Roy's View From... View From Cardiff

[Blademan89]

The fact they think they matched us and we was nothing special yet we had 3-4 players ill (with one throwing up on pitch) and still won 2-0 in 2nd gear says everything.

Imagine if we had fully fit team.

When you get past the ‘passionate fans’ that thought they Cardiff put up an equal performance there’s one footballing stalwart that said it how it was with 2 banks of defenders he probably isn’t a wearer of rose tinted glasses.

As always well done Roy hope you have a very merry Xmas hope you’ll be coming out of the shadows for a mince pie and a pint.

Cheers Roy

Nice stuff weird one. I've decided that 'bang average' has now become like 'sick' and 'wicked'. It's a compliment and I'm sticking to that. Well bad, innit.

Blades fans were class today! Everyone of us that's done the miles this 2024 I salute us all UTB and thanks Roy

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Cheers Roy sterling work as usual

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

In awe of star Kiefer.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Wilder said in post match a few players had been sick so assume some virus gone around. Fair play to Davies for putting in a performance after throwing up. Camera focused on him then quickly panned away once he started vomming

Hopefully nobody shat themselves.

“£4m buys you a decent striker
The reason why we are bottom of the table and Sheff Utd are top is down to one thing…..
VT not willing to spend money on a striker.”

A good theory but with one minor drawback. Kieffer Moore cost us £1.2mil not £4mil. Our other top scorer cost us jack all!

Facts. Don't you just love 'em!

Merry Christmas Roygbiv

One of my favourite Blades that I’ve never met

 

[NoseyBlade]

Thanks Roy, top tune too, one of my favourite treasures that album.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Tom Davies, was sick just before start of 2nd half.

So that was the "Pep Virus" they were talking about!

 

[diode_blade]

Cheers Roy, merry Xmas, have a good un

 

[McGrath]

Tom Davies, was sick just before start of 2nd half.

That sounds like what happened in most games I played on a Sunday morning.

I take it that wasn't induced by too many Jaegerbombs the night before!

 

[metalblade]

Cheers Roygbiv and Merry Xmas, I see we are still beating teams despite not "being all that special".
Fair does to them parachute payment weren't mentioned.

 

[Bladesman]

Cheers Roygbiv

Merry Christmas

No bitter comments, but it does surprise me saying that we weren't all that. They never laid a glove on us and I thought that we were in total control even though we didn't have a shot on target first half.

A good solid away performance against a very poor team lacking in belief and ability.

Well done. Top of the Xmas tree we go

This sums it up. They never looked anywhere near scoring at home and hardly had the ball.

The only question of note throughout the entire game was whether we would score. Which we did twice.

 

[Bladesince59]

Yep, they know theyre rubbish

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We seem to be giving poor teams, too many reasons to be optimistic.

 

[Blade56]

We seem to be giving poor teams, too many reasons to be optimistic.

Plymouth have reason to be optimistic, outplayed us and lost narrowly and lead 3 times versus Borough yesterday. Rooney might just survive the drop

I’ve no issue with the way sides pay against us, especially when we’re at home. It’s expected that they will mostly sit in to defend. When lower table sides do it at home, again no complaints or surprise. They sit deep and double up on the likes of Hamer or Jez.

They’re doing their best to make it hard for us and preventing us beating them 3 or 4 nil and they often do it valiantly.

But as fans they have to realise that their teams best efforts are still not enough to put the ball away in net nor keep it out of theirs. Whether that’s a single goal or a rout, which is also not the style we currently adopt, they’re not even putting a glove on us at times.

Plymouth, played above normal levels against us, still couldn’t make it hard for us.

Cardiff, gave the ball away a lot, the best they can hope for is to be mid table like Wednesday playing like that.

What fans don’t appreciate about us is that we’re not a side that goes all out attack like Leeds, we aim to preserve first and score second, that’s why we’re sitting top above Leeds or Burnley, currently. It’s been effective and has worked
