[CornwallBlade]

Hoever Chong and Campbell have to go off. We’re being skinned down our right flank. Get Bamford in for Campbell

 

[Lane Ender]

Contender for the worst half of the season been let off lightly

 

[SELondon_Bladette]

What was that from Chong, hoever already closing the man and he decides to not track man behind. Absolutely woeful

 

[Bladedog]

Brooks seriki Bamford on now..don't be giving this shower another 15 minutes

 

[Tom Bott]

Wonder if Wilder makes these selection to say to he board 'these aren't good enough'

He could be right though.

 

[SLB]

I can understand why he might rest players after Saturday and 9 men. I can’t understand why we’d think it was good idea to prioritise Ipswich.
PS not a wilder hater.

Make the right changes at HT and we'll get something out of this. I don't think they're much, we're making them look good.

 

[ATL Recs]

I'll be honest, I don't even know what our gameplan is? We look disinterested like against Burton.

Mansfield ? Or have I missed a game

 

[bakeblade]

That was utter rubbish.

Overpaid Prima Donna's going through the motions.

Hoever, Chong, Arblaster and Campbell cannot come out second half.
I'd make more changes if we could.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Five players to come off during the interval.

Hoever
Chong
Burrows
Arblaster
Campbell

 

[Back post bob]

Taxi for Hoover

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

We can't compete when we rotate because outside of 7-8 players, most of our squad is league 1 level

 

[Back post bob]

Five players to come off during the interval.

Hoever
Chong
Burrows
Arblaster
Campbell

Exactly

 

[The Crab]

Hoever has apparently played 8 games in the prem this season.

How?

 

[b1ade4life]

Fuck me. Did Chong get a three match ban as well?

If only , if he ever did I'd appeal it to try and get it doubled

 

[bxb]

What was that from Chong, hoever already closing the man and he decides to not track man behind. Absolutely woeful

And then waved his hands around..

 

[Nick Jansky]

Hoever, Chong, Arblaster and Campbell off at half time please. Seriki, Brooks, Davies and Bamford on.

McGuinness and Mee aren’t to blame, the problems are elsewhere.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Personally I've enjoyed the last 5 minutes, found it very entertaining.

The adverts have been on.

 

[b1ade4life]

Hoever has apparently played 8 games in the prem this season.

How?

90+1, 90+3, 90+5, 90, 89, 90+7, 90+10, 90+6

 

[Blademan89]

4231

Hoever, Chong, cannon, Campbell (and one out of arblaster or peck) off

Seriki, Brooks, bamford, hamer & Davies on.

Then take your pick out of arblaster and peck, both woefully bad, slow and playing same style pretty much on each other's toes (hence nothing linking in middle) and davies on.

Big changes on 45 show some bollocks and drag um off.

So slow and side ways, Southampton are in 1st gear and we can't get close to them. Let alone let anything stick up top, I do feel sorry for Campbell & cannon, absolutely nothing feeding them.

 

[bakeblade]

Starting Chong over Hamer is fucking criminal

And Brooks

 

[Jan Age]

Chris Wilder showing all his limitations here tonight … Ching should be nowhere near the first team and that RB is a woeful signing that he selected …

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Hoever Chong and Campbell have to go off. We’re being skinned down our right flank. Get Bamford in for Campbell

Campbell has done more than cannon to be fair

 

[Blademan89]

I wasnt too keen to start with seeing nearly same line up as against Mansfield tbh. But the lack of effort in getting forward and ball forward is astounding.

 

[Blade In Flame]

Hoever has apparently played 8 games in the prem this season.

How?

He played in goal.

 

[Matlock Blade]

He's saving our best team for the game against the pigs.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Did somebody forget to plug the Hoever in?
That was a pretty bad performance.
Both Hoever and Chong just aren’t very good players and to make it worse they have zero understanding.
So many lackluster performances there.
Arblaster and Campbell also not doing a thing.
Bench looks strong and major changes required.

 

[ATL Recs]

were paying the price for not getting players in yet im certain wilder has admitted defeat in this game before a ball had been kicked hes obviously thinking of ipswich but were likely to lose against them with a full first team.out

But we won’t have a full first team on Saturday

 

[Blade In Flame]

Hoever sucks!

 

[bakeblade]

Hoever, Chong, Arblaster and Campbell off at half time please. Seriki, Brooks, Davies and Bamford on.

McGuinness and Mee aren’t to blame, the problems are elsewhere.

We can all see it, can Chris?

 

[Davalon]

Only positive is that we're only 1 down
