If you’re scoring conversion rate is 7%, ie you fucking miss 93% of your shots, and you only decide to attack after 60mins when you concede, the odds of winning or even drawing a game are irrefutably small..really looking forward to fans defending these tactics....that performance was unforgivable and it’s all the coaching team!

 

[Drunk blade]

VAR is a joke.

Kante could have been sent off earlier in day for a tackle that wasn't too dissimilar to Lunstram vs Brighton.

No consistency.

Keeper gets the ball first pal

 

[007]

Sheffield United fail to turn up in must win game - has that ever happened before

 

[Sheffsteel]

Hi

norwich played better than this pal

True but they had an appalling defence and we so open meaning they were thrashed most weeks.
Even though we’re crap we still hardly concede any goals. Every game is usually a close 1-0 defeat.

The thing that bothers me is that the players and manager seem to be happy accepting 1-0 defeats.
Its as though we‘re proud that we give every team a game and no team (even Man City) has come close to thrashing us.

 

[Karlos]

I wish it was a pen but never was lads - 50/50

You are fucking joking surely? Bogle touches the ball then gets took out knee high 2 yards from goal.
It's a penalty and a red card simple as that.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Full marks to Fulham.

 

[HD8 Blades]

My steams 2 mins behind. Can I turn it off please?

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Keeper gets the ball first pal

John Lundstram got sent off at Brighton for winning the ball.

Penalty & a red card all day long.

 

[Iceybabey]

Fulham are better than us. Simple.

I'd rather Newcastle go down with us than Fulham. Fulham would walk the Champ.

 

[BlairBlade]

That was awful.

 

[Working Class Hero]

That result doesn't really matter in the scheme of things. But that team selection and setup raises massive questions for me. Wilder needs to sort his head out.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Nah. Out

 

[SUFCinks]

Wilder has REALLY fucked up this game. Wilder should go after that. Hideous performance!

 

[Drunk blade]

John Lundstram got sent off at Brighton for winning the ball.

Penalty & a red card all day long.

And I bet you said that wasn't a sending off as I did, clutching at straw as pal.. We were just shite and got what we deserved.. Fuck all

 

[toledo]

Worst performance from a SUFC team since Adkins team... how can we play that bad in a must win game ?

a very sad Toledo tonight...

 

[SUFCinks]

You are fucking joking surely? Bogle touches the ball then gets took out knee high 2 yards from goal.
It's a penalty and a red card simple as that.

They both contact the ball at the same time.

confirmed by a team of officials who watch the replays from about 5 angles and slow mo.

Move on, not a pen

Edit: just watched the replay - you are right, i think it should have been a pen!

 

[BlairBlade]

No doubt some will add that to all those so close games we lost by only one goal.
Woeful and dreadful.
We weren't set up to even try to win.
As they said, we are "ROCK BOTTOM"

 

[BarnsleyBlade]

Get rid of the fucking lot.....including Wilder!!! No ambition, no idea, no desire!!!

 

[Peaktrade]

A positive from today - pigs lost aswell

 

[FredZeppelin]

Another cowardly performance. From both players and management.
Sick of feeling humiliated every week.
Still, I'm sure we'll see them all having a laugh in training. That's all that matters.
Wankers.

 

[ChezVegasBlade]

Why do all our decent players get injured, why can't it be useless Lundstram?

 

[PrestwichBlade]

That was embarrassing.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

And I bet you said that wasn't a sending off as I did, clutching at straw as pal.. We were just shite and got what we deserved.. Fuck all

Doesn’t matter. Can’t have it where one is a red card and the other isn’t even a foul.

 

[BladesOnToast]

I thought we'd got out the habit of losing 1-0 after bucking that trend at West Ham. Now it's back to the bad old habits.

Cm'on United get stuffed by many goals like we deserve

 

[BarcaBlade]

Focusing on the cup

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

That result doesn't really matter in the scheme of things. But that team selection and setup raises massive questions for me. Wilder needs to sort his head out.

Especially Basham starting in midfield with Lundstrum in the centre. Completely lost with what Wilder is doing. The obvious decision with that line up was Bash RCB and Ampadu centre mid which he changed to after 20 minutes of a pointless exercise

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

It’s decision time for Wilder. Either show some spine and resign or show some bollocks, say I’ve got it wrong this season and I will change it. His interview after the worst display I’ve seen in two decades will answer my question.

 

[Ernest]

That was fucking abysmal.

 

[Karlos]

They both contact the ball at the same time.

I'm not so sure pal. Rewound it back and watched it again and Bogle definitely gets the touch.its the view from behind the goal that's the best one . Still doesn't take away how shit we were today though unfortunately.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Another cowardly performance. From both players and management.
Sick of feeling humiliated every week.
Still, I'm sure we'll see them all having a laugh in training. That's all that matters.
Wankers.

Spot on. I feel ill tonight. Thanks Blades.
