[HeySethUTB]

We are getting deeper and deeper. Said it earlier on team news, no out ball in this line up. Nothing for Southampton to worry about.

 

[blades78]

We are just waiting for them to score.

 

[Blade58]

Wake up lads
Look half asleep following shadows

 

[boss hog]

How fuckin lethargic are we ,they're playing the way we played last season and we're stood off em ,they've won every 50/50.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

McBurnie/ Sharp literally not held the ball once. Everything is coming back which isn’t giving the defence any breathing space

 

[Willglynning]

This is the worst start we’ve had all season. Given how we normally fade away after starting strong, it doesn’t bode well.

 

[BettingBlade]

This is horrific. Pure Warnock shithouse football.

Wilder is hanging this lot out to dry. It's a joke.

 

[Old Programme seller]

We have no confidence whatsoever it’s like Leicester last week we need that ball and to pass it around, our players just to remember what it feels like

 

[YES Blade]

Have I missed a couple of sendings off or something? It’s as if they’ve got a couple of extra men!

 

[HeySethUTB]

Like every week unfortunately we look like sitting ducks. I’d take a draw right now.

 

[hull-Blade]

This is very very poor . Wake up Blades

 

[originaltrueblade]

First 15 mins we’ve hardly had a touch

 

[essexblade73]

Makes it worse having to listen to another piggy prick in ekoku

 

[drblade]

A tough watch

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

this is pathetic

 

[blade too long]

have we come out of the tunnel yet

we are losing 5 metre sprint challenges by 4 metres

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I’m literally waiting for them to score

 

[HeySethUTB]

28% possession apparently, Ramsdale leading in stats.

 

[BettingBlade]

Might as well go and get Big Sam. This turgid shite is far worse than anything he'd put out.

We might even get more than a point too

 

[8lade]

Jags having a great game

 

[BobblesBlade]

I’m not sure on this NO pressing tactic

 

[SUFCinks]

We are a skid mark in this league.

not even managed 1 pass yet

 

[Lawrence]

Very slow, We are not pressing up front! they are getting around the back of us, defence looks poor, midfield not in it? Don’t know what to say, I really don’t understand the team or tacktics

 

[DronnieBlade]

I seriously wonder why we even bother with midfield players these days.

Doesn’t seem much point .

UTB

 

[jono_t2000]

Wow. This is just absolutely rubbish. 11 players in our own half and they still finding acres of space.

We look like a non league team playing a Premier league team in a cup game.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Has the game started yet?

18 minutes played and we’ve not even touched the ball.
It’s like an attack versus defence training sesssion. We must be on 10% possession.

Just checked the BBC website and we’ve had 15% possession.

All the commentators have said about us is that “we work hard” and “we are determined”, it’s like we are a lower division side in the cup.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

I know our confidence is low and that they are a good team, but this is absolute anti-football. If it gets a result, fair enough, but it's a hard watch.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I’d rather watch Burke run around and fall over than the ball just coming straight back everytime

 

[HeySethUTB]

It’s a dive, same type of commentary that when it happens to a Liverpool player there stonewall cards. FUCK. OFF. TWAT!

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

get wilder out, this is embarrassing, would rather be in league one
