Hard really. I question bringing on Ryan Lloyd, an inexperienced young lad when trying to defend a lead against a decent resourced club like Sheff United. However, if you can't blood young lads in the last home game of the season in what is effectively a nothing game, when can you?
Why the hell did Micky make the sub, we were on top.
Really can't believe we lost that
Dodds' goal was superb. Top class finish into the top corner from inside the area, keeper had no chance
Kenny Jackett was sat near me scouting someone
Dodds did a great job on Brayford and scored cooly in a bit of a free role. Duffy looks far better at centre half but our back 4 is still crap.
For a period of about 15 - 20 mins before they scored their first goal they seemed lost and were doing nothing.They then got that first goal and well…… normal service was resumed.
I wouldn't be too harsh on the team tonight. They played very well and worked hard all game but were up against a very classy outfit who were miles better on the ball than us and kept possession really well.
But they are a very very good team and if I was you I'd put a fiver on them to go up next year. Sometimes you have to hold up your hands and give credit to the opposing side. Their no.5 had a fantastic match.
For 80 minutes we were by far the better team but two pieces of slack defending cost us. Thought the crowd were good tonight too.
What is it with us and Sheff Utd? We never seem to have any luck with them: last minute goals, sendings off etc.
The difference between the two teams was that we played for 80 minutes whereas they rather unfairly played for 90. As soon as we switched off, after two disastrous substitutions, they smelt blood and once they'd scored one the second was predictably inevitable.
Thought Sheff Utd were poor to be honest. Kept the ball well but did zero with it and knocked it around in front of us. Annoying to lose that. Griff cocked up for the first heading back into the area rather than let it go for a corner.
Very disappointed
In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter and the poor run against Sheff U continued. However I can't believe we lost that.
Think you are going way over the top about them - I expected far more from them given their resurgence this year, but they did not impress me at all. They never threatened until two bits of poor defending from us - a woeful header from Griffith giving possession straight back to them in our area, leading to the 1st, and then should Johnson have got a hand to the ball that came across for the 2nd? - it was slack defending on our left for both anyway.
Having said that, I do expect them to go up, or at least be top 6, next season but I was surprised that they weren't as good as I thought they'd be or much of a threat tonight.
