[AnstonBlade1]

We’re weak as piss in the middle and at the back. Sharp and Didzy are done at this level they should never be in the same team.

 

[Nah den]

That is nothing short of unprofessional.

 

[Iceybabey]

Poor poor poor goals to concede.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Fuming. I know we haven't played much and I'd have taken a point pre-game, but that's embarrassingly unprofessional.

 

[BettingBlade]

Absolutely fucking spineless each and every single one of them

 

[007]

To lose a 2 goal lead against a side with 10 men is frankly not good enough

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

How Billy Sharp plays 90 minutes every single game contributing nothing but the odd penalty is beyond me

 

[Hull Blade]

Oh well, who said two-nil was a dodgy score?
Diddy Dave getting some humpty from Asaba.

 

[JoeG]

Honestly I’m sick to the fucking stomach of this group of players. Spineless bottlejobs

 

[Bell4]

If PH is the answer the question must be…

Who’s the best yes man we can get so we can run the club in to the ground?

Not heckys fault ffs

 

[bartman]

Well that was joke second half performance

Bogle poor defensively for the 1st. Hopefully Baldock back at the weekend.Didzy at fault for the second.need Davies back. Amazed Illiman taken off.
They should have been out of sight before their first goal. Defence a major issue.

 

[McGoaldrick]

Still slav’s fault or are we gonna blame the players yet? Thanks

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Our defence wants lining up against a wall and shooting.

Central midfield coasting who can't put a tackle in.

Average first team. Shocking squad depth.

Well done the Club. Well done His Royal Cowardlyeness. Well done Chris Wilder.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Done with this season now. Can fuck off.

 

[essyoueffsee]

Sharp will always be a Blades legend. He should not be playing 90 minutes for us anymore.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

We’re fucked, every team knows just to keep going at us and eventually it’ll come, we’ll usually gift em one at some point in the 90. The losing mentality and lack of confidence after last season is still in these players.

If this isn’t a wake up call whilst we are still in Jan transfer window I don’t what is. Noticeable how pedestrian some of our play is so that passes are intercepted and straight at us in counter attack down spine of team.
Also shows how much MGW has influenced recent good results and how it’s gone without him

 

[London based Blade]

I’d take 2.5k and a pile of superman comics for Berge now….

 

[shrubbery]

Did we actually have a shot on target after they went down to 10 men?

The defence is pub league standard and the midfield does not impose themselves on the game no matter who plays.

How the fuck Billy can stay on for 95 mins when he offered absolutely nothing all game from open play.

So many players that are absolute gash. How the fuck have we ended up like this with the money we’ve spent?

 

[derfblade.3]

Brewster was busy and keeping the Preston defence on it's toes so he gets dragged off. Blame the manager.

 

[drblade]

Brewster should have taken his chance

 

[JackSUFC]

No point even getting pissed off by this lot anymore. Nothing they serve up surprises me.

£23.5m Rhian Brewster though. Cannot defend those missed chances. Second one especially. Horrendous.

 

[Jan Age]

Not heckys fault ffs

I disagree … you win and lose together…unfortunately he’s a serial loser

 

[Medlock]

Amateurish.
Brewster never gets his head up
Foderingham fails to cut a routine cross out.
Bank of 5 Defenders get the run around by a team a man short.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

This club is a fucking circus, I'm so sick and tired of watching these same spineless twats every single week because we can't fuck them off. Club is in dire need of an actual rebuild yet in true Sheffield United fashion we've managed to spunk every penny of Premier league money rather than use it to fire us back up. A total embarrassment, and everyone involved should be ashamed tonight, yet I unfortunately feel like too many of them will barely give a shit if their performances are any indicator

 

[247Blade]

Usual laid down and died .... we need better recruitment!!

 

[FinBlade]

United looked like totally different team on each halfs.
There was many good personal performances from our players that no one will remember nor care after the result.

To be fair, if team concedes 2 goals in 45 mins on 11 vs 10 - that team doesn't deserve to win. Tonight it was us..
Commentators on SUTV were on spot while pointing out that "United has lost so many games on late goals this season".

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Played some good football in spells tonight and created loads of chances. Overall we were decent going forward.

Our defending has been a huge problem since JOC’s injury.

 

[Bell4]

How Billy Sharp plays 90 minutes every single game contributing nothing but the odd penalty is beyond me

Billy was and has been very very poor - and I’m a big fan

 

[bakeblade]

Still slav’s fault or are we gonna blame the players yet? Thanks

I'm putting the blame on Brewster, 2 easy chances to finish them off and the useless twat misses both

 

[St Albans Blade]

Could Hecky become the first Blades’ manager to be in charge of the club when relegated from the top and second tiers of English football?

Or has it been done before?
