Soooooo slow

[Alex Cheeseright]

Why do we have to set up attacking situations while allowing the defense to get set.? Rarely do we whip early crosses in. All 3 goals today caught their defense back peddling. Once we have let them set in, we might as well kick the ball out for a goal kick cause the attacking move is over. Does my frikin head in how we let teams get ready before a cross. Is that what they practice mid week? We have so much talent going forward yet decide to give the defense time to organize. This is not cricket!!!!

Inverted wingers. Left footed Brooks on the right wing and right footed Hamer on the left.

We are the classic, good between both boxes team. We struggle to close the deal at one end, whilst keeping the door shut at the other.

Hamer, who scored with his right after coming on off the the left yesterday?! Brooks who’s done the same numerous times off the right with his left?!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

For much of the game yesterday I thought we had more zip about us attacking wise than normal tbh!

 

[John Street West Terrace]

We really did try to walk the ball into the back of the net in the first half

We've been slow forever yet when we counter attack quickly we're actually pretty good! Burrows goal was a perfect example, we did it at Wembley, we've done it a number of times with success.. yet most of the time we give the opposition all the time in the world to get back a reorganise which makes our job 100x harder.

There doesn't appear to be any tactics or systems whatsoever.

At the very least we need an experienced director of football, but ideally an entirely new manager and back room staff with a modern approach to football.

The slow, sideways and backwards possession obsession is the modern approach to football.

What’s missing is a McGoldrick and a Norwood.

We had it so good when those two were at the club.

It’s boring, isn’t it?
The success teams have playing that way demands high quality players. Decent pros go through the motions but don’t have the X factor to unlock teams. Consequently it looks pedestrian and ineffective

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

We've just settled down back into the stereotypical Sheffield United of old, walk the ball in the net.

Who is this "shoot" the crowd keep yelling?

 

[Blades1971]

Get the ball into the box ASAP. That's were goals are scored mostly

And here comes peakblade again with his laughing emoji instead of, just for once, making any sort of point. Clearly not the sharpest tool in the box.

Quick breaks and someone with the bottle to shoot = 3 goals.

Wasn't complaining about it, just explaining why we're slow to put crosses in. It's not really a system to build for wide play as much.

It would serve any team getting promoted much better to be a ruthless counter attacking team with strong defense. Thats the way a team will survive in the premier league.

I’d much prefer us to have less of the ball, but be solid defensively and exciting on the counter attack.

Bang on the button.

Our style of play of late had been a bit of a conundrum. We do see plenty of the ball, but bizarrely we never seem to be in control of it.
Its like playing pass the parcel with a live grenade.
