Thank you Chris Morgan

[Pinchy]

'Twat' for a pig is quite kind

That's pathetic. Sorry.

 

[BladeFisher]

We've got our club back.

After 1 game? You're easily pleased! If we get the same result against Brentford, might be justified. As the man says....one game at a time.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

That is all!

Can I add:

Please leave at least two players up the pitch when the oppositon have a corner Chris.

 

[JohnDenver]

That's pathetic. Sorry.

Don't be sorry.

At times i am truly embarrassed to be a blade.

Danny Wilson was reight enough, tried to get us playing but didn't have the players. I've no gripe with him, just wrong place wrong time and all that.

 

[Princess Annes Dog]

Ah, that's the buzz. I'd forgotten. Top stuff.

Washed down with a gallon and a half of Easy Rider tonight. What a day.

Easy Rider is for girls, PBR is mans beer.

Quite agree. Apart from that, a truly excellent performance. Yesterday, the Blades (like Crawley on Tuesday) got in their faces and tried to affect every single ball. The first half was awesome - a bit subdued early in the second half but a second goal was always going to see off Swindon.

Too little too late for autos, I fear. But a two-legger in the play-offs suddenly doesn't seem too daunting.

Special praise for Flynn & Hill, a most intelligent substitution of McDonald to ensure he sees off the threat of suspension and at full time we had five of the Youth Cup Final team on the pitch!

Oh, and the crowd. Some have (wrongly) blamed the crowd for not cheering deliriously while watching the dross served up by Wilson's Wonderland. Yesterday proved that - given commitment and passion on the pitch - the crowd will respond.

What a performance! What a revelation! What a pity Wilson didn't go in February!

Morgan and Unsworth settling in nicely

Substitutions almost always look good when you're winning. Let's see how Morgs uses them to dig us out of a hole.

In fairness, they were quite important substitutions. At 1-0 the game was hardly won, Swindon had started to get more into it, and these helped us going forward - indeed, the 2nd goal happened after McFadzean and Whitehouse had been introduced. The easy thing would have been to assume that at 1-0 everything was still working. It was pleasing to see that at 1-0 Morgs was looking at how we could get that 2nd goal.

To flip your argument round, when you're a goal or two down, subbing people on is pretty easy - as it's clear a change is necessary. You can also afford to throw on a youngster as you might be at the stage when there's 'nothing to lose'.

Have you seen Blue Velvet? Pabst Blue Ribbon is for psychopaths.

Yesterday, How many substitutes, of the hundreds used, had a positive impact on their game? Billy Paynter did. We all know that. It was news. It isn't news when, as is overwhelmingly the case, they do little or nothing.

We do get carried away by illusions don't we?

Not seen it mate but, well, one or two on here who know me think I'm not all there so maybe there's something in that

I think the K-Mac substitution was to avoid him picking up a booking and missing on a 2 game suspension. Which as of today can no longer be applied. So from now on all we need to worry about on the suspension front is someone getting sent off.

I think the substitution of MacDonald was a subtle message from Morgan to him. Letting him know that he will do something that Wilson wouldn't.

Maybe so, however having him suspended for 2 games if he did pick up a booking especially when 1-0 up would have been criminal.

Morgan has said that McDonald was ill and was never going to last the full 90 minutes.
He should have kept his gob shut and left us all marvelling at his managerial genius
