Just put Bash right back and Bogle left. Change the midfield with McGoldrick in the hole. What do I know but it’s a must win

So your plan to win is make a sub that puts two players in wrong positions?

 

[BobblesBlade]

Can’t watch the game but I guess we are doing the usual. Giving a soft goal away and pedestrian passing so crap up top.

 

[robbiez666]

Why would you turn it off? We're in this game.

 

[Drunk blade]

If wilder can't see that this formation isn't working there is no hope, big Sam is just a better manager he's outdoing him tactically

 

[true99blade]

These ship 3, 4, 5 most weeks. We look terrified to really go for it and shock horror it’s bitten us on the arse again. Every single player wants a bollocking at half time.

 

[Blades80]

Norwood will be back in come Sunday though doesn’t matter how bad he plays.. when you don’t have competition for places players get lazy.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Odd game to choose.

 

[dn5 shaun]

I've turned a game involving United off.

see you when were back in prem then

 

[Mojo]

We look wide open at the back kamakaze defending

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

I think if the game stays how it is wilders job has to be in question. The way we attack is piss poor and we do the same thing every time. Get it up the pitch then just stop and piss about with it on the wings, allowing all of their players to get back. Anyone that thinks this will be effective in the championship, or at least effective enough to get us promoted, is completely wrong.

 

[bakeblade]

All on Wilder. Team selection is unreal again

Even big Sam's sussed out how to beat us.

 

[toledo]

The thing is.... losing today is a guarantee for the drop but for some reason the players are not playing as if that is a concern to them...

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

So your plan to win is make a sub that puts two players in wrong positions?

Bogle is already on the left? My game plan to win is by not wasting a sub on Max Lowe to stick with this formation.

You mean like last time we were in the championship?

 

[HackeyBlade]

We are bossing the game! It’s only an amount of time when it happens for us.

Can I watch the game you're watching? if you think fucking about with the ball and doing jack shit with it is "bossing" then god help us

 

[YES Blade]

Best part of £100m spent and only 3 players that are new post championship can get a game....even one of them is a loan

and the only one you really wish was playing from the championship team is warming the Man U bench

 

[Eskimo]

Enjoy your book or the train set. Have your tea

He'll change it up at half time, changing the system and making a couple of subs to increase our threat going forward.

Lol jk.

 

[BettingBlade]

He should have held the first shot instead of pushing it out, no chance after that.

Tbf to him, he’s probably been told to try and not hold it because of the wet weather, regardless of whether anyone thinks that’s right or not, I’m pretty certain that keepers at the very top level are told the same in the modern game. However, I think he should be palming it into a better position if Im being brutally harsh as it’s not a reaction save like the second one is.

Let’s be honest though. A lot of shit happened in the build up that should ah e been prevented.....again.

 

[Blade58]

I'd be giving Lunny a rocket n'all. Norwood's been poor and Fleck's been a bit reserved but at least they've kind of showed for the ball. Lunny's just hiding himself out on the right, can't think of one time we got down that side and him being involved.

Not my kind of player Lunny

He gets credit for dinking a nice cross in for Billy, but 45 mins to just see a cross, not for me

Too many times he’s in an attack and he receives the ball, stops, puts his foot on it and passes it backwards and any momentum is gone

For me, hurry up and sign for someone else

So fkin frustrated wi him and others

Come on show some fkin fight ffs

 

[Geordie Blade]

It’s not over yet. 45 minutes to step up the speed and battle for everything. We can do it.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Your lass wants to watch Emmerdale

 

[JackSUFC]

The thing is.... losing today is a guarantee for the drop but for some reason the players are not playing as if that is a concern to them...

I can only assume the players wages won’t be reduced and people’s jobs won’t be at risk due to relegation. That’s how they’ve played more or less all season.

 

[DroitwichBlade]

The difference is they break with pace and pack the box, we amble up at a snail's pace and pack the wing to play tippy-tappy-walkie-ball until we lose it. Fucking pathetic Wilder. Your tactics are shit!

Yeh those tactics that got us from League 1 to the Premier League....yeh,shit.

 

[bartman]

Isnt that down to the manager?

 

[AWetFlannel]

Bogle is already on the left? My game plan to win is by not wasting a sub on Max Lowe to stick with this formation.

Bogle was playing out of position. Bringing Lowe on means they are now both playing in their proper positions.

The back four you suggest is an absolute mess, I would be horrified if Wilder did that.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

It’s not over yet. 45 minutes to step up the speed and battle for everything. We can do it.

Yes we can, just not with this formation and team in my opinion. We’re resolute, but lack so much creative flair

 

[Geordie Blade]

Thanks for letting us know.

Give us two rings when you’re home safe.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

It’s not over yet. 45 minutes to step up the speed and battle for everything. We can do it.

no chance, they will play the same and probably score another

 

[coolasanidiot]

Doom gloom and doom- get off their backs- the best team in first half are losing. Playing with such pressure on a match is obvs very difficult. Match ain't over at all.

No one at all is having a mare- in fact Bogle/ Amps/ Egan/ Goldy playing well.
