MATCH DAY THREAD: Barnsley v The Mighty Blades

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Growing into ut, great move nearly saw lunny pull off a great goal.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Think we can all agree Lundstram is right footed

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Bugger

 

[niktheblade]

Absolute rubbish so far....

 

[HydeParkBlade]

If we haven't learned to close people down around the edge of the box by now then we never will.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Yep...but that all came from our attack and the young lad giving it away (which he's done every time he's had ball again).

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Loosing midfield to Barnsley !!?

 

[shrubbery]

Yet again we get punished for not taking guilt edged chances. How the hell Lunny missed that - was easier to score!

Brooks completely ineffective and had lost the ball every time he has been given it (including for their goal).

Think we have passed it around nicely but we have serious problems in the last third.

 

[Guesty]

If we haven't learned to close people down around the edge of the box by now then we never will.

It pisses me right off. You always hear about how they're unstoppable, but why do we concede so many more than anyone else? Because, contrary to popular opinion on here, you CAN defend against shots from distance, it's just that we don't.

 

[Lawrence]

One of the worst starts we've had this year. Passing shocking, should be 1 down already...

Hope they wake up soon.

Can someone tell me why on Tuesday the passing was quick and snappy, movement was great and yet today Passing is slow and laboured, movement is poor ( Clark’s looks like he is still in bed) We are second best to a team who want it!

 

[Iceybabey]

This is shite

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

These are well up for it that's for sure and on this basis, it's hard to understand how they're in the relegation zone. Moncur and Moore causing us problems.

 

[shrubbery]

We just don’t want it enough and the quality just isn’t there today. So many misplaced passes and miscontrols. The ball is bouncing off Clarke twice as far as the pass travells to get to him in the first place!

 

[Iceybabey]

That change tactical or is he injured?

 

[Geordie Blade]

These are well up for it that's for sure and on this basis, it's hard to understand how they're in the relegation zone. Moncur and Moore causing us problems.

When we are “up for it” against stronger teams like Villa, Cardiff and Wolves, they tend to weather the storm and then punish us clinically as soon as they get a chance. Hopefully we’ll do the same here.

 

[thehet]

Atrocious so far. If Evans was dragged off for his performance then rightly so.

 

[shrubbery]

Another good chance goes begging. Not sure how Sharp didn’t get that over the line.

 

[shrubbery]

Need to get Brooks off and replaced with Duffy.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

We need to be clinical twice at least and on current form it’s not going to happen - hope I’m wrong.

 

[JayGreen17]

Our decision making is just terrible at times, the quality just isn’t there, our corners all season have been dire too.

First goal was critical here, can’t see us scorin. We cannot make the pressure count or find a quick killer pass.

 

[shrubbery]

Get the feeling that Wilder might burst a blood vessel at half time

 

[thehet]

Never seen so many wasteful passes. Either over hit, out of play or too short. Even with a rocket at HT I can't see us getting a thing.

 

[shrubbery]

That change tactical or is he injured?

Tactical. He ripped his pads off whilst exiting the pitch. Could of taken any of them off really. Shocking.

 

[Weasel]

Blimey that was bad. Utter bollox that Utd. They look a hard working side but lacking in quality. Utd today have looked like a feckless side who are lacking quality.

We have constantly given the ball away and everything looks like an effort to us. A can't really remember us creating that much either. They need a massive kick up the arse at half time. Not good enough so far today Blades.

 

[Weasel]

Tactical. He ripped his pads off whilst exiting the pitch. Could of taken any of them off really. Shocking.

Evans constantly gave the ball away before he got the hook, Lundstram is being so sloooooowww again with his decision making, and Fleck has not been in it. Collectively those three in the engine room have been piss poor. They need to pull their fingers out.

 

[Blade58]

Powder puff

Lacking ideas

Lacking guile and endeavour

Difficult to believe we are pushing for the play-offs and the thing that makes it even more annoying is that Barnsley look like a bottom 6 side and yet we seem incapable at the minute of hurting them

I hope Wilder wakes the feckers up during the break cos they look half asleep

 

[ekke287]

It's another game where we're making a poor side look good. They're there for the taken but we're not even pressing. We need to hit them hard straight from the off second half.

 

[FredZeppelin]

The only good side to this is we'd struggle to play as bad or worse in the second half. If we can get an early goal we could go on and win comfortably.
Clarke's touch in that half was useless and Brooks isn't in the game as there is no space for him to run in to.
We have to improve the passing game right from minute 1.
Still there but we need a 45-minute performance full of character.
Come on boys!
UTB

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Dingles have raised their game whilst our lads are having a pre season friendly.
Hope Chris can motivate the little fuckers.

 

[Lawrence]

That change tactical or is he injured?

Hope it was tactically... for me Evans is average, Sick of hearing how good he is, misplaced passes, getting caught in possession and loosing the ball in dangerous parts of the pitch... then every now and again a nice pass and he’s the greatest midfield! not good enough.
