"It was obvious to anyone who had even a modicum of intelligence that Michael Higdon would always go on to have a solid career as a target man. His 10 in 81 games meant that his goalscoring record was never great for us but young target men often don't add goals to their game until a few years in (even Shearer only scored 23 in 118 games at his first club Southampton)."
"In my opinion that was a game lost due to Davis' baffling decision to change the currently working formation... We were over run in the mid field and sloppy at best at the back"
"By the end of the first half Crewe were in the game without really testing Sheffield other than through Cooper's quick turn and shot."
"thought we were poor until we went down to 10 men! Baffling.Ref was appalling, yet again, but we were still lucky to walk away with a 0-1 defeat ... just my opinion."
"Their wingers wreaked havoc at times. One word for their manager. Ferguson came in for a lot of stick after Tuesday's match - Clough was really disappointing in some of his antics and showed less class IMHO."
"Can't be too disappointed with that, we could've nicked a point but would n't have deserved it, I thought they were good, so they should be at this level."
"United could easily have had a couple sent off if the referee had been a little more even handed."
"Good following from the Blades"
"Sheff U, well they are pottering along quietly and grinding out wins. Not looked overly convincing or smashed anyone yet, but they are doing well."
"We were poor today, against a good side though. heff U spent most of the first 45 camped inside our half. But, it has to be said, after missing the 2 great chances in the first 10 minutes, Sheff U didn't test Garratt seriously again in that half. 2nd half more of the same every time Sheff U ran at us, absolutely comical defending. Murphy checks back and lays it to Scougall for an easy tap in. It was no more than United deserved, they'd been comfortably the better team for almost all the game.d Sheff U missed a few quality chances, JCR being the worst culprit. Sheff U win 1-0 and it was fully deserved. They were the better side bar a shaky 10 minutes in terms of overall play, but their final 3rd work was poor. Didn't create anywhere near enough when compered to how much of the ball they saw in the game. Should have won it 3 or 4 nil mind, they missed at least 3 good chances and blew several other half chances. They were much better than even the 11 man Posh side on Tuesday, more variety and creativity, but lacked a clinical edge. One of the better teams I've seen us play this season."
"ref was clueless "
"Better team won but at least we made them work for it"
"Sending off was right. Could have gone earlier"
"Poor discipline didn't help today. Surely Ray should have walked for the penalty"
"I love the fact "we are" annoyed at a 1 0 loss to Sheff U. Shows we've moved forwards in itself"
"Worrying amount focused on ref's performance. Bad yes, but Nobody seems to be concerned we played 90% of that game in our half?"
"Dirty tactics from Sheffield but they had quality n was a soft goal 2 give away. However, thought we deserved a point from that!"
"They defended very well"
"Beaten by better players and a streetwise manager"
"this time last month we would have lost that game about 5-0, you can't deny the effort that was shown today "
"Sheffield Utd deserved that win but we can't be too downbeat"
