[Keen Blade]

We need to get back to that crisp passing of the first 30 mins where we literally passed through them - please don't panic and go long-ball

 

[Mad Mick]

Pleased with that apart from a couple of mistakes. Played some nice football and are going for it. Jebbison has done OK, but I'd bring Mc Burnie on. He holds the ball up better and will bully their defence.

 

[ATL Recs]

But we’re losing so all of that counts for nothing

Losing but not lost

 

[jt64]

First half was fine, keep as is and we'll win this, only real danger is another lapse like with JLT for the goal, or someone picking up a second yellow, but the ref doesn't seem like the sort that remembered his red so not overly concerned on the second point

 

[@thelane]

Lowe and Berge off….. passengers that we can’t afford

 

[Yoonited]

Despite the slating on here. We've absolutely bossed the midfield tonight. They've had one chance and scored.

If hecky has balls to keep same team going we should go on and win this.

(Berge getting slated on my commentary however, saying like playing with 10 men on occasions and switched off on their goal)

Carl Asaba saying the opposite and having one of his best for some time.Driving with the ball and shielding it well.
Opinions eh.

 

[ATL Recs]

Not saying he doesn’t but the issue is he is not good enough, and left wing back has been an issue for the last three years and we have not addressed it

More LCB

 

[RWE]

How is that shocker of a challenge on jebbo a yellow when a little shirt tug is as well? U cant tell me both are a serious as each other. Ref is a wankstain.

That’s what fucks me off, both completely opposite ends of the spectrum. He’s been fucking wank this ref, as all refs are in England

 

[Keen Blade]

How we have 3 players booked and them 1 I’m not sure. Ballard consistently fouling Jebbo and that leg breaker was a shocker. Players need to keep their cool and not let the ref wind them up as much as he doing to me!!

Ballard should at least be in the book

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Loving this display to be honest. Ref going to send someone off though.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Anyone slagging Berge off tonight need to wise up!

Ref hasn’t got a clue.

Really positive performance from the boys so far.
That was a brilliant goal! Right on the stroke of HT too to raise our spirits and put Sunderland heads down.
Come on the Blades!!!!

 

[coaxingstar71]

Much better tonight. Their No.5 Ballard should have had a yellow judging by the other cards given.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Ahh is that the prick’s name. Yes blatant hatred for us, even after reply of Jebbo wipe out carried on re crowding referee. Wanker!

I hate how often players surround the ref in general but you'll be hard pushed to find a game anywhere where several players won't react to a challenge like that.

It wasn't quite as bad on replay but in real time it looked a shocker and he could easily have took his shin or knee out.

McAnuff saying he can understand why our players reacted like that and could easily have been a red.

Conclusion? Don Goodman is a first class cunt...

 

[Davalon]

Generally much better apart from the fuck up for the goal.

Some decent options off the bench too.

Need to be brave.

 

[71Blade]

Loving this display to be honest. Ref going to send someone off though.

Agreed

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Baath holda jebbo back no card, go figure

 

[RWE]

Baath holda jebbo back no card, go figure

Just about to post the same, how is it any different to the shirt pulling first half?

 

[Flatcap]

Blackburn and Norwich both been equalised against. Now, for Luton to concede and us to pick up a win...

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Of course he books anel

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Ndiaye should of put that chance in the net. Great run by McAtee

 

[Flatcap]

Of course he books anel

Now that we are putting in a performance, who also thinks ref is gonna send one of our players off and lose us the game?

 

[RWE]

I’ll say it again Doyle is so fucking good int he?

 

[Flatcap]

GTFIIIIII

 

[biggiesablade]

Tommy Goyle

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Baath holda jebbo back no card, go figure

2 players pull Illiman back , no yellow ?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

What a GOAL for the Blades. DOYLE scores a fab free kick

 

[andybennett]

 

[K1 flabby stick]

too early!

 

[HarryHaslam]

Hope Hecky doesn’t get the jitters now and changes the side with subs that are not needed.. leave them they are cruising!

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Goodman seething!
