Well what another enjoyable afternoon watching Sheffield Disunited.Simmonson doesn't command his back 4 and lacks the confidence to do the duties required of a goaly other than to shot stop. Taylor can go back to wherever he came from. He doesn't deserve to be paid by our club, which works out well. The wages saved will pay for the money i want back for the garbage that we continue to be served up. Nosworthy is a liability. Not one of our players trust what he will do, he runs around with his eyes closed for most of the game, gets caught in possession too often and is ALWAYS in the wrong defensive position. Brittain is the new Paul Thirlwell. He only passes sideways and as for this new creative force, I'm not convinced.I'm not even sure that's how to spell his name but i don't really care. The new crab in disguise for me. Ward, flatters to decieve. Looked like a 3rd div player as mentioned for most of it and probably only plays 50% of our games because the staff know he will break down with another injury if he plays more than 1 game a week. Yeates cannot pass to save his life. To be fair to him he never hides and will always attempt to take a player on. Unfortunately for him, he's not quick or strong enough to beat his man so we have to be contented with a ratio of 1 good game in 5 and a corner beating the 1st man once in every 10 attempts. Ertl 'terminator' as he is affectionately known in our parts does alot of running around and breaks up the odd attack. For me though its no where near as affective as what Monty does and offers about as much going forward so his position is up for grabs. Quinn should be moved on, i could be here all night so i will just not bother. Cresswell works harder than most players i have seen. Unfortunately for him, i believe he only does it in order to hide his other failings on the pitch. What the management believe he offers on the wing is certainly beyond me aswell. Shed Evans has no intelligence at all. He doesn't know where to stand on the pitch, spends most of his time running around with his eyes glued to the floor and has a goal return that makes Heskey's look impressive.my other greivances after watching yet another miserly, uninteresting bunch of over paid professionals lies with the management. Why have we failed to see the 4-4-2 after Speed has reiterated time and time again that our squad can adapt to a number of formations? So far we have failed to switch from the tried and tested failing 4-5-1. Reid is brought in and gets 20 mins to try and change the game. If he's so fit (see official website yesterday) then surely he plays from the start?We are making it so difficult for ourselves. We are a sitting duck waiting to be picked off. What happened to the high intensity starts, teams fearing to come to BL and the never say die attitude of our players? Dress it up as much as you like, how many of the squad do you actually like and how confident are you that these players actually want to do the business for us? It's easy to say for the boss that he 'can't fault the desire of the lads' etc boring etc but i certainly do after being fed that crap. It's week after week and it's wearing a bit thin.

i would'nt get all big headed over the shambles at the s6 comedy club either because we are in a bigger mess then them it just hasn't come to the surface yet something macabes very good at....wait for the massive bombshell coming.....very very dark days ahead we will just drop off through the divisions if we go down....at least wendy have stayed comperative!!

Great posting TBW, sums up all (or most anyway) of our frustrations at the moment. We all knew what was coming and that this season was going to be a tough transition, the realists tried to warn the dreamers that mid table was going to be a really good result. Now its beginning to dawn on a few that the situation is real. Son of Glouc summed it up nicely on our way back to the car, he said Speed is not yet up to the task and we are all going to have to suffer while he learns his job at our club. I am prepaired to be patient because I still believe that he will get us playing, but what really concerns me is that I dont see any progress, in fact the team were much more competitive under Blackwell. Aidy Boothroyd even said he was no longer afraid to come to Bramall Lane! He would never dared come out with that if Warnock was here. After watching the confident pass and move game at Derby in September and one half against Scunny, Speed seems to have ditched the attempt to play real football for a non descript approach of various systems that appear to baffle the players. Confidence is low, but if the fans could see some developing style or pattern at least we would be able to encourage and understand what the manager was trying to do.

lets hope he doesnt turn out as good as naughton and walker otherwise he will be sold in january hands down...fact!!

thanks macabe thanks a lot!!you call yourselve a blade i don't know how you have the cheek...you have sold us off down the river and continue to do so...a true blade would have more about himself than that and yes i question your a real blades fan!! a property man yes not a blades man!! take a long strole away from s2 as you are digging a mass hole and we are quickly falling into it and we all know we will stay in there for years to come if we do!! we dont have a coop bank to bail us out at every given oppertunity, we dont have local business interest like the wendys and we deffinately dont have the fans to back the club when its crippled like wendy...wendy fans have kept that sinking ship a float for years now and continue to do so....if we were in league one we would be struggling to get 12,000 let alone 20,000 like wendy. the away support this season is bloody awfull we are travelling in the smallest numbers in the last 12 years without a doubt!!

how many cock ups can a chairman make glouc? for gods sack man

I think bfl isnt understanding the situation with mccabe sheps although you and glouc have tried to tell him often enough

bfl would make no sense in mccabe letting the club go into administration - hed lose all the money hes put - we aint going into admin but as the others say he just isnt bank rolling the club anymore...get real man

bank rolling the club anymore??...ha ha now that's a cracker. I'd love someone to tell me when he started doing that?? was that in the premiership when we got relegated the following season? or was that when we went to wenbly and were desperate for a quality addition but once again failed, or was that when he decided to sell beattie,naughton, walker, killa and kenny??? he's got a hell of a lot more out of the club than he's put in in the last 5 years without a shaddow of a doubt. bank rolling the club i've heard it all now!!

bilbo your a typical blade in the 65% majority!!
