[Blade58]

None of the lads back

 

[b1ade4life]

Souza and Anel not even on bench...

2 of ty, vini, and anel will return to the starting 11 on boxing day

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

First thing the commentator said was that the Cardiff team is heavily depleted.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

2-1 defeat

According to you we will lose most weeks. How has that turned out for you?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Looks like the Cardiff fans are up for this game....not. half empty stadium

 

[Bobby b]

Come on boys! A draw is all we need to guarantee us Christmas no1, which has exceeded my pre season expectations

 

[Keen Blade]

Souza and Anel not even on bench...

So without :
Blaster , Souza , Anel , Seriki , Sachdev , Campbell , Shacks.
That's half a decent starting team.

Blaster & Sachdev out for season
But getting concerned about the other five.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Single match pass now available on SUTV - just bought one .

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Press is on again. But we are still slow with our build up, would like to see some more zip with our passing

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I've noticed we don't feed the ball to a midfield player who will dictate play a la Coutts. Needs addressing and why we don't dominate games

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Souttar and Moore in the box at a corner, play it short??? Not sure that is the game plan at a corner.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

We are so poor going forward, 25 minutes of passing between the defence and then they're just cutting straight through our midfield with the little ball they've had

 

[Keen Blade]

Weeds & Clarets winning , Mackems losing

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Better, moving up a gear.

 

[toledo]

We need to get Ran Sakyi more into the game …./

 

[Keen Blade]

I've noticed we don't feed the ball to a midfield player who will dictate play a la Coutts. Needs addressing and why we don't dominate games

Peck & Davies not yet up to Blaster & Souza standards , which we could mitigate by playing Hamer deeper but then we'd have to play Brooks or McCallum

 

[Keen Blade]

We need to get Ran Sakyi more into the game …./

Now then , I think I've heard that before

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Rak-Sakyi, Peck and Moore have all been really poor, we need some pace to run behind the defence but we only have Brewster on the bench

 

[Bobby b]

I think I'm watching a different game because I think we're playing well, we're patient and there's been a lot of good play and i think peck and Davies are having a good game

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Rak-Sakyi, Peck and Moore have all been really poor, we need some pace to run behind the defence but we only have Brewster on the bench

Louie Marsh worth a go

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I think I'm watching a different game because I think we're playing well, we're patient and there's been a lot of good play and i think peck and Davies are having a good game

It's not that we are playing bad or any players are having a bad game but we are playing with little pace and intensity to open up a piss poor outfit in Cardiff

 

[FriethBlade]

That didn't look nice

 

[FriethBlade]

It's not that we are playing bad or any players are having a bad game but we are playing with little pace and intensity to open up a piss poor outfit in Cardiff

Alex spot on....but that's how we've been playing for a few weeks now and we are getting results.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Also, once again we are keeping crap teams in a contest. We'll probably still win but we're making it look way to hard. I guess this squad is thinner than I thought

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Hamer is a very tiresome player to watch

Him and JRS need to start producing much more

OHare and Moore too for that matter

So the whole front line

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Sheffield United have conceded 3 first half goals in 2024-25.

The fewest of any team in England.

 

[FriethBlade]

Quick question when u have missed as much football as Davies has why would you wear shin pads the size of thimbles?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

You can see what they're hoping for. They kept 2 players up when we had a corner.

 

[goatherder]

I've noticed we don't feed the ball to a midfield player who will dictate play a la Coutts. Needs addressing and why we don't dominate games

We had 70% of possession in first half

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Sheffield United have conceded 3 first half goals in 2024-25.

The fewest of any team in England.

Hard to score when you put the opposition to sleep
