Sorry this is slightly late, just wanted to come on here and give a match review of how the game went on. First half was largely a non starter, best chance was when our keeper decided that he wanted to give Clarke a chance to add to his goal tally ( and he should have). But if anything you’s were the better team. Second half and Alex Neil had clearly bollocked the players and we could have gone 2 or 3 up very quickly. We did eventually score but couldn’t add another and for the last 15-20 you were the better side. Wilder brought Donaldson on and although he contributed little he forced us to be more defensive. Overall I think we were the better side and we’re good value for the three points.
Regarding your current injury rut, eventually you will be fine. I’m not sure if any of you are aware but we went through the injury crisis of all injury crisis’ earlier on in the season. We lost 11 players to injury including 7 defenders. We lost four of our five fixtures ( similar to yourselves)Two of our best players ( Cunningham and Maguire) are still out now. However when players returned to fitness we picked up and have won 4/5 now. When your players come back to full fitness, your results will inevitably pick up. Your current problem is that your second string midfield is nowhere near championship level, and you are trying to adjust the entire team to accommodate it. A fully fit Sheffield United team would not be on the run you are on. However, Wilder is an excellent manager. His attacking substitutions will pay off big style, our manager is similarly attacking opposed to Grayson and we have won many more points because of it. People need to realise that draws are almost useless in this league and Wilder’s constant attacking will keep you up the league and is what got you there in the first place. You only have to look down the road at your deluded neighbours to see how far defensive Football gets you in this league. You will finish somewhere between 5th and 10th which will be a tremendous achievement and above your rivals ( who won’t make the top half) when you consider the money they have spent that is a great achievement from you’s. Hopefully we can make the playoffs, as can you and we can get revenge for the last time we met.
