Huge opportunity missed

[PeteBlade]

Burton get smashed and Walsall lose at home.

What a cracking opportunity that was to close the gap on the top two against a team who haven't won in 5 matches reduced to 10 men.

It's just a shame there are no loan players out there better than what we have already, especially as only two teams in the top 16 have conceded more than us.

If we'd got three points and they both got three points, would that be better?

 

[blade too long]

again you manage to find all the positive s , its a gift

The club should sign you up. You defend shit much better than our back 4 do.

 

[PeteBlade]

I can confirm that us getting three points would have been better than us getting one point, yes.

 

[Roygbiv]

The only positives today is that we didn't lose and Done scored again. Otherwise it was another horrible Saturday with the Blades.

 

[Ricky]

It was the perfect Sheffield United Saturday - a missed opportunity in League One whilst the likes of Gillingham leave us trailing. We always find a way.

 

[metalblade]

Feels a bit like a loss to me ................... can't beat a bottom four team who are down to 10 men ffs we can forget promotion at this rate.

 

[Barney]

Oldham Athletic, a whole 10 of them, it was always going to be tricky.

 

[Ricky]

Adkins has a lot to answer for with that nonsensical substitution. Just like at Burton, his poor decisions cost us our best chance of a win. Concerning.

 

[him behind you]

We were quite simply awful. Oldham were equally awful and the referee matched both teams. There was no entertainment for any of the game. I'd struggle to give any player from either side more than 5/10. Rubbish. Just rubbish. Rant over.

 

[Zlatan]

There are. We just seemingly don't want to pay for one (or more).

 

[Hartley Hare]

Baxter and Scougall in midfield is not the answer. We miss Doyle or someone of his ilk.

I assume the gap to the top is less than it was before the match, so that is a crumb of comfort.

This division is wide open. I urge the board to back the manager and open the purse strings to bring in the two or three players we all know we need. It is there for the taking.

You assume wrong friend, Gillingham somehow managed an away win.

 

[Hartley Hare]

Who are Gillingham?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I assume the gap to the top is less than it was before the match, so that is a crumb of comfort.

We were 5 points off the top before today. It's now 6...

I agree it's an open division. Which is why it's doubly frustrating we seem incapable of capitalising on this.

 

[blade too long]

Who are Gillingham?

its this lack of respect for other clubs thats misleading us , we are putting ourselves on an undeserved pedestal

some of our fans arrogant disdain towards other clubs is getting too close to wednesdayites arrogance
its sickening

if you go in with that arrogant stance you set yourself up for being let down

we are a league one club , so are they

 

[PeteBlade]

Who are Gillingham?

Whoever they are, they're 6 points clear of us.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I agree with LB.

It is very frustrating in view of the poor sides in this league. The board need to grab this situation by the scruff of the neck and invest in the team.

[breeny]

There are some players who are STILL not good enough. Until this is resolved we're not going up!!!

Are there ANY clubs you think we should beat?

Where's your ambition?

Just shows how inconsistant this league is , us included . And before the quip , no not happy , and not acceptable . We should be better and cannot wait until JTW.

we have top collect more points than 22 other clubs over 46 games
I think its a distinct possibility
today our front mens not took some chances
lets not forget last season we werent even making chances

theres disappointing results along the way in any season
got to keep it together when we have an off day though
all teams have them ask jimmy floyd what sort of day hes had

gillinghams scraped a win at crewe very late
dones missed a sitter and billy
but in other games they will put them away

Problem is, I bet you've been saying this kind of stuff, defending our poor results, and confidently predicting we'd still go up for the last 5 years.

 

[blade too long]

no I said wed get to the play offs last season we did but then lost Brayford when 1-0 up
it killed us
if we can finally get a season when no major players get crocked or sent down we will get up

BTL. we were again poor , and didnt deserve to win . I am not bothered about any otrher team , manager in this league . 3000 fans today saw a poor side , pity Adkins cannot see it . If he can and not doing anything about it , then we have bigger problems.

We are missing too many sitters , but thats not the root cause . We are in this league for a further season and then the rebuilding will commence.

Frustated - You Bet

I didn't go listened to it sounded like we created chances and never looked in trouble.
It is points dropped but it dosent warrant booing at the end they are pond life.

An excuse for every occasion.

I could say your being vindictive to the club on every occasion , but I dont get that petty

end of the day we didnt lose
we might have been shite
but 4 points from every 2 games is our target
Ive seen us play wonderfully well and lose

my point is no matter what the circumstances or display weve gained an away point
so its not been a dead loss
disappointing maybe
but lifes full of them without taking joy like you do out of it
you seem to revel in it when we dont win

which I find disturbing from a supporter

What utter bullshit.
What's disturbing is people like you accepting mediocrity and tying yourself up in knots to make excuses for it.

"My expectation level is 75% too high" for expecting us to beat ten man, bottom 4 Oldham being a prone example of such utter nonsense.
