Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted March 7, 2020 Utterly rubbish defending - why was Godfrey so deep, two players miles offside if he was keeping the line with Hanley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kanadyan Kanary 121 Posted March 7, 2020 They are up for it. We are not! They first to the 50/50 and when we do have the ball we are being bullied off it in the middle of the park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted March 7, 2020 We don't have anyone who can put in a cross or a corner like they do and they've got half a dozen players who can do it consistantly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertociNCFC 98 Posted March 7, 2020 Spineless performance so far, really disappointed with them, just playing into their hands and don't seem to be able to keep hold of it for more than 2 seconds. Just shows the gulf in class between two promoted sides 😞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 7, 2020 We have to up our physicality against these. Its no good playing neat stuff but bottling it when the muck starts flying. Whatever we say, Fleck is on the pitch and hasn't been booked. Poor old Todd certainly doesn't look ready to challenge for 50-50s. And after a good start, Duda is anonymous.

lharman7 39 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Sad to think that all Sheff Utd have to do is pump the ball long onto our box to cause absolute havoc. Can we not just for once go man for man marking on set pieces? Edited March 7, 2020 by lharman7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted March 7, 2020 This certainly isn’t anywhere near the performance level of the last two games, but Sheff U are a real ‘in your faces’ side and have proved themselves hard to play against for even the best sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the Germans 1,075 Posted March 7, 2020 This is a disgrace. Why is it that every time they get the ball, they are either totally in space or at worst have a 1 vs 1 with our player. Everytime we have the ball, we've got 1 vs 3. I really can't work out why, is it the system they play? Is it more desire? Is it just dreadful tracking / positioning of ours? All of the above? I don't understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 7, 2020 We need to up our intensity. We are 1-0 down and playing like we are 1 up. They were no better than us until the goal but since then they are steamrolling our midfield. Buendia and Kenny are trying but the rest are nowhere I'm afraid.
