Strange we had almost 60/40 in our favour possession stats. But it's what you do with it that counts.
The game turned from a good start by us after a former player hit a world class free kick. Up to that point we were getting a foothold in the game.
Selection headache for Frank now. Allen just not at the races, Wright ineffective all game, EMC unable to make the right decision, Binks lost in defence, Sako just not in the game and Grimes not having his best game.
They will be up for Burnley now and I can see Rudoni starting, Kitch back and Wright on the left with Simms down the middle.
It's all good people, don't panic Mr Mannering!

He just hasn't been horrendous.
The one he put over the bar could have been a simple catch. His reactions were slow.
Luckily, a lot of their attempts were blocked before they reached him.

You need to get over how bad he was in December - he did fine tonight, and if he continues to play like that then would be a perfectly serviceable keeper for the rest of the season.

If we meet them in the playoff final, we cannot play EMC, Bidwell, Binks, Collins. We will Wright on the left, Simms in the middle and Kitching in defence and Dovin in goal (assuming he’s fit). Need Rudoni in there as well.

It's a one off game. Anything could happen. Yes they're stronger than us, but bring back Kitching, Rudoni and get Sheaf fit, and we'd have a fighting chance on a neutral pitch.

Agreed. And sometimes he looks like he's playing in flippers he's found at the bottom of the canal!

Got to get it in the box for him, that's his strength, but we're just so, so slow at doing it in some games.

Sorry. No. He still looks scared to death when the ball comes near him.
He moves very awkwardly for a goalkeeper and I'll stand by it that his reactions are poor.
People were saying what you are saying last year/this year.
It was glossed over how shite he was for the final stretch of last season too!!

Im personally indifferent to him moving on for bigger money and potentially prem football, I cared more tonight about him not scoring against us, that would have been hard to take. He had a few good chances I had to look away for.

He did fine when thrown in against Sunderland then followed it up with the footballing equivalent of being sick into a bag.

Disappointing as it is, it’s just one game. Kitching a big miss, Rudoni really should have started and we have to hope for the best with Dovin’s injury.

We haven’t come from behind to win all season, the first goal really shouldn’t be that essential to the result. As for Sheff Utd, they’ll come bottom of the Prem next season.

He won't stay with them. They'll be back in a relegation battle again next season. He'll push for a move. Whether that's in the summer or in Jan. I can really see him at a Palace or a Brentford type team tbf. Not a big club, but a settled, mid table team.

Only the second time this season Sheff Utd beat another team that's in the top 6. Completely out classed us. Just need to forget about it, dust ourselves off and make sure we're ready for Burnley next week.

If Dovin is out its a huge blow. Enjoying the social media meltdown that Collins was brought on over Wilson though. Not sure what the deal is with our fanbase and Wilson, its all very strange.

There is good cause to be skeptical about Collins going forward, but there is no reason to argue that he did well tonight.

The people suggesting our season is over because our 22 year-old keeper got injured are hysterical.

He'll waddle off back to Feyenoord hopefully, which would be a good fit I think.
