Match Thread MATCH DAY THREAD: The Mighty Blades v Northampton

[FriethBlade]

We need a 'second striker' it's seems neither Done nor Clarke are the answer and Wilder obviously isn't sure about Lavery as he hasn't started him. I can see Ched or Gregory coming in next month.

Against a tall side , we've taken off our 2 tallest players ?
What is shape now that shortie Scougall is on ?
Not saying on radio.

 

[Sheffsteel]

We're now putting their defense under a lot of pressure but we're struggling to create anything clear cut. They've been like Bury and defended like their lives depend on it putting in last gasp blocks.

Our problem is we're maybe being too patient, lots of side ways passing on the edge of their box.

 

[Keen Blade]

Yeh , it's been a boring listen on Blades Player - no saves by their keeper , but we hit post I suppose.

Get EEL up front. He's got form for last minute winners !

 

[Keen Blade]

My take on this match is that CW ought to realize he's got some real dilemmas in the striking dept.
Can he swallow his pride and offload Clarke ?
Or Done ?
Who can he get ?
I think his talk about a new M/F is decoy bullshit - he must know he hasn't got a settled strike force.

 

[Keen Blade]

As a wing-back scores - well done Freeman !

 

[MightyBlades]

Yippeeeee!

 

[Keen Blade]

What have we played since Scougall came on ?
4-4-2 with Duffy on R & Scougall on L ?
or what ?

 

[Blade82]

Late winners and what champions do. Fucking get in!

Agree, u gotta think this is our year, how many winners in last few mins now ?

 

[shrubbery]

Lost signal for 30secs out of the whole bloody game and missed the goal!

Come on you Blades! Another result ground out.

 

[BigBed]

A DEEP BREATH! AND WE GO ON!!
Well done Freeman, and for me cements the fact playing Clarke and Sharp is never going to work!

That winning mentality is back again at the club. Turning those draws in to wins really makes the difference and wilder/knill deserve all the credit for that. What they have achieved is incredible considering what they inherited. UTB

 

[shrubbery]

Happy New Year to all Blades!

 

[BigBed]

Just look at that table!!!! we continue to dream!!!!

 

[DronnieBlade]

Immense contribution from Coutts for the goal.

Won a key physical battle that he was at best 50/50 to win that had he lost, would have resulted in an overload breakaway for Northampton. Then took it down the line to deliver the telling cross.

UTB

It was 4-4-2, Scougall right, Duffy left but quite a lot of flexible interchanging and overlapping.
