Match Thread Sheffield United v. Cardiff City - 9th January 2024

[ATL Recs]

Looks like the injuries have done for him

He wasn’t that good before jeez he had a golden month upto Coventry remember him being clueless especially Norwich at home that season

 

[SwissBlade]

Can we sign Ashford? Looks miles ahead of our youngsters

Not at half time, wouldn’t get it done for the second half

 

[Half Bond Jls]

If this Welsh tart calls us Sheffield one more time I swear I'm going to just sit here and listen to her call us Sheffield

 

[MayorOJC]

Americans out

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Freezing their tits off.

 

[The Crab]

Alreyt oinker, now fck off back to porktalk

I wondered why I’d got this doughnut on ignore

 

[Addison]

Its a scratch team but so is theirs. Error ridden first half, passing slow and inaccurate. Poor mistake from RND but they have oceans of room down our left. We need to get rid of the obsession with inverted wingers and play Brooks and Brewster down their natural sides of the field. Struggling to break down a back 5.

As for Brewster he's having a mare must have given the ball away half a dozen times allowing them to break quickly. Hope now I've written that he proves me wrong second half. Really hope the manager doesn't bring on anymore first team players to try and get a result as the last thing we need is extra time. Baptiste and Blacker have done well so far on their debuts. Burrows needs to come off as he's running on fresh air.

 

[Maltby_blade]

Just shows how lacking we arc in squad depth

Everyone knows the squad is thin, Wilder has even made that clear in press conferences, hence why he’s trying to bring players in.

 

[Fatlad666]

Full strength ha ha ha. There isn’t much difference with this team and our main team.
Same shite. Poor touches, sideways passing, on to the wing, cross it in and nothing.

Whole set up is shit.

W️

 

[CornwallBlade]

One thing for me is that this team confirms what we suspected. Wilder clearly doesn’t want players attacking the box. Time and again we get into position to play people in down the flanks or to attack the box but we stop and recycle. It has been the same all season - bizarre

 

[Grizzly blade]

That might be good for RND because his defending since his injury has been dreadful.

Well. Hate to say it again but there we go.
That wasn’t just a mistake it was amateur, pub level.
RND passing atrocious.
And after the goal many more started doing the same.
But for a winger Brooks rarely beats a man.
Marsh has the decision making of a junior, nowhere near but at least he hits the target which is more than can be said for some of RB’s efforts.
McC looked decent to start with but then he also loses the ball far too much.

Conclusions-
RND- done. He’s heading down the leagues
mcC- midfielder only.
Brooks- still not convinced
Marsh- needs games in men’s footy somewhere asap.
Brewster- will be getting released, no signs of him coming good still.
Baptiste- an athlete and has promise, another who needs games and experience.
One- another who needs regular footy.

So we need 4 players minimum before the end of this window as most of these aren’t ready for the first team of a team aiming for the premier league

 

[bakeblade]

The only positive is Burrows is playing well in midfield, moving the ball round nicely

True, he's the only one coming out with any credit. Rest have been shite

 

[The Crab]

Half time, Welsh bird on bbc keeps calling us Sheffield (4 times) and Cardiff, Cardiff City… two long time former blades and captains beside her in Page and Jags and neither bothered to correct her that were Sheffield United

So does bromby on radio Sheffield

 

[Half Bond Jls]

3rd in league but drop points when we come up to quality sides. The Championship is awful from 6 place to the bottom.

Lucky man is Wilder but luck don’t last forever.

Worse Championship ever because Wednesday aren't competing at the top? Change the record pal.

 

[metalblade]

Don't think RND has a future here

 

[utd4ever]

What you on about. Whats Wednesday got to with it.

 

[straight_outta_compton]

One looked decent, without achieving a lot.

I like marsh but he needs regular footy to build.

Brooks needs a rocket up his *arse! Too sloppy

Hoping we can sneak an equaliser!!!

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Don't get me started on Brewster. He's not got a footballing brain. His positional sense is awful

 

[fifty shades of blade]

What you on about. Whats Wednesday got to with it.

Grunt grunt

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Rnd off injured

Hoping blood and guts from Robinson might spice up our tempo...

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Brewster attempted to put the armband on Jack Robinsons arm but missed.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Don't get me started on Brewster. He's not got a footballing brain. His positional sense is awful

He’s checked out and is doing a Lundstram.

 

[bakeblade]

He’s checked out and is doing a Lundstram.

Not really, he's just crap

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Are we playing 4 2 3 1? Some players seem allover

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Wilder will be happy to quietly lose this 0-1.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Wilder will be happy to quietly lose this 0-1.

Think a few of us will be too tbh

 

[utd4ever]

Grunt grunt

Oh that old chestnut. Who cares.

[Il Coltello]

We look completely clueless when we finally manage to get the ball in or near their box. No movement, no confidence to try a shot. We look relieved when Cardiff clear it. Bizarre.

They break from our shit corner and go direct to our goal and force a corner.
