Agree. In a carbon copy of Nick Montgomery, Ben Osborn is a classic “leveller” player.

If we play against a better side (e.g. your Man Citys), you can rely on him to put in some graft, stick to the task, and possibly man-mark one of their star players out of the game, essentially bringing us ever so slightly closer to parity with them.

On the other hand, if we play against a ‘lesser’ team (your Rotherhams, with little due respect), you can absolutely bank on Montgomery/Osborn to lower themselves to the same level as the opposition, turning the game into a scrappy 50-50 give away possession affair.

It’s utterly baffling how Osborn gets selected for this type of game when nous and creativity is clearly the immediate requirement.

In not one, of any of the aspects, of being a footballer, is Osborn the equal of Montgomery.
 

I can’t argue with the points haul & our ability to get results but it’s chalk & cheese between the performances of this side at present & the one that got promoted 3 years ago in what I believe what was a lot stronger division .
I know ultimately it’s points that get you promoted but the performances since the restart are nowhere near the level where we were at early season .
I know injuries have played a part of which I’ve never known a 12 months like it !
I’m not sure if it’s the constant chopping or changing or us adopting are more defensive approach but we are lacking cohesion & creativity.
We looked very lopsided attacking wise with most going down the right flank with Bogle just having one of those days .
The midfield were ponderous & im sorry Osborn .. yes hard worker but offers zero creatively .
As soon as McBurnie went off any presence up top or ability to hold the ball up went with it . I still think we look light in attacking options but that ships sailed now with all the shenanigans around the transfer window .
Hope we can get Brewster & RND back in the not too distant future

Absolutely correct in every respect.
Osborn has to go this summer.
Billy must retire before sliding into disrepute.
McBurnie should have stayed on.
Whole team needs a massive kick up the arse , of which Hecky is probably incapable.
We look complacent yet desperate , which is a bad combination.
Instead of approaching the run-in with the attitude of "let's get our work done" , we seem to be "half-baked".
People keep saying "it's an away point which is ok if we win our home games".
Play like that and home advantage will mean nothing in the next 3.
People are saying "don't worry the gap is big enough" but , promoted or not , do we actually want to go to the end of the season playing in such fashion ?

I think that there are only a few who think that this team is good enough for the Premier League, whereas most were pretty confident with Wilder’s team and the defined style that we had. We are about 5 players short, if I’m being generous.
 
Agree with all remarks and comments (as per) but overall thought we played well. Rotherham difficult place to go every time. But of the 2 teams we were pretty much superior in every department. Yes a bit toothless but far classier. Draws on the road and wins at home will take us over the line. The team by no means world beaters but they have a knack of getting results- can’t under estimate that as a characteristic.
 
The long ball is a lazy cop out and we are using it far too often. Unfortunately McB's return just exacerbates the situation.

No one thinks we are good enough for the Premier League but with 5 astute buys of about 10 million each rather than the dross we spent 120 million on before. The hope is that with this management team which has shown they can build a team to grind out results. You never know just might stay up. The thought of watching Ndiaye on Match Of The Day - mouthwatering prospect.
 
Fans didn’t turn up, atmosphere was dreadful. Got to get these lads over the line, let’s get the lane rocking vs Swansea and get rid of this nervous energy we’ve all of a sudden got

"Billy must retire before sliding into disrepute"

Seriously? He'd fall into disrepute after one poor season, considering what he has given to us over the last seven?

Another disappointing outcome. United continue to make fucking hard work of easy tasks. Rotherham are truly no great shakes are they? I don't think we've actually played a team yet who have truly outclassed us but we've played a lot who have been allowed by us to make Sheffield United question why they are so many points ahead and looking like automatic anointment to the big time. Okay, again we didn't lose but like many games this season it still didn't reinforce my faith and if anything justifies where our weak areas are for next season. We won't get away with how we play games if we play like we did today and Hecky and his team have a hell of a job hucking out the shite and persuading the new owners what to buy to replace them and provide strength in depth just to finish out of the relegation zone. Rotherham aren't anywhere near the Premier League yet made us look distinctly ordinary and its that propensity for poor sides to make us look equally poor which worries me.

First half we start as we always do straight at them but as we always do (again) we fail to deliver punch after punch after punch which actually lands and puts the opponents against the ropes. True to form Rotherham looked fairly comfortable going in at 0-0 and emerged with a 'just do what you did in the first half' brief in their ears because as we've seen, Hecky is rubbish at change let alone making an early (and crucially the correct) substitution. The midfield today, although showing a slightly improving Berge, failed to take the ball up the middle and we relied too much on pointless, aimless and hopeful punts up the park to the front two who were being mauled under the nose of a shit referee. I have no idea why we don't run forward five yards, five more, lay left, run into space, receive, thread a pass and just keep it on the deck for a change.. It's what the midfield are for and its what chances generally come from. Our midfield has looked like a fucking 1.0 Morris Ital engine dropped into a fucking Sierra Cosworth shell. And other players also didn't pull their weight throughout todays game or failed to make good of the chances we had to come away with three points rather than a meagre one. Discounting the Deadpool Cup Tie (which we have to win if only to give us the chance of going out versus Harry Kane's Spurs FC plc) we have Swansea next week who will make sure we pay for our timid, light-touch output if we let them. And we'll let them, believe me.

