Another fussy ref. He’s itching to get his cards out.

Reed is a better fit at right back considering he played there for the entirety of last season for Norwich

Never seen him play there so can't comment just saying what is happening

[AdamRochina]

Discussing streams is banned on here. Maybe you should take that kind of enquiry over to Facebook...

Willams playing well so far. I like him as a centre back. Looks more comfortable playing there

[Doaksie]

If things continue on an upward trajectory for us over the next season or so, Sheff Utd look like how I hope we will in 2 years time.

Very organised and fluent.

 

[DE.]

Under the cosh at the moment. Sheffield Utd have a lot of space on our right hand side.

[Gogger]

Out matched in all areas at the minute. We cant keep the ball on the ground, and all the long balls from Lenihan and Williams are very poor.

[AdamRochina]

being slaughtered at the minute, best team at ewood so far this season up to now, they look very good, we cant even get an attack going, graham and dack not in the game at the minute, smallwood sloppy evans and reed doing a decent ish job, williams solid,  bell an outlet but armstrong for me is letting us down his passes and decisions seem lacking

[Oldgregg86]

The biggest problem is Evans and Smallwood's inability to link the attack. Defensivly I don't see to many issues with them. We just need that bit more in the middle and it would really transform this team 

[DE.]

This is tough to watch. We're being battered. Need to calm things down and stop giving the ball back to them. 

[Bbrovers2288]

Poor so far, very poor

[LDRover]

We're doing well to stay in this game

[DE.]

Armstrong busy on the left, trying to make things happen. Haven't seen much of Dack or Graham yet. Graham's won a few headers high up the pitch but hasn't had any runners to head back to.

[DE.]

Looking better now. Weathered the pressure and have started pushing forward a bit. 

[AdamRochina]

smallwood off for rodwell or rothwell for me at the break, need a ball player in the middle, only one winner in this at the moment

sheff united so close, sort it out rovers jesus

Subs will be needed tonight.  We will be fooked by the last 10 mins.  Normal last minute goal to come?

no chance, sheff united have come so close about 3 times now,  we look very poor tonight

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

I'll be very surprised if Smallwood comes out second half.  Been bloody awful

No chance what?

[DE.]

We're still too open defensively. Giving Sheff Utd opportunities to work themselves into the box and shoot. Need to try and get tighter. Part of the problem is that we're extremely slow on the break. There's so little pace in the team that when we win the ball back in our own half Sheffield United are already completely back into a defensive shape by the time we get it into their final third. Sometimes we don't even get that far and give the ball away. Some of that comes down to Smallwood. Our players seem reluctant to pass to him as he keeps giving possession away. This is obviously a problem when he's supposed to be one of the links between defence and attack.

they will need to score a 90th minute goal, they will be 2 or 3 up by then if we continue like this

Don't think it is us looking very poor, more that Sheffield looking decent and we are combating them
