[Millhousesblade1889]

Good start

 

[FredZeppelin]

Not sure if serious? 2-3 years ago maybe.

Name a better two that we have.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Name a better two that we have.

If in form Mcburnie would be starting tonight. Sharp / Mcburnie won't win a header

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I don't know if it's because I'm nervous for him but Verrips looks terrified

 

[FriethBlade]

Great support so far

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Good to hear Carl Asaba on radio Sheffield tonight.

 

[FriethBlade]

Are we genetically programmed to pass backwards? Gamble ffs

 

[Drunk blade]

Will we have a shot on target in the first half

 

[Frank the tank]

Are we genetically programmed to pass backwards? Gamble ffs

So sick of seeing it

 

[originaltrueblade]

How much time is the ref going to allow for them to wipe the ball for a throw in

 

[FriethBlade]

Hold it up McGoldrick

 

[Drunk blade]

Verrips kicking looks better than ramsdales so far, we're just hopeless going up for headers

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Zero confidence is there, every single player looks scared when they get the ball, even goldie looks off it as well!

 

[FredZeppelin]

McBurnie
Dream on, pal. Pound for pound our worst ever signing. Would love to be proved wrong but he's a complete waste of time. Do you even know where his best position is. No one else seems to. 'The Emperor's new clothes' of football.

Absolutely crying out for a quick ball forwards. Not going to happen though because we haven’t got the pace to chase it.

I can't be bothered with a debate, I'm stressed enough with these long throws and balls coming. Let's agree to disagree, my point was based on form and the size of their back 4

 

[FriethBlade]

They look dangerous, got a few pacey, tricky players...just what we need

And yet, Rhian...

 

[BirleyBlade!]

we haven’t got the pace to chase it.

We haven’t got the fucking mental capacity to even attempt to play a forward pass.

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Our away support is the only Blades positive so far.

 

[FriethBlade]

Got to get a shot off there

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Getting outmuscled up front in the air. We’ll win the odd free kick but that’s about all.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Flecks got about as much presence as Lord Lucan.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Three years ago, EVERY player was full blooded when going in for a challenge. I’ve seen Robinson, Bash, Osborn and Baldock get stuck in today, but I’ve seen Berge, Norwood and Fleck nesh tackles.

 

[Frank the tank]

The next player that turns down the chance to pass it forward and turns round to pass it to a defender should be subbed and escorted from the stadium

 

[Drunk blade]

Soft as shite

 

[jaybee]

What the fuck was that

 

[FriethBlade]

Pathetic united...been saying for months we need a big fu(k of centre half that can win a header

 

[Caseh]

First time he's won a header this season

 

[Geordie Blade]

Did anyone even think McGoldrick might score that? I saw it was him and went straight back to my phone.
