    Batth should have defended the corner tbh. Was just standing around. Meant to be the senior guy

    Yeah. I like Neil too. But he has done this twice on edge of box already this season.

    I'm not impressed with Sheff Utd tbh, if we keep this tight I believe we'll score.

    The goal and the situation we are in is down to Dan Neil. I'm not sure anybody can deny that?

    Yep. I do have a little sympathy. But it’s down to him undoubtedly

    i blame Batth for the goal but Neil for the situation. For sure.

    he’s starting in central midfield in the championship. The PL2 is where you learn. Or on loans.

    You going to ignore the free header for the scorer or that Stewart ducked under it?

    Hardly any keeper comes out for corners

    Neil also needs to learn how to tackle properly. He has a habit for scissoring. I thought he was more likely to get sent off for that.

    How come?

    If Dan controlled the ball properly, their player doesn't break through. Dan also then pulled him down when clear through on goal.

    Sorry, I wasn't thinking there.

    It was in that awkward area where it makes keepers think should I come or not. He could have gone for it but personally I wouldn't blame him for that one.

    because the lad who scored had a free header whilst our main centre back stood a meter in front of him, wasn’t marking anybody and didn’t jump. That’s why.

    Of course Dan Neil has to take the blame for the sending off and set pieces that led to the goal.

    But once again Patterson in no mans land on the corner. Charges out, s**ts himself, runs back to his line, and their man heads in from inside the 6 yard box.

    A keeper good enough for this level punches that away, all day long.

    Matched? We were the better side, we did far better than matched

    Well done for not mentioning a free header and Stewart ducking under the ball though

    Haway lads, all we've lost is a player who doesn't tackle and has periods when he's invisible ...

    ... Pritchard will produce a moment of class and we'll score here.

    Think we will. I know for a certainty the new GK coach will be seething with Patterson.
