Our back 5 players.

Truly truly outstanding.

Appreciate that having a consistent formation and personnel helps a lot, but Hendo, George Enda Bash Egan and JOC are as good as I have ever seen as a defensive block for dem Blades.

And so much more besides in terms of initiating offensive “triggers” to boot.

£100 + million. No doubt.

Yes they were outstanding again tonight, as they usually are. It’s all about them being a unit too, not just good individuals. If, god forbid, we had to sell one for daft money, it wouldn’t be the end of the world because I’m sure CWAK would have players lined up who would slot straight into that unit.
Look at the signing of Robinson. Personally I’ve never heard of or seen him, and a lot are surprised by the signing. However you should never underestimate our men in charge, they’ll see certain attributes in him that mean he would slot in our back 6 unit if needed.

Outstanding by all of them. Good job because the midfielders getting booked so early meant that only the defence could put a tackle in for the rest of the game.

There was a moment in the first half Egan was going mad at O'Connell for not making the right run for his pass.

This is two defenders in the current premier league champions box. Love it.

I could see pep saying we need to buy him and pointing to JOC

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Are they as good as this back line though :-

Hodgkinson

Coldwell-J Shaw-G Shaw
Summers-Richardson

Has Baldock been beaten 1 on 1 once this season? Seriously?

He’s fucking brill

 

[Ricky]

His defensive improvement while he's been here has been absolutely fantastic.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Has Baldock been beaten 1 on 1 once this season? Seriously?

When he shouldered KdB off the ball late on tonight it was proper world class defensive work.

 

[raimond]

Thought it was JOC's best game of the season today, fucking immense

He's beat himself a few times .....

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Is that the first time city have played with a back 5? (To match us)

 

[BushBlade]

When he shouldered KdB off the ball late on tonight it was proper world class defensive work.

The commentary was almost surreal. It was something like ‘de Bruyne easily dispossessed by Baldock’. Who ever thought they’d hear that?
