Why chase Brewster all summer, basically beg for him in the press, spend £23.5m(!) on him and then never fucking use him?! It’s utterly bizzare.

He was good in championship, long term planning

 

[JPSharpy93]

I was happy with first half performance, there was commitment, some decent play and we offered a threat, I should’ve turned it off then. The second half is horrific, the midfield has disappeared again

 

[essexblade73]

He didn't stand his ground at all, he flapped like fuck. Not sure what you're watching

He came out then stood his ground, if he had carried on moving he would have taken their bloke out.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

got to question the thought process for putting jags on.

we be doing better if we put him in fucking goals.

Its bizarre, I'm struggling with Wilder now. I could weep at the money hes pissed away on players who are worse than we had. A bladie blade goalie signing, 20 million on a kid striker who had never played a premiership game, a sprinter who's good at running but not good at football and 2 young defenders who we didnt need and dont seem anywhere near the standard needed. Its an horrendous use of funds.

 

[McGoaldrick]

By playing the slowest man in the premier league possibly against the fastest forward line...

It was just never ever going to work. I guess he wanted some height but Jesus Christ. It was the wrong decision all day long

Precisely. Not like we didn’t know this either...

Shipped 6 goals against the bastards last season with Jags in defence. Jags vs a team with target men strikers, sure, but ffs don’t play him against the Rashfords Martials etc

 

[Dnblade]

Why ? What was the point of jags to just come off ffsq

We're saving his legs for Brighton.

 

[BettingBlade]

Can he take penalties tho

We might find out if we make it to the play offs next year

 

[bartman]

We don’t look interested whatsoever

Rubbish

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

We are lambs to Slaughter. So predictable.

First 10mins fine, you feel like this is the game we're show our old selves again and kick start our season then we slip into a footballing coma for the rest of the game, roll over and have our bellies tickled.

It's so frustrating.

 

[Il Coltello]

We don't belong in this league any more, which after last season is soul destroying.

 

[VwBlade]

He came out then stood his ground, if he had carried on moving he would have taken their bloke out.

You gonn defend him spilling their 3rd as well?

 

[bartman]

Ramsdale SHOULD have saved 2 of theirs tonight.

Two ? No fault of his for the first two

 

[Dnblade]

Glad Egan blocked that...would have been painful.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

3 strikers on and not 1 shot on goal in the second half.

 

[blades78]

We aren't even trying to keep possession, just hoofing into the channels and hoping.

 

[essexblade73]

You gonn defend him spilling their 3rd as well?

No. He was at fault for that. It's just I'm not one of those nobheads who blames certain players for anything...only immature bullies do that...and ironically, given your initial post which sparked my reply, bullies are cowards

 

[Blade82]

Ironic thing is we’ve gone ahead v Man Utd Chelsea & Liverpool. If we actually did that against Weat Brom, Fulham & Leeds we may have had a few more points.

 

[albinonick]

You gonn defend him spilling their 3rd as well?

He didnt spill the 3rd it went under his body! If you are going to rip the lad apart at least Get it right u twat!!

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Trying to think of positives - Ally McCoist seems like a nice man.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Two ? No fault of his for the first two

Yes the one where he closed his eyes and it rolled over his chest.

 

[VwBlade]

He didnt spill the 3rd it went under his body! If you are going to rip the lad apart at least Get it right u twat!!

Face facts, he was a waste of 18 million. Poor goalie.

 

[RWE]

I’d be here all day trying to sum this match/season up. One word. Painful.

 

[BobblesBlade]

I’d give Brewster and Moussett a start against Brighton. Play 4-3-1-2

 

[S1blade]

Playing like they’re already down mathematically. It’s absolutely dreadful. Not even Sunday’s game could shame them into putting in a shift or playing with a bit of heart and endeavour.

 

[essexblade73]

Face facts, he was a waste of 18 million. Poor goalie.

He might be but he wasnt at fault for the 2nd despite what you say

 

[VwBlade]

No. He was at fault for that. It's just I'm not one of those nobheads who blames certain players for anything...only immature bullies do that...and ironically, given your initial post which sparked my reply, bullies are cowards

I'm not bullying him, I'm stating the obvious. I'd have loved the lad to have done well upon his return to us but unfortunately he's nowhere near premier league standard. And the same goes for pretty much our entire squad

 

[Swinton Blade]

Trying to think of positives - Ally McCoist seems like a nice man.

At least he calls us by our full name.

 

[Lawrence]

Good little spell

 

[Dnblade]

Lads have kept going, credit for that.

 

[HD8 Blades]

Face facts, he was a waste of 18 million. Poor goalie.

He’s underperforming. should have done better for their 3rd. Wilder not be blame. We’d all have have said that for our budget he was the or one of the best options available
