COME ON BLADES

 

[GrayBlade]

Sounds like without Coutts we are fucked. Still to win a game without him, Lundstram I think is yet to see a win when starting, we simply are too reliant on certain individuals.

Wrong on both counts I think. We won 1-0 when Coutts was suspended and Lundsrum started.

We beat Ipswich without him.

The problem is not having a right wing back fit and not only suffering with our attacking play by having a centre half playing there, but also jeopardising our defence by having arguably our best centre half not playing where he should be.

 

[Antonb]

O'Connell having his worse game of the season

 

[niktheblade]

Seems to me that over the last few games a few things have affected the way we have played. Obviously losing Coutts was a massive blow and whilst lundstram is able, he doesn't have the same quality.... Yet.

The biggest thing for me though is how CCV has gone to shit... I know the mistake against Fulham must have hit him hard, but he is reminding me a bit of nosworthy at present, I grit my teeth every time the ball goes near him.

Also, Duffy seems to have shrunk in stature and it seems when he isn't effective, united aren't as effective.

Just observations and they aren't robots so I'm not going to slag them off, everyone is entitled to an off period.

This is exactly the issue but for most it’s easier to say Coutts out bad,Lundstram in double Bad

 

[Houston_Blade]

That off licence in North London better get some crates in the fridge for when the team coach rolls up.

 

[Tommoblade66]

Come on lads

 

[Tommoblade66]

Booger

 

[Antonb]

Got to say it, we have been poor for most of the match., barring 15 mins of second half

 

[ucandomagic]

Get the beers in Billy.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Yeah, we've been terrible. But as per, when dominating and on top, fail to make their keeper make a save.

When the opposite happens, every shot ends in a goal.

COME ON BLADES

Yeah, but whilst they're unbeaten in 7 now, we're scrapping around for points and have a defence like a sieve at the moment.

 

[shrubbery]

Far too many goals being leaked at present. That’s 9 in the last 3 games. Not going to win many games defending like this.

 

[Weasel]

It does seem beyond a coincidence that every time the opposition seem to get one on target we are picking the ball out of the net.

We seem to have to make 5 chances to score 1 whilst the opposition needs to make 1 or 2. We concede far too many.

COME ON BLADES

Carry on like this and the porkers will be above us come the derby return.

 

[Blade56]

Bash and lundstrum have been our best players, rest meh

 

[bladesmanluke]

That was appalling. Utterly shocking

 

[snootyfenooty]

Plain fact is that without Coutts we're fucked.

 

[Tommoblade66]

doubt it

 

[Blade56]

1 from 9 isn't a reason to call for heads to roll but it focuses back to the investment needs and JTW

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Plain fact is that without Coutts we're fucked.

Don't think that's the case.

I think it's down to the fact teams have sussed us out. They soak the pressure and hit us on the flanks. Time and time again we've been picked off on the right hand side in these last couple of weeks.

 

[metalblade]

Well that was fucking rubbish apart from 10 mins .........

Results usually speak for themselves. Post Coutts P3 L2 D1 and we've been shite.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Got to give credit to Millwall. They outBladesed us (maybe without the intricate passing). We barely got a kick the last 20-25 minutes.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Recent data says we are.

Were we shite v Brum?

Were we shite v Fulham?

Or is it purely that defensively we're a mess at the moment?

 

[ForgeBlade]

I fucking hate Marvin Sordell.

 

[Roygbiv]

It does seem that sides are giving us more respect and not really attacking us but soaking up pressure and hitting us on the break. Not too concerned yet but we may have to have re think things a little

Brum were the worst team to visit the Lane this season.

Fulham thrashed us, those late goals just covered things up

Millwall are shite

We've been shite post Coutts. Listen, I'm not taking any pleasure in this, we need to grind out a few points up till January then we need to spend big on a replacement for Coutts or this season's going nowhere.
