[Rufus Smalls]

If only Burrows wasn't playing like a league 2 player all season

He has been poor this half.

 

[harrry1990s]

Oh Danny Ings…

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Get fcking ings off ffs

Could probably have brought that under control before shooting ?

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Ings runs like this dude, should hang his boots up

 

[PaulPeschBlade]

Chong good

Arblaster Bad


Wilder has chucked Arblaster in at the deep end

Chong / Hamer / Matos all can play CM

 

[Jan Age]

Think that’s a bit unfair.

Agree…..we look disjointed and don’t look that good…..but we’ve looked dangerous a few times and we look the more likely team to score.

Compare this to the Seles team….when we controlled games with possession and we looked a good team.
Then you realised we’d not had a single shot on target.

In fact Norwich remind me of the Seles team….they pass it around well but it’s all sideways passing and they have little penetration.

We’ve won 4 on the bounce so I don’t mind losing one … but the manner we will lose will be poor … and that’s what gets to me …

Just like earlier in season … good with the ball and poor without it

 

[VictoryBlade]

Well I aint being funny but that was very poor, typical United you stat to believe again then they give you this.

 

[jono_t2000]

Think Blaster needs to come off. Started off well then faded badly.

Norwich playing simple straight passes through our midfield

 

[Sheffsteel]

Ings again with a good chance that he’s missed in the final few seconds of the half.

Overall….think it’s been an underwhelming performance.
As expected we look disjointed but we’ve created the best chances.

Surprisingly……for a team near the bottom….Norwich look decent…..they look better than us but we’re more direct and look the team more likely to score.

This match looks like 2 mid table….run of the mill Championship teams playing each.

 

[BrisBlade]

If a sickness bug is going round the dressing room then some who are out there are likely playing through it and nowhere near 100%. Be interesting to see how Wilder manages the subs tonight.

 

[jt64]

Can a few more people not read the post on X with the lineup that explains there's been illness in the camp and ask why we've made a load of changes? I don't think there's been quite enough yet

 

[Sheffsteel]

Well I aint being funny but that was very poor, typical United you stat to believe again then they give you this.

Have you seen the team? Due to illness it’s almost a reserve team….it was obvious there was a good chance we’ve been disjointed…..and we have.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Sky app is an honorary Shoutboxer tonight

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Started well then looked a bit disjointed but then got back into it. Quite a few decent chances for both sides

Could argue we had the best of them

 

[JayGreen17]

What did he expect with making so many changes, like a new team playing together, we we need the points, I just don’t get resting players. It should be all in for the next game then assess, the most important 3 points are the next.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

He’s been extremely poor … another who wants the ball in attacking areas can’t be arsed defending

MORE

 

[Jan Age]

Well, apart from his header off the line………

He’s like JRS mate … not interested in tackling .. plus I don’t rate him either and never have

 

[Nah den]

We've actually had more possession this half than against Stoke, same number of shots too, just less clinical.

 

[derfblade.3]

Noravirus was in the camp last week. Looks like it's spread.

 

[XADE]

Think Blaster needs to come off. Started off well then faded badly.

Norwich playing simple straight passes through our midfield

He looked like he was struggling to train on the SU Youtube channel, really shocked they played him. But maybe this illness is that bad, there's probably more of them ill in the team or on the bench. Who knows though.

 

[YES Blade]

Have you seen the team? Due to illness it’s almost a reserve team….it was obvious there was a good chance we’ve been disjointed…..and we have.

It’s still a fairly decent starting lineup, it’s not as if we’re playing players out of position or throwing in youngsters.

Not ideal with Blaster and Chong first start after injury but we’re playing a poor Norwich team that we should still beat.

 

[Archer]

Don’t worry lads, Ings back out in long sleeves now, that’ll make the difference…

 

[Dave9777]

FFS making hard work of this one. Hope we nab a win. We’ve had the chances

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Bamford would have had a hat trick if he had the chances Ings has had

 

[Sheffsteel]

Only 3 minutes into the 2nd half but the signs are promising….we look more fired up.

Ings just missed another really good chance.

 

[drblade]

Ings who:?

 

[espoo blade]

Deadly from 1 yd!

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

GET IN, impossible to miss that one lol
