[espoo blade]

Need to get it to him early before they get doubled up on him.

Exactly. Great ball from Gus, nice touch, lovely finish. So simple.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Clarke is piss poor. Seems to have the footballing IQ of a squirrel

Like Tufty? Ask your dad

 

[SUFC Guy]

These will have to come out second half and open up. We need to bring Campbell on at half time and then we score again and win this 2 or 3 nil

 

[Shakin Stevens is my Dad]

What has Cannon had to work with?

Make up looking at his eyes.

 

[Champagneblade]

Jesus. Hamer’s fucking ball control at times too. How many times does he just overrun it!

Winning but against the shittist team in the league and far from convincing.

 

[Blade56]

Playing the odds and put a fiver on Cannon to score or an assist

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Shut up shop...Wilder half time team talk synopsis . Masterclass

 

[Cheeky Blade]

What has Cannon had to work with?

Balls fired in over his head or to their defenders mostly…

 

[JJ Sefton]

Not great but good enough against one of the bottom sides.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

True but how many times have we played him through? How many times have we put balls across the area between 6 yard box and penalty spot?

It’s a thankless task being a striker who can finish as we don’t create and clear cut chances.

Fair points but a striker with more about him creates these goalscoring situations

 

[robbiez666]

What a truly dire half of football. Truly League 1 standard from both teams. Quality finish from JRS was the one good moment of the half.

Hoof. Hoof it again. Hoof it again. HOOF. Jesus, is we go up we're going to set (more) records.

 

[BangorBlade]

Don't rate Harry Clarke at all I'm afraid.

Easy ball to release JRS there.

drblade I don't think clakes done too bad m8
Robinson a liability
Souza not at it
Peck grafting away as per normal
JRS quite
Hamer & Ohare mmmm
Cannon nothing doesn't help with no service
We're way way to slow

 

[Sydney Blade]

Clarke is piss poor. Seems to have the footballing IQ of a squirrel

I’ve no idea what his strengths are supposed to be. Bad passer, not great in the tackle, rarely makes right decision, hmmm?

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Very glad to see JRS back, and made up he’s grabbed a goal.

If Wilder has us sitting back the rest of the game though I’ll be pissed

 

[robbiez666]

Fair points but a striker with more about him creates these goalscoring situations

He's fairly static. He does make runs but only in a limited area. He needs to do more to get on the ball and offer himself for a pass.

 

[Champagneblade]

We’ve got to win here and got to expect that games at home to Norwich and Preston are not the ones that will deprive Leeds and Burnley of points.

It’s the away games they are more likely to drop points.

Robinson is a liability… when not playing a 900 mile an hour pass to a team mate 5 meters away, he’s grappling in the box, or throwing the ball direct to the keeper with most of our team up the pitch.

 

[Cheesebored]

Hamers been miles off it. Pecks final ball has been atrocious and Cannons too weak although he's had fuck all to work with. Still, I'll take a 1-0 victory at this point in the season.

 

[Valley Blade]

Clarke is piss poor. Seems to have the footballing IQ of a squirrel

He had the football I.Q. to come around on the cover, to stop an almost certain goal, from the long throw flick on.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

He's fairly static. He does make runs but only in a limited area. He needs to do more to get on the ball and offer himself for a pass.

When he does make his runs he gives team mates absolutely no confidence he's going to get to it first should they play it to him. There's a lack of both pace and aggression, as well as the sort of nous Campbell seems to have developed

Then there are things like aerial presence, getting to loose balls first and holding it up

He just does none of these things. Again, I don't want to exaggerate. But he doesn't offer a single thing

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Not a brilliant half but thought the ref was to blame for a lot of that earlier on.

Good goal. Clear game plan. Worked.

Robbo. The hug. Absolutely bomb scare I cannot ever trust.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Campbell on for Cannon and we get a couple more

 

[LS5 Blade]

I feel sorry for Cannon here, he's got nothing to play off and no one within 20 feet of him. Needs a partner or we need to start playing balls he can be effective with

 

[Nick Jansky]

Very lacklustre half in which we didn’t look remotely dangerous. No discernible style of play. We’ve scored a goal because we have some very good individuals and two of them managed to combine. The goal had nothing to do with any “system”. Otherwise, playing it safe with players not prepared to risk playing forwards. A microcosm of our season right there. Glad we’re winning but Christ it’s dull.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

I'd be tempted to put Diaz on for Hamer. Let him have a go on his preferred left side. Campbell for Cannon and later Seriki for Clarke.

 

[Large Mendonca]

Very similar to the Oxford game - fine margins.

 

[bakeblade]

When he does make his runs he gives team mates absolutely no confidence he's going to get to it first should they play it to him. There's a lack of both pace and aggression, as well as the sort of nous Campbell seems to have developed

Then there are things like aerial presence, getting to loose balls first and holding it up

He just does none of these things. Again, I don't want to exaggerate. But he doesn't offer a single thing

He's also very weak and is eased off the ball too easily

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Y

Campbell on for Cannon and we get a couple more

Got to make a pass to him first…

 

[Blacksea]

This is going to get even more uglier this half

 

[Pintor75]

It's hardly flowing attaking football, but Cannon doesn't seem to shout or be seen to communicate where he wants the ball, surely they coach/ teach this in training?, and get 2 up top
