@PotterDave_ “Touch like a babbie elephant” is my favourite. “Couldn’t trap a bag of wet cement” a good’un. Can’t shoot. At all. Next game he’s outstanding and MoM. Good luck. 🤷♂️
I do get this argument but if you strip the 1/3 out of any team that makes it good and competitive (or even functioning) and replace with absolute dog shit I’d suggest most teams would struggle.
Literally got rid of every player who physically won stuff or had the attitude to not be beaten regardless of physical deficiencies.
Just look at the players that have walked out of the door and those that have walked into the building (Moore, Anel, Souza, even Jackie Long Throw and that’s not including the loans of Soutter, Gilchrist, Holding and BBD) it’s mad who we replaced them with.
We’ve not got the ingredients to be a consistently competitive championship club ;it’s why I doubled down on Cov to win the league when they were having a wobble they have Pace, Power, Knowhow, technical ability that allows them to mix it in any type of game).
Where as us? What is our squad make up that’s our USP? What are we better at than most teams? Are we quick? No are we strong and physical? No, are we technically better? No, do we have a unique playing style? No.
Since COH (not Callum) have come in and been in control of transfers NOT one permanent signing has been good enough. Some record that… and yet old Chris still gets grief for his transfer record. 🤷🏻♂️
Not having a go btw… but you can see from a mile off this squad hasn’t got what it takes to be competitive.
@The_Bladesman Neshed tackles and stopped tracking back when he lost the ball. Definition of a footballer ‘downing tools’. If you deny this you simply weren’t watching. Why CW didn’t see it and continued picking him was ridiculous when everyone else could and called it out.🤷♂️
@andymorton81@BladesArchives That was my memory as well. It was like every fan in the stadium was competing for every challenge. Incredible noise and atmosphere.
I love watching Andre Brooks. Brightest spark in an otherwise poor season. Need to get him signed up to a new contract ASAP. Is becoming a fantastic player. #TwitterBlades
Some of us are unlucky enough to have been at the last Quarter final game getting beaten by Sheff Utd at Bramall lane after being beaten in the league cup in the same season by Sheff Utd at Bramall lane.
@AllThingsBlades@conarprice666 His first half performance was totally unacceptable and he should have been replaced much earlier. Thought he did improve 2nd half but one of the worst full back performances in years for me.
@samr36@Bladesam1983 I said the same. Some individual performances were so bad that they needed hooking FAR earlier to tell the others that the levels were unacceptable. One or two wouldn’t have made half time for me! but so as not to humiliate them, 3 at HT would have sent a message.

AWKWARD BRITISH PROBLEMS:
🇬🇧Staring at your phone in silent horror until the unknown number stops ringing
🇬🇧Hearing a recording of your own voice and deciding it’s perhaps best never to speak again
🇬🇧The relief when someone doesn’t answer their phone within three rings and you can hang up
🇬🇧Filming an entire fireworks display on your phone, knowing full well you’ll never, ever watch it again
🇬🇧 Mishearing somebody’s name on the second time of asking, meaning you must now avoid them forever
🇬🇧 Leaving it too late to correct someone, meaning you must live with your new name forever
🇬🇧 Running out of ways to say thanks when a succession of doors are held for you, having already deployed ‘cheers’, ‘ta’ and ‘nice one’
🇬🇧 Changing from ‘kind regards’ to just ‘regards’, to indicate that you’re rapidly reaching the end of your tether
🇬🇧 Realising you’ve got about fifty grand’s worth of plastic bags under your kitchen sink
🇬🇧"You’ll have to excuse the mess” – Translation: I’ve spent seven hours tidying in preparation for your visit
🇬🇧 Indicating that you want the last roast potato by trying to force everyone else to take it
🇬🇧 "I’m off to bed” – Translation: “I’m off to stare at my phone in another part of the house”
🇬🇧 The overwhelming sorrow of finding a cup of tea you forgot about
🇬🇧 Turning down a cup of tea for no reason and instantly knowing you’ve made a terrible, terrible mistake
🇬🇧 Suddenly remembering your tea and necking it like a massive, lukewarm shot
🇬🇧 Waiting for permission to leave after paying for something with the exact change
🇬🇧 Saying hello to a friend in the supermarket, then creeping around like a burglar to avoid seeing them again
🇬🇧 Watching with quiet sorrow as you receive a different haircut to the one you requested
🇬🇧 Being unable to pay for something with the exact change without saying “I think that’s right”
🇬🇧 Overtaking someone on foot and having to keep up the uncomfortably fast pace until safely over the horizon
🇬🇧 Being unable to turn and walk in the opposite direction without first taking out your phone and frowning at it
🇬🇧 Deeming it necessary to do a little jog over zebra crossings, while throwing in an apologetic mini wave
🇬🇧 Punishing people who don’t say thank you by saying “you’re welcome” as quietly as possible
🇬🇧 Loudly tapping your fingers at the cashpoint, to assure the queue that you’ve asked for money and the wait is out of your hands
🇬🇧 Looking away so violently as someone nearby enters their PIN that you accidentally dislocate your neck
🇬🇧 Being sure to start touching your bag 15 minutes before your station, so the person in the aisle seat is fully prepared for your exit
🇬🇧 Repeatedly pressing the door button on the train before it’s illuminated, to assure your fellow commuters you have the situation in hand
🇬🇧 Having someone sit next to you on the train, meaning you’ll have to eat your crisps at home
🇬🇧 The huge sense of relief after your perfectly valid train ticket is accepted by the inspector
🇬🇧 The horror of someone you only half know saying: “Oh I’m getting that train too”
🇬🇧 “Sorry, is anyone sitting here?” – Translation: Unless this is a person who looks remarkably like a bag, I suggest you move it
🇬🇧 Worrying you’ve accidentally packed 3 kilos of cocaine and a dead goat as you stroll through “Nothing to declare”
🇬🇧 Being unable to stand and leave without first saying “right”
🇬🇧 Not hearing someone for the third time, so just laughing and hoping for the best
🇬🇧 Saying “anywhere here’s fine” when the taxi’s directly outside your front door.
