Think Brewster has earned a start with his recent cameos

 

[Jan Age]

Loads better second half but fuck me we have to start scoring…

That’s the third game out of 4 we should have scored 3 or more goals and we haven’t

However another win so not much to complain abiut

We do defend really well though I must say

 

[jono_t2000]

Brewster probably best player for us lol.

But as wasn't on long have to give motm to Burrows, created the goal and put it on a plate for Moore to score but hit post.

 

[Blade58]

We’d be too if it weren’t for -2

Nay mind onwards and upwards

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Thought we were much better second half.

Brooks, Moore and Campbell all be kicking themselves not getting a goal. Never felt worried by Swansea

 

[Demblayards]

We’d be too if it weren’t for -2

Nay mind onwards and upwards

Souza Giving Away Cheap Fouls Thought He Played Well Though

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

One nil to the Arsenal, I mean Blades

 

[Bobby b]

Well, we were a lot better in the 2nd half and if the finishing was better it could have been 2 or 3 nil, but our passing in the final 3rd needs to improve, I genuinely feel that once we click we'll be great, but at the moment it seems a bit work in progress

 

[Headshrinker]

Not deserved but thanks to Swansea for scoring for us.

Not deserved? Which match did you watch?

Anel is the only player to start the last time we played Swansea in 2023! It's a new side and it shows.

Good teams win when they don't play well and that was us tonight. Even though we were sub par our xG must have be around 3.

Thing is against the top teams we can't keep missing those kind of chances and expect to take 3 points.

Brewster did well, his first touch is superb, but he should have played Rak Sayki in but you can understand why he went for goal.

Just saw Cannon got 4 for Stoke tonight

 

[William Large]

That was a pretty piss poor performance overall. Swansea were fairly shite but at times we made them look like Real Madrid with the way they passed the ball around us with ease.
Lucky for us that like us, they seemingly have fuck all up top.
Got to be happy with the win and clean sheet again but against better opponents you have got to worry about our inability to score. We were unlucky not score again in the second half however.
Thought Brewster’s touch and movement were superb when he came on and I would look to start him soon.

 

[SUFCinks]

Great 3 points but our lack of goals is a concern. Portsmouth got fucked for 6 goals today and the excuses last game is that they were a good team and starting to click. Reality check is they aren't, Swansea weren't but we made them look like Arsenal at times. We need to find goals, quickly, we need to be able to hold the ball much better against such average teams as well.

8 games in and still lots to improve on but we are in a very good position so fair play.

Brewster was really good, I thought Moore had one of his best appearances, all his touches and contributions found a man and kept the ball for us. Shackleton worked hard and contributed nicely and Cooper look steady although his distribution needs work.

As per the last 5 years though, we need to be better in possession.

 

[William Large]

Is O'Hare limping?

If he is then it’s the most I have seen him do tonight.

 

[Keen Blade]

0-0

Correct call apart from og - we were no threat

 

[Fatlad666]

Clean sheet again 1-0, 3 points nothing more to say only well done Blades

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Not deserved? Which match did you watch?

The match that had us miss placing way too many passes, struggled in the middle of the park, outplayed by an average Swansea, missed glorious chances albeit. 1-1 would have been a fair reflection on the game. We were very sloppy, Swansea looked lively, they need a goal scorer though. That game!!

 

[Surrey Blade]

Correct call apart from og - we were no threat

We hit the woodwork twice!

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[bonobo]

It feels like we have a floodgate full of players, for whom if they get one... the floodgates might open...

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[jt64]

Pretty mediocre stuff, threatened briefly early in the second half, but will take the three points.

And that is why you never, ever bet 0-0 correct score

 

[1066blade]

We are limping thru games. The need for a striker is blatantly obvious. To not sign one in the transfer window was total negligence.

 

[10-0 win]

Swansea always heavy possesion home or away, but ball mostly in own half. Most games are forgettable as this, only the points stand out. Save the better play for Leeds. Luton we'll probably start with Moore again. Arblaster a miss.

We did. He's just not doing it

 

[Keen Blade]

We hit the woodwork twice!

That's not even a shot on target

 

[Bobby b]

I absolutely agree with this, you've got Brewster, Rak sakyi, Moore, ohare and I would even throw soutters name in there as well

Like Tom Cannon ?
