Its one game though, we clearly don't play like that every week. I agree that a draw would've maybe been a fairer result but neither side were at their sparkling best. Hard fought away wins in this league are like.gold dustThought Leicester were bang average and damn lucky to leave with all the points.
Can see them finishing mid table at best. If it weren’t for a gift from Basham and then a worldie then they would have left with fuck all. Can’t remember Hendo having to make one save or them actually creating any other chances.
For a team that must have genuinely been awarded close to £1b over the past 6 years in the Prem compared to our fuck all in the lower leagues then they have hardly propelled themselves out of sight.
Most were young kids, tops off, pissed up and singing about Harry Magure. Pretending to be hard in Bramall Lane after the game - as long as the coppers were nearby.Cheers Roy
I think half of these never even saw the game
Unfortunately none .....My view of the Blades is through Red and White tinged spectacles, accepted. I’m either a clapper or a slasher, no in between.
But, reading those posts, I’m astounded that some of them don’t recognise that as well as determination we have skills, strength and tactics. Presumably they have formed their opinions through unconscious bias and MOTD highlights.
Have to say though, PL Big Boys and how many saves did Hendo make?
That first half won't have helped thenView attachment 60350
Think this explains a few comments. They think we are a long ball team due to our past. It's going to take a while to get rid of the tag as our most successful teams have been hoofball.
In the same way Forest and West Ham are associated with good football , we are associated with direct football so every longer pass or robust challenge just adds to the cemented view of Sheffield United. The media don't help either.

A very good assessment eddie, I don’t mind us mixing it up a bit and finding out what works best, I just think we didn’t put enough crosses in as they were causing them all sorts of problems.That first half won't have helped then
We hoofed it and passed the ball out of play under no pressure for the majority of the half
People can only base their opinions on what they see
Second half we were much better but we still looked to get it out wide and relied on crosses
There style of play was much more sophisticated , we frustrated them but I think we let ourselves down mentally we looked shit scared first half and then retreated twenty yards after we scored
Only seen.us do this a few times under wilder and usually he makes sure it doesn't happen again.
Think on this occasion this might be one of those defeats where we learn more than.from a good result

Embarrassing to see some of the Leicester fans reactions to the game. I didn't think you lot looked like a newly promoted team for most of the game. The worry would be who's gonna get you enough goals although that McBurnie should chip in a few when he gets regular game time
Bang on, it’s sad, but it’s reality.“It was old fashioned tactics in an old fashioned stadium with an old fashioned, blood and thunder atmosphere.”
I found something really sad about that comment.....because unfortunately it's true.
The sport I grew up with as a kid has become 'old-fashioned'
Traditional atmosphere-filled grounds replaced by modern, middle class theatres.
Big brother CCTVs watching our every seated move.
No venting of adult frustration with adult language please, we're here to be entertained and to get our over-inflated money's worth.
Maybe I'm just getting old.
Yeah we were unlucky not to get something out of the game ( which on reflection ) considering how poor we were first half is something to be proud ofS
Starting to grind my gears a bit the coverage of the goal.
Wilder has his own reasons for slamming the players and I can understand after the first half.
But, they failed to break us down at all the entire match, whereas we at least scored a legitimate goal from open play. We need a swap up front though. We can't keep playing the first half without presenting a goal threat.
End of the day, their opening goal was a silly mistake. Their winner was a worldy with about a 4% success rate and it was also a foul on Egan than unforgivably in the days of VAR was totally overlooked.
That second half, especially after the goal, we pissed on them. They got lucky. Play like this, we would have bad luck all the time.
So you did like them before 1961? I’d hardly call that never.
1961 FA Cup semi final 2nd replayNever knew they existed prior
If your Crab-bus A380 needs an increase in power, my neighbour has chucked out his old hedge trimmer.I see the league as being pretty much in three sections. Bournemouth and palace you'd think would be with us and we have taken 4 points. I see you guys as being at the top of the middle section, with a fair stab at Europa League. So a win or draw would have been nice for us but wasnt to be.
Mixed bag of opinions from you guys so.thanks for the positive ones, and a Crab Airlines ticket to Guantanamo Bay for the negative ones

Do try to get it before the scrap man. There's a good chap.
Our football is great, yours is not.
We're classy but you only trouble us by working hard.
Naturally we won but if we hadn't it was a fluke.
This is why I don't like cosying up to any of the other fans in this division irrespective of what they say of us beforehand.

hoofball from the wings now? didn’t they used to call it a cross?“Sheff U were literally sideways, sideways and then hopefully hoof a cross in. Repeat. No dynamism”
I actually agree with that comment.
Because Ricardo nullified our threats down the left we became overreliant on Baldock to produce something in/around their box.
We need to look at playing more through the middle and I wonder if the absence of Fleck was the reason for that?
Seems another team had an 'off day'.
Amazing.
Avionics term, Trim.It's fair to say that In an effort to maintain profit margins, I tend to buy planes that may need a "fettle".......
Robbed in the first match at Elland Road when Doc Pace scored a great goal right in front of me to take us to Wembley. It was a perfectly good goal and the ref twenty years on said he regretted getting that decision wrong. Hated Leicester from that moment on even more after City Ground and especially St Andrews1961 FA Cup semi final 2nd replay
