MATCH DAY THREAD: The Mighty Blades v Leeds United

[8lade]

I like the look of that line up and some great options on the bench, hope we don't lose a defender as that could seriously shake things up, no like for likes on the bench (except LWB)

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

He’s nailed it with the team selection. I’ve said for two weeks, go back to why worked....or as close as possible to it.

I’m confident of a win now. Glad he’s seen his recent mistakes.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Thought Evans was a goner there.

 

[Iceybabey]

Bit sloppy. I'll take 1-0.

 

[Hackblade]

Great start but went flat. We seem to be waiting for something to happen.

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

Strange game.

I don't think I've ever known a game against Leeds feel so flat (from my vantage point on my sofa at least). Both in terms of atmosphere, but also the game itself. It's mainly been a slow paced game, with only a few brief moments of quality (albeit pretty much exclusively from us).

Based on the first half, this is a game we should be winning comfortably. I hope we can kick on and put the game out of reach now.

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

Just as I post - Leeds equaliser. Shit.

 

[Blade58]

Just put the fkin ball in row z

How many times does he have to act like George Best when defending?

 

[Weasel]

Ridiculous defending really. We don't half make our own problems at times.

 

[JayGreen17]

Very slow and laboured very strange game

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

Still plenty of time to get our act together and win this. Leeds look average at best. Would be a missed opportunity today if we don't get all three points.

 

[JayGreen17]

At the moment we dint loom that much better

 

[Weasel]

We've been sloppy all afternoon. If we played at anything like full throttle I think we would have wiped the floor with Leeds. It' almost like we have played at half speed today. Not impressed with Utd so far today.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Set piece delivery has been atrocious. So many free kicks/corners we haven't taken advantage of.

 

[Weasel]

I don't even get the slightest bit excited now when Utd get an attacking set piece. I just know it don't come to anything. Really annoying.

 

[Blade58]

Thank fk

Come on

 

[Weasel]

We do stop fking about with it about at the back please Utd. We do need to learn the art of clearing our lines and being no nonsense at times. There's a time to play football and that time isn't in your own box when you have an opposition player breathing down your fkin neck

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Sharp 6/10 – did nothing other than score a superb goal and a really pressure penalty. Ched Evans to start the next match for me.

 

[Weasel]

Well happy with the result. But we have been a bit fortunate today as we weren't really at the races today. But I don't care... We've beaten dirty Leeds and that is always a very nice feeling.

Sharp and Duffs our best players today.

Are you taking the piss? His hold up play and touches were first class! Everything was first class from him today!

 

[S5_Blade]

Duffy bossed the midfield in that first half. First time for a while we have had a bit of composure and forward thinking passes, Sharp did what he does best. Overall the result was more important than the performance and maybe kick starts us again onwards and upwards UTB

Bit of a whoosh moment there I think mate!

Yes, I think he was

I think the previous post was firmly tongue in cheek. Billy was the match winner today.

 

[Iceybabey]

Billy and Bash quality today. Second half we were better. Blackman did well. JOC, immense besides the lead up to their goal.
Anyone know why Clarke wasn't playing??

 

[Wright1889]

Yes, I think he was

My bad haha!

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

My bad haha!

Happens to the best of us pal

 

[Dkc]

When did we last do the double over the dirties?

 

[JayGreen17]

Funny game, played better against Villa and lost.

Now Wilder, stick with that Team, let's not be pissing around changing it, obviously we'll need to replace fleck for QPR but that's enforced.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Clarke was disappointing today. Didn't work or create anything. Wouldn't mind seeing Donaldson in @leicester
