tin Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) We’re lucky not to be going in behind at the break. Both sides lacking that cutting edge up top in the first half. Sheff Utd have looked decent on the ball, but they’re wide open at the back and have two CBs on yellow cards. Bentley looks like he’s got another gaffe in him tonight.

Ivorguy Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 For those criticising NP’s training, I see our defence as well organised. 2 Quote Link to comment
BCFC Rich Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Well pretty dull if you are City fan - however despite the jokes I do think we have looked pretty well drilled at the back, other the Bents going a bit crazy. Oddly enough their best real chance he saved really well, the rest have been half chances and long shots. they are a good side with good build up play we could probably do with an extra man in midfield. Funnily enough as long as we don't concede in the first 5 mins or so after HT - I think we'll get a 1-0 or 1-1, just feels like one of those games, where we'll get a decent chance and tuck it away and they'll keep huffing and puffing.

And Its Smith Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Reading and Derby beat these recently. We rarely even give top 8 sides anything to think about let alone beat them Quote Link to comment
italian dave Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Have our wing backs crossed the half way line at any point yet? Quote Link to comment

I think on paper our defence is performing exactly how it looks. Is NP getting the very best out of them? I'm not so sure. But we've got lower tier championship players for defenders and that's exactly what we're seeing here. Quote Link to comment
WessexPest Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Relieved they are playing without a recognised striker or that could have been a painful first half! Edited April 18, 2022 by WessexPest Quote Link to comment
robin_unreliant Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I have hope because we are attacking SS in the second half. For some reason I never expect us to score at the Atyeo end. Quote Link to comment

Jerseybean Posted April 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 HT thoughts. Reminds me of the training scenario when it’s attack against defence. They are slick and clever going forward, with some great touches and movement and we have (largely) held it together defensively, although I can’t see us surviving another 45+ minutes without conceding. Unfortunately, when (rarely) going forward ourselves we have consistently lacked anything to cause them any problems and too often we have failed to take the pressure off our defence by not keeping the ball. If this continues I can only see SU winning. 2 Quote Link to comment

22A Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Before kick off, the "studio experts" informed us of the danger from Chris Martin Watching the game it appeared for the first half hour that CM wasn't good enough at this level, then on 38 minutes he put through a very good pass to start an attack. On the whole Sheffield appear to have omitted their shooting boots whereas City struggle passing to a team mate. Interesting before the game to hear Neil Warnock state how he liked Andy W and watched him several times. During the half time chat will Dan B be praised for his initiative, or be instructed to stay nearer his goal? Quote Link to comment
Gert Mare Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 No movement off the ball when we go forward. Pretty cagey affair first half although Bents had tried to gift them a couple Quote Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Massengo runs in nowhere. It feels we are one man short in the middle. 0-0 ht good for us. COYR!!! Quote Link to comment

bcfc01 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 One word sums that up - embarrassing. Never seen Bentley make so many bad decisions, he looked a right clown that half. Massengo is all over the place, not in a good way either. Chasing the ball like in a kids game and leaving holes in midfield for them to play in. Defence can't be faulted imo, just nothing in front of them. Looking at the bench, I can't see where any changes could be made tbh. If Pring was on the bench, we would have had options. Maybe King for Massengo if he's fit enough - he can't be any worse. Quote Link to comment
maxjak Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Defence doing ok?........apart from Bentley who has been eating magic mushrooms instead of easter eggs? Midfield is completely non exisistent, which means the attacking players have absolutely no service apart from the occasional whoosh ball, which is pointless, because we have virtually no pace except Antoine, who is at least trying his best.........unlike Martin, who is completely anonymous. Bring on some youngsters....I say. Thank God all Utd's strikers are injured.....or else it would be all over by now? Quote Link to comment
stephenkibby. Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 We maybe near the bottom 3 but at least we entertain with our easy on the eye fluid football. 3 Quote Link to comment
KegCity Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Need to stop aimlessly hitting long balls forward. Hasn’t worked for months.

This is turgid. It will be less in reality. 13K is inclusive of all season tickets, whether the holder actually turns up or doesn't. 13K is also about how many season tickets we have sold for this season. Suggests very few POTD tickets went for this one. Quote Link to comment

One mistake and they are past them and at the defense. Quote Link to comment
Colemanballs Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I'm not seeing the doom and gloom. We actually look as though we have a plan and are organised enough to try and stick to it. I've doubted NP tactically, but the last three halves have been promising in my view. 2 Quote Link to comment
