Sheffield United at home match thread

[Spike]

Having watched that first half I'd say it's one of the best performances in a long time, I'd say our only downfall is playing it back and forth with Max although I wonder if Max has been told to play it out but has taken it too literally as that pass to Scott was a hospital pass and had he fouled because of that he could have been off.
I am interested in the second half with Semenyo coming on from the bench, I think that's when he's at his best, coming on against tired legs, his power and pace against tired legs really lets him shine.
Only frustration we can have would surely be that we've not been able to take the lead, everything else is looking very promising.

This makeshift back line is genuinely looking very impressive. I feel like performance versus minutes played Cam Pring must be the most unlucky player in the world.

I think we've been excellent,  barely given a sniff to a decent Sheffield United side. We do need to pick our crossing opportunities better but we always look dangerous running at them at  pace down the centre. If we can sustain the energy levels we will get 3 points. 

The worry is that we've used a lot of energy first half and as we hit 60-70 minutes without a lead the pendulum can easily swing. First goal is gonna be crucial I feel.

James and Scott controlling the midfield.

That’s the kiss of death right there 

54 mins - 0-2 (Pring OG)

[Offside]

Really good performance from City so far. All we need is a goal. 

[Davefevs]

Enjoyed that. Reckon it must be windy pitchside, ball looks to swirling, yet can’t feel it in the stands.

Conway scores with the chance Andi hit against the bar.

[stephenkibby.]

Good so far, deserve to be in front.

Is it me or is Sykes worried about getting hurt when in a tackle or jumping for a header?

[Fordy62]

Wells has looked brilliant at winning the ball back deep. He must be enjoying his football.

[Super]

[Slippin cider]

[BasSavage88]

What a ******* waste that 1st half was. ******* dreadful defending 

[old_eastender]

bugger 0-1

[Lanterne Rouge]

And there it is. Bollocks.

[petehinton]

Vynerrrrr

[WarksRobin]

Two players offside on replay

[The Gasbuster]

******* rubbish !

[cityexile]

Not an ideal start to the half…

[Super]

Surely Sharp is offside?

[LoyalRed]

Terrible defending ! 

[HOZDA]

So so frustrating 

[Fordy62]

Good old Zak. 

[RedEd73]

Bloody typical of us

Our lack of quality when on top again. Same old ... offside there though.

[Rossi the Robin]

Sloppiness led to that, 3-4 times and was building up

[Andy082005]

And that, is why we just are not good enough to be a top half / top 6 team. We all knew deep down that was going to happen 

[Bris Red]

Here we go then. ******* joke