Foderingham 6/10: Distribution a bit pish at times. Two good saves and in the right place for some of their attempts on goal
Bogle 4/10: Thought he had a poor game where it seemed his confidence and concentration looked suspect
Anel 4/10: No idea what has happened to him. Since coming back he's looked fragile, uncomposed and not willing to be that vanguard at the back and moving through into attack. As much as Basham is now 58 years old, it might be a good idea to bench Anel for a few games to work on him and restore that spark we know he has
Egan 6.5/10: As ever, marshalled the central of the back three and put a decent, if unremarkable shift. Hugill was a problem for him though
JLT 7/10: Almost Morgan-like in his duties. Committed, no-fucks-given and focussed
Lowe 6/10: Quiet game for him but did his job both high up the pitch and tracking back to defend despite being shirt handed over that side
Berge 6.5/10: A better game for him, if not wholly complete. Actually won headers, got into space and got involved, if with not much to show for it
Norwood 6.5/10: Seemed to be the only midfielder propping things up at times and wasn't unguilty of hoofing it again many times into nowhere
Osborn 3/10: Really dismal. Usual 'big effort' stuff but the footballing output was piss-poor. How he gets the nod over McAtee is a fucking mystery. In May, up or not, he needs to be moved on. I was always suspicious of Wilder buying him in the first place and over a few seasons has never delivered much beyond one-wipe bobbar and a dry trump for me.
NDaiye 6.5/10: As with most games, when we can't get our midfield firing on all three cylinders, it's the drivetrain that ends up struggling and NDaiye needs chances. He did dig out his own but they were scrappy half scuffs and times where he tried at least to take most of their team on.
McBurnie 7/10: Thought he had a decent game to be honest if a small part shithousy but in defence, their defence itself leant on him. Like NDaiye, he's starved of crosses (hang your fucking head in shame Osborn) or threaded balls to put him in. Give him that and we win the game.

McAtee 5/10: gave us a lot more than Osborn. Then again, if I came on at sixty years old now and a fair few stone overweight and unfit as fuck I think I'd do more than the Hecky's Hobbit. At least McAtee kept the ball on the deck and ran at them a bit rather than invite the fans to collectively yell 'Fuck's sake!' on shoutbox, on the terraces, in their living rooms or sat on the shithouse on a stream.
Sharp 4/10: No idea why we took McBurnie off. Sharp gave us fuck all. Hecky - this isn't the last game of the season in Sharp's testimonial year. We need McBurnie on to at least look like we'll score.

HJ&SMcC 5/10: We didn't win, we didn't lose but we did draw. Note the 'but' there. Although Burnleh are hiome and hosed now and Company can effectively send his first team on holiday right now, we are eventually going to start losing matches. And we know what we are like after that, don't we? We seem to be coasting nervously now rather than coasting with confidence. Rotherham should have been a game we come away as 2-0 winners but given the amount of wated effort doing fuck all and the chances we spurned, we need to start stronger against Swansea and kill them off in the first half and not tolerate going on the defence at any time in the game. We need to keep opposition teams moving and guessing rather than knowing we play it to the wingbacks. We need also to be hitting it from distance and testing keepers. When was the last time we scored a worldie?

Good voice from our fans today in a meagre crowd. Although I didn't pay for SUTV also, the club needs to hold those fuckers to account regarding the reliability of their output too.

Sum it up we ain’t really that good are we and if we go up God help us
 

Good assessment as always Pompey. what is your view we play most of the playoff contenders at Bramall Lane is promotion ours to lose?

100% default substitution every time is Sharp. The young striker on the bench, Marsh, is the one brave managers make. He would surely havee bust a gut to get on the scoresheet

I get why he does especially with Jebbo out but it goes to show why it's wasn't a great JTW as we was desperate for more attacking options

As usual, spot on dude.
We were far too pedestrian first half and utterly shocking in wasting so many chances!
Oh if we could have brought in a striker last month rather than having to rely on poor owd Billy.
 
I'm going to court controversy as I thought we were excellent up until the edge of their box. Dominated the game, never looked like losing but lacked that spark in the final 3rd...

I'll let all the bed-wetters and Osborn Haters (I thought he did ok, McAtee did better but he can't start every game at his age) work themselves in to a frothing frenzy.

Can't believe all the hand wringing and angst...

Absolutely bang on here. Osborn shouldn't be selected when you're to create against a team like Rotherham. Also really disappointed with Anel and Bogle. Hopefully we'll pick it up
 
Good read as always too many Bang average performances today shocking crosses too many lofted instead of whipped in. Only positive we didn't lose.. it's not been good to watch recently but that's dem blades why can't we do what Burnley are doing ripping up the league. I think we could get caught by Boro hope not but wouldn't surprise me ...UTB

Fair read Portsmouth

Before the game i thought we could coast playing poorly and nicking 1-0 to automatics

Now im not so sure of that the boro macth in a week or so is huge it could be the automatic crowning or the start of the wheels coming off IMO

There was no way we could carry on playing dysmally and winning its about time these players and manager got a rod as they have been poor for a long time

Ben Osborne. Lovely lad, never ever fault his effort but he’s Nick Montgomery without his skill No detriment whatsoever. I loved Nick and Ben,

I think that there are only a few who think that this team is good enough for the Premier League, whereas most were pretty confident with Wilder’s team and the defined style that we had. We are about 5 players short, if I’m being generous.
