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

[eteb]

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.

Bottom of the table sausage

 

[Swanjaxs]

Hopefully Cullen back for Stoke

 

[NWJack]

Losing mentality, epitomised by our skipper

 

[Swansea93]

Easy game Saturday then...

They smashed Pompey 6-1 tonight, no worries about them finding the net.

 

[Copamundial]

C’mon we battered them and not just with aimless passing around the back, sort ourselves out up front and we’ll be more than ok

 

[Baron Goblet]

We did well to stay in the game. Own goal very unfortunate.

Happy and disappointed but fully understand the situation we are after being left so short with the need to manage the squad as a whole.
I wish people would get Martin out of their head and use him to bash the stick with the current manager.

I'm quite impressed with how we are starting to look much more solid at the back....if the top brass had got the left winger and Striker in then the whole picture would be better.

Maybe I am just a pint half full guy but I'm seeing positives but frustrated by missed opportunities that have not been helped by the people running the club.

Haven't we only scored eight all season?

 

[Cooperman]

I think we need to persevere with Vipotnik, especially against Stoke.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Plenty of calls for Vip to start but again he looked poor

 

[CygnusX1]

Well done to those who traveled to Sheffield mid week

Eom and vip need to start showing why they are so highly rated now. eom especially

We look alright on the large. Away at an unbeaten side who'll likely be top 6 as a minimum, and there wasn't much in it.

Main concern is the absolute lack of a threat going forward. It's as if we've sacrificed absolutely all of our attacking ability for a modicum of defensive structure. Doesn't help that Ronald has been off it all season, but we're just so listless.

The absolute negatives of this squad at the minute are:

Using Abdulai on the wing - A literal waste of time, he's a holding midfielder ffs

No striker options - Started a #10 up front who missed our best chance of the game; why isn't Vipotnik starting?

Franco is too important - He's absolutely ideal for this system, both as a quality player, and the improvements he offers to Grimes. The drop off from him to Fulton and Allen is astonishing.

Also, concerned about Tymon's form. Been absolutely miles off it this season, and his back up is either a 35 year old right back, or a young kid who appears to be absolutely toss

Wouldn't say we battered them but we are certainly a more solid team at the back than we have been previously.

He’s hardly had a decent run in the side, combine that with having to settle into a new country and I think we can cut him some slack
