General Matchday Thread

[Another Walkley Owl]

God, our record at Reading is shite.

Won there two years ago and that's the only 3pts I can remember at the Madjeski off the top of my head. What sort of bell end names a stadium after himself anyway?

I blame Ann Field I think she started it.

 

[JJH]

Aye, that's worked wonders for them this year.

They've spent, just had shit managers since Stam. Obviously the jury is still out on Gomes or whatever he's called.

 

[SF_]

Barkhuizen & Hughes definitely out for the season, Browne, Potts & Clarke still not back, Barker definitely done his hamstring and Pearson has a tight hamstring which forced him off on Saturday.

Probably won't see any of them on Saturday based on how this season has gone, won't be beating Sheff Utd without that lot. Hopefully Pearson can play through the pain but assuming he's out.

Rudd
Fisher, Storey, Davies, Earl
Ledson, Gallagher
Maguire, Johnson, Robinson
Stockley

Crowe, Rafferty, Huntington, Baxter, Ginnelly, Nmecha, Moult

[JJH]

That was vile hahaha

 

[MagpieBee]

Well, we are awful again against Swansea. Every time Dan James is anywhere near the ball our entire team just panics!

1 point from the last 4 games has pretty much ended our season. Before then we were 6 points off the play offs with a game in hand, and our run in after this is pretty good - it was only a small chance of sneaking in, but it's definitely gone now.

 

[Ciderup]

That was vile hahaha

Got to love a good a good old fashioned 'shithouse' away win and we're getting quite good at it!

 

[Muzzle]

Smoggies tonight, so that is their bad run coming to an end

 

[SF_]

Nothing game tonight really, even if we grab a win I don't think enough results will go for us.

DJ or Gally back in if fit, Stockley up top, Maguire or Nmecha dropping to the bench. Robinson & Browne don't look fully fit but fuck it, play your goal threats.

Zero word on Brad Potts, surprise return maybe?

Getting a bit tired of defending Pearson, he was stupid to challenge Bamford in that position, he's quicker than him, avoid contact for another 6 or 7 yards and take the ball.

You can't go down to 10 men after 50 minutes against Leeds, they're too good, especially with the likes of Bamford, Klich & Hernandez there to punish you.

11 v 11 we have a chance to nick something even if we were being outplayed but that red card just gave them confidence.

That said, that referee was an utter c***, booking Pearson for a coming together and then letting Ayling off for an uncontrolled lunge minutes later just makes you want to give up with this sport. How Nmecha didn't win a corner when their keeper actually saves the ball is insane as well.

Hes a liability, my Preston mate says he will have been suspended about 12 games by the end of the season, 1 more yellow I think and he gets another 3 game ban. Cost you any chance of the points last night

Yep, still our best player by a mile though.

Similar to morelos at rangers, easily best player but a complete liability, got to stop hasn't it.

Yep but just don't see it, even Alex Neil has seemed to accept it.

A shame his under-study Ledson hasn't stepped up to the plate yet.

You're not far off top 6, if he doesnt miss a quarter of the season through suspension who knows where youd be, surely someone needs to get it into his obviously very small brain.

Assume they've tried, he's just too thick and angry.

He's definitely a bigger miss than anyone else in the team though.

Huge game against QPR tonight, with Rotherham playing Villa and Reading at Norwich. Results go our way and we're four clear, with a game in hand and the rest having only five matches left to play.

 

[villa loyal]

Rotherham played very well first half. We upped our game second half, and the sending off didn’t seem to effect us at all. Very good win for us.

John McGinn was 2 players tonight. Covered so much ground .

 

[Blitzballer]

And as much as I love Tammy, that was a piss poor penalty

 

[Atavistic]

Have to give credit where it's due tonight, Reading came with a clear game plan, stuck to it well and got the point that they probably deserved. It may not look like that statistically, but on the balance of play that's how I'd judge it tonight.

We were complacent and well off the pace tonight, and really missed the creativity of Buendia. Hoping for a big reaction on Sunday, but Wigan have a solid home record so it's not going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Saw one of our esteemed players in the local supermarket, and just politely asked if they had heard any news on getting paid, the arrogant git snapped back "if I don't get paid, I can walk out of the club by the 15th", my annoyance at that was to respond, you've shown fuck all all season, no other club would waste a wage on you.
Whilst I appreciate he hasn't been paid etc, when he finally goes he will go on to another club, but BWFC will always be my club, even if we get liquidated, and players don't realise how blessed they are, earning money for something most of us could only dream about doing

I bet he was thinking oh ffs piss off and let me do my shopping, none of your business.

Eh? It's a simple question init, like asking where the toilet is or something daft like that. Hardly holding his day up.

I was going to go down the old route of privileged footballers should show a bit of respect to fans who pay (or normally pay!) a small portion of their wages but it's not even that is it.
The bottom line is just don't be a bellend to people, it's not hard to be polite regardless of your background.
Apart from middle lane drivers, they can fuck off.

 

[blademan89]

All I can say this weekend is come on you blades and come on Wednesday.
