All Blades, we've not got hold of the ball at all and seem content just to hoof it away when we do. Need to improve big time.
Potts and Moncur? They've not done much tbh. We've had a few nice bits of build up but, as usual in a game vs a Sheffield side, the final ball or touch has been cack.
I actually don't understand what Hecky saw in Potts. He wanted him and has played him every game since he came in. Clearly not up to championship football (yet). Would rather have bird, Kay, Mowatt or even bloody David Perkins in there. Marginally prefer him to Frimpong.
Moncur and Potts have still barely had a touch of the ball. Growing into it a bit now, few more nice pieces of build up from Hammill and Hedges but poor, poor final balls again either from Hammill or Bradshaw just then. Hedges is looking our biggest threat by a mile.

Very rare I'm glad I'm not at a game, but watching this is painful. Defensive against a newly promoted club just handed them the initiative at home. Bradshaw isolated. 4-4-2 Potts off, Ugbo or Thiam upfront. Woeful.
Utterly idotic from MacDonald, provocative from Clarke, red card for both the correct decision. Most exciting bit of the game so far. Pinnock for the next 3 games then. Edit: or Lindsay if he's fit
Totally agree. Poor from Hecky unless he thinks he can't yet trust the players to play a 442 and given the evidence of this game he can't trust any combination in the midfield.
Ref got the red cards right but at least 3 times we've won the ball clearly and had a foul given against us. Hammill booked for protesting the last one
