After the first ten minutes, we dominated the game, and then Roberts lifted both the crowd and the Sheff U team with a penalty miss that he never looked confident of converting. My heart sank when i remembered he was our taker. Despite all his talent, he will never deliver on a consistent basis. His confidence is too fragile, he can't or won't adapt and develop his game. He was going down the outside and actually using his right foot early season that's gone out the window. An eighteen-year-old kid on the opposite flank has more nous than him. He's in his prime if he can't deliver now he never will. RLB was indeed as animated as I've seen him in his sky interview especially when asked about the ref. He applied the double jeopardy rule at the pen. You don't have to issue a red for a tackle that results in a pen. That doesn't mean you can't. However, he can't then give Mephan a red for exactly the same offense because it's outside the box and double jeopardy doesn't apply. In fact, Mephan had a better case for a yellow than Robinson. Appalling piece of officiating and so far only Danny Collins has pulled him on it. Yes there were a lot of positives last night, decent ball retention most of the first half and Watson looks better with each game and we might not have deserved to win it but we didn't deserve to lose it but we have to sharpen up in both boxes.
I was surprised he took the other penalty earlier in the season it's just that his goalscoring confidence is just not confident I think sending off was a yellow
@@georgianwindow I was also surprised to see him step up earlier in the season. Robinson made no attempt to play the ball when Watson's next action would've been a shot the nearest other defender had no chance of intervening. Even under double jeopardy that warrants a red. Mepham was the last man but made a genuine attempt to play the ball and the striker was going away from goal,.yellow borderline red at best.
@@georgianwindow I know they lost several key players. Rob Edwards says that it has been hard for the team to adjust to the Championship. Other teams have had experience of relegation from the Premiership before.
I know that we have injuries at the moment that affect the makeup of the squad. I feel that the bench doesn't contain any real game changers. There is no pace or guile there to give teams something to think about during the latter stages. Playing the likes of Mayenda & Aouchiche out wide when they are not suited to that position isn't great but we don't appear to have the right kind of backup options in wide areas.
We played fairly good. We took it to them at there ground we looked on top for 80 minutes but just lacked the killer touch to hit the net im still gutted but im seeing more positives in this sides apart from u lacking the final finish I think we can get scoring goals right we can beat anyone team 8n the leauge but saying that we will play the 2 lowest ranked teams at home and draw one and lose the other lol
It's a question of how much did Sheffield United not get going and how much we played to ensure they couldn't get going. I feel we were the ones who deserved to win and made sure Sheffield United offered nothing much. That is without Cirkin and Mundle, but with poor characters like Neil, Roberts and Hume and clumsy Ballard. This is very encouraging to think of the team in a different light to last season, but that of a team that is capable of play-offs. It's just the question of character to put it in each week for whole games.
I’m usually the opposite of a happy clapper but I’m extremely positive about last night.. didn’t expect us to dominate the way we did. If you compare it to say the hull or Luton games which we obviously won I would say we were far better in this game. Yes we didn’t put chances away but shef utd are far better side than them. That said I thought Neil was poor and usually I defend him to the hilt but his continual giving ball away is starting grate. HWTL
Means nothing when you lose. Compounded by a lot of very poor performances, defensive errors and missed chances. Not signs of an automatic promotion team at all.
Please can you tell me, do Sunderland employ a set piece coach? As far as I can recall we never created any chances from our set pieces. Either way could you please put this to R LB?
We are imploding too many passengers Phil. Roberts is like a man off and needs dropping. However must say with Mundle and Cirkin playing we might have won.
We don't score enough goals and having a right sided forward who takes a penalty that a 10 year old kid would be embarrassed about and who can't ever score doesn't help
Don't set too much by this game, Sheffield played poorly and gave you too much respect, other teams will sit deep and wait for inevitable mistakes, Your manager lost you the game by not being proactive with the subs Leeds Leeds Leeds
Very, very encouraging performance. I can see us going up!
Encouraging performances where you don't take your chances won't see us go up.

Play like that week in week out, and we should have no worries.
Five draws and a loss in the last six outings simply isn´t good enough. Nuff said.
We don't have the back up on the bench that the parachute teams have
What happened to Luton ????

Well I agree and that must go down as Regis Le Bris our football was great pity we didn't het something

Don't carried away!

I think the goalkeeping coach is in charge of them
Final 3rd - 1, start by dropping Roberts! He contributes nothing! 2, stop listening to Dodds!
Trust me - RLB has sussed Dodds!

Why are you using BlueSky?
