Come on Blades , let’s ave it !

 

[FatPaul]

I'd prefer McGoldrick to start instead of Brewster but it looks about as good as we can put out. I'd be a bit miffed if I was Burke though.

I can't see Burke being too bothered by it. I feel he should be used as an impact sub, when the defences legs are starting to go.

 

[Caveblade]

Lundstram dropped Lowe in

Good, let's focus on the future. Nothing against Lunny but if he won't sign let's get the players playing who want to be here.

I can't see Burke being too bothered by it. I feel he should be used as an impact sub, when the defences legs are starting to go.

I don't think he's the answer upfront but I can see his value in a game like today given Man City's somewhat iffy defence at times. It's a fair comment about bringing him on as an impact sub and tired legs but that's on an assumption we'll still be in the game

 

[Davalon]

It's up to Wilder to decide how professional Lundstram's attitude and approach holds up now.

I've no problem with him being frozen out or played regularly. Just got to do what's best for the team.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Good no Jonah starting.

 

[Revolution]

Good man.

Bet you were well happy.

oh grow up. In fact, fuck you for suggesting that.

Ive supported this team my entire life. I want us to win every game. Just because I think we won’t doesn’t change that.

[Joshp]

Seeing this from one of our goal kicks gave me a good chuckle.

 

[FriethBlade]

Come on lads stop panicking and get stuck in.

 

[essyoueffsee]

I wish this was £14.99 so I didn't have to listen to Mcmanamanan

 

[Revolution]

again, fuck you.

using memes. What are you, a child?

 

[FriethBlade]

They are just walzing straight through us

 

[Kryten]

Got away with one there!

 

[Iceybabey]

Can't see us scoring, City are coming into it now.

 

[Joshp]

I think Ampadu is rather good at CDM but Norwood's tactical fouling would really help slow this game down and maybe just stop them slicing us open so easily. Can see him being brought on in the 2nd half if we manage to hold on.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

This commentary is absolutely disgraceful. In 20 minutes we’ve had every long ball cliche thrown at us:
-unfashionable team like Burnley
-Brewster won’t thrive in our loathsome style
-McBurnie hasn’t scored but is vital to our play (flick-ons)
-Dangerous from set pieces.

Making my piss boil

 

[Lawrence]

Tough game! Easy to see the gulf

 

[Davalon]

We look like relegation fodder to me.

I think most of us would think the same if it was a different team to us we were talking about.

I'll get this in now so there's plenty of time for me to eat my words.

 

[Bladesman98]

Fuck off

 

[Davalon]

This commentary is absolutely disgraceful. In 20 minutes we’ve had every long ball cliche thrown at us:
-unfashionable team like Burnley
-Brewster won’t thrive in our loathsome style
-McBurnie hasn’t scored but is vital to our play (flick-ons)
-Dangerous from set pieces.

Making my piss boil

Today I can't blame them because that's exactly how we're set up.

 

[Dutch Blade]

You gotta safe balls like this...

Making my piss boil

Take away set pieces and it is true though?

 

[Bladesman98]

What’s our plan now

 

[YES Blade]

Don’t even look like having a shot, let alone scoring. I know it’s a tough match but we look like we’re just trying to keep the score down before we even kicked off.

 

[Big.Dane.w]

What’s our plan now

 

[FriethBlade]

Been coming...I cant see what we are trying to do here. If we sit off like we are they just have 80% possession and pick us apart.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Looks like a long afternoon at the moment.

Ramsdale and Egan playing well, but our inability to retain possession the few times we get the ball is frustrating.

 

[Davalon]

again, fuck you.

using memes. What are you, a child?

Don't let him rile you mate. That's his sole MO on here.

 

[essexblade73]

A shadow of the team we were pre lockdown, horrible, look devoid of confidence and just hoofing.
