North Chesterfield, Pathetic

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Just heard a pig on football heaven who’s decided this is a very clever name to give us. He even looked up the distance between the sty and Barnsley and The Lane and Chesterfield on the coach on his way home from Carlisle to confirm how far apart the the grounds actually are, and guess what, Chesterfield is closer to us than Barnsley is to them!
He is now urging the swine to use his new thought up name as an insult for us. As usual, copy everything from The Blades and soon it will have been their idea which we copied.
At least the presenter told him not to be so childish.

I'd rather be closer to Chessie than fucking Barnsley, and as an above poster says we're in the City Centre.

The singing Blade matched him, sadly.

And as for the guy who said we don’t have a plan b. What a nob. It’s the first time in many a year we seem to have a plan a, b and c. As was demonstrated at Hillsborough

I'd bet my mortgage that he couldn't describe our plan A so how would he know if we have a plan b? This "been found out" stuff is hilarious. Our levels dropped and we had bad luck. It's a 46 game season - let's see how many times we get found out at home between now and May. I'm betting not many

He simply doesn’t grasp the fact that we are the city’s true club....Hillsborough is about as urban as Little House on the Prairie.

He only said it as a wind up. No ones gonna fall for it are they?

Oops!

Not wishing to appear deliberately controversial & not having a dig, more an honest question to the floor, but what was our Plan B against Bolton?

 

[JPBrods]

I'd go one further. We're closer to Spain than that lot so technically our derogatory nickname should be North Barcelona.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

That why we should be proud and not annoyed, when other fans call us “Sheffield”
Just like AC Milan and Inter Milan, everybody knows there only one team they call “Milan”

Well I would say bringing on Baldock for CCV after 20 minutes,doing such a thing so early in the game,hardly smacks of a manager unwilling to change things during a game,then taking Stearman off and going for a player further forward

 

[Blade&Snuff]

We are the Heart of Sheffield.

Enough said.

As i said, I'm not points scoring & my memory is poor, and I'll happily be corrected/educated.

My take on the game was that we set out with our Plan A, which is 3-5-2 relatively quick, relatively positive shortish passing football. CCV was having a poor game and got subbed. Baldock & Basham changed positions, and we continued with Plan A. We didn't move the ball about as quickly as we should, which allowed Bolton to slip back into two fairly solid banks of defence & midfield, but always having the luxury of the 'out ball' to Madine and pace enough in midfield for at least one player to join him. That kept our CB's honest. Our WB's & FW's were sat on the edge of the 18 yrd box having balls played into their feet by our CM and the balls were being knocked back into the CM's. I thought part of the reason for the slow movement of the ball appeared to be over playing it between duffy & fleck. The fact that we couldn't get beyond their defence in wide areas & cross totally negated billy sharp. This pattern of play continued until the 60min mark when we swapped sharp for donaldson. Still in a 3-5-2 formation, still with the same style of play, still being frustrated. We seemed to bog oursleves down in the kop/south stand corner when duffy/fleck/stevens play a series of short paces to each other. This continued for the next 20 mins or so, until with 10 mins to go we swapped stearman for carruthers and went 4-3-3. You could argue that was Plan B. Perhaps my point isn't about the existence of a Plan B, but CW's belief in it and his willingness to initiate it.

We haven't had a plan B for................5 or 6 years to teams that play like Bolton did.

We didn't have a plan B last year even when we were dominant. We have struggled against teams that close us down quickly - ie: Bolton.

We hopefully have a plan B now - 2 new centre midfield players to change the dynamics of how we play - we just have to hope that we have chosen well.
