[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Good news is we're only one down when the game should be over. We can't be as bad 2nd half.

 

[Dutch Blade]

McBurnie & Norwood are the only players that are actually doing some good things, rest makes way too many mistakes. Mousset for McGoldrick please.

 

[Bobby b]

Been very poor, berge looks off it, we have no penetration left or right cant really slag off front 2, they haven't any thing to go off, I'd suggest lundstum for berge straight away for 2nd half

 

[HeySethUTB]

Pace needed so we can hit the channels and give them something to think about going the other way, their full back Justin is camped in our half.

 

[Kryten]

Totally different 2nd half upcoming after a rollocking and we win 2-1

 

[BritishSteel]

Enda is having a mare

Enda looks like he slept in his car last night. A 1990 Volvo 740Gl Estate to be precise.

Hope all is ok at home for him.

 

[KiwiBlabe]

Not sure we need to change the personnel. Think as a unit we need to match the work rate of Leicester. Not seen a team so consistently 1st to the ball against us . If we do get the ball we are looking poor as there are so few options.

Sure Wilder and Knill with the old school whiteboard will sort it 2nd half.

 

[The Hobott]

Fleck for Osborne

That's harsh - Osborn been ok - Stevens behind him had a stinker

 

[Blade58]

So far the highlight of the half had been where the camera went to Wilder on the tactics board.

View attachment 85874

thought he was playing draughts against Knill

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Credit where it’s due, they’ve been good at really giving us no time on the ball – McGoldrick’s barely able to control the ball before someone’s on him, and Norwood had been immediately closed down on the ball. But that in no way excuses the sloppiness on the ball – Baldock and Stevens in particular have been guilty of this. The goal was also extremely disappointing to happen after we’d survived plenty of warning signs.

I think Fleck on for Stevens with Osborn heading to LWB might be a worthwhile change. It probably shouldn’t be the only one. Maybe Berge to the middle and Lundstram for Norwood?

 

[Bobby b]

Let's hope they have another Bournemouth style 2nd half

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Biggest fault tonight is the lack of tactical awareness of Perez's movement. Nobody has picked him up all game, he just drops off and nobody responds.

 

[Nagima]

Leicester seem to have plenty of space in midfield to operate and look fluid with the ball. We on the other hand look sluggish. First touch is poor. And is Henderson continually kicking the ball long down the right. It's been headed clear everytime.

 

[Birley Blade]

No he isn’t.

I’ve looked at one lineup and it was on Instagram by our official page. Says L. Freeman is a sub. Whether he is or isn’t on the bench it’s not a very big fucking deal is it really?

The point still stands we need pace at the top of the pitch.

 

[BanderSerge]

McBurnie and McGoldrick have been absolute dog shit that first 45. Not one of them has been able to hold onto the ball.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Poor showing,they are just going thru motions,look at Egan's attempt to close the goal scorer down,half hearted.

Maybe we prefer drizzle to sunshine,they all look flustered and heat affected.

 

[Harryjohnson]

Enda looks like he slept in his car last night. A 1990 Volvo 740Gl Estate to be precise.

Hope all is ok at home for him.

That’s for too spacious for a goods night sleep, a 1969 Austin mini sounds a bit more appropriate

 

[Willglynning]

Anyone else heard that it’s Luke Thomas’ debut?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

H/T team talk is easy:

"On the way down we passed East Midlands airport. Sort your sens out or you won't be needing it next season".

 

[Bladesman98]

They don’t have to worry about us on the break that’s the problem, if we had an interested Mousset up front they wouldn’t be so comfortable

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Up to now we are really disjointed and seem to be struggling to link midfield with the attackers. Hopefully it will get sorted at half time.

 

[boss hog]

They won't be getting a couple of days off again.

 

[jono_t2000]

Let's hope they have another Bournemouth style 2nd half

Rodgers can't help but tinker with their formation at half time. Let's hope he fucks it up again for them.

 

[Blade58]

Lunny for Berge
Sharp for Mcburnie
Fleck for Osborne

Osborne for me is the only one that has put himself about with an energy sadly missing from the rest of them

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Anyone else heard that it’s Luke Thomas’ debut?

Been doing my nut in too.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Very flat... that’s the only way I can describe our performance so far. Didn’t expect that at all. Thought we’d be bang up for it.
Having said that I think we’ll be much better post the HT CWAK “team talk”
If we score early the momentum changes... come on the Blades!!

 

[FriethBlade]

I'd bring Moose on for Didzy and run at Morgan who looks a stone overweight.

 

[Willglynning]

Been doing my nut in too.

Next we’ll be hearing about how Wolves are really good in the second half.

 

[BritishSteel]

That’s for too spacious for a goods night sleep, a 1969 Austin mini sounds a bit more appropriate

That`s where Scott Carson sleeps.

 

[derfblade.3]

The players look about as interested about the Eurowank League as i do. Have a day off lads.
