Match Thread The Mighty Blades v Frank Lampard's Derby County

[Topplayersleave]

I get yer, you mean like that well known hooligan Messi? Always in the headlines for the wrong reasons that lad, never amount to anything the way he behaves

Our fans wouldn't want Messi

Nobodies worth £15 million in wages even if he does sell £100 million in shirts alone

Our fans haven't progressed to that level of thinking yet

3-1 to Blades. Today’s the day it all comes together.

I've got two Blades with me so did a quick straw poll - want Messi? They'd crawl from Wath to watch him if he wore the red and white, so that's no longer an unproven opinion. Think a bit harder, you're not making any sense.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Unchanged.

Have a day off

Them lot aren’t happy with team selection

 

[Speedracer]

I am still optimistic but last weeks result really surprised & shook me a bit as well, but is about time that we played well for 90 minutes & had the rub of the green for a change, so going for 2-0 with crossed fingers.

I think you've struggled to understand the sarcasm

I think you've struggled to understand the sarcasm

As I imagine many others have too

Derby dominating possession. We can't seem to keep hold of the ball

 

[FriethBlade]

Get in Billy

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Great Billy goal...boy we’re looking shaky at the back though. Be amazed if Derby don’t score..good game so far.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

We’ve not been able to get on the ball really – Norwood in particular hasn’t been allowed any space with the ball. Delivery from the wings has been mostly terrible from some decent positions, the best two opportunities created being from Stevens with his head (his feet have not been good today) and JOC for Sharp’s goal. Thought JOC & Sharp were probably the pick of the team first half even before then.

 

[shrubbery]

That was genuinely one of the most disjointed and lacklustre 40 mins of the season and then we finally decide to put a first time cross in rather than fucking around with it out wide and Billy scores. Learn the fucking lesson. Merry Christmas.

Crowd seems up for it today - maybe time for an assault of the Kop as used to happen so many times in the big games yesteryear.

You mean the move where we opted not to cross it over early from the right and instead patiently worked it over to the other side till we created a better opening to cross?

 

[FriethBlade]

2 big chances missed there

 

[FriethBlade]

Definite pen on the replay

Definite pen on the replay

A definite penalty and a red card, just a ridiculous decision.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Yep definite penalty

 

[FriethBlade]

McGoldrick!!!!

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Anyone got a stream? I'm in Australia on holiday and my cunting Sky Go won't work and because it's on Sky, cunting iFollow won't work...

I Fucking hate Sky.

 

[FriethBlade]

Can't miss those Billy that should have been game over

 

[FriethBlade]

Leon...hopefully that is game over

 

[FriethBlade]

Massive 3 points

 

[Geordie Blade]

Lovely. I enjoyed that!

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Poor performance first half. Excellent 2nd half, and we progressively got stronger as the game wore on. A superb result given that shocker of a decision on McGoldrick could have cost things.

FLCDC Extra C for cheating.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

1-2. As per Carlton Blade prediction on another thread. We play well 1st half and score, they come back into it 2nd half and score 2.

I’ll add, that we drop out of the top 6, that we all come on here, claim to be just short of the desired standard, praise CW,’s style of play, rejoice in punching above our weight, bemoan the the lack of £’s and hope for some incomings in the JTW.

Call me 'Mystic Nic'.

Everything I wanted to see from us against one of the top teams in the division. We didn't fold when things went against us and we got better as the game went on.
