Our blocking has been great. Wonder how Boro beat these. They've been really up for this. Just have to soak up the pressure and get one of our counter attacks to work. Wright should've done better when Rudoni crossed it for him.

[Nick]

Rudoni??? He's the least of our problems. EMC anonymous, JDS getting turned inside out.

It's overall a very cagey away performance, need to improve second half

Rudoni puts us under pressure by giving it away every time

 

[tigersb]

Never a pen
Slight contact did not justify the dive

 

[CCFCSteve]

It really hasn't been

Yeah, for all the pressure we created a couple of great chances. Need more from EMC and Rudi though. would be tempted to make a couple of changes as we’ve got good options on bench

 

[Marty]

Chris Wilder is such a scummy little prick.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

15 shots to 4, we haven't imposed ourself but defended well. We need to step it up second half really

 

[Paul Anthony]

Knew it was going to be tough, but we have not helped ourselves at all at times. We keep playing ourselves into their press and losing it. It feels inevitable they're going to score if we play like that second half.

Yes I feel like we have the depth to really attack the second half.

 

[djr8369]

Lots of bad decision making contriving to give them lots of chances but the getting the blocks in. Hopefully we sharpe up and they tire second half.

 

[Shannerz]

That was such a sloppy half of football; about five or six times we've put ourselves under huge pressure by playing really poor passes out of defence.

EMC and Wright have been extremely poor indeed.

 

[covmark]

Pretty poor half. Some really good defending though. We'll be better second half.

 

[Garlana86]

Might need to bring EMC off, he looks slow, getting bullied and that winger is rinsing him, I see another booking coming unfortunately.

 

[mrfr]

Wilder is such a prick, but fair play to the blades club shop for stocking tracksuits made for fat 9 year olds, it fits him a treat.

 

[curly_tom]

We weren’t awful at all. Sheff were good. That’s the difference between the last couple of games. We gave the ball away a few times but so did they. I think Sheff Utd will tire and won’t keep that up.

 

[Evo1883]

What an odd half of football.

Wingers barely involved Rudoni and Wright seeing a lot of the ball.

Wright should at least hit the target in 1 of his 3 shots.

Bobby has been excellent and blocked everything.

Not entirely sure what our game plan has been really , lool totally clueless when we get the ball .. haji has worked hard

 

[JohnWH]

I'll be Mr. Positive and say that was a half of both highs and lows. Bit of a chat in the dressing room, maybe a substitution, this game has goals in it one way or the other.

 

[Nick]

Take a draw

 

[Esoterica]

Fuck off wilder you spud faced twat

The amount of chips on Wilder's shoulder is the only reason Hamer didn't leave in the January window.

 

[stupot07]

We look like a side playing the same 11 for the third consecutive game. There's some leggy performances out there.

 

[Nick]

We need to put it in the channels and let him go against their defenders.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He's worked hard but on the ball hes been very poor. Snatched at chances, poor in link up. The one chance he didnt snatch at and let come to him it let the defender nick infront of him.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Never a pen

Should have been yellow
They’ll get one if they keep diving though

 

[Cally Fedora]

Chaos. Fairly ridiculous to identify Rudoni as the issue when both full backs and wide players have been woeful. Only Rudoni and Wright doing anything other than blocking shots that they have after we’ve given the ball to them.

 

[mrfr]

This is their cup final.

 

[PVA]

Clinging on badly at the end. Need to tighten up or a Blades goal (or two is inevitable).

 

[clint van damme]

Again know it’s early but wonder if it’s worth putting Kitching on for Rudoni and going 3-4-3. Just to guard against that transition. Could then put BTA for emc

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Interesting to see how awful people thought that was. I thought we created a bit. Utd were always going to be decent.

I can confirm that the Sheffield Utd commentators thought it was a penalty. It wasn’t.

 

[bukayosakamoto]

The standard of football from both teams overall has been shocking AND we've been second best. Just switched on the Real Madrid Benfica game and it's amazing how entertaining a game of football is when both teams can string a pass together

 

[Liquid Gold]

Bit of an overreaction on here.

Blunts are huffing and puffing and we’ve not been in serious danger. They won’t be able to keep this up and we have game changers on the bench.

I’m tempted.

 

[TomRad85]

Its a hard game and its 0-0. We've done some weird shit but if it ends this way I'm totally fine with it.

 

[Shannerz]

Genuinely confused about why they're upset at the referee.

They thought they should have had a penalty.

I don't agree, but EMC made him make a decision, which was stupid.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Rudoni puts us under pressure by giving it away every time

Came on to post just the same. Can't keep losing it in the middle of the park like that.

 

[bukayosakamoto]

It was wank mate

 

[stevefloyd]

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.

Was her name Shallot?

 

[Frostie]

We look like we can cause them problems but fuck me, we've created our own problems more.
