Strong challenge get a yellow. How the game has changed

Was a great challenge. But as soon as a player appears to get hurt it seems to an automatic yellow these days.

 

[Thrice]

Brewster so unlucky.

But I guess Portsmouth deserved that bit of luck. Even though it doesn't really help them.

 

[The Darton Blade]

Brewster through on goal again and ...........

 

[Iceybabey]

Just place the fucker ffs

 

[biggiesablade]

That'll do

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Play badly and win. Sheffield United 2024/25. I keep saying it's unsustainable but maybe it isn't.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Pathetic performance but great 3 points

 

[XADE]

Tactically inept beyond belief

Oh look

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Absolute paper over the cracks job. Garbage

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

How the bleep did we win that? A win papers over the cracks. Cliche but true. Not looking forward to Boro or weeds. And dreading the pigs in a few weeks.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Absolute paper over the cracks job. Garbage

Beat me to it

 

[paidsy]

Oh look

Please point me towards the wizardry today

 

[Sandygate Blade]

Played another "get out of jail" card today.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Wet entertaining game. Bad luck Pompey, deserved at least a draw.
Really had a good go.
Ogilvey, Lang and Murphy were outstanding.
Clarke, Cannon and Anel were terrible today.
We were really lucky to grab that win.

 

[toledo]

A long journey home for the Pompey fans but they go knowing they put on a great show and were mightily unlucky to lose that game ..

For us, wow, we have to do something quickly about our first half performances going forward……

toledo

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Go back and regroup, play like that vs Boro or Leeds and it could be an embarrassing scoreline

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Another 3 points and up to 2nd place for the BLADES

 

[Il Coltello]

The cracks are papered over once again.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Brewster through on goal again and ...........

Can't be scoring 3 now can we!

 

[BangorBlade]

That's a "Get out of Jail Free"
Actually feel for Pompey, 22 yrs in the RN always look for their scores bit of a fav.
Well onward and upward Wilder needs to sort this out IMO 4-4-2 would be the best set up atm

 

[originaltrueblade]

Wow got away with that

 

[Pavilion clock]

As I said last week happy with the win, not the performance. Shit again.

 

[biggey blade]

Played another "get out of jail" card today.

How many more can we have?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Shawy24]

Portsmouth should have been out of sight

 

[john Mathison]

Pompey fans must be gutted. What an awful display from us. Sorry not a keen Wilder supporter, just think he does not always appear to be watching the same game as us.

 

[Corkblade]

These long Robinson throws never amount to anything.

We never, ever score from one, so why do we do them?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Ooooft that was a slog. I remember the game at theirs being the same.

Depth and bench options won us that.

 

[biggey blade]

We was dreadful today and really didn't deserve to win don't agree with the red card posts I have seen pecks wasn't even a foul for me clearly won the ball and had the cleanest of contacts on the ball the player then chucked him self to the floor after a slight contact was totally looking for the foul and a red card is what he wanted uncalled for by their player. The others was yellow cards at worst. What is worrying is how many times we can play bad and some how scrape a win to many games coming up where that performance today leads to a heavy defeat and a big blow to the confidence of getting top 2

 

[biggey blade]

We never, ever score from one, so why do we do them?

Probably our most threatening of plays a lately not scored many due to bad play but definitely causes confusion and pack from the opposition defence if that was some one like dare I say it Leeds who Robinson was launching it into the box for they would score a shit ton from them
