Positives?

[FTPE]

McBurnie's deep link up play.
Ramsdale's saves.
Burkes work rate and passes.
Ramsdale looked sharp.
Lunny played well.
Moose is back.
Berge was great for 30min.

 

[BigDon]

I fancy us against Leicester but only without McB. half the battle is to worry the other team, you can bet every defender in the league will worry about Burkes pace let alone having to deal with Mousset. UTB

 

[Gretsch Blade]

433 formation from the off, not just last quarter.
Burke looked strong and threatening.
Brewster & Moose fit to play together at last.
We created enough chances to win 3 games tonight..... although rub of the green must even itself out sooner or later.
Media writing us off now - which is when we become stronger

 

[Hartley Hare]

The number of chances created.

The effort to win by the players.

Burke and Moose, with Brewster just must result in goals?

Norwood and McBurnie need a rest.

[BigDon]

we need to play out from the back....period!

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

There were plenty of positives tonight.

Unfortunately there was one big fuck off disapointment. The result.

But there was much to be encouraged about, most importantly the players are still playing for the manager and gave it a go until the final whistle.

I felt for them tonight.

That's the nail on the head for me. I felt for the players tonight. That's the difference.

 

[Roygbiv]

We looked a very good Championship team. Obviously a backhanded compliment but we showed we are better than West Brom who got promoted last season. As long as we don't shit the bed in terms of sacking Wilder or having a fire sale we will be ok next season.

 

[HammerInPeace]

Leicester play Monday & Thursday before they play you.
They're unlikely to be feeling full of beans come Sunday.

 

[Nelson1889]

The kit looked alright.......after that I'm struggling to be honest ☹

 

[knowsnowt]

Positives.
Didn't have to drive.
Didn't spend 20 minutes looking for a parking spot.
Had a few beers whilst watching, for a change.
Didn't have a mentalists spit down my neck from the bloke behind shouting "fucking belt it you shit bastard".

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Zero, fucking none, zilcho, garbage, worst record ever to a EFL season.

I am saving myself some money by cancelling BT and Sky Sports. Season ticket holder of 40 plus years. Regular away attender. I will always follow the Blade in the flesh, as it were, but watching on TV kills me. No more tv viewing for me.

I switched off at half time and watched Michael McIntyres stupid pointless wheel of fortune gameshow.
It's too painful and distressing to watch with so much wrong with the way we're playing and I can't see us turning it around.
I hope I'm wrong but I just can't be a part of it any more.

'kinell, even 1 point from 10 games isn't worth doing that...

 

[knowsnowt]

Anyone else knock one out at half time?

 

[ComedyClub]

Anyone else knock one out at half time?

Yep. Had a good old cry wank.

 

[BettingBlade]

I switched off at half time and watched Michael McIntyres

It wasn’t that bad.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

That free-kick routine thing, second half, was kind of neat. Something else I thought we’d forgotten how to do.

 

[S40BLADE]

We didn’t lose our precious point.

Shame really as the majority of the second half was a frustrating but entertaining game of football IMO.

 

[Hague Blade]

Better than the one at the start. I had high hopes of something exciting when Berge did that oh so deliberate “ here’s the sign, I’m bouncing it three times, very slowly”. Bit disappointing it was in fact the sign for Fleck to chip it tamely at the corner flag...

 

[Montymagic]

Second half, towards the later end we looked better.

Burke looked good, so did Brewster ,well better than previous run outs.

Lunny looked good when he came on .

Ballsdock despite missing the chance of the season had a decent second half .

Ramsdoh! Had a good game I thought.

Hopefully we will now drop mcbummy ....

 

[Champagneblade]

4-3-3 suits these players far more.

We need to win games now. We’ll soon be needing snookers.

Using up 2 spots in the matchday XI for Bryan and Lowe is a waste.

If you play 3 up front, you can at least play Burke as a winger with pace. Then maybe Mousset, Brewster alongside him.

Lundstram I thought was good when he came on and can do a job as RM in a 4-3-3.

Fleck can obviously do the same other side and then Berge DM.

I don’t know what to say about Norwood. I too looked on amazed at his metronomic passing last season. His pinged crossed too. What happened to him? His deadballs have been awful yet we know he is capable of so much better.

I’m not even sure I’d keep Baldock in. Having a lot of the ball doesn’t mean you’ve had a good game. It’s about output. Is Bogle better in the final 3rd?

There is something to build on, but without any decent option at LCB, you are bringing in players of Championship and League One quality to retain the system. It just isn’t working. We did a lot of our good work with 4-3-3. I think we need to explore that further until Jan.

"The effort to win by the players"
Absolutely.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

I didn't see any, zero, nothing, fuck all!


We're shite and have been for months and it ain't gonna get any better with the shite we've got on the pitch!

 

[Norville Rogers]

reading all of this back this morning.
some of our fans are quite fickle aren't they??

 

[8lade]

We've still got Billy Sharp to come back in.
I'm not going to let up on this until he is playing again.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

I didnt have to go through with my bet to toss myself off down the mince pie aisle of the local supermarket if we won!

 

[Gavlar]

We didn't lose by more?
The pink kit looked nice?

um..............

 

[Brumdog66]

Mcburnie's passing was good, maybe he can play the Mcgoldrick role now?
