Fucking cursed

 

[FriethBlade]

Could really do with a second to put this to bed

I wish the cameraman on SUTV would stop showing us long, lingering shots of Mark Warburton. Maybe he thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread

Possibly because it could well be Warburton's last game in charge @ QPR tonight with the gossip coming from Loftus Rd

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

QPR equaliser coming any minute now.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Good game tonight Berge. Shame he was not as good as he's been tonight last Saturday @ Stoke

Nothing to do with sutv or cameraman. Its the director in charge of ifollow coverage for each game. Thats who sutv get the feed from.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Must hold out here, crowd are doing their part.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

MGW should of put that chance away and that surely would of been it for the Blades

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

We never do it the easy way. Stressed to the limit here!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Another home WIN for the BLADES and another clean sheet for Foderingham

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Still in with a shout of the play offs, needed that win.

 

[Blad]

Another home WIN for the BLADES and another clean sheet for Foderingham

That’s all we ask for

a more acceptable performance - still not creating enough chances but 3 pts is the main thing

 

[originaltrueblade]

Three precious points and always nice to see piggy bastard Westwood getting shit from the KOP

 

[robbiez666]

Big 3 points

Dominated the first half with a much better performance. Much more energy and pressing and they weren't in it at all apart from one chance. MGW causing them nightmares. Solid at the back. We tired quite badly second half. Kept going but it became more of an endurance test but got there in the end. We need to create more though and improve the set-pieces. Too men are pointlessly overhit.

Foderingham - 7 - Very solid. Didn't have a great amount to do but dealt with crosses pretty well.
Stevens - 5.5 - Looks a lot more solid defensively than RND but didn't give us much going forward. Still, good to have him back and less gaps with him in the team.
Davies - 6 - Looked much more solid on the left hand side and comfortable throughout.
Egan - 6.5 - Much better game defensively. Still looked a little uncertain with the high ball but marshalled Dykes pretty well
Uremovic - 6 - Good debut. Slipped and took the yellow but generally fitted in pretty well. Also got forward a bit and showed he could get back. Shame about the injury. Looked like it's a bad one
Baldock - 5.5 - Got forward better than Stevens but not much came from it. Defensively a bit hit and miss with Chair causing him a fair few problems.
Fleck - 6.5 - All over the place first half. So much energy and seemed to cover every blade of grass. Faded badly second half and apart from the goal most of his set-pieces were poor.
Norwood - 7 - Set pieces and distribution hit and miss but kept going and doing a lot more of the dirty work tonight. Deserved the goal.
Berge - 6.5 - Better performance and much more and an all-round one. At his best when driving to the byline but still needs to do more coming back.
MGW - 7.5 - MOM. Caused them all kids of issues during the first half and they could only keep fouling him. Looked to have tired badly second half but kept going and should have put the game to bed. Put a lot of effort in tonight
McBurnie - 6 - Started well and provided much more of a focal point first half. Played a couple of nice backheels but gradually became mired in arguing every decision. Made his physical presence felt. Tired but to be expected coming back from injury. Need to keep him fit if we stand any chance.

Subs

Robinson - 5.5 - Came on and played on the wrong side. Saw the limitations of this with him turning inside. Few things in and around the penalty box which a very harsh ref could have punished him for. Needs to cut that out.
Jebbison - 6 - Much better when he came on. Running the chances and causing their defenders problems. looked much more comfortable.
Osborn - Came on and added fresh legs, which helped us see the game out.

Hecky - 7 - Got the reaction after the weekend and we set up much better from the off. Despite tiring we pressured them throughout and hardly gave them any space. He gets criticised for his subs but I thought all three were right tonight.

QPR - Looked poor. Chair is skilful but other than that look midtable. Although, their defence did pretty well and put in some important blocks. Their keeper was hardly tested though. I'm not sure why they were persisting with the daft passing out from the back. Did us a favour but I bet their fans are livid. Their season looks run.

 

[SB_90]

it wasnt thrilling & i could be critical, about we made it tougher than needed & how we looked good going forward but rarely tested westwood, who the kop taunting of him entertained me greatly, but at this point of the year. points more important than performances. id rather win ugly & get the 3 points.

that was vital because our season couldve been all but over by tomorrow, if can put a full 90 together we can beat anyone, but if not we could lose to anyone. beat Bournemouth not only would right the wrongs of stoke as we realistically expected 6 - 7 from 9 so 6 points would but via a different route in the same position. & also it would mean bournemouth a 5 pts clear with games in hand. we know from 2012 how doesnt guarantee promotion

 

[Hull Blade]

Played well so far but he's fading fast, starting to look like he's totally out of energy

I told him his 5 shags a day habit, would catch up with him.
