Pretty average goalie A functional but unexciting defence A midfield most important area of the pitch full of young lads. Bakinson is so unconvincing for being the oldest one. A slow and ageing strikeforce totalling agonising watching those two try and counter This "lot" just got 4 points off of 2 teams in the top eight of the division. Quote Link to comment
Red Ferret Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I'm not sure what sort of footballer Bakinson wants to be. He's sitting deep in midfield but is too slow/scared/apprehensive to chase the ball down and challenge. He looks lost 1 Quote Link to comment

The only time we looked ever close to scoring was a Tomas Kalas throwing. And even then he can barely reach the box… We just need some life about us. Well Martin had a great chance and had a close range header saved. That was during a period of the game where we go the ball in the final third quite often, but our attacking play just seems a bit make it up as you go along with mindless decision making.

cidered abroad Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Midfield is terrible. No bite, no decent passes to forwards and no contribution to the defence. Bring Atkinson on, move Vyner to central midfield to try and stem the tide. 1 Quote Link to comment

steviestevieneville Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 What a terrible goal to concede. Not just how much room & time Brewster had to get his shot off but how easy they played around us before it. Having james, williams & king missing is massive for us 2 Quote Link to comment
Curr Avon Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Sheffield United 1 Shapeless Blob of Purple and Lime 0. Fail to plan and you plan to fail. Without James and Williams we have no glue to hold the midfield together. Scott is repeatedly out of position and McGoldrick is bullying Vyner. Bakinson needs a lifebelt in the centre. Changes needed. Replace Benarous with Atkinson and push Vyner into the centre. Bench Scott for Semenyo. Quote Link to comment

Harry Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Just before the goal, Kalas & Baker got switched and had plenty of time to re-set but didn’t. Hence Baker was central and Kalas on the left. Weimann then passes the ball way too late, causing a completely unnecessary offside. They then get forward and Scott only narrowly cuts out a pass that would’ve seen his man in behind him for the 3rd time this half. Vyner had, for some reason, come flying out to the midfield. Bakinson kinda just watches. Massengo makes no effort to cover in behind Bakinson. Kalas naturally comes across because he’s more familiar with being the central CB (see earlier comment where the whole shape first began to break down!). And finally, why the hell was Cod on the OUTSIDE of the man at the far post. He should be inside, goal side, and if he is, the gap between him and Kalas is narrower and he might have a chance of getting a block on the shot. Dreadful goal from the moment Weimann was breaking forward. Edited November 28, 2021 by Harry 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Jerseybean Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 A poor 45 minutes from us, with far too many basic - even schoolboy - errors including being unable to keep the ball, win a 50:50 tackle, deny them space, realise that the ref will book you for dissent, etc. Accordingly, we have allowed them to control the ball and the game and we are fortunate IMO it’s only 1-0. Huge improvement needed by everyone in the second half if we we are going to get anything here, the next goal is crucial and other than Martin’s header we haven’t threatened their goal. Our traveling fans deserve medals for enduring that journey, those conditions and that first half performance. 1 Quote Link to comment

Instead he needs the hairdryer treatment. Scott we should bring off if he can't get his game going. Semenyo and Wells needed for something different but let's face it they both have the potential to come on and have zero impact. Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Think we had a couple of nice pieces of play, and when we got 2-3 corners that built a bit of pressure but overall nothing doing really. Pretty well been dominated- their pressing is much better than ours, as well as the obvious like shots and possession. Scott is never a natural RWB- not his fault but he isn't. Young too- have a problem in the wide areas. 3 bookings...all pretty cheap. All for kicking the ball away? Should know better. Quote Link to comment

JoeAman08 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 WTF was that?!? Our front 2 are routinely 30 yards more forward than anyone else. When we win it back neither one of them drop deep to help link. Despite having everyone else behind the ball they are finding massive spaces to exploit. The ref is an absolute moron. This team even gets a sniff of adversity they just shut down completely as footballer. I am done with the Weimann and Martin combo up front. Give me Conway and Semenyo all day. Idc if they have less than 5 goals combined at this level I am certain they’d offer more. I shudder to think what level Weimann would be playing at if he didn’t run like he does. Martin has ability but he is probably, if I am being nice, a L2 level athlete. Some serious adjustments need to be made at HT. Yes they are up for it with their new manager but on the couple times we ended up in their third I felt like they were shaky. We need to get more bodies in the box. COD or Scott need to be at the back post. Benarous and Massengo need to be making runs in there. 2 Quote Link to comment

maxjak Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 18 minutes ago, Red white and red said: bakinson so casual and jogging around all the time. in the press conference on Friday Bakinson seemed to say all the right things, but for me he was saying what he believed people wanted to hear, and not his proper beliefs and thoughts? He states all the correct answers and tells us how he is improving and how his fitness is better and how intends to become a box to box player like his hero Patrick Viera? But really nothing changes, and for all his promise, he will never cut it as a Championship player? He needs shipping out IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment

W’ve got to have some energy second half, someone to occupy their back players and try holding the ball up. I get it. We are what we are at the minute, pretty dull, lack spark. But blimey are we crying out for some mobility and aggression up front. If you got to keep playing on the back foot all the time, you are going to crack most times. Quote Link to comment
Bazooka Joe Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 11 useless slugs out there. If the Blades knew how to finish and had taken all their changes, it would be game over by now. I thought we'd be bad today, but not that bad. Won't be surprised if we get slaughtered second half. Will be surprised if we get anything out of the game. Get out that cloth and polish them turds Pearson. Quote Link to comment
