[Greasy Chap Butty]

Very scrappy and wasteful tonight

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Campbell has done well stretching their 2 CBs

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Souza still gives the ball away dangerously on a regular basis, even at this level, but no one seems to say anything. Peck is a bigger culprit. I like his style and ideas but it's too often at the moment

I think you are getting Vini mixed up with someone else, because he hardly ever gives the ball away even with 2 or 3 opposition players around him.

 

[Thrice]

Souza is a beast. A colossus

Who would've thought he'd become this team's midfield general after watching him last season. Night and day.

 

[HackeyBlade]

And that's also why Wilder doesn't start him on the left. He would be limited and predictable.

More predictable than having to cut inside EVERY SINGLE TIME?

 

[robbiez666]

There's no real plan when we attack. We seem to be relying on a player producing something out of the blue.

 

[Blade56]

Souza still gives the ball away dangerously on a regular basis, even at this level, but no one seems to say anything. Peck is a bigger culprit. I like his style and ideas but it's too often at the moment

What / who are you watching? He played one short ball, tracked back and defended mistake

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I'd have taken 0-0 HT but we've got the measure of these and should be ahead so it's disappointing. Also no Hamer to bring on after 60 as I hoped so less likely to score later than we might have been

I'd be looking to get Moore and Sakyi on soon. Sakyi at HT for Brooks. Arblaster for Peck too. All obvious changes. Should go on to win but you never know how the opponents will come out after the break

 

[Brian Deane]

Too many players Isolated when we regain possession. Brooks, Rabbit and Burrows all in space but no option other than a 30m backwards pass .....disappointing

 

[Sheffsteel]

H-T 0-0

We've been the better side with Hamer having the best chance of the match hitting the post
but it's been tough because Bristol City have shown us loads of respect by being cautious and keeping it tight at the back.
Yet again our defence looks really good and agree with the earlier comments.
Peck keeps tries too many difficult passes and has been guilty of cheaply giving the game away. We've played quite well but all our attacks and passing seem too slow so when we catch Bristol on the break, we give them time to get plenty of players back.

This game has been a bit like a game of poker. Both Sheff Utd and Bristol City seem reasonably happy with a draw but who'll blink first.
At present it's looking like it will be a 0-0 or a 1-0.

 

[Thrice]

More predictable than having to cut inside EVERY SINGLE TIME?

He doesn't have the end product yet, but I prefer him cutting inside over spamming crosses from the left.

Souza Couple of sloppy balls early then he's been great. Peck very inconsistent but improved towards the end of the half.
O'Hare has been more involved than usual.
Brooks very poor, Hamer unlucky with that shot

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I think most people will forgive Wilder tossing this one off, if we win on Sunday, but I'm not a fan of this tinkering. Looks like we are hoping for summat to happen rather than forcing it.

 

[ATL Recs]

It's why our attack hasn't quite clicked yet this season, too many players hesistant with the final ball, wanting an extra touch or two before releasing the final ball or shooting. Brooks and Rak-Sakyi are the biggest culprits.

Brooks yes Rak-Sakyi are you kidding he’s the most aggressive attacking option we’ve got

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I think you are getting Vini mixed up with someone else, because he hardly ever gives the ball away even with 2 or 3 opposition players around him.

There's usually one bad give away every game in a bad area. Goes unpunished at this level, with strikers like Wells failing to capitalise

 

[JayGreen17]

Wilder won’t change it even though we’re clearly crying out for creativity, they’ll score then he’ll change it…. Will be Leeds all over again.

 

[Jan Age]

As much as I like burrows and I do really like him

He needs a rest as much as the others at times … trouble is we have nobody near his level to replace him

 

[Sheffsteel]

Just started watching the 2nd half and instantly Peck loses the ball, just keep it simple.

Ohhhhh that was lucky, great cross from the free kick.
Loads of our players and their players running into the box, a Bristol player gets a toe end on it and it just goes wide with the keeper having no chance.

peck isn’t quite there yet needs 6 months in L1

 

[JustLookin]

Just started watching the 2nd half and instantly Peck loses the ball, just keep it simple.

Then turn it off.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Another shit give away from Peck. Get him off now

Let's not wait till they score to strengthen with subs

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Just started watching the 2nd half and instantly Peck loses the ball.

He really has to be subbed now. Not his night unfortunately.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Brooks yes Rak-Sakyi are you kidding he’s the most aggressive attacking option we’ve got

Watch him closely when he has the ball and spot when he should release it or shoot and when he actually does. He over played it on his last assist and got lucky as he held on too long and ran into a wall. I'm not saying he's no good, but he could be better with quicker decision making. I'd play Rak-Sakyi over Brooks every day. Brooks has potential but that's it at the moment, just potential. In my opinion he's massively over rated.

 

[FriethBlade]

Giving it away too much in tje middle of the park

 

[71Blade]

Feel we overplay sometimes when i simple cross or pass we try to take another man on

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Making the right changes but very lucky they didn't just score there

 

[Sheffsteel]

Wilder won’t change it even though we’re clearly crying out for creativity, they’ll score then he’ll change it…. Will be Leeds all over again.

You're wrong. Wilder is making 3 changes as early as 55 minutes.

On comes Arblaster, Rak Sakyi and Moore
Off goes Peck, Brookes and Campbell.

We're much stronger now.

 

[1973Blade]

Another awful ref

 

[Chimpan-A]

Another awful ref

I called it earlier. A busy little arrogant twat. I’ve counted about 8 incorrect decisions.

 

[CornwallBlade]

peck isn’t quite there yet needs 6 months in L1

He needs to cut out the pub football flicks and tricks - not at this level son
