The crazy thing is Newcastle are still willing to stand off and hit us on the break, I agree with other comments made earlier that the old CAM system used to pin teams in should be used, especially when we are playing a side known to have an average of 30% possession of the ball at home (according to sky). This game is uncannily similar to the reverse fixture at BL, question is have lessons been learnt?

Crying out for a Duffy I think

 

[Bobby b]

We need the moose on just to stretch their defense

 

[Blade58]

We need some pace....somewhere...anywhere on the pitch...Saint Maximom and Almiron showing the benefit of it

we have some in moose and Zivkovic

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Not had a go at Berge at all in any thread yet, but the man is a total lightweight.
Glad he’s gone off. And I hate having to say that

 

[DroitwichBlade]

That’s that then....

 

[bakeblade]

Stevens is taking 1 or 2 to many touches every time.

Crying out for a Duffy I think

What has Luke Freeman done wrong

 

[BettingBlade]

Norwood again

 

[Antonb]

Ffs

 

[Bobby b]

Fuck it, the games gone, let's have a look at zivkovic

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Norwood's sloppiness leads to another goal. Pretty sure I called that happening in the first half. He's had an awful game today. This is the worst we've played all season.

 

[Sithblade]

Void the season now.

 

[BigBed]

"The Blades, the Blades are falling apart again"!

 

[Bladesman98]

Need to sort ourselves out. Lots of games coming up.

 

[Revolution]

Gave it away again

 

[ekke287]

Two nil

 

[Kev Gee]

Game over.

Awful performance everywhere.

Just basic errors all over the pitch.

 

[ryza]

Laughable. Blades are falling apart

 

[BettingBlade]

Norwood cannot start against Man U after this. He’s been absolutely diabolical today.

 

[JJ Sefton]

We’ve been shit today.

 

[Gimli]

Norwood and Stevens look like they’re drunk ffs.

Well at least we’re safe!

I always said we should have cancelled the season...

 

[CentralQuay]

Norwood gives the ball away again, and this time it finally leads to a goal.

No idea why he stayed on and the only midfielder in red and white looking to pass forward has gone off.

 

[Feo]

I’m leaving for an earlier train.

 

[Brownieblade]

No excuses now, get Moose, Zhutkov and Freeman on and see what happens

 

[Birley Blade]

In danger of what?

In danger of getting absolutely dominated. It’s 2-0 against Newcastle. Man Utd opened us up and ruined us in 10 minutes. Imagine what they can do in 90. Just because we’re safe don’t let it get to your head, next season we’re in serious contention for going down if we perform like this. Serious lack of squad depth.

 

[true99blade]

What the fuck was the pass from McBurnie?
What the fuck was that control from Norwood?
What the fuck was that defending from Baldock?
What the fuck was that effort from Hendo?

 

[ekke287]

Damage control now I think, we’re not scoring today unless something changes quickly.

 

[Superblades]

What a pile of dogshit we have been since the restart. Gonna limp to the end of the season

 

[Bladedog]

Matt richie always willing to have a pop..we,d have passed that wide

 

[bartman]

Hate to be critical of CW but his decision to go with a lack of pace up front the last two games is questionable

 

[Antonb]

Let’s win the game cup
