This season has got relegation written all over it..

[INTERUNITED]

As soon as I read Jack O'Connell maybe out for the season I knew we were fucked. A more defensive style of play, absolutely no goals from the midfield or forwards can only mean one thing. Without 2 or 3 new players then I don't see how we can get the points required. Prince it's up to you now, back Wilder or expect relegation and losing him.

 

[N.E.Blade]

I think after 3 games 3 losses, 1 of which was the result of a red card, you cannot say we are going to be relegated. We’ve been used to win games for too long however it is when your back is against the wall where your true character comes out. If wilder gets the signings he wants we will be fine.

 

[Stretch]

Nurse!

 

[The Vicar]

Not sure you can invest heavily in a team that looks like it needs more than tweaking! When money is tight.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

We deserve all we get same old tired formation refuses to change the system no investment in key areas that we needed to strengthen the powers that be are to blame for this shit show and when we get relegated it will be down to them for it.

What did anyone expect really when there's was no investment in key areas we have lost 6 premier league games on the bounce and not scored in our last 3 it is pathetic.

Another thing is now if Abdullah does not want to invest he needs to sell up to someone that will because it is criminal what has happened this summer.

 

[drblade]

I'm certainly worried but then I would be after 45 years of watching United.

 

[Slugger]

We're better than Newcastle, WBA, Fulham, West Ham, Burnley, Villa and the equal of a good few others. Poor start but we'll stay up.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Poor finishing is killing us we should have been 1-0 in front again like against Villa we paid for the missed chance again.

 

[Inter_blade83]

Game one, concede 2 in 6 mins, rest of the game was 50/50

Game two, Egan sent off after 12mins, miss penalty (and their player should have been sent off)

Game three, Ampadu not given a pen for a more obvious foul than the one that got Egan sent off v Villa.

Get a grip.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

I'd like to disagree but it stinks of bad luck, missed chances and misery.

 

[Antonb]

if you want to play in the prem you have to pay out. If you dont , goodbye! Even Burnley have a much bigger wage bill i believe

 

[bromtom]

We've lost 3 games, we need a striker or two but we've played well.

This season hasn't been written yet so suck it up and see who comes in and see what Wilder does to the formation without JOC.

Have a bit of faith.

 

[Stevo]

4 points needed from next 2 games

 

[N.E.Blade]

Not sure you can invest heavily in a team that looks like it needs more than tweaking! When money is tight.

But the team does appear to only need tweaking.

 

[BrisBlade]

I thought we deserved a point tonight. I thought we did enough to merit a point at Villa as well. In a different world Lunny scores the penalty last week, JWs touch today nestles just in the corner and Bamford's header bounces off a post and we're all saying what a solid start it's been. It's fine margins. We're due some luck, I know that much.

 

[BigDon]

Need to rejig the system, its tired and predictable.

Leeds looked energetic did we the board needs to help wilder out NOW

 

[Roygbiv]

We are almost certainly going to be bottom now after 8 games so it's all about the confidence levels being high enough to claw things back. Obviously it's way too early to say we are going down but we are going to have to show some proper bottle.

 

[SUFCinks]

I would agree if we were still trying to hoof it forward for flicks and nick a goal. Today there were vast improvements in terms of performance over recent games. We looked a lot more like our old selves.

i don’t think this season will be easy - im expecting us to finish about 16/15th but we shouldn't lose all hope/perspective yet. Its rationale that you have strong concerns but its irrational to suggest relegation.

 

[Greg.]

24 chances created in 3 games (same ratio as Man Utd - 16 in 2 games)
Lundstram scores his penalty last week and puts away the chance in the first half today, would be a very different story
Frustrating, but lots of positives to be taken away today - we looked defensively decent missing JOC/Egan and Ramsdale had a great game

Fucking shit show!! Newcastle away is a shit show, we actually played some good football today, missing some of our key players. That tired formation got us to mid table in premiere league (sorry I still appreciate that, I have no delusion of champions league football) and that board have given Chris more money than any of us have seen at the lane.
Not scoring and not winning is shit I get that. But what do we expect, we haven’t got the money of other clubs. The idea of some one wanting to buy us mid pandemic is unrealistic.

 

[bromtom]

But the team does appear to only need tweaking.

We get a striker that can pass a ball and shoot and we're golden.

We are almost certainly going to be bottom now after 8 games so it's all about the confidence levels being high enough to claw things back. Obviously it's way too early to say we are going down but we are going to have to show some proper bottle.

Hope they don't look at social media to get geed up, they'll hijack the team bus and drive it into the sea.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Leeds did have possession on their side which does invite fouls but how lopsided is 18-4 in fouls.
Tierney for some reason does not like the Blades.

 

[YES Blade]

It’s not looking good that’s for sure, I’m shitting it we’re gonna do a Derby!

At least Wilder won’t be panicking like us fans.

That game against Arsenal in the cup last season was the worst reffing I've ever seen.

Blatantly wanted Arsenal to hang on, Bill was getting kicked to bits and won nothing.

That’s really what we want now. Pathetic

He'd struggle to work in a crèche without having a panic attack and pissing himself if he was like some of our fans, nevermind a Premier League manager.

 

[BladesOnToast]

We won't be going down. We'll finish upper mid table. I'm staking my reputation on this.

You always have your explanations. But you never explain when your predictions go wrong. Do you think that's fair?

Agree with Ramsdale - kept us in it as much as their keeper did - fine margins as always even last season when often just in our favour. But relying on defenders and midfielders ( where our chances came from) to put ball in net shows what we all know about lack of striking qualities
