Losing leads.

[Willie Carlin]

Last season we lost a two nil lead at Swillsbro and when we bounced back everyone went ballistic. Today we lose a two goal lead and bounce back to take the points and a lot are moaning. Fickle or what?

I thought this thread as going to be about this:

The opposition and nature of the comeback matters here.

That said, people will always find something to moan about.

No, IMHO you have missed the point. At Swillsborough there was no intervening factor. It was part of the ebb and flow of the game. With this one, certain members of the crowd and this forum believe that a stupid unnecessary substitution caused us to have to bounce back when we needn't have. That's what the moaning is about. Nobody is moaning about the fact that we did bounce back.

I guess you had to be there to see how easily they got down the side of us Willie Carlin

I suppose Some don’t need much to start moaning. Too many would be managers picking fault. At Swillsbro the sub Chris brought on scored our bounce back goal. Brilliant substitution by Chris. All the moaning makes yer bollocks ache.

I was there frechy and what I did see for the most part was a good footballing display by United. We won!! No need for all this moaning.

Sorry I missed the on my post. I know you was and I agree wholeheartedly with you. There isn’t much to moan about being a blade at the moment. Some people can’t be pleased.

If the Preston fans could have provided us with 2 minutes of comedy bouncing it would have been better.

There’s a massive difference. At Hillsborough we were under the cosh massively. We just couldn’t get to grips with Wednesday at all and deservedly they got the equaliser. To hit back straight away like we did killed them stone dead.

Yesterday, Preston couldn’t get to grips with us at all until we changed the formation and made the subs which invited the uneccesary pressure.

It may seem like moaning, and I suppose it is, but from my point of view it isn’t it’s just an observation I and others have made from the game. I don’t think anyone can criticise Wilder based on his overall performance because let’s be honest he’s been fantastic.

Let’s not forget it’s only his second season managing at this level and he’s still relatively young in manager terms anyway. He’s still learning at this level and he knows that and I’m sure he knows as well as anyone where he can make improvements in his own management. And that’s not a criticism of anyone, it’s just the way it is

They briefly gave us a beautiful rendition of "Two nil and you f**ked it up!". Something that DH was only to pleased to mock them for when we scored the winner.

I was reading bedtime stories to the kids with ifollow on the phone silent so didn’t hear this. The kids did wonder where the words “fucking get in” appeared from in a Julia Donaldson book and I told them we must have bought the explicit edition.

 

[LE3blade]

its amazing how many explicit versions of childrens books are out there, together with tv programes before the 9pm watershed, pure coincidence that being read or viewed same time as the blades are playing. been there got the t shirt many times

It would've been comedy as well seeing them try it with 650 fans.

Oh I don't know, the Alchemy was off in the Beer Engine yesterday. Had a moan and got mine changed.

It's not the S6 swill.
B.
Preston are shit and hadn't scored away until yesterday.

IDEA.

Close this forum down, then we won't ever have to read any gentle criticisms.

Mine looks like this. If you find it, can you please return it to me?



You can keep the dog.

You've brought to mind a load of dogs stood in football scarves singing "we all hate leads and leads and leads"

All, sadly, outside the ground.

I am sure i saw John Lundstram hiding behind the corner flag when Preston scored their equaliser.I think he must have thought 'for Gods sake,Chris,don't put me on',if we lose this now after being 2-0 up,they will crucify me and feed me to the dogs.
