Stevens

[Slim Man]

Very very bad lately. Completely out of sorts. Can’t defend and can’t pass or cross.

My point is if Lafferty isn’t trusted to play when our LWB is playing truly awfully why did we sign him permanently? He’s played more games at centre half or centre mid this year than left back.

Another in dire need of a rest. He looks tired. Very tired. Everything is now slower and he takes much longer to get the ball into the box, and it's normally a poor delivery.

 

[Caseh]

I think I'm missing what many on here are about Stevens, I don't think he's been playing badly at all. He's looked tired at times (understandable, considering his lack of rest) but overall I don't think his performances have been bad.

Is anyone not going to get a thread off you tonight telling us how shit they are ? Why the fuck do you go ?

If we’re talking squad rotation, then Lafferty for Stevens would be a good move. He looks in poor form

Oh here he is, the donut. One bit part player (whom several have created a thread about) and our first choice left back.

I bet you love seeing us play poorly knowing you can argue with people who aren’t happy seeing us roll over. Weirdo.

You just love slagging Utd off. Left handed typing when we lose ,get another thread started its been a good 10 minutes.

Same here, think he’s been fine and more often than most has been creating chances down the left, solid defensively but gets caught out at times understandably with how much he gets forward

Him and Baldock are a fantastic pair of full backs and would start in most sides in this division in my opinion

 

[McGrath]

He's not really ghosting past players like Baldock does and doesn't seem to cause defences many problems apart from the occasional over lap

Ah yes, seeing ex Wednesday tossers score against our bottleless (today at least) team is my drug.

Have you ever slagged a united player off by any chance? You are the best Blade in history I think. I’m yet to see a better one.

 

[adebo]

Lafferty will get his chance in the FA Cup next week and Stevens Baldock Donaldson and O'connell will all get rests as they are all showing dips in form

I'm sure he has slagged off a Blade or two, but he doesn't do it with quite the enthusiasm that you do...

He must enjoy seeing us be embarrassed by league one cloggers a bit more than I do then.

Haha. It’s true

 

[Rodley]

Thought Stevens has been below par recently but was alright tonight.

 

[Slim Man]

Haha. It’s true

Translates to something like ‘oooh Sitwell, notice me and like my post please mate. Haha. Cheers. Haha. Happy New Year’

Even your piss taking is insipid Danny. It’s time to turn it in pal.

Coming from someone with the grammar befitting one that is very rich.

Stevens was a massive upgrade to Lafferty first 12 games. Since then he seems to have gone a bit gun shy. Far too keen to turn back and roll it back to O'Connell rather than back himself. Defensively a bit lax.

Overall he looks a great signing but he's either lost confidence or got lazy. Either way we could do with a challenger for that spot

We have been on a bad run of form you utter moron. When the team is playing poorly most individual players look bad so making a thread slagging off each isn't very useful is it.

 

[Ricky]

Lafferty should have started yesterday so now he should start at Derby instead.

I’m the utter moron? When you can’t see players need dropping when they’re out of sorts and there’s a replacement on the bench?

Good one

And I think you’ll find it’s 2, one first teamer and one tragic bit part player, nobhead.

Feel sorry for him. Can’t be nice knowing no matter how bad Stevens plays he won’t feature

 

[Grappler]

Lafferty livened the game up at Preston, and we looked a bigger threat with him on the pitch.

 

[Iceybabey]

Thought he did well today, looked like his old self for large parts.

 

[Steve Mackan]

I think him and O'Connell have dropped from 7.5s every game to 6.5s and this doesn't help either. Both of them have been poor at distributing the ball of late. Should both get a rest for the FA Cup.

 

[Asabanana]

Would be nice to see one of his crosses not hit the first man at some point this season.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

I agree - his crossing into the box IS poor and has been a lot of the season.

Needs to improve this part of his game tbh.

UTB

 

[Iceybabey]

Thought this lad was solid tonight. Strong in the challenge and in retaining possession out on the left. Wonder if Hoilett's still in his pocket?
