Match Thread The Mighty Blades v Millwall

[bromtom]

Fuck off ref

 

[dazzlingblade]

bad day, egan suspended, bash n billy injured, result wise not great but if the oinkers can nick a win we will be 2nd, worst case scenario we go 3 behind, still all to play for

 

[Topplayersleave]

Not like Sheffield United to turn in a couple of half arsed performances when so much is riding on it. Spineless, bottleless useless bunch of total and complete fucking wankers.
I would say they got what they deserved, but that wouldn't be true because they deserved fuck all

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Not a good day at the office. ..Not over blades. Stay positive. Come on pigs. .. I'm going to throw up now. ..

 

[Seth Rollins]

We’ve blown it. Lets be honest,we all know we have. Disgrace. Dress it up how you want,we’ve bottled it AGAIN.

 

[Espania blade]

We look mentally and physically fucked, we desperately need some fresh legs in the team

 

[BritishSteel]

Fannies will be out tonight, if not already. I predict 15 fanny threads if not more.......

 

[true99blade]

No one can put it any other way, we're totally bottling it.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

You have to admit Millwall deserved their point. Played well in last 30 mins. All the enforced changes made us totally disjointed.
With the missed pen we could easily have lost that, so a point might not be a bad result.
C’mon Oinkers do something useful for once.

 

[Iceybabey]

Took me back to the end of last season that did

think back 2 years you dumb twat

 

[dazzlingblade]

never read so much shite in all my life, we are in fucking 2nd place, poor performance yes, bottling it no, jesus wept we have some proper arsehole fans

 

[Topplayersleave]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
I suppose Man Utd and Chelsea fans think back to the Champions League Cup wins when they lack the bottle to go and win games.

They've had their chances over the last few weeks and they've blown them through having no bottle...….as per fucking usual

 

[Seth Rollins]

We’re bottling it. & praying them lot beat Leeds to get us out if jail.

 

[NotTheSharpest]

McGoldrick and Henderson apart we seemed to be in a daydream today. Every ball was so predictable for pretty much the entire game. No one seemed to want the ball except Didzy. We made Millwall look good and they deserved their goal. Since the Villa game we have gone into our shells and forgotten how we played for the first 3/4 of the season.

We are so much better than we have played on the last few weeks.

And worst of all we have just taken the pressure off Leeds and given away the advantage of playing first over the next few weeks.

 

[Barnette]

Top teams in whatever division do not play like that when they take a 1-0 lead against a bottom half team. It's like all the positivity that Wilder has instilled in us is slowly draining away.

I'm gutted, heartbroken and exhausted by today - it was a game we should have been good enough to go on and win - end of.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Anyone that thinks we aren't bottling it is deluded. On other days we could have lost all the games since Leeds if you look at chances created. We just are not playing well enough to deserve to go up during this run in.
Please please please prove me wrong starting with a Wednesday win tonight

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

There's only three things that are certain in life.

Death, taxes and Sheffield United fucking it up.

just said the exact same words to my son !

Too right, glad somebody else can actually see it for what it is.
Everything that some keep saying about this being a different team, different manager, different time, different attitude is total bollocks. They're still the same spineless, frightened, bottle merchants when it really matters. And now they've fucked it completely

 

[Topplayersleave]

Fannies will be out tonight, if not already. I predict 15 fanny threads if not more.......

Yes, it's called being bothered.
Anybody wishing to waffle the same fucking platitudes tonight is about as gullible as it gets.

The team bottled it, as per usual. The manager bottled it, just as previous managers always do.

 

[Topplayersleave]

I hope Leeds win 7-0 and finally finish us off.
We might play a bit more relaxed attacking football for the last couple of games when there's no pressure to affect the spineless bastards

I do care .

If this is the worst you have ever had to endure in life then fuck knows what you will make of it when something happens to you that really does matter.

