Pre-Season 2024/25 Rotherham United 1 - 2 Sheffield United - 27th July 2024

Souza’s a prick but could dominate at championship level

 

[AWetFlannel]

Souzas on fire

Should be starting for Brazil

 

[Blade58]

Souzas found his level
Lge 1 oppo

PS done ok

 

[jono_t2000]

Souza even before the goal seemed really up for it today.

Hamer oozes technical quality and good link up couple times with ohare.

Only nagging question is Moore still yet to score...

 

[bakeblade]

Typical Blade, always looking on the bright side.

Hardbitten

 

[Greg.]

Some of the Hamer and O'Hare link ups have been great

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Some lovely one touch passing. Get the shooting/ heading cobwebs knocked off and we could see alot of goals this season. We've not really been under a long period of pressure so not sure how this formation will cope defensively this season. Wilder has to be happy with things, Shackleton the only downside.

 

[Vikkster]

Just realised, is it Beagrie on co comms?

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Generally good performance so far. McCallum looks class. Moore reminded me of Didsy with his first shot! O'Hare and Hamer together look quality. Souza, to his credit, is working hard and doing well. Seriki needs to be more confident, he's holding onto the ball for too long and taking too much extra touches when he's in space under no pressure. The first 20 mins was a little bit Southgate ball, with a lot of back passes, but the overall play has been good and snappy.

The attacks were always going to struggle as we end up with 2 versus 5. Hamer or Arblaster could do with pushing forward more to help drag players out of position to give Moore and O'Hare space to exploit.

Fingers crossed that Shackleton isn't injured too bad or we're right back to square again.

Souza is good a will dominate the Championship.

 

[Mad Mick]

Hamer played well. Very impressive as it's his first start I think for a bit.

 

[bakeblade]

Looks like a bang rather than a twist so fingers crossed

Looked fairly innocuous, so hopefully he'll be OK. Saying that he did look upset

 

[Addison]

Better standard of opposition big and awkward. We still are weak in the air at CB losing headers, nearly cost us from a corner. Very slick first time passing Hamer and Ohare linking up well. Moore hit post from an excellent Brooks cross. Souza busy linking up play and scores with a header from a corner, a Blades rareity.

Only down side innocuous tackle and Shackleton is off injured.

 

[Wards]

Duffield

 

[ATL Recs]

Looks a bad was as well. Guy's nearly in tears.

Hence why Leeds offered him a reduced shorter term contract - does this club ever learn

 

[Hackey Blade]

Whos the two SUTV commentators?

Some of the Hamer and O'Hare link ups have been great

apart from his dodgy tackle Blaster been really good played some excellent through balls this kid got a great future in the game.

Bad miss that from big Keef, he's played well though looks a handful against a big side

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Shackleton has started sharply

He was looking really good and has done in other matches , so it was a great pity to see him get injured .

At the same time , it was encouraging to see that we could replace him with a player of Seriki’s quality who has also been very impressive in the pre season matches .

 

[AWetFlannel]

Leeds offered him a reduced, shorter contract in case he got kicked? That could happen to any player.

Peter Duffield, an old Basset player. Good player too, had to sit because of these 2 strikers called Deane and Agana were slightly better.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

David Brooks on the right linking up and rotating with O’Hare and Hamer would be absolute filth to watch in the championship

 

[Stretch]

I think we definitely need another experienced goalscorer. We can't be relying on Osula and Brewster if Moore isn't firing this season.

 

[Dnblade]

Souza and Hamer stood out for me...decent first half,unlucky for Shackleton..Dozell on for Blaster now.

 

[Vikkster]

Duffield

Thank you

“Absolute filth “ have a like for the phrase of the day sir

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Souza is good a will dominate the Championship.

Based on what evidence is he 'good'? He has been mostly garbage for us and should be moved on.

 

[SwissBlade]

Should be starting for Brazil

If only he had the players around him

 

[Irv]

What the fuck? The lad gets injured and you post this- get a grip mate

 

[Blade58]

Souza is good a will dominate the Championship.

If he’s here?
Wilder’s not so sure in his interview other night?

 

[71Blade]

Fair comment on the Comms lost 2 defensive headers too easily there, appreciate it's a pre season game but you would expect more crosses into the box in the championship
