    Match Thread Shef Utd - Coventry City Match Thread Wednesday 25th Feb 19.45 KO

    I used to work with a Bulgarian girl who used to eat raw onions (peeled) like an apple. Stank the whole office out. Can't remember why I started writing that, especially not on the match thread.

    Absolutely no way that they can keep up this level of press. Wilder has gone all in first half. We'll win this 2-0 if we can get to half time.

    Bindon can have a career as a frat boy bully in American movies, if his football career doesn't work out.

    What we have done well in the last 2 games is move up and down the pitch as a team. Sheff Utd have pushed us so deep that all the short easy passes have gone away and we're struggling to retain possession due to a lack of options.

    Callum O'Hare looks like he smells like a tramp.

    Do the numbers flatter one of our strikers?

    The biggest problem for me is that they don't really provide any meaningful variation to each other. So if we are up against a low block and Wright is getting nullified because he hasn't got any space to get in behind, you want to bring on a striker on who is comfortable back to goal so that...

    Wright

    His cold patch has come in a run of matches where we were tactically awful. Arriving into the box with a ball into feet, or spinning a centre back so we get him through on goal is how to get the best of him. We should not be using him as a target man, or lumping aerial crosses into the box from...

    really good performance and the set up against a team who were prepared to attack us was perfect. Hope we don’t get carried away though, it’ll be the performances against teams who are happy with a point that make the real difference from now on.

    Frank has got out of jail with that penalty. Far too slow to change the obviously gassed players. Well done Haji.

    They were asked to act out their favourite movie. Thomas loves Debbie does Dallas. Rudoni however is a massive fan of Alien. And MVE 's favourite is Little Shop of Horrors

    I genuinely don't think it matters when we are set up as badly as we are recently. Here's a screenshot from less than 10 mins into the 2nd half vs Oxford demonstrating what I mean. Wright is already looking for a ball over the top and playing his fine offside margins game. Esse is just...

    But it also tells you a lot about what is dysfunctional about our play right now, especially against a team sitting deep. Our 2 in midfield get on the ball and see 2 wingers, whoever won the 'I get to play number 10 this week' lottery, and our striker all paired up with the opposition's back 4...

    Absolutely no-one was breaking lines and running beyond the striker. It's essential in breaking down a low block. Our formation is rigid, Esse's random wandering about aside, the players static. There's no tempo or urgency. I've said for several weeks now, I don't think the players know what the...

    Esse surviving for 89 minutes is indicative of how lost Lampard is trying to win a game at the moment. Plan was just to hope he does something magic?

    9th game in a row with no set piece goal. We're focused on the lacklustre performances but that's gone to shit too.
