[MosboroughBlade]

That's not true he was heavily involved all game

He was poor today, gave the ball away so much, basics again.

 

[1987]

I think we would better if Mcburnie wasn't even on the pitch.

Those 100th minute pressure penalties win and score themselves

The 5 other chances he missed don't

Come on mate. We can be gutted Osula had to go off without dragging those who equalised for us right

 

[71Blade]

For me Vini was MOTM

Quite a few loose passes today better team would have punished us. He is playing alot better under Wilder in my opinion. Just very very casual at times for me.

Spot on pal. A sort of posturing confidence that threatens to get us unstuck at any slight error

 

[Lendegoeystash]

Be interested to read the eel munchers comments on Roy’s View later.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Ward-Prowse. Surely the most overrated player in the Premier League. He must have touched the ball five times and two were free kicks and one was the pen.

 

[Working Class Hero]

That was the best performance of the season for me, which makes it hard to take that we didn't get three points.

If Wilder had been there from the start I think we'd have comfortably stayed up, such has been the improvement, but dropping points in these last few games has probably put it out of reach.

The only real poor performance was Anel, who seemed a bit out of sorts.

 

[Mendi]

Good point, but needs win now.

 

[LJBlade]

The 5 other chances he missed don't

I can’t even remember one chance he had, never mind the 5 you’re suggesting he missed

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Spam fans crying on 606 about the ref. Having lived in essex for a few years, many of their fans have always been a bunch of moany wet wankers

 

[Foxy]

That one where he’d sneaked on in Brereton Diaz fancy dress he should have done a lot better with.

The shit.

That one where he’d sneaked on in Brereton Diaz fancy dress he should have done a lot better with.

That’s the only proper chance I can remember us missing.

 

[sheff_blade90]

Pity half the south stand had already left and didn't see it. Mental.

when will people learn. i would rather spend extra 30 mins in traffic & see the end of the game, because you never know

 

[Shawy24]

What did Anel do wrong today apart from that scare at the end of the game?

Quite a lot actually. Would take a long post to review and explain. I’ll have a go later.

 

[Thrice]

Ward-Prowse. Surely the most overrated player in the Premier League. He must have touched the ball five times and two were free kicks and one was the pen.

Tbf, his set pieces are on a different level. If there was an option for teams to sub in a player just for set pieces clubs would be tripping over themselves trying to sign him.

 

[Shawy24]

Agree 100% thought he was awesome TBF. Always available, tackled and generally distributed it well.

Some fans will instead focus on the couple of passes that went astray instead

ASTRAY! ASTRAY!? There’s astray and handing the ball to the opposition on a plate with a gilt edged chance to run in on goal and score. That wasn’t “astray “ it was positively shit from a premier league player and he needs bollocking for it.

Guess it wasn't where he meant it. So, astray then .

They're champions of Europe, we'll never sing that

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Interested to hear people had our formation down as today? I had it;

Foderingham
Bogle Anel Robinson Trusty
Souza
McAtee Hamer Brooks Brereton-Diaz
Osula

Some people have interpreted it as a 4-1-3-2 with BBD up top but dropping left side when they had possession.

In any circumstance, I thought our shape brought the best out of our midfield and Brereton Diaz gives us someone who can get in & beyond the opposition defence.

Alan Knill appears to be doing what he does best...

I’m sorry. I couldn’t bother a shiny shit about traffic because I wasn’t driving. I was just overcome by an overwhelming depression following seeing the biggest waste of space in a Blades shirt since Chris Guthrie or Dean Hammond being allowed to wander aimlessly around our pitch before once again contributing massively to fucking up our season as he has done for the last three years. If you believe in the multiverse you will realise my departure assisted in our equaliser.

Not sure if you mean mcburnie or brewster

 

[Shawy24]

A very good and well made point. I meant Brewster. I’m not McBurnie greatest fan, but I do acknowledge that he actually understands the game of football.

 

[Loco Blade]

You can’t beat going through the match thread and reading some of the posts . Fucking hilarious seriously! Boys and girls a little advice wait until the final whistle then have a moment to consider then post . But wait no don’t do that or I’ll not get my fill of comedy after I get home .
Todays best one for me -
MacAtee looks nervous about taking the pen he never was going to ask McB
Class bloody class

An entertaining take on a good day - thanks.
