Match Thread Reading v The Mighty Blades

[OrlandoexiledBlade]

what a fucking goal !!! hence why he should start every bloody game !

 

[FinchleyBlade]

And THAT is why you always start Duffy Wilder!

 

[S5_Blade]

Was it as good as it sounded?! The bounce killer strikes once again

 

[OrlandoexiledBlade]

this game should be over now with the chances we are getting

 

[Punk Blade]

Clarke and Blackman off injured. Donaldson and Moore on.

What happened?

 

[shrubbery]

We should be 5 or 6 up here - Reading are awful.

 

[OrlandoexiledBlade]

no goalkeeper on earth would have got to that. right in the very top corner ..A thing of beauty

 

[RealMcCoy]

3-1 loss I'm afraid tonight, I'm not sure the players will b up for this one.

Not looking likely....

 

[shrubbery]

Another shocking referee in the Championship. I count 7 fouls that he has given against us when their player has literally jumped on the floor as we close them down. Donaldson gets clattered from behind and nothing.

 

[loyalblade95]

So what's happened to Blackman and clarke both off injured doesn't sound good

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Critical that we keep on top first 15 mins of second half - surely Reading can't play that shit for a full 90 mins.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Bang!

 

[Iceybabey]

Good first half but we can be better. I'm sure Wilder will be reminding the players in the changing room about taking things easy like the last game.

And then the goal kick he gave towards end of the half.

We’ve probably had two bookings not given for quite cynical/intelligent fouls though for our wingbacks. Think he’s been a fairly even ref, has let stuff go for both sides.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Vastly improved.

Vastly superior.

Keep going Blades, cracking 1st half.

UTB

Oh and well done Wilder
Kidology of the highest order

 

[1973Blade]

If we win will that be Stam out?

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Those saying Clarke is having a mare, he's been quality. The pressing of the side is unbelievable considering the conditions. Clarke couldn't get it out of his feeting having harrassed and robbed the centre half with his sheer determination.

Ref is having a mare. Think he's playing the conditions too much, any player goes over it's a free kick. When in theory they've beet outmuscled and out worked.

Wilder wanted a response.

Boy he got it in that half.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Hell of a transformation! Back to being Wilder's front-foot Blades again. Class.

 

[8lade]

United turned up but Reading really are shite but they've got a lad who can take a really dangerous corner kick.

 

[Lane Ender]

I went for a point at Reading 3against Burton and a loss at Fulham
In credit right now

 

[Davalon]

Watching on iFollow and delighted so far.

Yeah we could and should be more in front, and there's still 45 to go, but Wilder has got a reaction so far.

Don't want to tempt fate but this would be a big 3 points for me.

Maybe it's the cold that's get 'em pressing again. Need to keep warm don't they?

Seriously though, that's the football and pressing game that got us into the top 2/3 in the first place.

[1973Blade]

I am worrying about the snow on the pitch now, please don't get abandoned!

There's a lot less than there was!

On the radio it said Leon pulled up clutching his leg and calling the bench for treatment.
The radio reckon he’s pulled his hamstring, so that would be a few weeks out.

Also Blackman was clutching his leg and limping.
The radio reckon that looked like a pulled hamstring too.

 

[1973Blade]

Why do we let goals in during the first few minutes of second half!

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Great here we go.

These are bloody awful. If we throw this away we don't deserve the play offs.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

How many more one on ones are we going to squander ??
