We've got to change formation. Chelsea playing exactly like Leicester, 2 wingbacks playing wide and high, it just kills our 3 5 2

Dream on. When was the last time we "changed formation" before we wer at least 2-0 down?
I doubt this team are motivated to do well. Wilder leaving has given them a free pass for the remainder of the season.

[Karlos]

Come on blades! We not out of this yet.

 

[Tonepone]

Normally Id agree, pal as he's one of my favourites but he's been poor and has made as many poor errors as anyone.
UTB

Maybe I'm being fooled as he's next to Enda who can't seem to make 2 yard passes or tackle, or win a header, or...

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Come on blades! We not out of this yet.

Just need to get the ball first

 

[jt64]

Why is Norwood still on the pitch?

 

[munksyb]

Why didn’t VAR look at that foul on Bogle in the area
It was a penalty

 

[Jan Age]

Most of these players need getting out of our club now.
They are basically uncoachable.
Big rebuild for whoever comes in.
rotten to the core.

 

[Drunk blade]

If only we had a £25m striker we could bring on

It really wasn’t

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Keown selective memory - “we gave them a goal back” TWAT

 

[Iceybabey]

Bogle's having a mare this half

 

[hull-Blade]

Lunny looking purposeful! Commentators words , not mine !

9th in the premier league last year

‘I think that’s what Sheffield United need to do, get the ball in the box’ cheers Martin

If only we had a £25m striker we could bring on

Ideally a young one with something to prove.
Still someone for the future, maybe?

 

[Jan Age]

9th in the premier league last year

Exactly —- which makes it even more alarming !

 

[munksyb]

The defender was slightly behind & put his leg across Bogle
Never got the ball
If that had Ben us it would have been given

 

[Tonepone]

Enda just bottled trying to hit that and completely left the ball

 

[BlairBlade]

9th in the premier league last year

That still perplexes me.

 

[hull-Blade]

Some decent footy there Blades , let’s have some more of that !

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Census finished, next..... potatoes need peeling for very large Shepherds Pie.

 

[Grumps]

Pretty sure you can move house with an injury.

Probably can,but if I did it and was off work I get sacked if someone spotted me

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Osborn continues to impress at LWB but the first one dropped when players return. For me he’s more in form than Stevens

 

[Tonepone]

Exactly —- which makes it even more alarming !

So their ability last year or any prior season is irrelevant but their performances this year are a completely accurate picture of them as players?

 

[Jan Age]

Census finished, next..... potatoes need peeling for very large Shepherds Pie.

I bet you put more crosses on that than we’ve put in the box all season

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Keep pressing, come on boys!

 

[Karlos]

Good last 5 or 10 mins , come on blades!

 

[Jan Age]

So their ability last year or any prior season is irrelevant but their performances this year are a completely accurate picture of them as players?

I would suggest post lockdown is more the frame of reference we should conisider.

And yes — based on what I’ve watched since March and for the entirety of this season it’s been terrible.

 

[BlairBlade]

Can we have a couple of youngsters on, please?
