I think for where we are that at times it is a biit quiet at home. Away the fans are very noisy with chants all game. It's like that for a lof teams at home. You allude to other teams where it can be quiet. Just my take on things. I sit in the South Stand (centre) and the Birmingham fans made a lot more noise than us for long periods of the game.

Thought with the numbers they brought their support was pitiful. I sit in South stand G and never heard the library comment. Maybe you got mixed up with the support.Not the greatest vocal support for the Blades but still better than most teams get.

Living in Spain so can only comment from watching it on TV rather than seeing them week to week, (I rely on DB for his reporting and snippets from TV to make judgments).
But i think we need 2/3 quality players (I think Wilder has alluded to that). Mostly in the last third and between the back line and our midfield. Sharp thrives on through balls and last night he wasn,t getting any, maybe rest him for a few matches and play Brooks or Donalson/Hanson, Carruthers would be better in centre of the last third (not sure he is good enough, but that for me is his best position but that is probably Brook's best position! we also need more goals from outside the box, not sure who we have that could provide that ? I think we are desperate for a natural goalscorer we rely on Leon and Billy too much and if we can,t get those little through balls to them we are going to struggle for goals. As for other teams scoring from long range, we need someone who can close them down quicker than we are doing, maybe Lundstram to play a bit deeper?

Anyway, these are "happy days" so not criticising anything just need a few quality additions in the Jan' window if we can afford them ?
