WILL WE CUT OURSELVES ON THE BLADES ?

[Yankee_Jack]

Naughton was done for speed and smarts. The rest was academic. Should never have happened. Pato tried to fake a penalty.
Blades were the better team over 90. Subs were a detriment if anything. Blades controlled midfield after Cooper and Fulton went off. Fulton was dogging it before being sub’d. Fresh legs made little difference

What a finish, very disappointed.

We got what we fcuking asked for. In spades!! We are NOT a fit team. We are NOT an athletic team. We do NOT have an iota of pace in the team. I thought Oko was supposed to be quick able to get behind defences, so where the hell was he? Quite frankly if we can't put away the easy chances we created we don't deserve wins. Piroe was crap tonight and, with Obafemi sulking, Cullen must be cursing his luck with injuries. At least it's another game closer to Martin leaving. Brighton, come and save us.

I don't see how the go forward like this. A change of manager is our only hope.

Will we cut ourselves on the Blades? Yes, our own fucking throats!! Again!!!

Naughton is an amateur. He let an opposition player outmuscle him in the dying seconds of the match.
Ffs foul him and get a yellow or even red card for the team.

If you watch the low-lights video, Naughton did try to foul Brewster. He forgoes the ball and tries to cut across Brewster, but the kid checked up and crossed behind him. Clever play by Brewster. Weak by Naughton.

Naughton did try to foul Brewster.

He tried to block Brewster's run and force him to committ a foul. But the more I watch the video the more I am convinced that was Grimes' fault. It was his player who scored. Grimes was jogging behind him instead of protecting the central area in front of our box. Cabango did the right thing, he covered for Naughton and blocked Brewster.

But, but...the real question is what on earth were all our players doing in Sheffield United's half 30 seconds before the final whistle?

Trying to win the game but they were naive and they over-committed. This is the balance we are striving to find along with game management. On another day we could have won this by 2 or 3.

Sheffield United had better chances but McBurnie didn't want to score against us.

Not sure about that. Piroe blew one when he cut inside and fired straight at the keeper when he had the whole goal to aim at. Then Cooper, and Piroe again, between them cocked up probably the best chance of the game. Can't remember United having anything as clear cut. Mind you, I might be having a senior moment!!

It's not a senior moment it's rose-tinted glasses

Though, I might be wrong. Still haven't calculated xGoals.
