Match Day Thread Sheff Utd v Hull City

[Drew]

Wrexham win tomorrow (which I think they will) and I think we're ****ed

I don’t see why. Our next 4 games are all very winnable.

As much as Sheffield United arent in great form, they have some dangerous players and there was always going to be a bit of needle in the game due to it being a derby and so many of our players former Blades.

Birmingham, Leicester and Charlton are all good fixtures to have and Norwich on the last day will have nothing to play for. 2 wins might be enough, 3 wins will probably do it. It’s not impossible we win all 4 of them.

 

[Kevin Francis]

Exactly we should take absolutely no responsibility for our actions and decisions
Refs are definitely against us
Clearly don’t want us to go up
The whole championship is against us

It's not that Chazz. I'm also sure with the benefit of hindsight some of us will calm down a bit, but hat ref's performance was inexplicable. it was like the longer the game went with us in front the more he was desperate to give them the upper hand. Now it's clearly not corruption, but when a professional is that incompetent it looks like it

Yes but we don't look like putting that sort of run together at the moment

We looked good against Coventry.

I genuinely back us to beat Birmingham, Leicester, Charlton and Norwich more than I did Sheffield United

Wrexham are in similar form to us, but you think they’ll beat Birmingham but we won’t? Why?

 

[Walter Sobchak]

I think people are being harsh on Serj. The players created more than enough to win that game with his formation, selection and tactics. The players got frustrated and ****ed themselves.

Because it's City innit

“I need to have a beer or two with the ref tonight and possibly another one tomorrow”

Regardless of tactics it was working for us until Lundstram got his first yellow for... What exactly? Their guy pulled his leg as he walked away and then booted off at Lundstram who stood there after he got up. Then the ref gets in Lundstram's way and sends him off for being into the tackle late. Lundstram should have ran through the ref and stopped the play but the prick would probably have sent him off for that anyways. Penalty then given essentially for players standing their ground as the ball comes in, but on replay there's more shoving coming from their players than ours because they're the ones trying to go somewhere.

Tactically we could have been a few up at half time. We'd restricted them to long range pot shots. What's playing a low block got to do with the ref having an absolute colossal bollock drop at our expense?

Tactically doesn't mean anything, the game is won on the pitch and us sitting in just invited waves of pressure. Yeah they had pot shots, but by the time the red card came around we should have been further ahead with the chances we had. We just don't kill games off while we have the advantage and as long as it's 1-0 the other team feel they have a chance and will continue to apply pressure. I just get the feeling that if we go ahead, the players start playing like the game is done and the other team will give up.

The ref cocked up booking Lundstram in the first place, but you play the hand you're dealt and Lunny knew he was on a booking, so going flying into tackles in a safe area of the pitch - with his experience - isn't clever.

I'd have to see the penalty bit again, I sarcastically said that McBurnie hauled their guy over into the back of the net, but there seemed to be both sides doing it, so for that to happen there has to have been an impediment on their player.

 

[Amin Arrears]

****ing hell, even Wilder has lambasted the ref. Maybe pigs can fly.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

****, went to paint my fence at half time. Missed 5 minutes. Did I miss much?

The National...

 

[Steven Toast]

Why are we so undisciplined?

For the same reason we're a team of ****houses; it works in our favour a lot, but there are times like today when it goes against us.

 

[Top_Tiger]

Where was Collyer? Our signings bar Amir this year in midfield have been horrific. And may eventually be our downfall.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

Bent ref

Homophobe....

 

[Ernie Shackleton]

****ing hell, even Wilder has lambasted the ref. Maybe pigs can fly.

A minute or two before the final whistle Wilder and Serj had a word which looked totally amicable. I suspect Wilder said ref's cost you the game today, mate.

Right from the off that makes no sense. We should have been further ahead, yet we invited waves of pressure on? If we should have been further ahead then something's working and weve soaked up the pressure effectively. I don't disagree about Lundstram diving in when on a yellow card, but if the ref isn't there he makes it in time and if anything it should have only been his first yellow anyways. Its ridiculous.

 

[Newland Tiger]

Most frustrating loss for a long time that

 

[Plum]

Seems the ref's a regular PL performer, perhaps he's just used to having VAR tell him what to do.

You don't, but there's also the asterisk there that the ref was in his way which made him even later.

He makes sense for some of it, but then complains about the ref? He gifted you an extra man and a penalty You owe him a case of beer you little fat piggy
