Match Thread Match Thread ...Sheffield United v. Coventry City - 25th February 2026

[JHaber]

The back 5 do let us down an awful lot. Granted the midfield leaves them exposed some games, but it feels like a lot of attacks this season turn to goals.

 

[Thrice]

Always look clueless defending. Just not good enough defensively to win consistently.

 

[utd4ever]

WILDER MASTERCLASS

score a goal and then concede

 

[Darren William]

Tanganga is an ok centre half but hes not a good one

To much inconsistency all season and maybe would of been the same if wilder had started the season.

Not wedding to xG but they scarcely have 0.5 xG and have scored twice.

This isn’t a resilient defensive team like last year.

The level of performance going forward should see us ahead.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Hes not a good one, he's an excellent one.

He's having a fucking mare tonight though.

Let's not start those silly games

 

[espoo blade]

So inconsistent...Hamer barely touched the lad there and ref blows up...an actual pull on Seriki and he can't give it

 

[CornwallBlade]

Davies for Soumare please

 

[CornwallBlade]

Seriki needs hooking too and Bamford, who has been great, looks done

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Just feels like we’re doomed to lose the moment we go behind, how many comeback wins have we have this season? 1?

 

[Innuendoandouttheother]

Real shame if we throw this one away. We looked at our very best in spells. Time for some subs.

 

[Champagneblade]

To much inconsistency all season and maybe would have been the same if wilder had started the season.

Ultimately probably good enough for top six.

But going to be a stretch to be good enough AND give everyone else a 6 game head start.

We’ve played well but we’ve failed to put the top teams to bed in key moments. Bamford misses a reasonable chance, we don’t get a good shout for a pen then we give two soft goals by not focusing.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

We have a habit of losing crunch games, last season cost us promotion by conceding 15 points to Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland plus the Wembley capitulation.
Wilder needs to sort this mentality issue.

 

[Headshrinker]

Yeah, that's the story of the season. The inability to turn good performances into three points, let alone one.

 

[Thrice]

Everytime a goalkeeper goes down like this it should be mandatory subbing off imo.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Yeah, that's the story of the season. The inability to turn good performances into three points, let alone one.

I don’t understand why there is any discussion of playoffs this season. Not only is it probably out of reach, I don’t want this lot anywhere near them given their inability to show any leadership/character when they’re up against it

 

[Designer Blade]

Tanganga it’s pretty average, made to look better when covering defending midfielder is good

 

[espoo blade]

Beyond a joke now

 

[biggey blade]

And if we wasn't to go up how many will we loose next season? And with no parachute payments can you see us making the signings to replace the players that might leave?

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Our crossing into the box second half has been poor.

 

[Æthelstan]

So many individual errors and an inability to play well for more than 45 minutes.

Very frustrating to watch.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Riedewald is real class. Hoever is not

 

[biggey blade]

Tanganga it’s pretty average, made to look better when covering defending midfielder is good

Tanganga is not average he is a very good solid defender and makes lots of last ditch tackles and blocks when he has no right to win the ball he has been exposed to a shit midfield most of the season and a shit CB pairing he can't do it all alone. He is the best signing by far we have made this season in my eyes.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

We’re just not clinical enough with our finishing. Seem to give away silly fouls, possession or make wrong decisions too often during the game

 

[WestYorksBlade]

And if we wasn't to go up how many will we loose next season? And with no parachute payments can you see us making the signings to replace the players that might leave?

yeah it’s almost like relying on promotions to the premier league to then get instantly relegated every three years isn’t the best business model

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Yet another game ruined by biased referees, should have been 2-0 vs 10 men. Never thought i'd want VAR but the standard of refereeing is the worst i've ever seen, might aswell just flip a coin

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

And if we wasn't to go up how many will we loose next season? And with no parachute payments can you see us making the signings to replace the players that might leave?

Might be a good thing. Get rid of the expensive core that have failed to deliver and go and find gems like JOC, Baldock, Fleck etc.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Well, thats our season done.

 

[Æthelstan]

We’re just not clinical enough with our finishing. Seem to give away silly fouls, possession or make wrong decisions too often during the game

The finishing is absolute torture to watch. It isn't a new problem, though.

 

[Champagneblade]

Riedewald is real class. Hoever is not

We’ve missed him.

Can’t help but feel that him being out has cost us as well.

Overall you start to add things up and it just means we’re not good enough, certainly not to overcome such a diabolical start.

The owners have to accept their idiocy of the summer in reading the situation has blown it. Totally unnecessary and hopefully they put their money in and own it.
