[SUFCinks]

A shot, fuck me!

 

[essexblade73]

Will someone tell norman wisdom he can pass forwards please

 

[Karlos]

Would you believe it .we put a ball in the box and get a shot on target.need more.

 

[Chris the Blade]

That's Big Sam and Poch we've lost out on

 

[FredZeppelin]

Norwood pings a 30 yard pass to Bogle to get us going forward.....and he passes it 20 yards backward to Basham!
FFS!!! Arrrrrggghhhhh!

 

[drblade]

Why Bogle hasn’t started since Brighton is beyond me.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Bogle has had more shots on target than Baldock this season

 

[SLB]

So 31 minutes gone and not even had a shot...

Every single game this season commentators/pundits on Sky,BT, Amazon and radio stations have all said exactly the same thing. Sheffield United's build up play is so slow.
If every ex player in the land can see that and every Blade can see it then why can't CW/AK?
There can only be two possible reasons- either it's intentional and that's what they do in training or there is a serious fitness problem at the club.

 

[BlairBlade]

Why, oh why, do we have the ball in the last third and take it back deep into our half.
That is no way to score at their end.

 

[breeny]

The art of the first touch seems lost on quite a few of our players. It really is bizarre, the extreme drop off in ability for some of them.

Fleck actually looks to be putting more effort in... If I had to think of a positive...

Fleck moving pretty well

 

[Dutch Blade]

At least the last 5 minutes were kinda encouraging

 

[SUFCinks]

A tad naughty from bogle that

 

[BlairBlade]

Heart in mouth their Jadon.

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hello, Stegosaurus here,

Derby's record edging ever closer. Reckon we're gonna single-digit in this season. I actually think we'll be lucky to crack 5 points. In reality, we should be on 1 point.... it's only thanks to a dodgy penalty we got something at Fulham.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Bambi on ice looks more assured on his feet than Chris basham

 

[Swinton Blade]

That's Big Sam and Poch we've lost out on

No too bothered about missing out on Big Sam and never in a million years were we getting poch.

 

[Chris the Blade]

Fleck moving pretty well

I would hope so. He's supposed to be a professional athlete

Or they aren't good enough to do it any quicker...

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Enda Stevens has lost everything since March.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Not saying zaha isn’t a good player, but Jesus christ he acts like the world owes him something.

 

[SUFCinks]

Or they aren't good enough to do it any quicker...

Thats the problem with loads of champ/league 1 players. Limited ability.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Absolute fucking joke. FUCK OFF UNITED

 

[essexblade73]

Well....

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

No surprises with the scoreline so far.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

A goal in the 51st minute

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

You would hope a half time pep talk will help. Can't see it. We just look poor. Commitment is their, quality and decision making is not. I wish I had the answer. PS shit.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Every player out on that pitch can go next season for me that includes the management, let's forget going straight back up strip the club back and rebuild for the future

 

[essexblade73]

Norwood and Ampadu there ought to be ashamed of themselves

 

[SUFCinks]

Wow so easy for eze, shocking defending

 

[FriethBlade]

Now that is a footballer and we spent the same kind of money on McBurnie and Brewster
