MATCHWATCH : Sheffield United (a)

[windermereROYAL]

Won`t need to if they`re 3-0 after an hour.

[Millsy]

Trouble is we're pressing like crazy too, or trying - it's just that they're better. So we'll both tire out.

[Brogue]

We’re looking a bit more composed now. They are no longer slicing through us all the time.

[Millsy]

Definitely. I can see us nicking one.

[Ascotexgunner]

Definitely. I can see us nicking one.

Kiss of death.

[CountryRoyal]

How is this only 1.

[Millsy]

Definitely. I can see us nicking one.

Kiss of death.

Yeah sorry I mean I can see SU getting another 7.

[Snowflake Royal]

Few too many screamers this season, encouraging people to take some daft efforts.

[retro royal]

Glad we're coming back into this and it's only one, one observation is Hendrick isn't the same player I watched at Derby, certainly a weakness down the right

[CountryRoyal]

I hope Ince doesn’t think this lull is us growing into the game. Utd have sat back but make no mistake they’re in total control.

Bring on NGW and Fornah. We have nothing.

[Snowflake Royal]

They're not the best finishers are they.

[CountryRoyal]

That first 20 minutes was probably just about the best I’ve ever seen at this level.

We need to be sharper than we were for the last 15 or so, just little things but we’re off the pace.

[Zip]

We are still un the game. Just Fornah needs to come in for either TMac or Hendrick.Make the sub at half time please
United should really be out of sight.

[Snowflake Royal]

I hope Ince doesn’t think this lull is us growing into the game. Utd have sat back but make no mistake they’re in total control.

Bring on NGW and Fornah. We have nothing.

50/50

We have got better and started competing better, but they have also eased off.

Loum finding this quite surprising doesn't seem ready for how much they were bossing the game and pressing / tackling.

[YorkshireRoyal99]

We've taken a bit of a battering in the first half there but, whilst the score remains 1-0, we can take confidence and belief in knowing we could get something out of the game.

Agree that Fornah probably needs to come on and possibly even NGW at wing back as well. But if the game remains 1-0 and it's reaching the 75th+ minute mark, I'd consider taking a CB off, bringing Long on, going 4-4-2 and be brave to see if we can nick something from the game.

[windermereROYAL]

Why would they ease off when it`s only 1-0?

[Snowflake Royal]

Why would they ease off when it`s only 1-0?

Because they're in control and that intensity is incredibly hard to sustain.

[Brogue]

We are dangerous from set pieces. The longer it stays 1-0 the bigger the chance we have. Need to win a few more corners/free kicks in the final 3rd

[NewCorkSeth]

Hendrick doesn't add much does he? Is his job to make us long for Ejaria?

[YorkshireRoyal99]

Why would they ease off when it`s only 1-0?

I think it's just a natural element really, seen as they aren't chasing a goal to win them the game, as they are already winning.

I wouldn't anticipate them to sit back and protect what they've got, but they won't be throwing the proverbial kitchen sink for a goal either, particularly the longer the game goes on.
