You cannot expect to get promoted

[Tezza1889]

You're not allowed to be frustrated if you're a true Blade GCB

I don't know what it makes me then when I call every single one of them bar Henderson a complete wanker and a half hearted cunt

Freeman a and Norwood must have been on the piss together at 9 in the bankers draft, there’s no other explanation.

What’s not good is the substitutions which again handed the initiative to the opposition, but don’t take anything away from Rotherham, they were excellent from the off..

Might be something to do with being almost 50 but I thought we were lucky to go in front from freeman’s attempted clearance.

Freeman was a wanker from the first five minutes, if wilder wants to sort his substitutions out he needed the hook on 40..

Well played Rotherham...

 

[BladeInIreland]

We really need to add another attacking midfielder and a stiker in Janauary.

The depth isn't there in this squad.

I agree, we knew we needed them in the summer. January will be no different, couldn’t afford it in the summer and we won’t be able to in January. Piss poor budget.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

They came at us today and it rattled us from the off.

Said on the match day thread they did their homework on us Rev.
We seem to need too much time and too many touches on the ball to play our game unless we do the one touch stuff which is risky in itself.
Close us down and we're nullified and made to look rubbish.

 

[Deadbat]

I said it before, were always shit after an international break.

The form before it was not exactly great

 

[Deadbat]

Yet so many people claim this team is better than Warnock’s promotion team. This team needs to grow some fucking bollocks if we want to put in a challenge at the top.

Getting ready for a gradual, steady slide down to mid-table.

I agree to an extent. Fleck and Norwoods attitude stank today. They have to compete first and foremost

 

[The Vicar]

Yes, well done Rotherham, our ineptitude does not negate your 100% commitment and over all game plan.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

I agree to an extent. Fleck and Norwoods attitude stank today. They have to compete first and foremost

I'd be very surprised if we didn't see Coutts start the next game.

 

[Topplayersleave]

What a stupid comment.

You don’t judge a teams chances on ONE game. Normally our possession is easily one of the best in the league. Possession has never been a problem this season.

Let’s see how we react in the games away at Brentford and home to Leeds to judge our chances better.

Some of our posters make me laugh. If we beat Brentford Tuesday then we’ll be winning the league again. If we lose to Brentford then it’ll be a bottom half finish. How about looking at the bigger picture instead of judging a season based on each result in isolation.

And if they don't go to plan we can wait until the two games after that

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I would seriously consider Stearman and Baldock for the next game. Stearman is a leader back there and would tighten up on the mistakes and Baldock is far fitter than Freeman and gets up and down the right side faster.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Seasons not over
But I can tell you now, our promotion challenge is. They're nowhere near good enough

It seems we have players that can't last 90 minutes and players that can only last half a season as well

Signing more 30 odd year olds on the cheap has just reinforced that

It looked like a few of them had ale legs today.

Absolutely, Rotherham were excellent

 

[Harry's Game]

What is galling is that it was live on TV and shows everyone how to play against us especially when we are away from home.

Brentford will shelve their passing game on Tuesday and hustle and press us having seen that.

 

[Topplayersleave]

Don't like to criticise individual players, it usually runs deeper than that

But making the wrong decision almost 100% of the time suggests an unhappiness with the way things are at the club is filtering it's way down through Wilders obvious frustration and anger

Duffy's goal came in spite of him making the wrong decision and miscontrolling the ball due to him fucking about, he just got lucky that it fell back to him

The second goal was a misplaced cross, another bad decision, that we were lucky went over the goalies head

 

[Speedracer]

I would like to know the real reason for our total lack of passing & possession today, did we set up to play like that under instruction or were we just out battled & put off our natural game by Rotherham. To be honest I am not sure which answer would scare me the most because if we aspire to better things we have to solve problems live, & if under instruction then just why? Just one or two puzzling decisions as well as non decisions are seemingly creeping into our game but of course Wilder sees the bigger picture & I trust him to get it right. No manager is infallible but when mistakes are made they have to learn quickly from them.
I thought Rotherham played very well, their style caused us problems & overall, although I am very disappointed with both the performance & the result, I view it as a point won.

Cant take you seriously

 

[ekke287]

Freeman needs a rest, that much should be obvious after today’s performance.

Norwood was poor for me too.

Switch them out for Baldock and Coutts to freshen us up a bit. There’s not much point having squad depth if we’re not planning to use it.

Don't talk stupid.,Duffy goal was an excellent bit of skill and Sharps cross was excellent. Taking your logic then both Rotherham goals were Hendersons fault.

Both goals were lucky
In their execution and their timing because we deserved fuck all

No, nothing was Henderson's fault

Both our goals were lucky
Both were against the run of play

 

[Ricky]

You can't expect to get promoted when you're just not good enough.

 

[metalblade]

It looks like Norwich will be 5pts clear at the top tonight ..................... yes Norwich 5 pts clear, says it all about this league being there for the taking.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

or were we just out battled & put off our natural game by Rotherham.

Yes

 

[Topplayersleave]

There's no such thing as "There for the taking"
This is Sheffield United we're talking about.
The more "There for the taking" it is the more difficult we'd find it
They'd make it difficult to finish in the top six in a five team league

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We have the ability to keep possession when we need to see games out in the opponents half. But we never do..... We seem to forget all our footballing principles and start “clogging” it back to the opposition.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

When we consider the fact..it is fact..that Wilder makes the team try hard.... without him they'd be lower championship or League one players.
Team is overachieving.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I honestly think the rot has set in. The players have started to believe their own publicity. Just when everybody has started to fancy us..............We turn into a pile of shit.
I enjoyed it more when we were the underdog.

Let's be right there are no stand out teams in this season's Championship.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Doesn't get any less frustrating does it?

 

[Almosthuman]

Well if you're happy with seeing us dominate the pigs like we did and get a point and then letting the most agricultural team I've seen for a long while almost take us to the fucking cleaners, then good for you. Fucking shit Blades, nowhere near good enough, nowhere near.

What would you do differently?

 

[Jon Bon II]

What would you do differently?

Get two of the tippy-tappy squad in the box with our other two, instead of out wide, and get the crosses in earlier.
