Best team

 

[Large Mendonca]

I fear for our RHS with Bogle and Bash

 

[Harry's Game]

Wes
Bogle

McBurnie

That midfield gets run over

 

[Blademan18891889]

That midfield gets run over

Still the best we've got. By some distance too.

 

[idleurchin]

What pubs are blades using near the ground? Just on the tube. Never been to London Stadium before.

 

[Dutch Blade]

Apparently it's:

Wes
Bogle
Bash
Anel
Robbo
Thomas
Souza
Hamer
McAtee
McBurnie
Archer

If we can stay out of the physical duels this midfield should dominate the midfield of WHU.

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Start him

...flipping burgers & dishing out the pies?

 

[Bladeloyal]

It's a sign

 

[Not so Slim ane]

We couldn't afford a £10-12m centre half but I completely agree, he'd be quality there. I loved at half time last Sunday, him bollocking/geeing up Wes and Egan- only bit of that I really saw from anyone, looks a natural leader.

Don't think he would, his positional sense is terrible, you could have drove a double decker bus through the area he was supposed to be occupying last week

He puts in recovery tackles which catch the eye but thats only because hes miles out of place to start with, IMO he's a really shit addition

 

[Thrice]

Defending set pieces will be key against this team. It's their big strength, even before they got Ward-Prowse, but with him they're really dangerous.

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hi Stegosaurus here

Trusty must be dog shit if Bash is ahead in the pecking order.

If I was him, I'd be livid. Playing second fiddle to a player who is barely championship level. What a waste of a signing.

 

[FriethBlade]

In Tap East in the Westfield Centre. Easy to get served and big choice of beers

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

It's another Premiershit Ref so is anybody running a book on who's getting the red card this time.....?

Asking for a friend .....

 

[Stretch]

Good news re Brewster. We desperately need another attacking option from the bench.
Hopefully he can be broken back in gently. 10mins or so for now...try to nick us a goal.

Get some shin guards on McAtee , McBurnie and Davies . Get them to also pull their socks up and look like fkin footballers instead of hippy beach bollocks

 

[Toronto Blade]

Think it will be a fairly comfortable afternoon for West ham, we won't get 'done' again though. Maybe 3-0

The pigs were destroyed yesterday at 0-3 . I would say they got done.

 

[Bell4]

Still the best we've got. By some distance too.

Which says it all

We’re fkd

 

[jono_t2000]

 

[jono_t2000]

Brewster on bench

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Good to see Brewster on bench. Been short of backup strikers.

 

[loyalblade95]

Brewster back on the bench.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Lose 8-0. Make one change.

Let's see if that's the right decision

 

[YES Blade]

Surely after shipping 8, you’d expect Trusty to get a start?

 

[Blade56]

Lose 8-0. Make one change.

Let's see if that's the right decision

Only got enough fit players to make one change

 

[shrubbery]

I guess Hecky is giving the 10 that started last week the chance to redeem themselves. They have to stand up and fight today even if we end up 2 or 3 down.

 

[sufcboy95]

Souza has a big job today. He doesn’t want to move from in front of the back 3

 

[bakeblade]

Surely after shipping 8, you’d expect Trusty to get a start?

You don't ship 8 and then make only 1 change. If I was Trusty I'd be asking for a transfer

 

[Bell4]

You don't ship 8 and then make only 1 change. If I was Trusty I'd be asking for a transfer

His time will come

 

[Sheffsteel]

Agree.
Really rate Bogle going forward, can be inconsistent but when he’s in the mood far better than Baldock going forward however Bogle can be weak when defending.

Basham isn’t up to standard anymore in the PL, so you just have to accept the weakness.

Surprised Trusty is never plays,wonder what he needs ro do do to be given a chance?
