But why are we entitled to win convincingly every game? Hull are possibly in a false position, Derby are on a horrible run. However they are made up of 11+ professional footballers who are fighting for their lives. They are not going to roll over and die.

We've won one game convincingly since xmas and that was the Norwich game. I don't think people are expecting it every game, just maybe a bit more than winning by the odd goal while not playing all that well most weeks.

Great comment from the commentator on cbs. The ball was hoofed in the air and he said " the ball has next week's weather on it." Excellent

 

[paidsy]

There are too many on here are unnecessarily negative. It’s pathetic really, it’s only bloody football.

I'd say the only unnecessary stuff has been re Cannon. Give him a month or so to make the call there regardless of the start. But the comments on the general performances are backed up by what's been on display.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Derby such a poor team

I bet the Derby forum is full of joy for their players!!!

Only one down to a super team...

 

[Peaktrade]

Leeds winning 5 nil and we're going defensive at 1 nil v Derby..

But not backed up by the fact that we are on track to be automatically promoted

Yeah no better way to go up than to put in repeated unconvincing performances, majority of wins by the odd goal. Worked well for Southampton.

 

[Thrice]

I like what I've seen from Choudhury so far. He's not flashy, but he does his job. Adds some extra security in midfield.

 

[paidsy]

And it has to be said this one is far from a done deal still

Not this season

 

[Chilttheblade]

When people display a complete lack of understanding about football, it isn't about opinions that differ to mine. Moaning that players look disjointed after 20 mins of playing in a new side, a new system, is the sign of a proper thick terwatt. Ignore if you wish.

I would stop digging if I were you

 

[SUFCinks]

Wasn’t into the choudry signing but he’s looked decent

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

I bet the Derby forum is full of joy for their players!!!

Lost 6 on the bounce yet were giving them so much respect, the sad truth is we don't create without Hamer

We're not entitled to beat anybody, but teams like Derby and Hull are where they are for a reason.
Positive, attacking play with a rehearsed and worked on structure will beat clubs that are struggling and out of form because we have better players.

We get dragged down to everybody's level because there is no strategy to our play, especially in an attacking sense.
This isn't a new thing, almost every game has been the same as the one before, win, lose or draw.

We give ourselves absolutely zero cushion for error because of our obsession with 1-0 is good enough. Boring to try to get 1-0, and even more boring once they've gone 1-0 up.
And we've done exactly the same thing today
And this team without Souttar is nowhere near good enough to hope that there'll not be an error.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

We've gone defensive and playing on the break. Could be a good move if we get a second. If!!!

Except Cannon!!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Wow, great referring decision on Choudhury. Win the ball, get kicked and have a free kick against you. Wow

 

[drblade]

they should have scored.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Squeaky bum time

 

[drblade]

come on Blades

 

[paidsy]

Fucking wake up

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

That should be 1 1 this is such a poor performance

Typical response when you don't have a proper and intelligent answer. Maybe think before you post next time sweetie.

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

[Alex Cheeseright]

Bullet dodged

 

[Jan Age]

So every game this season we’ve been wank? If you think we are that bad why do you continue to support us? Do you just get off on moaning and complaining? What do you actually want, because it’s highly likely you won’t get it following Sheffield United.

Yes we have 90% of the games have been awful mate.

I am happy with the results but the football is appalling and if you don’t see that then you don’t under stand football.

If we go up playing this style of football it will be even worse than the last time we were there.

You don’t not support a team simply because they play awful football the blades are my team…. But just because if that doesn’t mean everything is roses.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Cooper gives us so much confidence when crosses come in.

 

[Jan Age]

Leeds winning 5 nil and we're going defensive at 1 nil v Derby..

Leeds are mikes away from us mate… no comparison
