Utterly painful to listen to. Would be feeling like I had been mugged if I had paid good money to be there.
I was gunna go but didmt fancy it. Too expensive and thought we would lose. Hope chinese fella buys us this week and go from there
I'd have been furious if I'd paid £32 and given up half of my day to watch that *****. I feel mugged enough by just listening on the radio.
I know we shouldn't entertain kneejerk reactions after a defeat but I am going to anyway. If things don't very quickly get a lot better than that then we are going down. I know the side needs time to gel and we have players to come back. But on the basis of that pathetic showing, we have an enourmous amount of improving to do to just give us a chance. I can't say too much because I wasn't there but I can't recall ever listening on the radio to a game that sounded so one sided. I feel relieved that it wasn't 6-0. It seemed like it could easily have been so
Sheffield United weren't great at all, but they could pass it along the ground. Something we couldn't do.
I agree. I know listening on the radio isn't the same as being there but we sounded absolutely woeful today. To show no passion in a local derby is unacceptable. Even our own commentator (Parker) was critical.
We weren't over run at all It wasn't that one sided from 30 mins onwards which is from when I got the stream from. We were just very poor, they were marginally better
It was dreadful. Never have I been to Bramhall Lane and seen a Barnsley side so uncompetitive and uncaring. It was painful and embarrassing. One that will stick in the memory for the wrong reasons for a long, long time.
Some right OTT reactions in here. And from folk who didn't even go. Nearly as daft as the ones posted after we won our last game. Chill, Winston. Wasn't the end of the world when we lost to Ipswich, it isn't today either. The game.... First off, we were *****. Like, really *****. But not through lack of effort or graft or bad attitude. We couldn't pass the ball, especially in midfield. Defence were ok pass wise, but if any other player has a pass completion rate above 65% I'll be amazed. And the frustration was that the poor passes came just as that particular pass might well have damaged the opposition. Or it was poor touches. A player dallying, a player thinking he had more time. They were just not at the races. And aye, that's not good enough. But we lost 1-0. We weren't hammered. Despite being so poor. There were chinks of light for me second half. I felt Pinnock looked good and Potts looked better in a two. It's a game of patience for us this season. I believe we will be ok, we will get it right. United look a proper 'team' by the way. Hate the club. The way they cheered Evans on as though he was Christ resurrected. The handball claim every time. The time wasting. The amount of luck that went their way. But honestly, Wilders a good manager, good bloke and got a team there that will be ok. They've finally realised how to prosper. Stevens at left back was something else and I liked Brooks when on. Their wifi though was *****. Onto the next one. Keep the faith.
Hecky's summary is bang on for me. Totally down to the lack of "experience". Been listening to Praise or Grumble. Doh. Numerous dim wit Blades phoning in professing them to be world beaters. They need to get real. They are nothing special..
