[Alex Cheeseright]

Still not playing as a team. No one knows where their team mates are going to be, flick ons to no one, one touch to no one, hoofs up the field to no one. Another week where the players met in the pub an hour before kick off. Only plus is Stoke seem clueless how to break us down. Expect a second half beat down, Robbins will have figured it out and made changes. Wilder will be happy to be zip zip at the half, "more of the same boys".
Sigh

I find myself getting so wound up by United and how frustrating our performances are every week, and I know I should just accept this is us under Wilder. He isn’t going to change.

We were shite to watch when we had Hamer, O’Hare, Brooks, JRS, Souza, Anel and we were the third best team in the division. And we were told by Danny Hall & Rob Staton we were ‘entitled’ because promotion mattered more than entertainment.

Well now we’re even shitter to watch, with a boring group of players, and the best we can realistically hope for is mid table.

I’m BORED of us. We’ve been boring for years. Is it really entitled to want to see my team attack a little, play some nice football, have a bit of a go?

Plenty of us share your frustration blades 95.

 

[VictoryBlade]

It’s laughable that the owners thought he needed a new contract, fuck know who they thought was going to try and get him. It’s further proof that they haven’t got a clue!

Sorry, how long has he got now till......?

 

[Sean Thornton]

The good news is we're not losing. The rest is a depressing half of football. Galbraith and Soumare have control of the middle and Peck is fighting a losing battle on his own. Phillips and Arblaster non existent. At the back RND is doing ok. Baptiste looks a little flakey against pace. Up front there isnt one. We havent won one ball in the air and we are reduced to long aimless punts. No pace, no plan, no passing that will open up the opposition.

Stoke will do what all teams do against us just after half time push up 10 yards and we will fail to react.

Donovan has to come on early but that would require a proactive tactical decision. SUFC coaching staff dont do pro active.

It’s okay. He can trust these……

 

[LS5 Blade]

40 mins away from a 3 week break from this turgid shite!

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It's a shameful squad and style of play for a recent PL team

Yet for what we have available today's gone as well as possible so far

 

[luffenhamblade]

Bloody hell, didn’t see that coming

 

[RAH_blade]

Great goal

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Great goal

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Do you think he meant that? Who cares?! Get in

 

[Brumdog66]

Accomplished away performance

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Do you think he meant that? Who cares?! Get in

He looked up and saw the gap

 

[Champagneblade]

Wow! Phillips!

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

KALVIN DAVID BECKHAM

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Trust the plan

 

[SwissBlade]

Soft free kick given away by their midfielder, everyone lines up for the cross, Phillips slams the free kick in on the keepers near post.

Lovely

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Come on do t sit back it’s there for the taking

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

Hahaha! I don’t know how we keep doing this but I’ll take it!

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Get Cannon and Donovan on for Blaster and BBD

 

[Niallllll]

Wilder carried again by a moment of magic from an individual.

 

[YES Blade]

Donovan’s pace on the break could be really handy

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Wilder carried again by a moment of magic from an individual.

Not like he hasn't been bigging him up all summer.

 

[BangorBlade]

Now let's try to defend for 30 mins

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

What was everyone worried about?

[Champagneblade]

Maybe it’s become a habit but it’s so well known how bad we are in the 46-60 period I’ve spent the last 5 minutes counting it down!

Have to add, I’m liking Kitching the more I see of him!

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Refs are so pathetic, thats never a foul

 

[SwissBlade]

Wilder carried again by a moment of magic from an individual.

Aye, good goal from a good player

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Kalvin smart player ...smart goal.

 

[drblade]

What is Kitching doing? We are winning..

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Fucking well done Kitching
