What do you think about match?

 

[Fiery Blade]

Any more pointless polls (apart from Graham) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jehovah]

Feeling pretty positive about this one.

Walsall 2 - 0 blades

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Walsall 0-3 Blades

 

[Esablade]

Walsall 0 - 5 Blades...gotta happen one day, this is it.

 

[cooperblade]

I think we should fly into a few tackles early on and get the Walsall players worrying about getting injured before Wembley.

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

Surely this is Walsall *Reserves* v The Mighty Blades

 

[HillmortonBlade]

I have not been feeling at all optimistic about this game... and yet, as kick off moves closer, it has started to flow back, 1-0 half time,. 3-1 Blades full time. Am looking forward to the evening at the Bescot.

 

[cal the blade]

sneak a 1-1 draw in game we dominate but yet again cant win

 

[sheffielder]

Although Clough will be happy with a draw, I think we can win this if we score first. Confidence is not the players or fans friend at the moment

 

[sheffielder]

Any more pointless polls (apart from Graham) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no room for this negativity.

Marks out of ten:

Turner 3/10: At fault for the first, second, third and fourth goal. Unlucky with the fifth.
Freeman 5/10: Ran ragged by their winger. And their goalkeeper.
Basham 4/10: Missed a chest high header for their sixth goal
McEveley 5/10: Brought the ball out of the box a few times. Largely back toward the centre circle for the kick off
Brayford 6/10: MoM. Linked well with their midfield
Flynn 3/10: Stonewall, nailed on penalty when their defender coughed at him and he went sprawling in the box
Doyle 4/10: Commanded the centre of the park wonderfully. During the warm up.
Coutts 5/10: Sprayed the ball about the park. The crowd got some lovely possession
Freeman 3/10: Not his best game. His best game was fucking dreadful.
Done 10/10: Put a bright yellow tabard on in the second half and a big illuminated sign over his melon and carried an air horn just to let the midfield know where he was
Davies 2/10: Still in Blackpool

Subs:

Higdon 1/10: Came on as a tactical switch for Freeman but didn't really want to play. Thought he was just there to mind the balls in the net bag
Wallace 3/10: Read the team sheet wrong, so the wrong trousers ... I mean the wrong Wallace was playing. Cracking toast, Grummit
Howard 7/10: Came on in the first half for ten minutes whilst Doyle went off for a shit and a shandy.

Clough 4/10: Got it right. Tactically brilliant.

Crowd 7/10: A bit restless after the fifth and shame on you lot for booing at the end. The players were crestfallen and looked really, really, really miserable when they started singing "You're cunts, and we know you are."

Ref 10/10: Great game.

A comfortable 2-0 win for us this one. Walsall will be resting players and even if they don't surely the players won't want to miss out on Wembley with a 50/50 tackle. I think we're wounded at the moment and will take advantage of their upcoming Wembley trip.

Surely this is Walsall *Reserves* v The Mighty Blades

Shh! Don't let Nigel know they'll probably play a weakened team. He might instruct the players to cross the halway line. In the last fifteen minutes.

 

[AndyK]

Walsall will have one eye on Wembley at weekend so we really need to go at them early. Not confident but if we play our best football then no reason we can't come away with the 3 points and hit some form hopefully.

Walsall 1 - 2 Blades.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Our record v Walsall isn't great - out of the last 7 matches against them we have won only one and drawn 3. The last time we won at their place was 2004. We looked awful against them in the JPT. So the Blades will defy all logic and win.

 

[Kenilworth]

Agree with Esa. 5-0 Blades

Stuff em

 

[HillmortonBlade]

So the Blades will defy all logic and win

We currently favourites to win with the bookies, not that is any barometer of fortune given the state of my bank account, but they must have some degree of faith in us...

 

[Revolution]

Draw at best.

 

[Blade56]

Surely this is Walsall *Reserves* v The Mighty Blades

Remember when we played our U18 squad against Rovvrum and won with the crowd chanting "your only playing the kids"?

Never be confident with this squad and management

Freeman was all over the pitch, rated at 5/10 in defence and 3/10 up front

 

[Bookers Mullet]

1 - 1, think we'll play well and Davies to score, but they'll sneak an equaliser in the last ten minutes

 

[DorsetSUFC]

Mighty Blades to win 4 - 2 !!

 

[Blade56]

Every fibre of my being wants a decisive victory and a clean sheet. 0-3 to blades 2 Done and 1 Davies.

Clean slate, autos are out, play offs are no longer certain so it's a mini league of 6/8 clubs playing for top 2 spots and we have a 1 point and 1 game advantage. No excuses, pride passion and hard work required to get us into the lottery of a Wembly final.

The next few weeks are possibley the most important in the clubs history. Let's hope the man at the top and the team he has assembled is up to the job!

We need to start winning, but Clough needs to be given until at least the end of the season. If we don't get promoted, then Nigel/ the board will make a decision. Sacking a manager at this stage of the season has never worked for us before. Until the end of the season, get behind Clough and the lads. Promotion is achievable! UTB

 

[BeatleBlade]

The calls for resignation are ridiculous. Sure, things aren't going to plan and this season hasn't been great with the exception of the Semi Final. However, is any manager really infallible? Sure, I'd like to be top of the league but if we get rid of Clough then who do we get? Not only that but everything is not his fault. He's got a couple of things wrong but he's human like everyone else.
The desperation has really sunk in with United fans right now, he was manager of the month not long ago and now people are calling for his head.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Probably 1-1 written all over it but here's hoping they'll have Wembley on their minds and we sneak a 0-1.

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

Goal Frenzy

With our keeper chucking the ball in his own net, the Time Bandits defending set pieces, and any ordinary goals they might score, we're going to have to finish about 200% of the chances we create.

Not 0-0.

 

[silver blade]

All we have to do is score more goals than them

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Half of us desperately praying that WALSALL have their minds on Wembley and, a tin pot trophy, in the hope that we might just get something out of the game.
