S-Clarke Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I reckon there are at least 6 championship teams better than Sheffield United, they've got a worse squad this season than they had in the Championship last season. The most pointless promotion in the history of football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Two debuts, two 5-0 defeats. Poor Mason, I'm sure it's not his fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he's gonna play a pivotal role in yet another 5-0 defeat. The question is - would it have been worse had he stayed on the pitch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I thought Holgate was a good standard of player to bring in to fight for places, and give depth across the back. Clearly took time to get up to speed, with some less than great decision making. And, with everyone else doing well, rightly slipped down the pecking order. By the time he left, I wasn't that alarmed with his involvement. Today's challenge showed no thought whatsoever, about the game in front of him, or the impact on his team. To do it, when they are fighting for every point, and get suspended. Wilder may be looking at other options he can trust there. I don't begrudge him looking for minutes. But he's not made the best of impacts at 3 clubs this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might perform okish at an also-ran in the Champ or top of L1, but there is no way I'd have trusted him with our promotion hopes. Thank god we no longer have to 'count' on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I thought Maintland-Niles would also offer some versatility and cover too. It just takes me a while to realise that, just because a top level club signed/ kept them, doesn't mean they aren't deadwood. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) What's the game come to when the ref thinks that was a foul, he got the ball. The Brighton guy made the most of it and should have been booked for simulation. He'll probably walk again, it didn't even break his thigh bone - modern players need to man up. And woman-up. 😎 Edited February 18 by rallyboy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked and clumsy isn’t another word for terrible, awful, dire or stupid. What really got me was the way he was protesting to the referee when he got a yellow when he should have been thanking his lucky stars! I’m can’t stand VAR but that is a perfect example of how it should work, the ref makes clear and obvious error the TV picks it up and quickly corrects the on field decision.

Yes a the sheer anger of his team mates, at half time and still at the end of the game. It must be more frustration than anger, but it should not be allowed. VAR did work correctly on this occasion.

trousers Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I've still got the words of my Everton supporting brother ringing in my ears when we signed him on loan: "He's a League One level player at best. Always got an unforced error in him. A liability" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
