I thought we did they scored against the run of play

It was a tight game which they edged.

Saying we 'wiped the floor with them' is just plainly inaccurate.

 

[PeteBlade]

No we didn't?

You think we played well? That it was a good game?

we won
they are good games

charlton saw their 1-0 win over us as good
only certain blades fan view blades wins as poor

I said we played poorly. If you're able to read. I'm pleased we won. But I'm not going to pretend it was a great performance.

Like I don't change history and try to make out we 'wiped the floor' with a team we clearly didn't.

 

[blade too long]

heres the team that beat QPR 3-0 in the cup
Sheffield United

• 01 Howard
• 12 McNulty Booked (Murphy - 82' )
• 19 McEveley
• 27 Kennedy
• 03 Harris
• 08 Doyle (Higdon - 92' )
• 22 Reed Booked
• 07 Flynn
• 10 Scougall
• 20 Campbell-Ryce
• 11 Baxter (J Wallace - 90' )

Most of that team since has had severe criticism, 2 are at portsmouth
Murphy was only good enough to come on as sub when we were winning 3 nil
If that team can win at a prem ground out of the blue
why do so many blades have no faith or hope we can raise ourselves to win games now


football fortunes can change in a moment
such a pity so many of our fans have no belief

Sheffield United manager Danny Wilson told BBC Radio Sheffield:
"I thought for large parts of that game we were very much the aggressors. I think they have been very fortunate.

Ill go with his assesment

Dear god. That's your 'proof'?!
Did you go? I did.
Opposing manager thinks team were unlucky.

 

[raul]

So - and you have to do this without invoking meaningless comparisons with any other football club you can think of - if we accept the fortunes can change in a moment bit, why didn't that team go on to win promotion and why is it so far away from it now?

yes I did
I thought we deserved a lot more out of the game

you took no joy out of winning with ten yesterday so obviously you see things in a different light

You just make things up.
I simply commented on how we played.
If you really did go to Charlton, you'll know that your assessment of us 'wiping yer floor with them' is a complete nonsense.
And if you make things up like that, how can any of your assessments of our games be taken seriously?

 

[blade too long]

I posted a bbc report that said we had 52% of the game, so how am I making things up

we have lost 1 game in the last 7, a poor defeat granted,
but some are saying we might get relegated ,
how many teams that lose 1 in 7 get relegated
what sort of an assessment is that

people accept moans very easily
too easily for my liking

And in your head, this is proof we wiped the floor with them? Slightly edging possession?
I refuse to believe anyone can be that deluded.
I've never said we'd get relegated. But we certainly won't get promoted either.

If you're talking relegation, then our last 7 league games have yielded 6 points. And three defeats. Cup games and wins have no bearing on the matter you have brought into the equation.

The next month from now until the Peterborough game on 2nd January will define what is to come for the rest of the season, it will either be a fight for a play off place, mid table mediocrity or a relegation battle.

Form what I saw yesterday it is unlikely to be a play off fight, I think the best we can hope for is mid table mediocrity, I would be concerned if we have to rely on the current players to get us through a relegation battle.

and we had no Brayford , an unfit Done, and several others missing

it amazes me how blades can only ever see things getting worse

if we cant see it , how do you expect the players to get motivated by the fans faith
what is the point of us having fans ,,,, if not to lift the team

can anyone tell me what fans are supposed to do
stand around incessantly pouring scorn on the team isnt really helping the team ,,, is it

 

[PeteBlade]

The squad we have should still be capable of beating Shrewsbury. At home.

shouldnt chelsea be capable of sweeping bournemouth aside
how long you been watching football

when Donny went up they lost 8 at home

our last promotion from this division we lost home games
Southend did the double over us

are you going to the Coventry game , not to get behind the lads but shouting out to remind them shrewsbury beat them
not very pro active ,is it

If you do something wrong at work
do you mind people coming in and saying eyup pal going to drop another clanger this week are you
would you be motivated by it

and how much you get paid has absolutely nothing to do with anything

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Small crowd does have it's advantages. Less idiots, less moaning, less pressure. So, for example, when we rightly pass it sideways or back to the keeper waiting for a better option it doesn't get booed.

