There’s this thing called suspension.
He has a knock, I’m sure it was a 1 game ban and not 3

Very tough one to take that was! Piss poor officials have ruined that game and we deserved at least a point.
Shocking goal keeping error
Things are not going our way at all, massive game now on Monday where we need a positive result.

It’s 7.30pm in India and there is still no news.

I’ve been very critical of Diaz recently but him coming on as a sub in my opinion is a better option, he is clearly not fully fit and should be used like this for the remainder of games.
Diego Szmondics is a clear fan’s favourite at the min and his work rate is exceptional.

There is a video on YouTube taken from the away end which shows Brereton in all his cowardice.
It also has video taken from behind the gaol of the goal itself. Pears doesn't cover in any glory.
It's not the best quality but clear enough
The balls lands within the 6yrd box, Pears has to be claiming that rather than standing rooted in his line. BBD would be more use stood on the half way line

Brereton jumped out of the way of the corner.
Just go away you fucking shithead.
He did that all game with every ball in the air, even off throw-ins he just jumps out of the way of the ball.
He is 6ft + and then when the balls in the air he becomes 5ft 7- 1

Attack v Defence all game, superb to come back from 2-0 and a real spirited 2nd half!
How eager was that ref to end the game, constant time wasting all half and how they only decided it was 5 mins I do not know, score in the 91st and he blows bang on 95…awful ref
Also a positive how Leonard put himself about and was very unlucky not to score

So Fulham got a red card for less of a handball than the Sheffield United player did. Joke
How is that a Red for Willian but Robinson gets a yellow in our game! Joke these officials and VAR are! As the commentators said we played Yorkshire rules

Heartbreaking last 10 mins, didn’t deserve to lose that. Piss poor officials but I feel the negative substitutions cost us. Fresh legs up front and CM would have been better in my option.

He looked like a guy who hadn’t been in that position for a while - edgy.
Pears blasted it back to Pickering as if to say “;For fucks sake, you’re an outfield player, do something with the ball “.
What does my head in is when one of the players has an off day they all come out in sympathy.
The players should have seen that in the keeper and gone at him, but we didn’t and never created enough.
If you are blasting it back to your own player on purpose then that’s inexcusable, knock it to the half way line or beyond and then bollock Pickering.
I’ll be honest we were not up for it tonight, you have to be at it on a cold night in that shit hole and we simply weren’t.

Did you see him in the tunnel before the game ?
No I watched it live at the ground, what was the keeper doing?
On keepers did you see the massive air flap by Pears and then the smashed pass/drive back to Pickering in the first half. If anyone looked a bag of nerves it was ours. Can’t fault him in the last 4-5 games but tonight he made me very nervous.In general we were piss poor tonight

My favourite player is Dolan and I love his attacking flair but he cost us for the 1st two goals, switched off and didn’t fully track back. What pisses me off is our manager is on his wing in the 1st half and wasn’t telling him! He has to do this and for me that’s not acceptable to me. Let’s face it that performance was shit, the score line doesn’t reflect the performance, could and should have been a bigger defeat!
Bad day at the coldest ground in the world, hopefully results go our way tomorrow and we go again Rovers!

For me, Sheffield United ARE the dirtiest team in this league bar none. I agree 2 should have been sent off today(and at least one in the home tie with Spurs which I watched on t.v.).
I think our young lads play with no fear which is really exciting to watch(a bit like Fergusons Class of 92). You probably wouldnt get these explosive counter-attacks with experienced old stalwarts clogging the side up ;it would be just too slow.
Thought Dolan, Travis & Carter were all sensational today. Quality fitness levels.
A big shout out to the coaches at the Academy. They are clearly doing something right!
Says a lot about a team when their managers needs to stand in the stands for 3 games.

I’m just glad we held on because I think I would have exploded if we hadn’t, especially given them officials letting Basham off.

Great performance again, this has been a massive turnaround since January. I’ll admit I wasn’t confident with JDT and I love to be wrong!!
Come on Rovers

Gallagher and BBD would be just as terrible. Any combination of those players isn’t suddenly going to turn Sam Gallagher into a player, or Vale, or make Brereton play like we know he can. Brereton was clearly elsewhere last night. He’s definitely avoiding injury too.
Last night we had three defenders injured.
Just keep trying fly out of that window then pal…
2 wide players and Dack just off Gallagher or BBD is another option. All I’m saying is you have to try these things not just say they won’t work. Chucking Chris Samba up front for the last 10-15 mins of game changes things, shouldn’t really do it but it will change a game and put pressure on a team.

I'm saying that even if we played differently we'd still be lacking in goals, still concede goals and still play poorly.
It's a very poor squad with some decent players, and our only player capable of being a prolific goalscorer isn't giving it 100%.Who scores enough goals for us to be significantly better?
The problem is he never makes any significant changes in a game, his subs are like for like. Last night they had 2 defenders injured and we continued to approach the game the same, we never attempted to make changes which could have impacted the game.
We are short on quality up front but have never tried playing Gallagher and BBD as a front 2 with wide players. It’s like watching a fly trying to escape through an open window, never learns and keeps hitting the glass instead of going through the open window

He can't change things with that underfunded shambles of a squad.
I disagree, are you saying that the way we played last night is the only way we can play because it’s underfunded. I’m talking about the style of football, he can change things and go more expansive with what we currently have.
Dolan and Thomas on either wing a central striker or even 2 would be a significant positive change. But hay you can do that basic change without massive funding

You can argue they already haven't. That I find very frustrating - attracting people of his calibre to the club was hard enough, after this I imagine impossible.
I’d prefer see a coach who isn't scared to change things, having a proper go (attacking with intent) at home especially against a team who is bottom of the league, his calibre means nothing when we are churning out performances like this.

If the ref had given that pen at the end I certainly wouldn’t have been confident Diaz would of finished it

Thomas looks an exciting player, Diaz doesn’t look interested to me, I’d prefer see Dolan in his place.
Very tough to watch that was, the two opportunities we had towards the end of the game from free kicks summed this team/set up!

What a soft side that Leeds team are constantly diving and looking for pens, brilliant result and the game plan played to perfection.
Superb today!!!
