More likely to make a tackle than any of our defenders

It looks like the team get given sedatives at half time causing them to go to sleep for the first 10 minutes of the second half every game.

Dire performance, lucky to get a point, substitutions unfathomable and refereeing abysmal. What a great afternoon.

Seems to be some block/issue on connecting from Spain lately.

Maybe, but I'm glad it's giving Cam Pring the chance to shine. When Atkinson is fit again, I would drop JD and switch Cam to LB. He is everything that JD is not in my opinion and it's been a mystery to me why JD is being selected week after week when Cam looks like a much better option. I assume that there is something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. ps. why is J D S being changed to J D. Does J D S have a meaning I am unaware of?

Great performance just lacking that final nouse. Blades forum admits they got outplayed, cited Scott as the best man on the pitch and lucky that there was no VAR! Left infuriated after all the goings on in the 2nd half and if I was George tanner would probably have done the same by then. I think the world cup break will be a welcome one and chance to recoup the first choice backline. On to the next

Gutless performance, second to every ball again today. Looks like our players have taken sedatives. We were 1-0 down for 30 minutes and still couldn't manage a shot on target even though we subbed oyr forward line. Another festival of sideways and passing backwards and no creativity coming from our midfield. We can't defend corners and we can't attack corners either. It's bloody awful.

Just getting 403 and 404 errors here in Barcelona

I did hear Joey talking about their lack of discipline and thought that was a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Who is he to even question the discipline of others when you look at his record both within and outside football.

2 teams both happy to play out a 0-0 draw. Nothing more boring. 1 point from 4 games probably tells us where we are at the moment. I could not see any sign of much commitment or motivation from either side tbh. Just going through the motions. Waste of time banging in crosses that nobody can be bothered to challenge for. Not that most of our crosses were very good tbf. At least we kept a clean sheet I suppose, but we should be getting a lot more out of a game against a bottlom of the table side having just lost 3 on the bounce. At least Naismith going off injured avoided us gifting the opposition all 3 points as he usually does. Antoine looks a class above the rest of them, but did not really get the service from midfield that he needs and deserves.

You might ned a medium for that. We might also need something to stop our centre backs falling asleep. Our defence provides more gifts than Santa.

Reminded me of that game at Highfield Road many years ago.

Looking forward to a live game from the first time in what seems like ages. I think a decent attendance has been predicted. Anyone know how many tickets sold so far? It seems like all of our internationals have come back fit, which is a nice surprise, so I'm expecting an unchanged team again with Semenyo, who must be chomping at the bit for a start, on the bench to terrorise their defence for the last 30-minutes. We really need to get some points on the board after 2 defeats on the bounce, albeit to teams likely to be promoted and whilst QPR are decent, we have to get back to winning ways. We know we have goals in us, so I hope we go for 'safety first' at the back and try to cut out the amateur mistakes we have been making. How far is Kalas away from fitness? I've not seen anything about that for a while. I'm sure he could solve some of our drfensive woes.

Reportedly just over seven and a half sags at the camp site today to see them hit for six. Apparently 20% buy tickets but don't go so the true number of sag bums on seats probably about 6,000. Thats a goal leaked for every 1,000 sags who were there today. Still coming for us? Not during the reign of this King I think.

Unable to get robinstv until 14.40 seemed to be down before that but all up and running ok now. The service seems to have more errors in it than our defence.

We seem to be playing well enough at the moment to get a decent result at Burnley if we can avoid the silly mistakes we have been making at the back. Maybe a safety first approach is needed from our defenders at the moment. Not heard anything about fitness and availability so assume we have a full squad to pick from other than long term absentees. Expecting to be unchanged again, though he might not want Williams having too much game time.

Very amusing. I can just imagine him doing that too. I'm sure the players had a good laugh as well (I certainly would have).

I think he would find Leicester far to stressful bearing in mind his age, state of health and home location and he knows it. However, a big 2 year contract before retiring might be tempting. Personally, I don't think Leicester will want to go back. There were reasons why Leicester sacked him and I'm not sure that his personal issues have been resolved or that they will not continue to resurface from time to time.

To be fair, most of them don't know their left hand from their right hand so following a compass is going to be way beyond their mental abilities

Lack of height and a right foot are two major weaknesses it is difficult to make up for in other areas at this level. If he can't get onto his left peg, attacking situations break down and he has to go backwards. I would really like to see a bit more of Cam Pring as I've really been impressed with what I've seen of him so far and he adds a few extra dimensions where Jay is lacking somewhat. That said, J D S is looking a bit better of late, but doesn't seem to be the same player as he was prior to his broken leg.

Maybe Kalas can shore up our leaky defence when he is fit. Imagine having a player like Mark Sykes on the left as well with Semenyo in the box - Could Cam Pring do a job for us there? To me, that would be a nightmare for opponents defenders. So much different to some of the boring football we had to contend with last year.

We deserved at least a point at Norwich tonight whilst last night a division below, Ipswich could have been in double figures had they put their chances away. The Sags didn't even put up a fight and have lost both of their 2 centre backs for the next game as well (you can't expect any discipline from a team managed by a thug I suppose). The gap is still massive.

Can't believe we came away from this one without a point. But for 2 gifted goals and yet another penalty not given in the 1st half it could have been a different story. Can't believe they kept giving Mark Sykes so much room on the right. We really need to get a grip of these Naismith errors though as it is costing us matches. He's such a good player but needs to learn when he needs to play safe. If we can keep this up all season, we have to be looking at a top 6 finish, surely.

As things stand, I think I would be very happy if we could come home with a point, but football's a funny old game, so anything could happen. Expecting no team changes other than any that are forced upon us. Antoinne to come on in the 65th minute and score the winner maybe?

Whilst I understand the above, how many coaches do we have though? It seems like a new one gets appointed every month or two.
