United 3 Swansea 3 - report/ratings

[bakeblade]

I'd add that Swansea were no mugs. They were better than I expected

They were worse than I expected, particularly at the back

I don't generally single individuals out for criticism as they are all far better footballers than I ever dreamed I'd be.....but.... Yesterday was the poorest performance I've seen from Femi Seriki, he had problems staying on his feet most of the game, his decision making was poor and his direct opponent has his number for the 96 minute duration of the game.
Collectively we have the softest underbelly I've seen from a Blades team for several years

Femi's been really poor recently, that could work in our favour as I can't see anyone putting in a decent offer.
Him and Brooks will be an exciting combo next season

Wilder 1 max

Was he the giant bearded centre back who kept passing the ball to me in the JSS. Joke of a footballer.
I disagree about the red Deadbat,I thought he was very weak and fucking awful from the first minute ,but not the reason we didnt win.
There were a lot of rumours about Ben Mee flying about in the hotel yesterday ,here say ,but more than one person told me hes a nasty piece of work behind the scenes and has been fucked off as a bad apple.

Interesting, perhaps he's taken badly to losing his place. When Wilder came back he said he was desperate to get him in the side and there was an improvement in the defence.
Strange how he's now totally out of favour with us having a consistently poor defence.

I’ll put one positive spin on yesterday, so maybe you miserable northern bastards can cheer up a bit. (Leicester till I die)

My son’s autistic, it takes a lot of effort to get anything out of him or find something he enjoys.

He took a passing interest in football and started playing for our local non league club back down in Leicestershire circa pandemic time. He ended up drifting away from it.

Long story short I took him to his first game yesterday and he loved it as I live here now that’s my only option with him as he’ll never remotely understand football he needs to see it first hand. Missus is a blades season ticket holder so it works.

I have go to him when it comes to anything because of his condition but just to seem him watch from minute 1 to minute 96 in the real world was so heart warming and I can’t wait to to take him again.

If anything your inability to hold on to a 3-1 lead showed him what football is all about, and he still loved it.

So an innocuous draw with Swansea might be a disappointment to a lot of you but it sent a little 10 year old boy with learning difficulties to sleep singing “we are the blades, we are the blades”

Every cloud.

I thought we had an option on Jairo to give him another year, is so we should

With Riedeweld, Rothwell and Arblaster we'll have the most unathletic centre midfield in a league that's getting more athletic year on year....
