Match Day Thread: The Mighty Blades v Birmingham City

[Large Mendonca]

It’s me and my wife’s wedding anniversary and we’re in Porto Colom.........and I’m gonna be checking the shoutbox every two mins

 

[SwissBlade]

Hope Freeman isn't injured. Just rested?

Possibly a knock. Not on the bench but Stevens is, however I’m guessing this is in case Johnson is bollocksed after an hour

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I’ll be watching my hotel bar in Zante.

Wouldn't you rather watch the match instead?

 

[BigBed]

Right lads, get thee sens out theer n prove thee sens!!!
COYWARW!!!!

 

[OrlandoexiledBlade]

Why is Billy always the one to get benched. He is our most consistent goal threat . Also whilst they did not score Satdi there was indication of their striking partnership starting to show understanding with interchange of passing, first touch lay offs etc. I cannot see us scoring tonight

That team doesn't need massive surgery, the obvious Fleck in for Lundstram but i fear this is too much at once

 

[robbiez666]

Brave and bold move which could completely backfire. It kind of smacks of trying to nullify the opposition which generally doesn't work well for us.

We'll see. A lot of changes thrown in together though. Hopefully, Johnson and Washington will repay the faith put in them.

 

[super_pig]

i’d be pretty stunned if that happened tbf

heh .. what do i know eh?
chris must have seen something in training.. if this doesn’t work out ..:/

 

[Bill Johnson]

Missing Billy already.

 

[Nade]

You know the atmosphere isn't up to much when you can hear the PROGRAMMES, THREE QUID bloke on the steam.

 

[Speedracer]

Useless picture on Sky & the atmosphere seems very odd. Is there a rule that we have to put 50 great balls into the box from wide positions before we are allowed to connect with one of them?
Still, only one team in it.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Washington’s looking lively, he’s rapid

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Johnson seems a bit too relaxed and not quite on the same wavelength of those around him. Takes time and minutes I suppose

 

[Steve.C]

Leon looks slow and lazy first half. Piss poor 1st half

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Well that was boring.

Get fucking Billy on.

 

[dazzlingblade]

Poor first half, keeping it ok but no movement at all, look a bit leggy and static so far

 

[FYT]

Leon looks slow and lazy first half. Piss poor 1st half

There it is - the sentence with Leon and lazy in it - utter tripe.

 

[FriethBlade]

No penetration. Fleck and Norwood are far too deep they need to get further forward and let the central defenders do the tippy tappy sideways stuff !

 

[Wards]

Need to run at them more and get them to commit some bodies. Move it quicker. Hardly any room though, they’re more than happy to park the bus.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Half-time 0-0

The good news. We’ve dominated possession and looked in control playing some nice passing.

The bad news. Loads of attacks but hardly even a half chance created. Although credit to Birmingham, they are defending really well and making it tough.

At the moment you can’t see either team scoring. However you would expect Birmingham to show more ambition second half, so maybe the game will open up. Birmingham have had some shots but they rarely have too many men forward so all their shots have been outside the box.

Definitely looks like whoever scores the first goal wins it.

 

[Steve.C]

There it is - the sentence with Leon and lazy in it - utter tripe.

Let’s see him run inside his marker and not hide behind

 

[Breakingblade]

You can tell the radio Sheffield commentator is new: "Billy Sharp is coming on, will it be Clark or Washington to come off?"

 

[FYT]

Let’s see him run inside his marker and not hide behind

You said he was lazy, he's not. Now you're changing tac. He's so lazy that he just tackled their left sided middy on the edge of our box.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Norwoods set piece deliveries have been pooooooorrrr tonight.

 

[FriethBlade]

Ifollow the biggest pile of crap ever.Gone from watching it by freezeframe, to listening to it, to now getting a message 'we are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Last time I spend a tenner on this rubbish and I guess there's no chance of a refund ?

 

[FYT]

Che Adams - that's what a lazy striker looks like.

Agree. Currently in Croatia. Ifollow wont let me have video despite paying for it. Al so Radio sheff commentary now interrupted with technical difficulties. Load of rubbish!! It gets worse the just put Wendy on ffs. Ah got edwards back on now.

 

[Steve.C]

Basham MOTM

 

[FriethBlade]

Now got intermittent video back with commentary from the Pig game!

 

[shrubbery]

From the sublime to the ridiculous these last two home games. Slow, ponderous, no penetration, awful set pieces and long balls from the usually excellent Norwood. This is proper shite, no wonder it is like a library in here and I’m writing messages on a forum during the game for fucks sake.
