Lovely gesture from Bristol City by the way...

 

[Flumps]

I don't understand how sharp is so much fitter than him

As far as I'm concerned he should be paying very close attention to Sharp and McGoldrick, their work rate, dedication and wisdom will teach him so much.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

A bit flat this
We don’t half miss the crowd

Think the crowd would be flat watching this too. It’s one of those typical mid week cup games with two stands open and £10 a ticket

 

[originaltrueblade]

Brewsters off ball movement is equal to a cart horse without wheels

 

[Geordie Blade]

Sharp just doesn't know when to give up. See him teeing up the overhead kick just then. Even at his age he's still giving Ronaldo a run for his money. Deserves it.

Ronaldo’s older than Billy.

 

[Tonepone]

I want Brewster to do well, but the few times he gets the ball so far, he can't make a 5 yard pass

 

[Drunk blade]

As far as I'm concerned he should be paying very close attention to Sharp and McGoldrick, their work rate, dedication and wisdom will teach him so much.

I genuinely don't think he could give a toss he's happy to pick up his £30k a week and do fuck all

 

[SouthportBlade]

Slow game, slow play.

Bogle looks really bright, only real spark in the team.

Brewster offering very little.

Lundstram also showing why he's a limited footballer - give him time on the ball and offers little to nothing apart from recycling the ball.

 

[Arcott]

Still think Bryan would have been better option than Lowe, far better crossing.

 

[mcbladeface]

Only just realised Jack Hunt is playing. Ah, memories.

 

[Flumps]

Ronaldo’s older than Billy.

Very true, honestly did not know that till I just looked.

 

[Blades80]

Just no desire from Brewster.. wants it all on a plate.

 

[The Bear]

Think the crowd would be flat watching this too. It’s one of those typical mid week cup games with two stands open and £10 a ticket

Like a boring Championship game (a prelude perhaps)

 

[shrubbery]

Billy must have had 10x the touches as Brewster due to his intelligent running and awareness.

 

[JackSUFC]

This has been pretty dreadful so far.

 

[Jan Age]

Do we ever look to take a player on? Or hope to pass it around them at a snails pace?

 

[Drunk blade]

Is this a chance to get to the quarter finals of the fa cup or a pre season friendly?

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

Egan’s face said it all then. So naive by Lowe given a freekick away. Been his game so far that.

 

[Working Class Hero]

Think the crowd would be flat watching this too. It’s one of those typical mid week cup games with two stands open and £10 a ticket

I don't think we've ever had that for a 5th round game have we? It usually gets a lot more interest at this stage.

 

[shrubbery]

Shocking build up play again. Fuck around with it for 20 passes around the box, refusing to take on a couple of decent shooting opportunities to then play a wank ball out wide forcing a shit cross straight into the keepers hands.

 

[Tonepone]

We look so much worse on the ball without Norwood, but him not playing probably saves us a goal defensively

 

[Working Class Hero]

Brewsters off ball movement is equal to a cart horse without wheels

That's worrying for me. I expected good movement from him when we signed him but he really hasn't got any at all as he?

 

[robbiez666]

needs more tempo and quicker passing. Lunny doesn't move the ball quickly enough

 

[Iceybabey]

Brilliant half that...

Because I sat the kids down and made them watch it...

Now they're all fast asleep and I can put them in bed ☺

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

I dont like it

 

[dillis]

Another shocking half of football. Need a rocket at HT. We simply do not have the players at the top of the pitch to break teams down

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

We're not just toothless, we're fucking gumless.

 

[Blade58]

For me, Osborne for Lowe, McBurnie for the Bruce

 

[originaltrueblade]

No running no awareness looks disinterested it’s like ten men when he plays...if we are to win this it won’t happen unless a change is made up front

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Brewsters off ball movement is equal to a cart horse without wheels

Horses don't have wheels

 

[skyjam]

We are fuckin crap right now ffs
Gerra grip wi what ya watching
It’s pathetic
