Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Sheffield United vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

Free kick in the 94th minute and we don’t even get it as far as the box ffs.

Desperately need a bit more up front, general play is alright but we’re not creating anywhere near enough.

 

[DanWelsh]

Ok we lost 1 nil against a relegated side from last season. It's more the fact we lost to a stupid own goal.

 

[eteb]

Familiar story.
A failed system is a failed system, whichever way it’s repainted.

Sausage

 

[JackSomething]

Nothing like Martin you sausage

Agreed. Say what you want about this team, but we don't look anything like we did under Martin.

 

[eteb]

Agreed. Say what you want about this team, but we don't look anything like we did under Martin.

Our general play is good. We need our forwards to start clicking now and we'll be fine.

The optimist in me is praying Williams is fixing our defence before looking further forward..

 

[Swansea93]

Viptonik, Bianchini, Franco & Naughton all to start next match, we done alright with the ball neat and tidy but didn’t create much.

 

[sainthelens]

We are so fckn predictable. As some have said, just no urgency. Couldn't smell blood in the first half, toothless.

 

[T8AD365]

Another game with just one shot on target.
He really needs to look at his tactics because we're just so toothless at the top end of the pitch, it's a recurring theme

 

[Skippyjack]

I'm going to go all Russell Martin here and say that we're only an own goal away from a point.

Sheffield should've scored 3 goals in that half mun.. it was hopeless, fans are being hoodwinked because we pass it neatly and create sod all

 

[Cooperman]

Some positives to go with some negatives:
We expected a hammering against a team who will be up there at the end
Game time for Bianchini
Matched them up to the goal going in
Vipotnik creates a presence at both ends of the pitch

On the other hand:
Our set pieces are shocking, WTF is Sheehan doing with these
No cutting edge with the ball
Tymon is a worry, he needs an arm around him tomorrow.

 

[A4Jack]

Easy game Saturday then...

 

[FelindreJack]

Clueless going forward. Could have played all night and not scored. Not terrible overall but that was fecking boring.

 

[Fred]

Looks like he’s got no confidence in putting one in with his left foot. God knows why we’re playing him on the left wing if that is the case.

The manager’s penchant for selecting wrong pegs, in a bid to retain possession and Up the possession stats (cuts back in instead of risking the 50:50 cross into the red zone) and thus his own CV.

 

[eteb]

At least the scum are 5 points from safety....

 

[Bluenile]

Villa just scored against Bayern. Now THAT'S how you manage a team!
