[Geordie Blade]

Lundstram’s given up now.

 

[Jan Age]

Can’t even get a substitution right

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Didn’t you just know Lingard would have a blinder ! Why did we even pretend or express an interest ?

 

[Iceybabey]

Lunny "go Ed Lingz, run past down the channel"

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Norwood giving it away for 1st then a soft goal from a corner. It’s like a greatest hits of reasons we’re going down

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Everyone who said Lingard wouldn't improve us is a fucking clown.

 

[SLB]

Lundstram’s given up now.

So have I.

 

[Dan Emery]

Here’s the issue either the players aren’t playing for Wilder - this means we have a management and personnel issue OR the players are playing as told in which case we have a management issue

I've said similar in the past.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

West Ham here for the taking. We’ve provided fuck all. Too easy for them to defend.

 

[blades78]

Another cheap goal and yet another set piece goal that would have prevented with a man on the back post. Happening time and time again.

 

[Gavlar]

Most of you are wrong 2-0 t’blades.

Thank you for the accurate prediction.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Norwood giving it away for 1st then a soft goal from a corner. It’s like a greatest hits of reasons we’re going down

I need Ramsdale to drop a cross for my “Bingo!”

 

[CornwallBlade]

Im not a Lunny basher, far from it, but is it just me or has he been totally out of this game? Done close to zero aside from slowing the game right down.

He’s been the same for months! Not interested and unbelievable that he’s even playing for us. Part of the issue with CW for me. What is this saying to the rest of the dressing room?

 

[FriethBlade]

Pathetic, How many goals have we conceded from set pieces?

 

[FredZeppelin]

McBurnie. Well, at least we can defend set pieces better, eh?
UTB

 

[BettingBlade]

Everyone who said Lingard wouldn't improve us is a fucking clown.

Don’t think many people said that. It was always a completely unrealistic signing that was never possible either financially or in terms of him actually wanting to come.

I’m pretty sure he would have laughed down the phone at his agent at the mere suggestion of our interest.

 

[TJ blade]

i think as the gap has got bigger each week chris has become more relaxed he knows deep down that we cant get out of this now our main aim has to be to finish 3rd bottom and beat chelsea to get to wembley and i would have a real go at stamford bridge lets go for it if we lose heavily so what were expected to lose easily anyway

I admire your optimism regarding finishing 3rd please don't see this as a criticism because I would be happy to take that as things stand, as for Wembley I think Chelsea would need to have an off day,

Here’s the issue either the players aren’t playing for Wilder - this means we have a management and personnel issue OR the players are playing as told in which case we have a management issue

Out of there depth from the owner downwards!!

How was it financially unrealistic? 100k a week for half a year is 2.6 million.

 

[BlairBlade]

Actually, Henderson wasn’t that bad of a loan signing and Ampadu

Altho’ most think Ampadu has only just started to come good in the last couple of months.
Hendo - without a doubt.

I always questions how wilder would cope when the going got bad... I think we’ve had the answer

 

[essexblade73]

This fat fck of a ref is useless as well, cant keep up with play

 

[LS5 Blade]

All of them to a man do not have a clue what to do when they get 25 yards out. They turn to jelly!

 

[originaltrueblade]

Pissing about with it sideways and backwards get the fucker in the box

 

[bakeblade]

A set-piece. Pathetic all round.

A set-piece. Pathetic all round.

McBurnie ready to come on, why not bring him on for the corner

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Lundstram is the only midfielder I’ve ever seen where the opposition nullify him, by showing him forward.

 

[BlairBlade]

I don't think either would have gone for them of we'd done business early. So you think nobody is better do you?

From what had been said neither of them were interested in coming to us.
So it is pretty much immaterial.

 

[Drunk blade]

Get brewster on

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Is McBurnie playing midfield ???

 

[FriethBlade]

Has McBurnie been brought on to play in midfield? I can't figure out what's going on

 

[essexblade73]

Lundstram is the only midfielder I’ve ever seen where the opposition nullify him, by showing him forward.

He's clueless. Gets the ball and passes to a defender as if to say 'go on lad, create something'
