    It's so frustrating when you see the way we tried to finish and teams above dropping points.

    I'm not saying we would reach top 2 but we've got to keep chipping away

    Disagree with this. I don’t think we’ve gone and intended to be **** first half

    Bramall Lane emptying, Sheff Utd losing and the booing starts again ...

    You clearly know what I mean. Rigg is far far more of an attacking player than Browne.

    Shame we didn't really go for the win mate. Opportunity wasted.

    Bit like weekend game. Never felt like we'd lose despite not playing well.

    We did go for the win mate. 3 very attacking subs made, got unlucky in the end not to nick something.

    still a point gained, clean sheet away from home and a big 5 games to go

    For last 20. Can not play 70 mins like we did and expect to get 3 points.

    Happy to take a point and clean sheet, could we have got all three late on, not sure we deserved to if I'm honest.
    Gained a point on the Blades, it ain't over yet.

    first 70 mins wasn’t poor

    it’s all instructional

    all focused on shape and defending until he twisted with subs

    yes there were sloppy asses that killed momentum but the mission was clearly shape and compactness until he made the subs

    There's some value in treating the early part of the game as a training exercise. Some decent defensive work. Better second half and came alive for the last half hour. DEfinitely plenty to build towards the playoffs with.

    Definitely not but I don’t think we intended to be **** for 70 minutes.
