Didn’t deserve to lose that

[originaltrueblade]

well played BLADES

 

[hazzasufc_]

Yes we did

 

[davidblade]

Yes we did

Who cares

well played BLADES

Never sounded in trouble, well done Chris.

 

[Martin]

We have no quality up front

Bollocks - our quality was resting!

 

[mattbianco1]

Played well and were disciplined. A decent midfield could have made that a decent game

 

[PittsburghBlade]

We deserved to lose the game against a better team but doesn't mean we didn't have the chances to at least draw. There's the difference.

 

[GrayBlade]

PROUD of the lads tonight, we played very well and could easily have got a draw... although deep inside I’m happy enough we’ve come through it unscathed. UTB

 

[snootyfenooty]

Could have easily nicked something there with a more adventurous team selection. Wasted opportunity and I'll be another year older waiting for us to win this fucking competition.

 

[anstonblade]

From what I saw we did but we did ok. Passing a bit careless at times and there were spells each half for about 10 mins they seemed to go through us at will but I guess that should be expected. Big plus was how sharp Brooksy looked but as said earlier, we had nowt up front

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Considering the team we put out we did brilliantly.

Leicester just had more quality than us.

 

[Iceybabey]

Some good performances tonight. Thought Laffs did well and Lundstram first half. Defence and the keeper were solid. We need to get JOC tied down even more, absolute beast. Blackman man of the match, excellent handling. Baldock and Stevens could/should have scored but at least Baldock drew a good save. Wilson, fuck knows what happened to him. Overall, a good perormance as we defended well but also had chances. Brilliant to see Brooks back and looking well up for it. UTB.

Who cares

Not me particularly. We got hammered but didn't look out of our depth against a side that's spent £70 million this year alone. No moans from me here but we did deserve to lose in the end. If that's what the top 10 in the Premier League performs like I see no reason why we wouldn't stay up if we were to get promotion this season.

 

[Martin]

Whoever taktakover the needs to sit down with Chris wilder with an open cheque book and get the players needed for next season

 

[derfblade.3]

We could have drawn or won but we lost. If we had scored an equaliser ,a draw would have been won.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Great effort Blades, but deserved to win it ? not for me 2 efforts on goal against god knows how many from Leicester.
With the team they played and the team we played it was a terrific effort. Show that fighting spirit for the rest of the season and we will be pushing for the top 6.

 

[Seanshoreham]

Lets keep this in perspective - we were away to a good side who were champions a couple of years back and had many quality Premiership players

Well done Blades

 

[bertieblade]

Lundstram has his worse game in a Blades shirt, has to be firm in the tackle, cannot “nick”the ball and then has to be more consistent retaining possession and not misplacing passes.
brooks played well when he replaced Wilson who had one contribution

 

[davidblade]

We got hammered

Hammered?

 

[bramptonblade]

We have no quality up front

DERP!!!!!!

 

[Roygbiv]

If the first team had put in that performance I'd have been pleased. The fact it was essentially a 2nd string means the lads deserve great credit

Well done Blades

And 8th in the PL.

 

[Swannyblade]

Not good enough to have won it, not crap enough to be too upset about it.
Probably could have been a bit more adventurous in strategy and team selection, but that may have opened us up to the attacking pace of Leicester that we saw at the Lane in the League Cup.
But, as the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Got hammered but didn't look out of our depth....bit of a strange comment.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

No shame in that, not at all. And kept going right till the bitter end. Just like Wolves did though, they made it plain that they're a better side than us (hardly surprisingly).

Some bright spots in there. Thought Blackman was superb, central defenders rock-like, both wing-backs looked energetic & good at both ends of the pitch (Enda's curve's seriously on the up the last few games), & Brooksy looked lively & sharp. Away Blades sounded top class too.

Suspicious smell of pork

 

[hazzasufc_]

Hammered?

In terms of passing, possession, finishing, and overall quality of players, yes, we were hammered. I'm not complaining just stating a point. They're a good side and had most of their starting 11 on. No shame losing 1 nil to a multi million premier league outfit.

 

[diode_blade]

We had 6 players out through suspensions, being cuptied and injured, thought the lads played well, we have just played a team who made the premier league bigboys 2 seasons ago look like muppets and embarrassed all the premier league big wigs and their sponsors, they did not like that.

 

[metalblade]

A good effort considering the side we put out we had chances to get something out of that game just a pity the best chances fell to our wing backs. Still we can now go all out for a play off spot now UTB
