Season 2017/18 scapegoat

[Silvio Morris]

One of the few frustrating games at home, Fleetwood- If Hanson had been able to play that night, we may have got something from that.

 

[Piffle and Tosh]

Fleck. Team carried him last season. Not physical enough for the Championship. League One was far less rough.

is this irony ?

If Ched scores less than 35 goals this season you know the haters will be ready to pounce

In seriousness I can see Lafferty being picked on as even last year he was slighted by a fair few and now we're in a higher division.

Hanson won't play much but he's the only real target man we have so might be helpful in some matches.

Players should never be scapegoated if they try their all, if they don't cut it then it's really the manager's fault.

I want Sheffield United to have an Escaped Goat, we could watch fleck and Coutts try and catch it, mind you might be like a bowl in a china shop.

More a sarcastic rather than an ironic response

Hammond tried his all. Just saying.

Shit, sorry. That's the answer to a different thread.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Yes it's a pre season friendly.

Yes at the end of the day it doesn't mean a whole bunch.

But I'll defy anyone to defend THAT performance from James Hanson.

Utterly.

Totally.

Woefully

Inadequate.

Stuck out like a sore thumb. And not for any good reason.

Sum total contribution to the game ? 5 fouls. Nothing else.

Nothing.

[blade too long]

to be fair it looked like a pre season friendly and Hanson looked no worse than 21 other players ,Dont get this need to hang players out to dry tell me one who looked world class tonight,
Malagas team were all worse than Hanson was more concerned we nearly gifted them a goal due to a poor first touch

Harsh.

Think it was a tough game for him to be fair, as none of those 5 'fouls' would have been fouls in any English league, don't think Spanish refereeing allows you to be a 'big lad who makes things hard for defenders'.

Since when is an elbow to the head not a foul ?

La Liga.

La championship.

La Concord Park.

Offered nothing. Disrupted forward momentum by needlessly fouling. Seen it all before. Hopelessly inadequate.

You just can't defend what is indefensible.

[Bruce Wayne]

Hanson won't play much next season, he's probably off once we sign another striker. He's L1 average and doesn't have the personality to become a cult hero.

yep i agree. 45 minutes in a pre season friendly, when the whole team was arguably not as good 2nd half, he deserves to be beaten

Understand the major contributing factor as to WHY the side was not as good 2nd half.

Plenty of the ball.

Nothing came off offensively.

If this plank plays anything other than a bit part role, we are gonna struggle.

we are all aware he will be a bit part player, but at the moment he is still a blade and i wont stoop low enough to slag him off on a forum, i love the club and every part of it at the minute, we have just been promoted and he was albeit a small one, still a part of that

You don't like Hanson, do you? The fact that he's different to any other striker on our books means nothing? I was the first to say we should have got Elliott, a younger, stronger, quicker version of Hanson, and shipped him out, but we didn't, so we need to get behind him. He'll be perfect for the last 20 minutes to chuck on and cause bollocks.

Silent. Being one of Co op boys biggest advocates, can I ask did you catch the stream last night ?

If so, How would YOU describe his performance? Particularly when compared against every (and I do mean every) other player on the pitch.

Curious.

He was awful. Just like every other game he has played for the Blades. I think we need to let him know what we think of him so I think we should make sure we boo his every touch next season.

Now I draw the line there.

Booing is bollocks. However bad a player is.

Yes I watched the match on stream. The yellow cards were all wrong. The ref fell for Malaga's playacting. I dont really judge players performances in pre-season matches.

Interesting observation.

Hanson elbows connecting with the Malaga players temple a figment of my imagination it seems.

Booing is what you do when you scapegoat someone, or at least that is what I was thought.

I'm on your side here

Looks like we got an answer already before a ball has been kicked in anger.

He's terrible mate I'll agree with you there.
You'll get the 'plan b' and 'everyone needs one' shit from the bigger blades but let's be real - James Hanson is far from championship quality.

The championship defenders are a lot more clever than the idiots in league one and they won't fall for his dirty tricks. Keeping him would be a mistake we can do so so much better.

 

[Slim Man]

It's an opinion. Nothing more nothing less.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

He was tripe against Stocksbridge PS, in a 9-0 romp.

So I am not at all sure that even this could be his level.

I take it you are one of the many that cheers raucously when CoOp boy wins a header that lands straight at an opponents feet ?

I'm sure he's a great lad. It's nothing personal. And I don't even mind him getting 5 mins at the end if we are chasing and going direct.

But overall, he is / was a Bizarre signing. A rare Tufty error.

UTB

Jim is a very good player.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Jim is a very good player.

Jim Furyk is indeed a very good golfer.

Jimmy White could play snooker rather well.

CoOp boy would do well to go back to stacking shelves. In my opinion.

[NE Blade]

I think I saw all of those during one lean spell in March.
They can't wait to stick the boot in where Billy's concerned.

It seems some can't even wait for the season to start. A pre-season friendly is seemingly enough to bring the naysayers out in force.

'Sharp and Clarke can't play together!!!'
