got to win and with no defensive errors

COYB

[Dubbag]

Good atmosphere there...Nice to have Phillips and Gayle back...

[boingy]

Good goal from Sheffield, this is a good team....up against it today.

[boingy]

Good save from Johnstone.....He needs to be top notch for the rest of this game.

[boingy]

Sheffield are controlling this game I can see why they are fancied for going up. We can still do it but we have to start dominating with some self belief.

[boingy]

Harper is looking really good, looks like Laurie cunningham at times

[Bombers right foot]

Second best all over the field, too many hopeful 30 yard hoof balls, massive improvement needed

[boingy]

Were playing well but well isn't good enough against the top teams in this league. We have to take the game by the scruff of the neck and make Sheffield chase the game, but they are a decent team.

[Lost city albion]

We always seem to fall short when we need to win can't fault the effort from the lads

[Bombers right foot]

4-3-3 not working at home, Sheff Utd doubling up on the flanks, needs more in game management to get a result here.

We really do. Been like that for years.

What would you suggest Bomber?

[astle71]

we certainly do need to improve and by 2 goals

[TipperaryBaggie]

Our distribution from the back and the goalkeeper are very poor again tonight. This has been a problem all season which the coaching staff haven't addressed yet.

[boingy]

Cant see that we have anyone on the bench that can change this. Needs someone to rise up .

[astle71]

why take short corners get the ball in the box

[astle71]

we seem to get in a position where we can close the gap but fail
automatic promotion just about gone i think

[Bombers right foot]

We really do. Been like that for years.

4-4-2, withGayle playing up front, not 35 yards away from goal on the wing, what Moore is thinking I don't know

[Bombers right foot]

What would you suggest Bomber?

See above

[Bombers right foot]

If it ends 0-1 we've got what we deserved, poor performance, creating virtually nothing, Gayle on the wing ffs.

[boingy]

See above

Got it.

[boingy]

Well deserved victory for Sheffield Utd. There will still be some twists and turns though. COYB!

[TipperaryBaggie]

The whole game was summed up in the last minute when we had a free kick inside our half. What did we do but pass it sideways and lost possession within two touches. What sort of mentality is this manager installing in this team.

[mickd1961]

My son said we were awful and Harper was c r a p.

The bits I saw Harper was poor and Holgate’s distribution was abysmal.

Gayle on the wing??

Moore......FFS....wake up!!!

[Q165]

What summed it up for me was in the dying minutes when Johnstone had the ball and was looking vainly to pass it short to somebody but was dithering about and the crowd were getting narked. Clearing it long and quickly was out of the question. So as there was nobody available close by he tried to chip it to another player slightly further forward only to direct it straight to a United player.

And just what is it with the ability or patent lack of it in being able to cross a ball? It was Murphy the other night and Holgate today. I just cannot understand this.

[WBA53]

Just got back,absolute gash of a performance with only hegazi meriting any praise,and don't get me started on Johnstone what a p is poor keeper he is

[BRE259]

Harper is looking really good, looks like Laurie cunningham at times

🤣Laurie Cunningham, what you drinking?

[TipperaryBaggie]

��Laurie Cunningham, what you drinking?

Harper is a wonderful talent on the ball but off the ball he makes Cladio Yacob look like a feckin greyhound!
