Sheffield United v Middlesbrough [12/02] Match-Day Thread

[uncle_rico]

Iling-Jnr shouldn't come out, we are carrying him and players won't pass to him because they know he's a liability.

He needs to be on the left

 

[Blamethrower]

Also, get Azaz and Edmondson off as we are going to be down to 10 men if they stay on.

 

[Scubahood]

No way Carrick will make subs at half time.

 

[sambaDTR]

Keep calm, get a goal and these will fold. Burgzorg, our only forward playing well.

 

[SmogonOuseburn]

In fairness he's a left winger.
We bought Whittaker to deputise for Doak but he won't play him.
It's madness.

Idling-Jnr did well when he came on in 2nd half against Sunderland, and Whittaker had a poor game. Maybe swap round this time?

 

[changingman]

Can't believe we're in this to be honest. These are levels above us. I had them pegged as an overly physical team (they are) but they've got some serious talent.

Illing Jr still settling into his role (if I'm being kind) but the decision to remould him as a right sided inside forward seems optimistic at present.

Midfield shape on the turnover, as ever, is appalling.

 

[Norton_Nomad]

We were lucky that the ref clearly only saw the pull on Edumundson for the penalty so had to give it really. I’ll take whatever luck we can get.

 

[r00fie1]

Ayling has no pace and Azaz cant pass a properly weighted ball.
Bluddy awful all round.

 

[Il Preside]

I thought Travers was meant to be good with his feet. He’s hoofed everything. No playing out from the back today and that is why we’ve conceded territory

 

[uncle_rico]

My worry now is that Carrick will think that was acceptable and will just say same again lads. Wilder is rattled and he’ll have them fired up for the second half.

 

[WoodallServices]

I must admit I thought the same against Sunderland but can someone tell me what the w@*kfest was about when we signed Travers? He just gives the ball straight back to the opposition.

 

[Mysonpat.]

Also, get Azaz and Edmondson off as we are going to be down to 10 men if they stay on.

This is where Carrick needs to manage and replace them ASAP.

Jus

Nice to see Sheffield United get their comeuppance. They are a dirty team. Robinson etc.

Just saying to my daughter, as long as I've followed football Sheff Utd have always been a proper sh*thouse team. It's their DNA.

Why sign a right winger for 5 million quid ..
Not playing him ...

Sign the most left footed Left winger , and play him so far out of position it's unbelievable..

Way to encourage confidence in new signings ?

 

[Duffman]

Carrick the genius straight from the Fergie play book - play bad but win -

 

[Ebor]

It'd be hilarious if we get a point from this. Like so many sht teams have done to us this season!

 

[Priv]

We were lucky that the ref clearly only saw the pull on Edumundson for the penalty so had to give it really. I’ll take whatever luck we can get.

There was also a foul on Rav at the same time and Rav wasn’t pulling the defenders shirt back. The ref had a choice which one to give.

 

[LowLaneSheriff]

Neto for Giles please

 

[RavsFan]

If we are going to get someone sent off please let it be for punching that cheating little chunt Peck.

That is all

Or Wilder himself would be fine

And Junior has been so far off then pace it's incredible.
