MATCH THREAD: Blunt Metal vs Clarets

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Seriously, which game are you watching?

Lots of late stuff. Little niggles off the ball, lots of pulls and shoves before receiving and after it has been passed on. They are a team full of shithouses managed by a dickhead.

A big part of the goal was their defender pulling at Flemming off the ball.

poor game of football so far. Don't get too carried away with the score, we were 2-1 up last time we were here in the Championship and look what happened.

Last time here in the championship it was was 2 completely different starting 11s

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Referee been superb
2 clear bookings - one each side
Some referees would have given Josh Cullen a second yellow and we would have had 10 for rest of game

[Commy]

When we lost 5-2 they came out second half and pumped the ball into the area with the brute blocking Muric. Wouldn't put it past them to try it again.

Can't we at least acknowledge we defended nigh on perfectly and scored a brilliant counter goal? So far, against top of the table away, it's a great away performance.

[hoosier-daddy]

Pretty much the perfect half. Hopefully more of same in second.

Koleosho and Foster still to come, you'd think.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Look what happened the last 2 times we played them.... 5-0 and 4-1 wins. Just to balance up your obscene negativity.

Not being negative at all, just stating a fact about the last time we played at Bramhall Lane in the Championship.

[jojomk1]

A close game but well done from us to restrict their attacking guys with no shots conceded
Slightly disappointed with contributions from Hannibal and Laurent so far
They clearly can't beat us with the ball on the floor so expect more hoofball from them in second half
Just need Cullen to keep a calm head in second half as well given his yellow

[willsclarets]

Koleosho and Foster still to come, you'd think.

If we can frustrate them first 15 koloesho should get some space when they chase it

[Clive 1960]

Great first half tactically but i would take Cullen of because he's next foul he's off ...

[hoosier-daddy]

Yeah, I'm sure Parker will keep it as it is for now. See what they do first.

[FCBurnley]

Trafford shaky on crosses but overall a perfect half for us

[Newcastleclaret93]

For all the stick Parker has had this season so far he has set us up all most perfectly against the two other best sides in the league.

If we win this Parker will have achieved the only two wins at both Leeds and Sheff United this season

[Commy]

A close game but well done from us to restrict their attacking guys with no shots conceded

Surprisingly, for their position, Sheff Utd are about 16th in the league for shots. They really don't have many but seem to score the ones they do have.

Totally different game, 2 totally different teams.

[Dressinggown]

This was always going to be a tough fixture.

Whilst not particularly a treat for the eyes it's been job done in the first half.

It will be interesting how we play on the counter attack in the second half as Sheffield will try to throw the kitchen sink at us.

UTC.

Fair comment

[jos]

as Sheffield will try to throw the kitchen sink at us.

UTC.

A stainless steel one?

[groove]

CJ's long balls have been immense.

[IanMcL]

Us in a tangle. Corner them

[IanMcL]

Hannibal leaves his mark

[IanMcL]

Fk them

[IanMcL]

Easy take Trafford

[hoosier-daddy]

CJ's long balls have been immense.

We just keep mis-controlling the ball when he's passed it.

[hoosier-daddy]

Koleosho will be licking his lips with the space they are leaving us.

[IanMcL]

Burnley break. Hannibal fouled edge if box

[Commy]

Sunderland equalise at Rovers.

[AfloatinClaret]

Hannibal conned the ref there

[HollandsPies]

Yessssss

[hoosier-daddy]

GET IN!!!!!!!!!

[NickBFC]

[Wo Didi]

Oh my word what a start to the second half 2-0 to the mighty Clarets

[ecc]

GTFI

Come on!

[ElectroClaret]

Dreamland this.

[Murger]

This is great stuff.

[BigGaz]

Hannibal conned the ref there

Any touch at pace and youre off balance. He makes a meal of it which does make it look like a bit of a con but every right to go down there imo

[Commy]

They have given it Cullen on Sky. I am sure it hit O'Hare

[willsclarets]

i'll relax a bit if we get a third, so if you wouldn't mind lads...

[IanMcL]

Officially Cullen, it appears.

[Commy]

Sunderland now winning.
