Sheffield United at home match day thread

[collier]

We played well second half I think. Maybe we deserved a point and a fair result I think!

[Ivorguy]

Well played City

I may be in a minority but I rated our defence today

[Lanterne Rouge]

Rob Atkinson. Wow. Just wow. What a game he had.

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

My comment from the 1st half stands, somebody pass it to Weimann in space.

I actually think Klose had a better game. Was exactly where he needed to be. In the first half he cleared up Bentleys mistakes 

[Northern Red]

That'll do. Would have bitten your hand off for it at half time but the second half was miles better.

[Atyeo's lift]

Great match especially second half. Atkinson outstanding

[Roger Red Hat]

If only Pearson had taken off Martin, we'd have won that........

[Jerseybean]

After being outplayed in the first half IMO we put in a determined and hard working second half and it waS actually a decent game/performance with a draw just about the right outcome.

Don’t think we were. Bad first half I grant you but decent defensive and on another day 3-0 up. 

[cidercity1987]

Deserved that point if not more in the end I thought. Sheff Utd were very toothless

[Ska Junkie]

Really boring first half, much better 2nd though.

I'll take a point although either side  could have had more.

[BCFCGav]

Well played boys, did well there. Some better final 3rd decisions and we win that but a draw against sixth, very tidy. COYR.

[AshtonRobin21]

Very enjoyable second half. 

Considering the prize Sheffield United are playing for, I thought we put up a fantastic fight in the second half. 

A clear game plan in mind, that we followed very well. 

Defensively I felt that we looked very good, other than the goal. 

Positive signs.

Both had excellent games, we have to offer Klose a contract to stay. His calm defending has helped us a lot.

Very good game from Klose today, sign that man for next season

[Sweeneys Penalties]

4 points more than I thought we'd get this Easter. I feel a little easier about next season now

[Lanterne Rouge]

I can`t help thinking Nige fired a few ***** into them at HT.

[cityexile]

Given the chances we created last half hour disappointed not to win it, not something I thought I would say half time. They had more of the ball, but other than their goal where somebody lost their man for the original shot, restricted them to very little really.

Much, much better second half.

Massengo more disciplined and had a good second half.

Could have nicked it, but they wasted their first half chances.

Happy with the point with 2 x 18 year old midfielders as wing backs - why no Pring on the bench I wonder.

[Dan Robin]

Fair result, and some good play for City in the second half.

Better decision making and we could have been 3 up

Excellent from Massengo, once again proving his mind isn’t elsewhere 

He brings energy into the midfield. We don't have that when playing Williams and James.

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. 

 

Because every other time I've ever stuck my neck out with a mid game prediction I've had to quote myself at the end to show how wrong I was I'm just going to leave this here.

To be fair they had their 3 main strikers all injured

I think so too. We were instantly more aggressive, I reckon James and Massengo won the ball back more in the first 10 minutes of the second half than in the entirety of the first.
