Sheffield United vs Blackburn Rovers: 29th December 2018

[Tugay's Right Foot]

With Smallwood suspended, at least we will get to see our exciting signing Davenport. Oh wait...

This is what we are up against though. Our own fans. The kind of people who can’t even spell ‘queue’ let alone ‘cue’.

One bright spot today - Wolves winning 3-1 at Spuds.

Any consolation in a crisis

Rather that they blow it late on in the season when they usually implode

40 goals conceded in 25 games, joint-3rd worst defence in the league. Even Bolton have conceded 8 less than us

Stats don't matter, man. It's Tony's eyes....

[USABlue]

Totally unbelievable.  Smallwood damn fool.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Football sucks at the minute

He brought on Dack ..ie our top friggin guy ..apparently ?  and Armstrong to kill ten man Sheff Utd ..meanwhile friggin Smallwood gets sent off ..

He went with a brave team who took the game to Sheffield United and then made unnecessary changes. You would think we were at man down at some point in that game such was the capitulation. We went from being in control to an absolute hammering and it was the result of the changes.

You certainly don’t bring off our main striker to bring on two number 10s. Mowbray went from brave to foolish in a very short space of time today.

It's not him. He's a symptom of a wider malaise

[G Somerset Rover]

Things can’t go on as they are - something has to change. We just implode one game after another.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Folk were in the main positive about today's team selection. We seemed to have held our own, they were down to 10 men. It seems Smallwood, and woeful substitutions (again), have done for us. I went to the Norwich game, first game I've been to this season. I was not impressed. Fitness seems a real problem, that and changes are down to the manager. 

He had a decent squad, and got us up. He appears ill equipped for life in this division.

Smallwood got sent off and then we went full Mowbray and collapsed entirely

What was he sent off for? 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We simply can't defend for Toffee,so soft at the back.Our coveted 'playboy' main Striker has also gone Awol...does not bode well.

Nowhere near good enough,the Manager and team need a kick up the arse and fast.

Grim stuff this.

Looks like going through their player and taking Bennett who was behind too

[Kie_BRFC]

Total commitment my arse

[Stuart]

Hull were below us in the table before today’s games.

We are too happy to accept failure because “teams are higher than us in the league”.

Some folk need to grow a pair.

[Bigdoggsteel]

What subs did he make? 

God 3-0, that's a drubbing from the position we were in. When I checked and saw 0-0 and an extra man, I had a feeling we would win 1-0. Christ this is getting annoying

Depends if we wanted to go for a win, played well for 70 mins but imo not a cat in hells chance of a goal coming. Dack a spark of creativity , rather Graham on than Armstrong but still an attacking threat. Palmer had played well but on a yellow, Brererton did ok but didnt look like scoring. 

The sending off changed the game not the substitutions in my opinion

I would agree about the sending off but it won't change anything.

[philipl]

70 minutes of solid hard work undone in under 15 minutes.

Terrifying thing about Rovers is the speed with which we collapse. 

Points to lack of character and strength in the playing staff again. 

Boy we need a leader on the pitch.

I haven't checked the table in a while. Don't want to. Are Hull ahead of us now? Fuck sake. What the actual fucking fuck 

[G Somerset Rover]

‘What did we expect in the past two games.’

’We focus on New Years Day’

God there are some morons on our social feeds.

[yellowsubmarine]

What's your excuse today Mr Nice Mowbray?

Diving in to a stupid tackle that he didnt really need to make taking both one of their players and Bennett? out
