Name a better two that we have.

LOL. Fkin horror show from them again

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Soft as shit in defence and softer than shit in attack.

 

[BettingBlade]

Say if Brewster was in place of McGoldrick would Brewster have scored? Our strike force is so bloody strange.

I’d have backed Blunkett to score that over McGoldrick

 

[Drunk blade]

Brewster wouldn't have got to the ball

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Onto Saturday it is then

 

[William Large]

We need pace against a side that press so high…. Yet the fastest man in world, admittedly, also the shittest footballer, is on the bench.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Jack Robinson. What the fuck did anyone at our club see in him? Jesus Christ seriously WHAT THE F(_)CK IS HE EVEN MEANT TO BE GOOD AT?

 

[ancientblade]

mcgoldrick has to be dropped great link up player but cant hit a barn door 45m in strikers not on the pitch and were starting a 34 and a 35 year old up top beggars belief

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

If McGoldrick had taken those shots at Abraham Lincoln old Abe would have lived to the ripe old age of 106.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Don Goodman said a few minutes ago we've played well so far, now is it just me or does anyone else think we've been bad and its all been backwards passing again (again, again, again)?

 

[BangorBlade]

Why arent they putting someone in front of the thrower ?? Instead of giving him free range

 

[Nah den]

I just hate the way we play football. Have done for many months. Boring, negative shite. I tend to start watching every game with optimism, hoping this will be the day we see a 'performance'. It's swiftly knocked out of me. Slow, soft, small in midfield. Strikers can't hold it up or finish relatively easy chances. And basic long throws cause all manner of panic. It's quite sad really.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

This is woeful and people thinking it's not need to watch the game more carefully. It's the third woeful performance, we're right to judge/ criticise it. We create absolutely nothing, we play around with at the back the hoof it.

 

[Drunk blade]

Why is jebbo not in this side...

 

[FredZeppelin]

LOL. Fkin horror show from them again

Like I said. Name a better two. Do you think any of the rubbish on the bench would even have got in that position? I don't.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Jack Robinson. What the fuck did anyone at our club see in him? Jesus Christ seriously WHAT THE F(_)CK IS HE EVEN MEANT TO BE GOOD AT?

A source from the club that I’m close to- can’t reveal who but trust me he’s ITK - apparently he can tie his own bootlaces

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

The strike force is abysmal I genuinely am worried we’ll be fighting relegation

 

[LS5 Blade]

It was a bold move going with our slowest player and worst finisher upfront as a pair!

Might need to change this at half time!

yep it is an awful watch from us again - just like last season.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Sharp / McGoldrick combo is so slow, predictable and can't hold on to the ball

Not seen Berge. Fuck knows how he's worth £30m plus

Norwood / Robinson get rid immediately

Osborn / Baldock literally just workhorses

Dreadful to watch, be so nice to watch some pacy attractive football and score some goals

 

[William Large]

And another game that our ‘world class’ midfielder should be able to dominate, yet can’t get near the ball.

 

[RWE]

Why the fuck do we pass it about the back for a bit then hoof it long when West Brom have some big fuckers as centre backs. Whatever this game plan is it ain’t working, get pace on and trying and turn their defenders.

 

[drblade]

Same team as last season. Why would we expect a different performance from last season.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

When was the last time we put 3 passes together in midfield ???

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Our midfield is truly truly woeful

 

[McGoaldrick]

Didzy has to go cba anymore

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

We’re playing 4 in midfield today & there isn’t a single player available for a pass out of defence. That’s really poor.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Like I said. Name a better two. Do you think any of the rubbish on the bench would even have got in that position? I don't.

Didzy misses at least one sitter every game. He used to contribute other stuff but hasn’t for a long time. Sharp’s legs have gone. Great servants but age has caught up with them and they are L1 level now

Brewster, Jebbison and even McBurnie all offer more than these two.

It’s like watching the utter shite we saw from Wilder for the last 15 months.