 

[sheff_blade90]

im normally a level headed person at the football but that was probally only 2nd time beside Barnet. where i was fuming, we can blame this, that & maybe the ref. but team got everything we deserved today, absolutely furious with the mentality of the players. i was going to slag them off even if we had got 3pts. the referee didnt make the utd players starting out of character putting 10 men behind the ball for the final half hour. why everytime we take the lead, do we 180 & park the bus inviting pressure & momentum. 0-0 for 55mins on the front foot, attacking pinning millwall in. 1-0 of course park the bus invite waves of millwall pressure instead of carrying on attacking & getting a 2nd.

no wonder the crowd were quiet. players are to blame for making it so edgy & nervous. because shut up shop instead of getting 2nd. we did it v bristol made a fantastic start got 1-0 tried to park the bus for 85 mins. wasnt until bristol city equalised after 30mins. that real sheff utd returned we drew that ourselves 100% our fault. until we know how to keep a lead we don't deserve anything

also i some stupid kid in row behind incessantly humming. it was like i had vuvuzela in my ear for about 5 mins. if your going bring your kids. control them make them aware of their surroundings. so they arent irrating people around them. not sure how i had the self control to stop myself turn round telling her to shut up

I'm sure you do,
Were constantly told that we will either win or we'll go down fighting. However, the attitude today, and at Birmingham, Preston and against Bristol was a team that was trying to steal results rather than go out and attack to make sure we got them.

The first signs of pressure are when a team stops doing what it normally does, we stopped doing our normal thing weeks ago, and today was the culmination of that lack of bottle that has been brewing for weeks

 

[Houston_Blade]

Can’t really summarise the performance today in any other than a critical way. It now feels like we’ve thrown away any kind of initiative we might have had.

The last 4 games need us to be brave and go back to playing the football we know we can play.

Player ratings wise:

Hendo - 8/10 didn’t do much wrong, might have tipped the first header wide instead of straight back into 6 yard box but I’ve only seen it once so that might be unfair.

Basham - 6/10 was doing ok, gutted if he’s out for any number of games.

Egan - 3/10 not his worst performance but what was he thinking? Hope it’s a 1 match ban.

O’Connell - 6/10 we never really got our game going, he was solid enough but they had more shots than they should have.

Freeman - 5/10 looked rusty and didn’t really do much going forwards or in defence that was convincing.

Stevens - 6/10 tried to get forward but we just weren’t at it today, good run into the box in the first half.

Norwood - 5/10 had very little influence on the game, a few stray passes and looked casual at times.

Fleck 6/10 - set the goal up but wasn’t at the races again.

Duffy - 5/10 - need more from him, although the flow was interrupted by the constant personnel and formation changes.

McGoldrick - 7/10 looked the most likely to create anything again, just fighting a losing battle with so many poor performances around him today.

Sharp 5/10 - hate to say but he looks massively off form the last few weeks. Hope he’s not out for long and can get 2 or 3 goals in the next 4 games.

Madine - 6/10 - scored, won some headers but looked slow and gave too many fouls away.

Coutts and Crainie - needed Coutts to keep the ball better, he looked rusty. Crainie was on the pitch during the spell of poor defending but wasn’t at fault on his own.

Wilder - 5/10 - didn’t enforce our game on them, changes were bizarre and we sat back from the 70th minute. Need to go back to the early season tactics/form and just think ‘fuck it’ for 4 games.

 

[BritishSteel]

The biggest one being you.

Not even close to being a fanny. Thanks for you reply though. I support my club even when things go wrong. I may be disappointed with the result but am far from slashing my wrists.

 

[BritishSteel]

I'm sure you do,

Like i said , I am glad that you only have the performance of the Blades in your life to affect your view of the world

My life is somewhat different and a poor performance from the Blades although annoying isn`t really going to ruin my weekend.

26,000 supported iit todayt and it was fucking shit.

What gets me is these sorts always attack the ones who complain about wank performances.