We did a few times yesterday and it was wonderful to watch.

I think you've watched football for that long you view it as fairy tail.

So you think we can catch the top two when sensible folk realise we can't.

We're nothing like a promotion team so it's irrelevant how many Donny lost

And the comparison with every day jobs is a nonsense, as if most folk were as bad at their jobs as these footballers in our team are, they'd de disciplined and fired.

Well done on making the Coventry game, count yourself fortunate you've not had to watch the rest.

 

[spongebobblade]

of course you arent interested
you just want a good moan
but we have no different problems to any club, all teams have bad spells
but most fans lift their team out of it with belief and hope , they forget the bad times and go again
such a shame some of our fans have given up completely on that,

I just like a good moan?
No, I can praise when praise is due ( as I did r.e Coutts earlier today) but you just convince yourself I'm a moaner if it makes you happy. Unlike you in a realist, not someone who shows blind faith and is a happy clapper. I live in the real word and at present we just aren't good enough. Simple

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Do you honestly believe that? I thought I was a glass half full man, but I'm getting to the stage where the reality of our last 5-6 years is becoming more and more apparent and it's clear we are NOT heading in the right direction. Do you just blindly keep repeating that thought and hope that eventually it'll be true?

I like a lot of what WHF says and admire his blind optimism, but I have to say ZMF that I too was astonished by that paragraph from him, could be wrong but I'll just go and have a check again on our current position in the table.

 

[blade too long]

fairies dont have tails

again , football can change in a moment , we could have been the doggest of dog shit,results wise
but theres 26 games to be decent in left
momentum can swing at any given moment
football is played by people
they have feelings , surprising at it seems

why did our Olympians do so well in London
uncomplicated uncomplaining support

gives these people belief, added 30% to their efforts


all our players hear is derogatory comments
got to effect them

we give up totally on promotion when its statistically impossible
not before the seasons half over

Again, a lot of cliche and sentiment which had very little relevance to what we're like on the pitch.

Which is terrible.

I've used this example before (you ignored it as couldn't explain it) but in the play off semi against Swindon the team got fantastic support at a packed Bramall Lane. And guess what? We still lost.

Your desperation to blame the fans come across as exactly that, desperate.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I have to wonder what the hell it's going to take for some people to see the situation for what it is.
The club is in it's worst position since 1981, the club has an enviable wage budget and easily the highest support in this division yet is spunking it against the wall against teams we would only have expected to play in pre-season friendlies ten years ago.
I could just about forgive all of that but the saddest and most unforgivable thing of all is that the spirit which once defined Sheffield United has utterly vanished. Teams used to hate playing us because win, lose or draw we gave them a torrid time more often than not and a defeat at the Lane was a rare blip.
We had character, we had purpose and a gang mentality. All of that is demonstrably absent and has been for a long time. I simply don't want these bastards here at the club I love, stealing a wage anymore.

after Brayford went off injured
we lost our shape

and a last minute goal , and only 20000 turned up
which to me was a bit disappointing
30000 might have carried us through
we are getting nearly 20k being crap as you say

At the end of the day they have to accept responsibility for all the negative feeling coming their way. When this season started and up until recently they couldn't have asked for better backing from the fans.

They can have no complaints that despite the fantastic vocal and numerical support they've received, support that every other club in this league would kill for, they've played absolutely shit and let themselves and us down and are now facing a backlash.

They're grown men paid as professional footballers. Either they've got the balls to represent this club are they haven't. Whatever the answer is the should remember just how priveliged they are to pull on that shirt and actually act like it means something.

Such nonsense. So desperate to blame the fans.
How would 10k worth of fans help with lost shape?
Assume you think we played them off the park like Charlton?

The kind of insight you can't get from checking out the BBC stats and taking your opinion on how we play from them.

That explains the rip roaring performance then
