We were so deep in their box at times and nobody dared to just have a go and shoot. Only MVE tried a shot that hit the post and went out. That was disappointing.

We were trying to break then down tbf. A few crosses rebound differently and perhaps we get the 3rd who knows

overall play was good though

Think he had to take Norman off. On a yellow and they were clearly targeting him

Definitely.

People can say leave him on all they want. The guy was odds on to get sent off, 100%

I'd of settled for a point before kick off, so you've got to be happy.
Lots of positives from the performance (even before the red card) and you can't fault the effort, and Carr gets plenty of credit.

I've said it before, we are only a couple of decent defenders away from being a very good side.

Bassette man of the match, some great shithousery.

He can't defend. And that's his primary objective

Bassette potentially would have got sent off in the 2nd half. If he stayed on reckon he’s got the winner.

Yeah he had to go off really.

Simms should have been on earlier.

I called 15 passes in their half in a row ahead of time. You shouldn’t be able to do that. Far far too predictable going forwards. Started well but fell back to old habits passing around the U

A bit disappointed would have taken a point but Sheffield United were there for the taking and looked absolutely knackered after about 65 minutes.

He's never been good coming off the bench late in games. Not helped by EMC running away from him every time he got the ball, when he's calling for him to come feet.

He had no defending to do

I thought we got some good play between winger and wing back towards end. Made space in the box for once

Just couldn't get that final pass or cross right

Sheafs chance from corner was great I can't believe he shot it wide

What?! He's been targeted as a defensive weak spot in several games.
They go over him or inside him. We can't continue with him there.

We couldn’t get the final pass right because by the time we got around to making it our strikers had given up guessing when it’s going in and their defenders were well set.

What on earth. You do realise the role of wing backs is to defend and attack don't you?

Considering his lack of tactical awareness was reason Robins got the boot it would be fucking mental to appoint him.
