LOL So many people texting in and moaning about Thorn and how he doesn't have a clue and he must go.

It's as if they believe he's on the pitch himself.

Surely they should be moaning at the players for their lack of Urgency and finishing in the final 3rd.

I will say this old sky blue lad is a pleasure to listen too. Has a load of good points about the two upfront lads...play it to their feet, don't try to hoof it to them!!!

Right somehow we are level, need to see a reaction from the players second half

Yet again it seems on paper we have a better team but there is a lack of urgency and complete aptitude to look clueless when in possession

We have a newer team on paper whereas Sheff U have pretty much the same side as last season

Have we though? I'm sure their fans haven't heard of half our players either.

No we haven't Stu but the players look lost. There is no direction and no leadership. We seem incapable of keeping the ball. Brown I feel sorry for as he has to adapt to this crazy formation. The forwards are miles away from the midfield. It is just so poor not just in application bit tempo.

Yes. I work with a number of Sheffield United fans who say our team is better on paper. They were expecting to be outplayed and beaten

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 21, 2012

I think it's the clueless nature of our play at times.... is it that the players don't get Thorn's tactics? or the players not listening to Thorn? or are the players shit? or is the manager shit? or is it all of the above?

They must be as optimistic as most of our fans pre-game then

Macca · Aug 21, 2012

I think the behind the scenes issues must be playing some part

Brown seems like he is a few steps away from making a crucial mistake in a game.

Shame Clarke is injured as the CB pair should be Malaga and Wood.

Have all the players accepted their bonus cut? McSheffrey? Baker?

Macca · Aug 21, 2012

Come on then boys lets see what you ve got

They lost 3 of their best players from this year but most are expecting to go up (with us apparently).

Agreed Malaga looks ok but having made the change we need to adapt our style of play he looks nervous and uncomfortable.

That was to the players, not the forum!

Blimey it's getting harder to justify paying money for this. And if I hadn't been brainwashed I probably wouldn't

Tell me about it

Has Malaga looked decent then?

Looks like with a decent run he could be a decent player for us. Not a hoof merchant...

Good. Hoping when I can make my first game (not until September now!) that we will be playing a bit better.

Tad · Aug 21, 2012

Sheffs must be kicking themselves that they haven't scored yet. We look uninterested so far.

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 21, 2012

We are playing shit yet still in the game against the L1 title contender ....

Creativity yet again is a problem. We don't have a half decent replacement for Fleck it seems.

Macca · Aug 21, 2012

Decent players individually but no cohesion or structure

Is it that the player in that position is being bypassed?

What, you thought we had a Plan B ? D'oh

It wouldn't take much to be in the mix in this league from what I ve seen

That's what is frustrating.... the quality is there but they don't seem to know what they are doing.

Grendel · Aug 21, 2012

We've had an effort on goal!

mark82 · Aug 21, 2012

SSN say Sheffield United are dominating.

musicmanskyblue · Aug 21, 2012

Sky sports saying Sheff utd dominating the whole game...

CovisGod · Aug 21, 2012

Sheffield United "bossing" the game according to John Salako

sw88 · Aug 21, 2012

55 minutes and some decent play!

ccfc92 · Aug 21, 2012

Come on City, FFS

Up North Sky Blue · Aug 21, 2012

Has Fisher got Dennis Wise's mobile number?

Grendel · Aug 21, 2012

At least we are starting to look up for it.

mark82 · Aug 21, 2012

Wishing I hadnt shelled out on my flexi ticket at the moment.
