[fifty shades of blade]

Wouldn't Stoke need a shot on target for them to score

Some crushing negativity on here today...

I'm really enjoying us being so dominant

There's a snall group of unlucky alfs on here. I find them amusing...oh bugger

 

[Irv]

We will draw this or lose 2-1 is my prediction….

Absolutely toothless in the 18 yard box

Hopefully I am woefully wrong

Hope you didn’t put a bet on- you’d have been even more displeased.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Their keeper has made some great saves tbf

He has but that campbell goal was a howler from him

 

[drblade]

Anel been good today too

 

[Jan Age]

Hope you didn’t put a bet on- you’d have been even more displeased.

Gladly I was hopelessly wrong although I still think wilder has a lot to learn in responding to tactical tweaks by the opponent

First 45 mins we were dominant

2nd 45 I would argue Stoke were the better team.

In either half we still aren’t good enough in the box.

However, great win and much needed after two poor performances

 

[gooseh]

Anel been good today too

He's been pretty solid since he told his dad to do one

 

[Yakblade]

How many fouls does their 24 have to make before he's booked? That last one alone deserved a yellow. Not saying ours weren't deserved but he's a lot go for them with no punishment

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Another clean sheet for Super COOPER and 3 points for the BLADES

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Would like to see the same 11 start against Blackburn. Granted Anel won't be playing. But keep Keifer and Tyrese upfront, get a partnership developed. Getting worried about O'Hare, he's a good player but nothing seems to be working for him.
Professional win, onwards and upwards

 

[Berkshire Blade]

League table looks pretty good considering some peoples meltdowns

 

[William Large]

Performance and result which was needed today. A bit more composure and awareness in the box and we could easily have scored 4 or 5.

 

[St Albans Blade]

Why do I sense a narrow high scoring defeat today, followed by a drubbing at home to the Wendies!?!

Presume I just sense this squad just isn’t gelled or spirited enough?!!

It’s all feeling a little 1980/81; brilliant then implosion!

Glad to see my gloomy prediction was utterly wrong. UTB.

 

[FriethBlade]

Listened to a radio Stoke commentary on a dodgy stream on holiday and they reckoned we were totally dominant. They thought Stoke were never in it and said it looked like what it was, a lower table team vs one likely to go back up to the premier league

 

[fifty shades of blade]

3-1 Stoke.

This aged well. He'd have been on here boasting he was right if it had happened. I wanna hear some humbly pied words from you jimmy lad

Agreed first half 14 shots second half 5 that's a big difference Wilders subs don't seem to make an impact on game

Hamer for O'Hare and Robinson for Anel should be the only changes next week, kind of surprised we didn't give Robinson some minutes today as the last half hour was nice and easy, apart from when we created chances for them. Not sure why we use Shackleton at right back when there's a much better right back on the bench, he was constantly losing it or wandering off into midfield.

Gutted (from a Stoke fan)

 

[tyke1889]

It’s difficult to look forward to this game other than with the presumption that ‘Things can only get better’
But perhaps I can DReam on.

We seem to be operating with a head two with the persona of the Laurel and Hardy characters
ie a blank looking dimwit obvious to what is going on at all and a fat pretentious bullying halfwit with what are laughingly called tactics’ designed by the Chuckle Brothers with team substitutions written by Fred Basset on the back of a fag packet – times and all.
I am looking forward to lip reading the 4th official saying ‘you haven’t got a Benson or a Hedges on the subs bench’

Incidentally – a should be win today (despite the heritage in the Prem League our mighty opponents have giving them enormous advantage over poor heroic Chris Wilder) and we are back to 2 points a game average and automatic promotion.

Now tell me this is NOT a shit league, largely because of imbecilic tactics by almost all these F***wit managers.

Fuck me, I'm glad I don't live in your head mate

 

[tyke1889]

(INSERT TRANSLATION: HERE)"

""I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about"

 

[jt64]

Will take that. Steady enough, maybe could have got more, at the same time while the Stoke fans were giving accurate assessments of their team, them getting one wouldn't have been that unreasonable.

Didn't realise Tchamadeu started for them, someone who I thought would have been worth a look the summer before last, don't know if they have injuries at RB or if he's just naturally ascended to being a starter

 

[10-0 win]

Might go with Norrington for Anel to have some speed. Anel back to his best will be missed. Probably less changes without midweek games. Sereki a surprise starter. Robbo is Robbo never quite know what we get except going all in.

 

[ancientblade]

stoke were terrible apart from coopers error which he more than made up for they could have played while the clocks went back and not scored if we had any sort of attack we would have got 5 or 6

 

[toledo]

Credit where credit is due, Vini S is the difference in midfield in the Championship... he was bad last year because we were bad last year.

This season he is enormous and runs midfield: this is what we ask for in our midfielders right?

PotS so far for me.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Fuck me, I'm glad I don't live in your head mate

Got a pic of it

 

[Frank the tank]

Struggle to score again, no plan, pass it round the back… 0-1

Hmm

Not sure what game you were watching

 

[1987]

I didn't watch the last 5 minutes, but until then I thought we utterly controlled that game. Great win, deserved win, comfortable win.

 

[vas borbokis]

Ben Toner fresh out of Legue 1......never seen him.

Haha
I was sure they announced him as Ben Dover!
Like watching the Simpsons.
