[CarlMcBlade]

I’d take a point now.

 

[Granada Blade]

Watching the stream with Millwall commentators. First time I've ever heard Egan pronounced Eggen

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Hecky needs to kick em the arse and remind them what they get paid for we can win this

 

[Blacksea]

I’d take a point now.

So would I,Cooper has still got his goal to come.

 

[Jon Bon II]

If anyone else is sick of the piggy twat Hinchliffe on Sky, one of the Setanta channels is just showing the raw feed, no commentary, just crowd noise. It's much better than listening to that twat piping up every 2 minutes.

 

[FinBlade]

I'm not sure which is more off - our game or the refs.. So far equal (as the score), but something must be done or we'll return chin on chest..
We've had so nice run that I've already forgot how the pair of key players keep us going and how lost we are with few benchplayers..

SUTV commentators seem to be more on the spot as the ones people are talking here

 

[Wickersley Blade]

Same as on here

Internet down indoors, fortunately no sound on in pub.

 

[Champagneblade]

Now would be a good time to take Sander off to give him a rocket and put some more athleticism in midfield in Coulibaly.

But no, we had no space for him. We had to keep a spot for a third short left footed midfielder. What fucking planet was he on when he picked the squad today?

Need to be miles better.

Even take Sander off and bring N'Diaye on. Go 3-4-1-2.

 

[FriethBlade]

So will Hecky change it at HT? We need Ndiaye on in midfield on place of Berge so we can run at them.

Back 4 ? As the current system isn't working. Lowe and Bogle to full back, Bash and Berge off Ndiaye and
Mcattee into midfield to carry a bit of forward threat?

 

[ATL Recs]

Well, you just missed a belter of a free kick

Thanks to George terrible goalkeeping and positioning

 

[Nonamedhorse]

Yep, Boro are getting 2nd. Many thanks to the negligent fuckwit at the top. Will be a hell of a throwaway. 4 or 5 point gap after today. Never takes long does it. Certainly when you don't bother strengthening and watch on as your rivals do

 

[Keen Blade]

Couldn't give a fuck about media bias , our performance has been gutless.
They have twice our energy.
They win every loose ball.
Our defenders are nowwhere near them.
Our midfield can't get or use the ball.
Our strikers can't retain it.
We sorely miss Ndiaye.
If Hecky keeps the same 11 , then he needs to bolster mf.
If we don't improve and get on the front foot after the next 10 minutes , he needs to react

 

[raimond]

Were we on the piss last night ? Are we on drugs ? They have twice our energy.

Worst drugs ever if we are

 

[Captain2]

Terrible first half performance but I bloody hate this play acting by opponents touch the fuckers they go down free kick, Jebbo bewildered Hecky won’t resort to those tactics he’s going have too ffs.

 

[Espania blade]

Millwall players diving, ref on their side, commentators on their side, united playing crap - we can win this, the world is against us

 

[Chingo]

Might Learn one day that Berge is shit playing central , up the pace and over load the right with Bogle Berge and bash and get them going the other way

 

[ATL Recs]

Co commentator is doing my nut in. Everything anti blades

Well we are playing a type of anti football

 

[Champagneblade]

What an annoying voice that cunt Hinchcliffe has. Like nails on a chalkboard. Boy do I hate fucking Wednesday players past and present,

Why the fuck don't they realise we don't want a fucking Pig co-comentating on our games? Are they so tone deaf?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Watching the stream with Millwall commentators. First time I've ever heard Egan pronounced Eggen

That what happens when you eat jellied eels

 

[bakeblade]

Hecky needs to kick em the arse and remind them what they get paid for we can win this

That half was about as bad as it gets for us, Boro fans must be pissing themselves

 

[Sheffsteel]

1-1 at half-time

It's been one of our worse displays of the season so far.
Millwall have totally dominated and deserve to be at least 2 -0 up, probably even 3-0.
We've hardly attacked but scored a long range free-kick totally out of the blue, with their goalie being partly at fault.

I'm glad they aren't interviewing Hecky at half-time as he's be saying he's pleased with the battling spirit and how it's a close match with all to play for.
Wilder would be furious and calling out the players, insisting we need to step it up as Millwall have dominated.

The positives are surely we can't play worse in the 2d half. Millwall probably can't believe they are not winning.
Also Jebbison and especially McBurnie look up for it, coming back to defend well and making good runs when we attack,

The negatives are our midfield look like they've just met each other. Again so disjointed unable to string together 3 or 4 passes.
Our tactic is so obvious, pass it to Norwood and he'll try the long pass, we should be better than this with more variation.
Bogle has hardly touched the ball, in fact we've not done any attacking down the wings and Berge has struggled again.

 

[raimond]

So will Hecky change it at HT? We need Ndiaye on in midfield on place of Berge so we can run at them.

Back 4 ? As the current system isn't working. Lowe and Bogle to full back, Bash and Berge off Ndiaye and
Mcattee into midfield to carry a bit of forward threat?

Put some fucker, any fucker, as an actual ball winner in midfield please FFS. They don't even have to be good- just someone to stand in the 25 yard gap we have between midfield and defence with 3 slow centre halves desperately shitting themselves and back pedalling. Coulibaly, fuck it, Baldock, anyone you like.

I never thought I'd long for Nick Montgomery.

 

[Gretsch Blade]

Creativity been poor.
Hecky set us up defensively, but we ve been bossed after a slow/awful start.

Must now bring on positive, creative subs and take game to them otherwise we re holding on for a point....

Adding McAtee and Illy will put them on back foot. Drop Doyle to Norwood role, sub Norwood for McAtee and swap Jebbo with Illy.

[Champagneblade]

Bogle is total anonymous too.

He's not a great defender so if he isn't going to run down the line what's the point?

May as well play 4 at the back and throw another forward or midfielder on.

 

[originaltrueblade]

That half was about as bad as it gets for us, Boro fans must be pissing themselves

Piss themselves when QPR shock em

 

[Gimli]

Need a massive improvement if we’re getting owt out of this. As poor a first half as we’ve had this season.

 

[Middle Aged Blade]

Jebbison is getting frustrated.

Totally agree. Going to get himself booked ….. or worse if he doesn’t calm down.

I was obviously joking

We are going up. We are magnificent

 

[FriethBlade]

No changes, just like Boro, let's hope it's
not tje same outcome
