I makes me wonder if the players got away with crap under Wilder and Selles is the other way. They're clearly not playing for the Manager that's obvious. I do feel sorry for Selles in a way. I do want him to succeed. But he's got hopeless owners and certain arseholes on the pitch taking the piss.

I get what you’re trying to say and want Selles to succeed but you really can’t blame everyone but him here. Everyone needs to be included.

Where’s the so called press
Where’s the so called excellence that Selles quoted
Where’s the so called high intensity

 

[Stevo71]

What exactly was the game plan today?

 

[SELondon_Bladette]

Its all well and good people saying to calm down and wait until the end of the window, but getting through the first month of fixtures without a win could be really psychologically damaging. They just dont look at it at all - a shadow of themselves last year

I think he needs a respected and experienced no nonsense second in charge. I think certain players are taking the piss with him.

Pushing in back a foul anymore?

Mine came off live scored table mate

 

[Chilttheblade]

One a poor man’s Osula , neither can hit a barn door

 

[Geeblade28]

No point talking about 6 point head start to teams looking at promotion. We are in a relegation battle.... has anyone seen anything inside 3 games that makes you think otherwise.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Mine came off live scored table mate

Mine did! Flashscore's live table.

 

[Surrey Blade]

That VAR decision looks even more monumental now. Sunderland bring in 7 expensive players in their victory over West Ham. Meanwhile.....

 

[luffenhamblade]

Forget the EFL giving points deductions, we're doing it to ourselves.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Pathetic. Players, management and owners all as bad as each other so far

 

[MartBlade]

The good news is that a very successful Championship manager who absolutely loves the Blades is currently available. I’d expect any competent ownership to go get him without delay.
Don’t need AI to see where we’re ending up without a brave decision soon.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

The season goes from sh1t to , well that performance

 

[skegblade]

Hope blasters back soon and his injury doesn't change him
Any idea when hes back?

 

[toledo]

After 2 games we are deep shit !!!!

 

[Lawrence]

Worst thing his, Swansea are rubbish

 

[jim2007]

 

[Railway Blade]

Is chaos ball being not very good in or out of possession ?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Dogshite garbage,only one way we are going with these tactics and manager............down the shitter.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Long old season ahead

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Not even sure what to make of that.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Not even 1 shot on target....none. zero. Ffs

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

That performance was an utter disgrace. Inexplicably bad, with no quality, no desire and all round brain dead decision making.

0 shots on target.
They should have had 2 or 3 more easily.

YOU CANT IGNORE THE FIRST 4 GAMES OF THE SEASON BY DELAYING TRANSFERS. How do we keep making this mistake every year!?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

A tough watch for our travelling Blades. Safe journey home All!

 

[Champagneblade]

No height so let's put in a looped cross at a corner. There are no words

No height when we sold a 6’5” forward and centre back and a 6’3” midfielder. Who’d have thunk it? FFS. Amateurs

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Difficult to find anything positive to say about that. At least we only conceded one, I suppose.

 

[SLB]

Pathetic. Players, management and owners all as bad as each other so far

And If Gus has any say in the matter I reckon he's off.

 

[BangorBlade]

Joking apart he'd have been my choice this summer. No idea if he'd have come though.

The good news is that a very successful Championship manager who absolutely loves the Blades is currently available. I’d expect any competent ownership to go get him without delay.

I agree but no point if COH & Bettis aren't going to splash the cash, even Pep couldn't sort this shit out.
