Can't disagree with any of that, unfortunately.

 

[Chicken with no head]

They’ll beat weeds on satdi

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Completely fair all that

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Roy

Brum are certainly a dark horse and will do well if they can find their shooting boots.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Fair. But I've seen them draw 0-0 3 times now. That's not luck, that's God awful finishing.

More clinical and they could have won 2 or 3-0

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Looked a decent outfit and deserved 3 points, but they were up against an under-strength Blades outfit. As for Che - under-performance as per usual by the sound of it.

Good outfit ? They were slightly better than us and we were crap!.
Couldn't beleave what I was seeing from Norwood and Fleck.It's as though they had a bet on for us to lose.
Not one has really played well tonight although Henderson made one good save, he was giving the ball to to players who were under pressure showed his lack of experience tonight but he and we got out of jail tonight could be the best point we get this season.
As Wilder says put it to bed and move on.

 

[Agreasychipbutty]

"sheff utd could have gone fourth tonight – yet we made them look poor"

Tbf they didn't make us look poor, we were poor...

At least we got more points than we deserved for once

 

[Harry's Game]

Brum... this season’s Fulham?

 

[Rob86]

I’m not sure they are as good as they think they are given how badly we played, but it was nearly the perfect away performance for them. Comfortable until about 70 mins then turned the screw and had very good chances/bad luck and should have won. We’d be going ape shit if we had performed like that away from home and not won. Makes the point a good one for us in the end.

Apart from the last 15 minutes and one shot in the first half, Birmingham offered little other than being defensively well organised. I'd be worried if I was them, they don't look capable of winning too many games with a forward line that couldn't hit a donkeys arse with a frying pan.

As for United, we were slow in possession, created little and remain defensively suspect. What concerns me is how easy it is to bypass our midfield, they don't appear able to do a defensive job when required. When we get caught on the ball, we are always in real trouble on the counter.

Hopefully we won't see a performance as bad as the last 30 minutes for the rest of the season, it was a collective meltdown which was tough to watch. On to the Preston game, sure we'll see a very different performance!

Well the Brum loven is a surprise .yes they did a job on us but we were really poor goals win games and they don't score many and playing like that won't going forward.
I would say that was our worst performance since Southend and ATL salvaged a point if Birmingham had been good enough they would have won tonight hitting woodwork twice or not .

 

[PaulHalfway]

Very poor game, Brum very defensive all game then had a go in the last 15 mins
We were way below the standards played in the last 5 games unfortunately
Equally they appear to be very poor up front
So may struggle this season, goals win games

Couldn’t really argue too much with their comments Roy ,
They looked a solid tidy outfit , very organised & Monk had done his homework on us . As many have said a least we got a point out of a game last season that would have been a nil return . First 20 mins we put some dangerous balls into the box but neither of the front 2 were gambling on getting on the end of them . After that a combination of a contender for miss of the season by Bogle and a cracking save by Hendo got us a point , thought our passing & build last night was too slow

 

[boo radley]

Love the fact that they think they played well. I cannot remember a poorer game by both sides since we came back in this league.

 

[SuperDuperBlades]

In this League anyone can beat anyone. We are just going to have to live with that. Unfortunately, on last night's showing, for a long time to come

 

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. Can’t disagree with any of those comments. It was a well earned point after a dreadful performance!!. Onwards to Saturday and a good reaction after last night is needed to give us 3 welcome points. UTB

 

[JordoBlade]

We were absolutely dogger and gave the ball away far too many times cheaply. That wasn't because they were good it's because we were shite. They'll go nowhere if they can't beat a team who's having an extremely bad day at the office.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

See Che is still the same overweight lazy arse player...

Who was it that offered 6m for him the season after we sold him?

 

[Stretch]

I am with you on this. They were on top for the last 30 minutes, but half of that was down to us continually passing the ball back to them. Before that both teams were incredibly average, with us edging the first half, purely based on a decent[ish] first 10 minutes.

It's funny how they think they should be challenging at the top end of the league. Not seeing it myself, they are lower mid table at best.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

One of the big hitters, I like the sound of that
