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

[fifty shades of blade]

Oh that old chestnut. Who cares.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Think a few of us will be too tbh

Clearly some players out there who don't want to be. Gilchrist and Burroughs have put a shift in as have the youngsters but Brooks attitude is shocking and as for Brewster…….

 

[gooseh]

Not sure what performance this week has been more dire, Arsenal against Newcastle, or this one.

 

[Richeee]

Difficult one for Wilder.. if he brings on some of our better players off the bench and they get injured we'd be stuck with these lads in the championship

 

[10p]

Brooks having. Nightmare.

 

[Lightsoot]

When Brooks is gash, he’s truly gash. And One is thick.

 

[Lightsoot]

Get Hampson on. We need a ball carrier.

 

[Gateford Blade]

Complete non-event. Fair play to the 6k who bought tickets for a reserve game

 

[Flumps]

Never want to lose so to speak but the sooner we lose this and fuck the cup off the better. The crowd shows no one could give a toss. The players seemingly aren't that bothered either.

A waste of an evening

 

[toledo]

It is what it is but this has been very dire …

 

[Shawy24]

Brooks having. Nightmare.

Probably thinks he’s now too good for being required to play with the reserves and reckons if he plays shit he will be hauled off. Doesn’t seem to know Wilder.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Better off out of the Cup

 

[MTBlade]

Disappointed with Brookes tonight.

Not sure if its the tactics or set up, but

Clearly some players out there who don't want to be. Gilchrist and Burroughs have put a shift in as have the youngsters but Brooks attitude is shocking and as for Brewster…….

Totally agree re Brooks.

Did someone say Wilder had mentioned something re his attitude, because he doesnt look like he wants to be playing tonight.

 

[Chilttheblade]

Losing the will to live watching this match. What is it with the FA cup Third Round and Wilder?

 

[SouthportBlade]

Surely everyone knew what was on the cards tonight, no? Like no one can be disappointed?

Wilder wants a loss, and that is what we will get. Non-event.

Can’t quite believe I have sat and watched, let alone 6.5k people in person.

 

[bakeblade]

It is what it is but this has been very dire …

Those calling for Marsh to get minutes have got their answer tonight. The lads miles off it at the moment and needs a lower league loan now.

 

[FriethBlade]

Shocking display, can't even play accurate 10yd passes

 

[Barnette]

So sad that this is us in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. It should matter more than this.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Thought Blacker had been really good!

Agree re:Brooks and Brewster. You'd expect them to be bossing games like this.

 

[The Crab]

Fair play to anyone who has gone to watch this tonight. No urgency at all

 

[gooseh]

Lovely throw.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Don’t know why everyone is so shocked Wilder has thrown this match. We haven’t the squad to go on a cup run and do well in the league simultaneously.

I hate losing but this strategically makes the most sense. At least we’ve not been drubbed in the process…

You know we r playing their reserves too?

 

[Steve.C]

oh dear Wilder. That was up there with the worst performance Ive ever seen.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

You know we r playing their reserves too?

Yeah that’s probably why we’ve not been battered

Beat Norwich next weekend and no one will give two shits about this result

 

[blades78]

Some horrific performances from our first teamers. Should be setting an example, but Brookes, Brewster, Norrington Davies and McCullan were appalling.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Quite shite that was.....Wilder gives us another Barnet performance.

But balls to it ..who cares.

 

[BangorBlade]

Pish !
Thought Baptise & Blacker did ok out of the youngster's.

 

[Steve.C]

Yeah that’s probably why we’ve not been battered

Beat Norwich next weekend and no one will give two shits about this result

If we don’t? and it’s as boring as that!

 

[LS5 Blade]

The obsession with always looking for a safe pass and going backwards and sideways has been well coached into the kids as well I see.

Poor game, just glad none of 1st team got injured!
