Match Thread MATCH DAY THREAD: The Mighty Blades v Bolton Wanderers

[Pinchy]

Fleck back in Baldock dropped

“Dropped” is not how it works when you have multiple games in a short period of time. I thought people might have noticed what Tufty does by now?

Perhaps not. Only in S2...

 

[RealMcCoy]

Yea

No it’s not. It’s squad management. He hasn’t been left out for any other reason.

Yeah, bet they were all lining up to volunteer not to play.
Pick me, pick me. I scored last week. Let someone else have a turn.
Jeez. Broken record Pinch

 

[Antonb]

Been crap so far

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Been crap so far

What, crap?

 

[sufcboy95]

Abysmal half. Terrible decision to play basham at rwb. Terrible decision to play sharp. This ref is a complete cock.
And ffs why can’t people use the in and out doors properly on the kop, f***ing idiots!!

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

I cringe when i see basham in midfield or thr rwb positions....

What happened to Sharp? Started the season decently but has been shite since. Cant hold up the ball, constantly falling looking for a free kick, and gives the ball away.... we need Donaldson in.

 

[davidblade]

Rubbish , not our day they’re bullying us and ref is as weak as shit

 

[Antonb]

Worst performance of the season at home. Gutted if we loose against these

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

Shocking today. Naive performance. No tempo, lost individual battles, too slow in the build. Really poor.

Bolton have done a number on us.

And in typical fashion they just killed the game off from 65 mins onwards. And we played into their hands with stupid fouls and slow tempo.

Some shocking decisions around the box from Baldock late on.

And Caruthers!!....may have well been playing with 10 men.

And...only 6 mins added on!!! should have been 8 mins. I timed it. And he only played 5 mins of the 6 mins injury time.

 

[Harvey Robinson-Smythe]

Poor. Poor. Poor.

Badly need reinforcements but don't believe we'll spend what's needed to keep us in touch.

 

[Antonb]

so disappointed we lost against Bolton, gutted. We were too slow in the build up, But we missed an open net by the sound of it. Need to play soo much better to have a chance at Derby.

 

[Roygbiv]

As well as we have done this season there is no defending that result. They are a League One team playing at a level above themselves and they are one of the few sides we should undoubtedly be beating at home.

 

[Dickens67]

Nothing that can be done now. It is one of those things. Never going to be easy when you lose a lot of players in one go! Also so many matches over one period. Have to put up with it. Move on and hope things get better again soon. Shocks sometimes happen. I am sure there will be reinforcements in the Jan window. Constant moaning about the team ain't going to help.

It has happened to big teams before, I am sure they felt upset too. There is no divine right to beat anyone, you have to perform on the day.

 

[Iceybabey]

Gary Madine took the piss out us. Take him out the game and Bolton have nothing else. It's that simple.

 

[JJ Sefton]

Some of our recent defeats have been bad luck but that was just bad. We never looked like we had another gear, anything different to try. Carruthers was useless again.

I agree and that's what is annoying. We are obviously a far better side but didn't turn up.
