly one great chance in that game. It should've been buried but the only other half decent chance I can think of was Brewster near the end. Now think of Chelsea, one of them slips in a one on one, one skies it after it bounces back off Ramsdale, the break for the second goal, they produce multiple good chances to get a goal.

It's not enough to come away from every game having had exactly one good chance and then saying "the strikers need to be more clinical". No one's that fucking clinical. And even if McGoldrick's finishing isn't good enough, he's the only player we have with any chance of producing something out of nothing. He's the only striker who actually joins the strikers and midfield together.

Kevin Gage has posted some decent takes in the past but this is beyond myopic. The defence is in tatters, we produce one good opportunity a game if we're lucky, and the only guy on the team who can actually consistently beat a man with some skill is to blame? Give over.

Yep. Totally.

Watching us this season and the biggest issue we have is without doubt is Didzy's finishing... FFS...
 
We’d have lost 2-1 Kev and been even more pissed off!! 🙈

He didnt say he couldn't cut it in the Championship. He said the top end of the Championship. He may well be correct. Whilst Didzy has the technical ability will a new manager feel he is not athletic enough for a full championship season if the formation changes

He’s currently cutting it in a terrible side in the Premier League.

There is nothing whatsoever to suggest he can’t cut it at the top of the championship, certainly not missing one header.

The more I read of Kevin's posts the more I hate myself for wasting my own time. Blade or not, the guy is a plonker for a variety of reasons.

I'll never forgive him for celebrating in front of us when he played for Villa. I reacted accordingly and got ejected from Villa Park. ☹️☹️
 
I don't live around Sheff these days so I don't get the Gage-hate. I only tend to tune in to his talk on United and I've found him relatively fine on that score on the whole. I seldom bother with stuff on masks, brexit etc, but that's not why I follow ex-United players on Twitter so their views on these things are largely irrelevant to me.

I don't agree with the last part, but I do agree with the first bit.

Strikers get away with it to be fair. That miss was every bit as elementary and critical as the Henderson error vs Liverpool last season. It cost us the match.

We were in the ascendency at that point and a goal would have meant we were in the ascendency and at parity within the overall game and had all the momentum going our way.

If that went in it would have given us even more impetus, they were not playing well either and would have felt under even more pressure.

He's probably my current favorite United player with Billy but his miss more or less confirmed our exit from this season's FA Cup. When you think of the half chance Billy got vs West Brom, it was infinitely more difficult than the one Didzy missed.

Don't matter today mate.

Having the remotest concern about Gvt approach or communication, and trying to keep open minded about it all, renders you a nutter burning down 5G masts in the eyes of the mob.

I’m not sure he’s open minded Dav, but it’s a difficult time for all.

With the exception of his great goal against his former club, Villa, Gage really was a poor player for us. Clearly, he had a rapport with Bassett, but sooner the likes of Pembo, Wilder, Hill, Ward, Bradshaw, etc. over him any day.

Not sticking up for him, but he did win player of the year in the 94/95 season and scored a few goals, Luton away?

He's not wrong though, is he? Not many players make it to 33, nevermind 34.

The mean retirement age for a footballer is 35. That would suggest that more than half (I know, mean vs median etc) make it to 35. To back that up, are you suggesting that Chris Basham calls it a day at the end of the season? He turns 33 in July.

Wow, I didn't remember/ever know that. I was in Australia for the whole of that season, so followed through a weekly sports paper (pre internet of course), which is my defence. My memory isn't great and I thought he left before we went down. Cheers.

We're talking about the top level of the game though. If you are top 6 in the Championship, then you are just as good as lower bottom half Premier League. Do you think Bash will play 46-50 games next year ({cups included), if you expect that then you'll have a nasty shock.

Clubs generally make plans to replace players when they start hitting 30-31. Many players have to drop leagues to make it in the game at 34.

To be fair at the first game of the season when we beat Watford 3-0 he was awful, looked so unfit and unable to run it seemed.

Actually thinking back, I did attend one before I went, think it was Notts County (1-3) and my word we were crap. I think Notts County beat us in the PL under Warnock too, after Agana had punched in our goal! Must have been one of his last goals for us.

He improved markedly after that. He had an excellent season and deservedly won POY. He was playing right back but covered ground like a modern wing back, frequently popping up in the opposition penalty area.

You didn't say that though. You said "Not many players make it to 33, nevermind 34" and I was pointing out that was incorrect.

Basham will play every game next season...wherever Wilder ends up.

Agana got a great reception that day then proceeded to play crap despite County winning.
 
Did mcgoldrick really say "MY BAD " ...Is that a thing ...I've never heard it before....is it from some low rent American sitcom .......I will forgive him for missing on Sunday...however my bad is totally unforgivable absolute helmet

The most worrying thing here is that there's a facebook group called 'Blade2Blade'. Sounds like a shit 90's pop band.

where as compared with Blade2Blade which just sounds shit, the other Blades groups on facebook simply are shit. It's getting worse too mind!

Yes, whatever his current view on Didzy and the long term, I rated Gage highly as a full back for us. And we've had some real duffers in the years since Len Badger.

I’ve got to say my recollection from the west end was that he used to get pelters every home game for being slow, overweight and generally crap. I’m amazed he’s hung around.

Guy is a prick, but to be fair when he first signed for us he was shit but then went on to have a great season scoring some blinders and being one of our best players.
