[Thrice]

I think someone mentioned it before, I see a bit of Bukayo Saka in Brooks. Not as good (yet) obviously and a lot more raw, but there's definitely a player in there.

 

[HD8 Blades]

What colours we in. Away with only bbc live text. Need the pictures in my head!

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Blades equaliser.

Home kit

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Brooks with more of a final ball would be exciting they can't deal with his dribbling!

What a strike

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Lovely lovely strike. Hit it perfectly.

Has a foot like a traction engine!!!

 

[S40BLADE]

Has a foot like a traction engine!!!

And thats his weak foot

 

[Thrice]

Souza booked again. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the game for him.

 

[Jan Age]

but if we win then does that mean we give Wilder a 5 year contract extension?

The transfer window hasn't even finished yet......the teams from all clubs aren't even settled yet.

I’ve seen enough to know he’s not the man for the job… should never have come back in the first place rafter the way he left.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Hamer’s had a very strange half. In the thick of things without actually playing well.

Nice!

 

[Jan Age]

Ollie disagrees

Mate just because we equalise it doesn’t change my opinion…he’s creating a carbon copy of the team that overplayed it before and never crossed it in , never shot but could pass it across a penalty area with the best

The only difference is we are shit out of possession this time

 

[Thrice]

You can definitely see that Gilchrist is a centre back at heart. Defensively he's probably been the best of the back 4 so far this game.

 

[Keen Blade]

How is Trusty doing ?

 

[Danetheblade]

How is Trusty doing ?

Awful. Souttar essentially doing both jobs.

I know and pretty much agree. Not a popular opinion but I think he is a couple of defeats away from the boot.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Planning his move to Glasgow

 

[Rusty]

So what is it?...1-0 down Wilder must go we're wank. Equalise we're better side. No danger of many keeping their powder dry

This is it in a nutshell. Fannys everywhere.

Think we played well mostly that half, struggling for pace a little at the back maybe.

Hopefully we don't back right off second half

 

[Nick Jansky]

Brooks has been superb, he’s not giving up the shirt without a fight. O’Hare appears to have show pony tendencies and is a passenger when we are up against it. Souza can be sold for me, doesn’t bring enough for what we could get for him.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

1-1. Maybe Wilder is the answer now after al

It is about results first, performance second. So far this season 50/50 on results and 50/50 on performances. We've not dominated a full game just periods of each game. This half we pretty much dominated so we'll see the second half.

 

[MayorOJC]

Hope we get a good 30 minutes of JRS today

 

[Pollingtonblade]

We are still gelling, give it 10 games.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Defensively we seem to be getting caught out by balls over the top. Going forwards Brooks is causing them problems. Food wise, the curried vegan pasty was mighty fine.

I reckon and its common sense really
Wilder is formulating his style with one eye on the Premier League.
He was there last season and should know what's needed.
Normally the answer is much better, more expensive players.
However we wont be spending 200 million so will have alot of this seasons players.

In the Premier league the key to success is possession and dealing with the press both in and out of possession.
Last season when our defence was under the cosh.....I'd have loved us to aimlessly knock the ball about for 5 to 10 minutes to releive the pressure.

Think Wilder calls it "taking more control of a game".

Agree though....overplaying can potential cause problems....suppose we'll see.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

That was a good half, we’ve not quite clicked yet but it’s still early days

It's a great game, wide open and loads of great play. So fun to watch after last season, can't believe the moaning fannies in this thread.

 

[manxblade]

I've really enjoyed that first half. Passing it around well bit sloppy at the back. Missing Mcburnie
