[100% part time blade]

Best thing to say is despite Coventry being far better in every aspect is of the game, we’re not losing. Surely we’ll be better 2nd half.

 

[robbiez666]

We are very lucky to be level. If Coventry had an end product going forward they could easily have scored 3. Defence is appalling but Egan and Robinson in particular are losing battles. Nothing much upfront. MGW is lively but not protecting the ball well and Sharp getting scraps. Norwood has been poor. Hourihane a bit better but we're being outplayed here.

 

[Iceybabey]

MGW needs to get his head out of his arse asap

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Looking a bit frail at the back, melting like Maltesers. Brilliant save by Wes when they broke through.

 

[Harry's Game]

Definitely second best in that half,

 

[Bobby b]

There isnt much cohesion today, to be honest this commentator is getting on my tits, I dont mind being a bit biased but this bloke is like 10 year old kid. Weve got to combat this long ball and we need to make those 2nd balls

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Possibly need a bit more of a link between midfield & strikers. N’Diaye would possibly give us that, Sharps hold up play has been really good so far we just can’t get enough bodies around him

 

[adamawdhali]

Criminal defending for their goal. Robinson misjudging header, egan not following his man and Wes should have saved that in my opinion

 

[Middle Aged Blade]

We are a second half team though …… he says hopefully

 

[Overthehills]

Not our finest 45 minutes of football, but we are still level so all to play for.

As said, defensively they seem to be causing us some real problems. But with so many injured, it is difficult to know how to address this?

Fingers crossed the lads settle a bit second half.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

When we’re not controlling possession and have no rhythm we’re better off replacing Norwood with an attacker. Worked against forest bringing on Jebbison for Norwood and he didn’t even have that good a game.

Wouldn’t mind seeing N’Diaye getting a run out

 

[The Hobott]

The Coventry fans slagged our style of play off in their view from, but they seem very much a long ball team, I suppose were playing a bit long today

Ironic isn't it given that they are incredibly direct - long balls and fast breaks. They are good at it though.

 

[originaltrueblade]

We have the wind in second half

 

[Steelcitysenior]

Our squad is getting threadbare, think we nearly as many out injured as fit.
Come on Blades, let's turn it on. UTB

 

[Headshrinker]

The ref has been superb. It is rare to see a ref that doesn't give free kicks for every little thing and dive.

 

[Headshrinker]

The defense has been awful today.

 

[DromoreBlade]

FFS!

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Wake up you dozy fuckers!!!

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Pathetic

 

[HarryHaslam]

Abysmal, not one player with marks over 4 yet, shambles.

 

[LudlamBlade]

Coventry's main tactic seems to be to only water their side of the pitch and then just twat it forward.

Scabby club, scabby football, scabby fans.

Come on united!!!

 

[originaltrueblade]

Egan all over the place

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Wtf was that

 

[BangorBlade]

Ffs

 

[Bobby b]

They deserve it I've got to say

 

[CPB]

I'd bring on N'Diaye for Norwood or Hourihane. N'diaye closes them down too think we need that.

 

[Bobby b]

Wtf is happening with the defence

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Performance like this after a brilliant performance midweek, it just doesnt make sense. Falling to pieces all over the pitch, hopefully we can regroup and offer something better.

 

[Yogi]

This has thus far been heckys worst game tactically for us they’re countering our shape really well isolating Norwood and having lots of time and space in midfield when they turn the ball over
