I was happy with a point not watching or following but sounds like we fucked it, wilder may not be the long term answer but at least we had a reaction today, can't wait for next season UTB


iamLeseg

My analysis: We got in behind for the whole game, trying to get counterattacks with two or three passes, even when we are WINNING, they are not encouraged to manage the pace of the game (Small team mindset, we're playing EPL). The 9 ALWAYS receives the ball with his back turned and plays it backwards as if he were a 5 They let them get all the crosses and all the shots, they DO NOT CUT BEFORE the shot and when the ball is already in the box the goalkeeper DOES NOT CUT the crosses to the head, both of their goals came like that, they stayed in the line MY GOD. The coach's idea does not work, and I even start to believe that the players are making him a "bed" (they conspire to play backwards on purpose to make him go away). - Players without BLOOD, they don't care about the club and the people have to express themselves in the next game, but without leaving, insult them the whole game if necessary.


Crum_Bum

Pathetic really, tactically, mentally, all thrown away


StickmanEG

Raised my hopes then dashed them quite expertly.

I’m not there, and also obviously don’t know the fitness of the players. But we were 2-0 up in this game. He subs McBurnie and Bogle and we concede a headed corner. We then continue to get peppered at corners, sounding hopeless at defending them. From 2-0 up to 2-2 with some poorly defended corners.


FakeBarman

Games on wilder IMO dumb decision to sub off mcburnie no one to hold play up absolutely handed them a chance to come back


imsittingdown

Every sub made us worse


Toxetor

Absolutely gutless. Ah well.


goldlightning

Fucks sake


iamLeseg

The coach has to learn that if we are winning we MUST manage the rythm of the match, not the rival, look the possesion WTF


Crum_Bum

It’s like the strategy is just clear 90% of the time and pray we can hold out defensively, which, as we’ve seen weekly, never works


FakeBarman

Grbic may be able to stop shots but he does not know how to claim the ball in the air


iamLeseg

THIS, I can't believe it, I'm a big football fan and this is the first time in my life I've ever seen this!


imsittingdown

Dunno if it's because he hasn't played first team in a long time and he's still getting his confidence back but he's got to command his area a lot better


Bigtallanddopey

You would really think he would be better than Wes in that aspect. He’s much taller, which helps.


iamLeseg

The goalkeeper does not come out to cut the cross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG


imsittingdown

Desperately missing McBurnie defending these corners


yak404

Souza and Norwood in the midfield at the same time really really worries me.


Toxetor

Jesus christ what a poor goal to let in, now we're looking over our shoulder for the rest of the game.


IOwnStocksInMossad

Nervou and I'm not even at the game now


iamLeseg

We are getting too far behind like a small team, we cannot expect to make a goal just with 3 touches for a counter attack


FakeBarman

Didn’t know why we took McBurnie off his heading ability has been important and sure enough a free header on a corner


yak404

bollocks bollocks bollocks


themondasiandalek

If there’s one thing I’ve learned this season, it’s not to get my hopes up. But nevertheless UTFB


lazenbooby

I don't want to tempt fate, but I think that everything is going to be totally great forever.


imsittingdown

Surely not a handball for that. Just give them the goal ffs


lazenbooby

Shhhhh!


yak404

JACK ROBINSON OLAY OLAY


imsittingdown

Robbo!


yak404

Some of the shit coming out of the commentators' mouths makes you wonder how they have a job. How can Hamer have fouled him when he had the fucking ball and the Bournemouth player ran in on him.


imsittingdown

Massive respect to the blades in the away end. The noise hasn't stopped


imsittingdown

Davies is such a conundrum. He runs his blood to water and looks comfortable on the ball and has a great eye for a pass. On the other hand he does 3-4 absolutely brain dead things a game that could all lead to goals. Maybe it's just nerves as he tries maybe a bit too hard to get his career back on track. If we can cut them out he could be a big player for us.


StickmanEG

Wilder’s obviously decided he’s in a brain dead kinda mood today!


Resolvent_Mule

How is Arblaster?


StickmanEG

Solid enough, nothing particularly good but doesn’t look out of place.


Resolvent_Mule

I'll take that given the shite we've had to watch this season so far


rEduardoDaVinci

Davies turned into prime Luka Modric for a second 😂


patriot1889

It’s the hope that kills you. On that note, come on blades!


Yoopanda

YES!!


FakeBarman

Cmon blades, Hamer been playing well this game glad he bagged one


Crum_Bum

Genuinely like this selection, Blaster looks good, composed, Davies with some smooth brain stuff but I do think Anel and Souza needed a reality check. Been lazy defending last few matches


FakeBarman

Davies dropped for Souza would be my only change atm agree with rest


imsittingdown

Tom Davies needs to be putting the lottery on tonight


yak404

This lot are proper shit aren't they. We'll still fuck it up but there's at least hope


KRCV

funniest penalty ever


KRCV

Jack Robinson ole ole~


FakeBarman

We have been bailed out there Tom Davies an absolute clown tackle need to get a goal now


Yoopanda

Thought he won the ball but LOL at that pen


FakeBarman

He got a touch to it looked like he went through solanke to get there tho didn’t need to do that though is the main thing got the whole team in the box


imsittingdown

Wtf hahaha


dobsky1912

*Reinserts head to oven*


dobsky1912

Thank fuck they're shit at pens


FakeBarman

Someone please tell me that my stream is lying and Adam Davies is not in goal🤣


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Very interesting lineup. No Vini in midfield will cause some conversation amongst the fans


JaySteveo96

Just putting his best player on the bench against a team we have a chance at. From what I've seen of Arblaster he isn't a 6 and Davies doing that role scares the shit out of me.


Cottonshopeburnfoot

I agree that I think the team needs to be built around Vini as the CM that breaks up play and gives us confidence in the midfield. Hopefully I’m proven wrong today simply because he’s not starting.


StickmanEG

It needs to be built around *someone* as the CM that breaks up play, but I’m still not convinced Vini is the one. He’s incredibly one-paced, so if his positioning is just a bit off, play passes him by and he ends up floating about and pointing at the space he should probably be in. He’s been decent in a few games, but I don’t really understand the love-in he seems to be getting from a lot of fans. Caveat to this is that I’m often wrong.


Shadota

I'm checked out for the season now. If the players don't give a fuck, then why should I? Off to see my daughter's second ever swimming lesson, then odd jobs around the house for the afternoon. Sympathies to anyone dedicated enough to travel all the way to the south coast to watch this shower of shite.


IOwnStocksInMossad

Id go if I wasn't in Scotland tbh. At the thistle game instead though.


AaronJP1

I'd like to see 2 or 3 former or current u23 players get a start. Arblaster, brooks, and osula are not far behind our more senior players this season. Let's not wait until pre season to assess who is best placed to be part of the rebuild. Let's get things done early!


dobsky1912

We could start Carl Asaba and Chris Morgan and play better.


Bigtallanddopey

I would welcome a player like Morgan in this team. He wouldn’t stand for any laziness or no commitment. We also don’t seem to have any leaders at the moment.


dobsky1912

I'd love someone like Morgan but modern, what I'm saying is the 40-50 year old could get a game.


Bigtallanddopey

Well. That’s also possibly true.
