Defensive display

[PeteBlade]

Had a quick look over the match stats today.

We had only 39% of possession today, at home, against 14th place Swindon.

They apprently had 3 times as many shots as we did and more on target.

What the hell is it about Sheff Utd managers that makes them play over defensive?

We basically defended since we scored today, and they started on the front foot before that anyway.

Against 14th placed Swindon.

They'll come a time when the 19k worth of united fans lose patience with this shit.

That time could come next season.

As it stands I have no desire to renew my season ticket watching this cack every week.

How many others must feel the same way?

After 5 years of crap football and failure bar the first season i don't think blades fans will be going anywhere

I'm surprised we had as much as 39%. We have over half the team who look uncomfortable with the ball at feet so they just play a long ball over the top. I haven't seen that stats but I can't imagine we had much more possession at Colchester or Wigan either.

Sounded from his interview, that we were inviting Swindon on in the hope of catching them on the break (using our renowned pace of course).

Which as a team apprently chasing promotion against a shit mid table non entity, is acutely embarrassing.

Thing is, in this instance, there are only 6 Swindon players in the picture, opposed to our 10, they had plenty of cover

How very odd of him. We have no pace and we aren't attacking with any tempo, that is until we need to, Wigan being the prime example. We need players, good ones and fast, pun intended.

Ours are clearly huddling together for warmth. Who can blame them?

How much space does their player on the left have? Who should be marking him?

Pace Wiz, it's been that long, I've almost forgotten what it's like to have someone who can play with pace, even their centre backs today could motor faster than most of our team.

On their left, Brayford or Reed should be over there, at least Reed is facing up the Player with the Ball, but its not his job

That job is for the defensive midfielder, Baxter, he is behind Collins and Edgar

Baxters huge arse is keeping their player onside

This photo should be presented, framed, to Adkins when he gets the sack ..........

It isn't though is it? Their guy on the left is clearly offside.

Nice, have a like.

No spark or urgency in CM. How many teams have capitalised on that this season? Plodding and lacklustre yet again. And Adkins thinks it acceptable.
