[Flumps]

So very little to say. The goal was deflected but it was our fuck up in the first place.

Just really poor from us. QPR could be many more up.

 

[toledo]

What’s going on tonight …. Except for first few mins, this is just about the worst I’ve seen this season

 

[RWE]

I’d rather have Jack Robinson play than Egan. I’ve not seen Egan have a decent game in two years. And if the rumour is correct that West Ham are offering £12 million?? Snatch their hands off time.

Said this for ages, that back 3 at Blackpool was the best for me. How many times does Egan make a mistake, whether it’s shit passing or a simple ball over the top. If we were to be promoted he’d be one of the first I’d look at an upgrade on.

Edit: Also has anyone got any idea what that stupid passing from a goal kick between Egan and Foderingham is about. See it every game and I swear it gets us into more trouble than not

 

[United Aren't Back.]

If we’re being honest, we’ve only put in about 4 or 5 complete performances all season.

Most in pummelling three league leaders and getting 12 goals.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Their game plan is working well for them,we look like the team that has not won a game in 9.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Horrific display can’t say I am surprised as we only turn up for 30 minutes a game usually

Get jebberdeson on for the scarecrow up front at half time

Macatee on aswell

Bogle for George Cantcrossaballdok

He won’t though he will wait till the 70th minute because he hasn’t brought his Asthma spray

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Tight game against an awkward side on a horrible bobbly pitch.
Just the sort of game you wouldn’t want to stupidly gift anything to the opposition…

 

[JackSUFC]

Completely bossed all over the pitch there. Can’t remember the last time Norwood was that non-existent.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Ive turned the sound OFF.

 

[Keen Blade]

I think it was Rovrum at home the last time we went behind and Hecky was clueless how to turn that around - I don't rate his in-game management - I doubt he has a clue what to do at HT - I pray he has but I doubt it

 

[Bell4]

It was inevitable we were due a shite performance at some point after the run we've been on... Obviously hope we can turn it around..

That is the kindest post I will ever read

We have been atrocious

 

[Rufus Smalls]

McAtee on second half ….. surely ?

 

[robbiez666]

Terrible. Norwood and Anel have been good, the rest poor.

Problem is, nothing upfront. Sharp looking his age so no outball for defenders. Just lobbing hopeful balls forward.

We pressed for 2 minutes and it went to Berge's player and he just ambled towards him. Doyle and Berge have been poor.

Egan and Clark struggling to find someone to pass to

 

[Blacksea]

 Put the Benny Hill music on in the background and it all makes sense.

 

[BettingBlade]

Most in pummelling three league leaders and getting 12 goals.

Yep. Even the Burnley game we gave stupid goals away.

 

[ancientblade]

could be a huge wake up call this game tonight posters on here saying the current squad without any new additions can finish top 2 are mistaken we need 2 new players a midfielder and definetly another striker to come in this month if that happens we will finish top 2 if not i fear it might only be play offs

 

[Davalon]

Lack of options up top is a concern.

No out ball and we can't expect Billy to run the channels like he used to.

Jebbison not ready for the physical battle.

OMcB and Brewster out seriously limits our options.

 

[SUFCinks]

So bad that half. This is exactly the type of shite performances week in week out that we have been building towards. We can barely string 2 passes together before we just clear it and hope.

Our style of football recently has been so poor. I say it week in week out but we don’t show enough composure in possession. Lower league 80s style hoof. If we manage to get promoted somehow then this ‘style’ in the prem will get us single figures and we’ll get laughed out the league.

Hecky needs to sort it out ASAP. It’s not good enough considering our squad.

We’ve played like this in games since the world cup and even before then….we’ve just got away with it.

Jebbison not ready for a physical battle ?


There is no way of anyone knowing that as he has not been given a chance

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

We are notoriously slow starters but seemed to be fast out the traps tonight, up until that calamitous error that is. Since then we have lost our composure and allowed Vanilla Rangers to boss the game.

Come on Blades!

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

If jebbison doesn’t get a chance now when does he get a chance ever ?

 

[Mad Mick]

Can't win a second ball to save our lives. Shocking. These had scored 1 goal in 9 games and we make them look like Brazil.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Half-time 1-0 to QPR
QPR just shading the 1st half but very few chances created and neither keeper having much to do.
Could argue it should be 0-0 at half-time as their goal was a very fortunate big deflection. Another blunder from Egan, he does lose us goals.

The things that are pi$$ing me off are
1: Again we're losing midfield, how come the opposition always seem to have more possession and look more composed?
2: We look very casual as though we still expect to win....there's no urgency what so ever....the team looks flat and unmotivated.

The only positive and I've mentioned this before
We have some high quality players and they can even be playing poorly but they only need to click for 5 minutes and
we then become capable of scoring and there's little the opposition can do about it.

 

[jono_t2000]

We’ve played like this in games since the world cup and even before then….we’ve just got away with it.

Dare I say it we've played like this since Sharp came back into the team... Sure hes scored a couple but hes a striker it's what he's meant to do..

But for 80 mins of a game he's ineffectual AF

 

[Panini]

Easier said than done if you've got Father Christmas at centre-half

 

[Ndlovu's Glove]

The lack of press in midfield is bizarre, surely that's one of the reasons for selecting Doyle over McAtee.

Berge off, completely invisible - just don't wait until late in the game PH.

We're making a really poor QPR side look competent, what a pair of strange results if they take 6 points off us.

 

[sufcboy95]

Norwood aside, that was terrible from front to back.

If Hecky insists on playing Berge he needs to play as a number 10 not as a midfielder, because he ain’t one.
Sharp offers nothing up top.
McAtee on for Sharp
Bogle on for Baldock

 

[LS5 Blade]

Dare I say it we've played like this since Sharp came back into the team... Sure hes scored a couple but hes a striker it's what he's meant to do..

It's not his fault that we keep lumping it up to him, and it's also not his fault he is getting on as well, but I agree with you 100% on the performances have dropped significantly since he got his place back.

 

[Mad Mick]

Yes, Norwood did OK.
