Match Thread Match Thread ...Sheffield United v. Coventry City - 25th February 2026

[Jan Age]

1-0 loss all over it unfortunately

 

[Wetwang blade]

At least Wendy is getting stuffed. A lot of wasted balls by both teams. Should have had a penalty and ref is terrible. I've never seen as many shots hit the opposition. We should be winning this match. UTB.

 

[Iceybabey]

Top of the league my arse. Need a goal so we don't get hit with the sucker punch ffs

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

If Tanganga dragged their winger back in the box they'd have had a pen and we'd have had another red card, some of the most biased refereeing i've ever seen this season

 

[Champagneblade]

Should have had a penalty. Skinned him twice and he pushed him down.

We are miles better than them on the right. Need to keep this going.

Good performance so far.

Come on United!

 

[BangorBlade]

Good 1st half, reduced them to 0 shots on target.
Soumare & Peck working well in MF, Bamford having a quite game.Brookes & Seriki have bn outstanding again
Refs a tosspot.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Ref bottled the pen didn’t want to send mason clark off

 

[Snowflake]

Same brain dead 2 centre backs with 2 wing backs
Same endless 5 yard passing crap rather than attacking their defence BEFORE they all get back in position
Make THE BALL do the work scenario required.
Same brain dead inverted wingers. ATTACK WIDE CRETIN!
Two of THE BEST attacking players in the division disabled by the imbecile Wilder and almost all our attacking threat nullified
Tanganga is due another error on the basis I cannot remember him making one the last game.
A number 10 with no shot, no pace to beat a man, the passing range of a kin subuteo player and the physical strength of a 6 stone 16 year old girl
AND a kin hair band to match!
And a journeyman overpaid stroller guaranteed a place up front despite his hold up play being more dangerous for the opposition than us
We need a LOT of luck and brilliance from stars like Seriki Peck Brooks Hamer - NONE of whom were signed by the imbecile Wilder.
As Anel and Souza last year.

Your positivity gives me hope that the world will not end this year !!

Deserve to be winning, aren't, and can't help but think that will now be punished

 

[Dean68]

Soumaré gives the ball away far too often - wins possession well, but is so one-footed it reduces his options when he gets the ball

 

[Snowflake]

Not a penalty. Seriki should have carried on and crossed the ball instead of diving because he had been touched.

 

[Addison]

Competed well but age old problem of not taking chances when we're on top. Hamer needs to change his boots as he's all over the place and not giving enough support to the left of our defence. Bindon and Burrows have struggled. Thats where SISU will hit us second half.

All about us now coping with Lampard changing tactics early second half. Its our weakest link. We have to see out the first 15 minutes where we usually concede. All about confidence if we take the game to them we can cause problems. Ref giving us nothing but then again whats new.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Not seen many more dead sert Pens.

We should be 2 up. Brooks, Siriki, COH, Peck, Siriki all brilliant.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

So grabbing the player’s arm when they’re past you in the penalty area is no longer a foul.
Didn’t know that rule.
Thanks Mr. Busby for the education.

Coventry are defending really well. Ref is ok.

He really is shit or champagne

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Not a penalty. Seriki should have carried on and crossed the ball instead of diving because he had been touched.

I don't really see people's beef with the ref

Refs have to decide whether the contact is sufficient to put off the player from his next move. That clearly wasn’t.

 

[Champagneblade]

It’s getting annoying now with these referees.

We get bullshit decisions like Tanganga seeing red when Knibbs should have done get they don’t miss things like Phillips.

We’ve had that perfectly good equaliser against Southampton chalked off. I’m not all woe is me, but United are certainly not getting the decisions at all.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Not a penalty. Seriki should have carried on and crossed the ball instead of diving because he had been touched.

However 2 mins later rudoni flops to the floor without being fouled, ref gives a foul

 

[Ron_Justice]

Not a penalty. Seriki should have carried on and crossed the ball instead of diving because he had been touched.

He did him twice, was past him for a third time and he got his left arm tugged back. Not sure what more you'd need to constitute deliberate contact, in the box, with the intent to disrupt a player.

Reading his fucking posts makes me hope it will…

The Coventry commentator and Steve Ogrizovic disagree with you.

It shouldn’t have disrupted him. He should have crossed it and we might have had a goal.

 

[Snowflake]

Michael Brown didn’t.

Why grab his arm if not to put him off?

 

[FINUK]

I wasn’t against the selles appointment but could do with those ten wasted games back

 

[Barnette]

Its a shame OHare isn't more positive on the ball...his first thought is to get rid on the counter...probably because of his lack of pace.

Does a lot of harrying, but also so many moves break down because of him.
