Sheffield United at home match day thread

We look like we have no attacking ideas. They look the better side and have had a few good chances. I will say that if we can get the counter attacking passes right in the second half, we could have some joy. They have Egan and Basham on a booking so get the ball in behind them and make them challenge. You can see they are struggling for forwards.

Bentley looks like he's had 15 coffees before the game. Decision making is all over the place.

Massengo has done well on a couple of occasions to break up play. 

Klose, Atkinson and Cundy have done well. Get the basics done and clear the danger. 

James looks like he's overhitting everything. 

Semenyo looks like he could be the one to create something, and if nothing else, both Basham and Egan are on yellows so get at them and try force a red. 

Keith Stroud is consistent as ever with his performance. 

Overall, it just looks like an end of the season performance.

Can people not see that we are being dominated in the middle, if we try and play through midfield they'll pinch it constantly. 

Their three forwards are all midfielders, they are all going to drop in and try link up, the only way we are going to create chances is sit in deep and play the long ball and see if we can pick up pieces.

No wonder we can't play out, it would be absolutely stupid to do so.

If we tried to play through Massengo and James we'd be losing the ball closer to our goal time and time again. 

Yeah it is not pretty right now but we haven't got the players to knock the ball about, especially against a team with an identity like Sheff Utd who dominate the ball and overload out wide.

Lucky they haven't got Sharp today and Bentley hasn't been punished for a few moments of madness.

Game still there to be won if we stay switched on at the back. COYR.

Another bad cross, and it's HT.

I lost the first 20 minutes, but in the second part of the half we were not bad defensevely, except for Dan's moments of madness (some chances conceded, but considering Blades quality it's not much), but at the same time we were absolutely naif/uneffective going forward, with some promising counter-attacks ruiner by final passes.
