Match Thread Burnley v. Sheffield United - 21st April 2025

[Lower Drop Blade]

I dread to think what team selections he's going to put out for last 2 games

 

[Champagneblade]

Brewster’s second foul. Yellow.

It’s basically cheating now.

 

[Bobby b]

Turned off the telly i don't want to see leeds celebrate

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Fair play to Scott Parker, congrats on another promotion. The media and opposing fans seem to hate him, but credit where it's due, he's a good manager.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Start the clearout, bunch of bottlejobs

 

[Frank the tank]

Brownhill committed 3 fouls.

Ahmedhodzic committed 4 fouls and didn't get booked.

He did 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Parker might be able to afford a coat that doesn't look like it came from Mr Byrite

 

[Frank the tank]

So you saying we have no chance over 2 legs against either Bristol or Coventry?, both of who have also lost today. Yes the last few games have been poor but we have nothing to fear from any side in the playoffs.

Ignore him another sad act with nothing good to say
Ever

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Our own fault. Losing 3 on the bounce has done us.

Better performance than I expected today, but pretty toothless 2nd half.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

Even in the championship we're going to need like 6 or 7 first team signings in the summer if we want to be competitive, these clearly don't have the mentality for it

Mismanagement.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Owners need some balls and make the move quickly, these performances are disgraceful

 

[utd4ever]

Well done Burnley. Easy match for yer granted.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Well done Burnley. Easy match for yer granted.

You lot are mid table you gimp

 

[The Bear]

Good thing is that all the potential opponents in the playoffs except Millwall are out of form as well.

I reckon it will be Millwall

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Was like an FA cup match with league 1 team vs Prem team playing their reserves

 

[BettingBlade]

Oh good. We’re fighting again.

In terms of mentality this really is one of the most pathetic squads to ever pull on the shirt

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Can't blame the two point deduction for this. 4 losses from 5 after being top of the table. No chance in the play offs. Absolutely no chance. I can't even see us winning any of the last two games.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

They controlled it didn't they. Hannibal (he's in your head) is a reyt dividing little prick but that's how they beat teams.

 

[Jan Age]

I’ve been watching football a long time and we have the smell of a defeated club already I’m afraid….

Would love to be orovrn wrong but believe will go out with a whimper

Like today we had to go for it to keep our hopes alive… would you say that was going for it?

 

[paidsy]

We played well for about a third of the game tops. Just a ridiculous carry on.

 

[bartman]

No it isn't. No where near

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

He did 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes

Well yeah if you just want to make stuff up.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Need 2 goals and Wilder brings on 2 defenders. And people on here still defending him.

He’s a clueless stubborn dinosaur. I really hope we don’t go up so we can get rid. Bored shitless again today.

 

[1066blade]

Our manager isn't very good.

 

[Chris the Blade]

Hopefully

Wilder will never walk. He likes his money too much.

 

[coolasanidiot]

That game was no disgrace. If anything we were the better team and 2 pieces of madness cost us. They are a very slightly better version of us.

Gus was MOM on losing team. Bring on the play offs - I reckon we will do it.

2nd half was a Parker masterclass

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

If CW doesn’t get promoted with this squad he deserves kicking out the club, this time for good…

 

[Sheffsteel]

Our own fault. Losing 3 on the bounce has done us.

Better performance than I expected today, but pretty toothless 2nd half.

Not too sure…..think it was a typical Parker performance.
Burnley don’t take any risks, play in 2nd gear allowing us to put in a decent performance but Burnley focus on just doing enough to win.

The disappointing thing for ne was Burnley didn’t attack us much….yet somehow scored 2 goals…..through stupid easily avoidable mistakes from us.
We had more attacks but never looked like scoring a second…..Burnley defend really well.

A poor match really…..on another it would have been a 0-0 draw.

The only positive was Cannon scoring a goal showing great technique that not many other strikers would have scored against Trafford from that angle.

We've lost away to burnley and had we played like that against oxford millwall and Plymouth we'd have been 1 point in front of burnley and leeds. We'll done to the 2 who've been promoted, they've been the best, but I can't help but think what if arblaster and Soutter had lasted the season, it would have been a lot different.
I'm not at all confident of the play offs I think when you look at the last couple of months it's obvious we've already run our race
