[fifty shades of blade]

So was McGoldrick

Mcgoldrick had skills, morris just falls down a lot and cries like a fanny

 

[Shirty Blade]

Whatever your least favourite flavour is. It was that bad

 

[Frank the tank]

It's not a stand alone performance though, is it?
The quality and entertainment factor is zero in almost every game despite having quality and entertaining players. So there can only be one reason for the boring, pathetic, mind numbing crap that Sheffield United fans have to watch almost every week.

A season in the Championship for a club relegated from the Premier League should at least see ENTERTAINING PLAY regardless of anything else, there should be players who are a cut above the Championship and show it on a number of occasions instead of having to scrap and brawl our way to boring results week after week.

It should at least be a chance to tweak a few things, to try to get some kind of entertaining pattern to our play to become a better Premier League club if we go back up again.
But no, win boring, draw boring, lose boring is always the first thing on Wilder's mind, and the Prem will be just as big an embarrassment as it has been previously, indicating that the manager and the club in general never learns fuck all

If it's that bad do something else

 

[Harry's Game]

Alexa..play Depeche Mode .

 

[Big.Dane.w]

They had one decent chance

Soz vorderman

Maybe I exaggerated but the fact still stands, we were lucky today and against Portsmouth to not have been a couple of goals down by halftime.

 

[JJBlade]

If it's that bad do something else

Well, well, here he is.
Woe betide any person wanting a bit of fun, entertainment and to see a bit of quality
But I suppose your Sheffieldness makes you refuse to accept such things.........A bit like Wilder's

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Great win Peck made a world of difference

 

[Bladeric]

Not sure about Doughty, but 100% on Morris. I'd love him in our team

Other way round for me personally

 

[jono_t2000]

Other way round for me personally

Same Doughty is class, perhaps only player with a better left peg than Burrows.

 

[MayorOJC]

Mcgoldrick had skills, morris just falls down a lot and cries like a fanny

Behave, 11 prem goals last season

 

[Bladeric]

Same Doughty is class, perhaps only player with a better left peg than Burrows.

Always liked him

You do you mate I don’t think any option I have will change your mind. I’ll just finish on the fact that that team we just played and beat were in the premier league last season also. We’re top and they’re bottom. How shit are we again??? Anyway have a nice weekend UTB

Like I said if you don't enjoy it, do something you enjoy
Have a bit of fun like you. Say
Life's too short

I never said we were shit
I said we're boring and there's no need for it

 

[Northyorksblade]

Great win, slowly took control of the games we brought more front foot players on

Hopefully we pick a less cowardly lineup for Leeds than the team we picked today otherwise it will cost us

Of course we will!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I never said we were shit
I said we're boring and there's no need for it

League table suggests we are doing something right. 13 games to go and 100 points isn't absolute fantasy.

 

[Westran]

Got a suggestion for JJBlade Danetheblade & jono_t2000. Why don't you all go for a beer together whenever the blades are playing, you can moan at each other to your hearts content. Maybe even get a ticket in the away end, or go to a Wendy pub.

 

[bakeblade]

Thought Holding looked good.

Very composed

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

And the simile of the year award goes to Stretch! That's epic! To clarify my mental image of the occasion what flavour jelly did you have in mind?

KY????

He's never got anything good to say
Doesn't come across as the most gregarious of characters but demands his football team are 'fun'

 

[Wireblade]

To be fair nobody on here was advocating a switch to a back 3 but it seems to have changed the game.
Let’s leave the tactics and setup to manager who has managed to win 72 points from 33 matches. He will get things wrong or certain players won’t perform well every week but he seems to be reacting decisively to this. Changes are much sooner than in his first spell or under Hecky.
If we were more open and entertaining I suspect that we wouldn’t be sat top of the league.
Great results all round today, enjoy!!!

 

[bakeblade]

If Wilder shits himself again against Leeds, like he did in the first game, were in trouble.

He's definitely changed. In 2019 we were front foot all day long. Remember the Brentford home game anyone?

Post flounce he's set up to sneak a win then defend like buggery. Effective but boring.

After today, back 3 is looking likely

Couldn't possibly be my gregarious nature that demands more fun and entertainment could it?

No, that obviously makes no sense at all

 

[Berkshire Blade]

A popular and generous man would be delighted we are pulling away slightly from 3rd regardless!

Your forum persona doesn't project that no

 

[Jon Bon II]

That's for the Fucher brothers in 77/78 .

And the 7/7 bombers!


Allegedly.

Look at what is happening to the team we played today this season. I will take this all day compared to that.
