Morecambe 0-1 Blades

“Sheff Utd have good cup pedigree in the last 2 years but it looks like it cost them in the league, the manager must be under huge pressure to get them up this year “

“good game of football. Their keeper looked dodgy”

“Gutted.
We battered them. Absolutely played them off the park.”

“Sheff United 21 attempts Morecambe 13 attempts…. Doesn’t sound like we battered them to be honest “

“We were by far and away the better team.
With a bit more help from the dodgy liner on the North Terrace side (who was a spitting image of Carl Baker) we’d be in Round 2 now. “}}

“We more than matched them and I’d say we created more and better chances. Who collates the BBC stats? Great game to watch, some great football from us. Very unlucky and cruel on us at end. We need to be more clinical in front of goal, as we were in pre-season, but if we continue to perform like we do, some team is going to get a hammering. “

“Played some neat football but we didn’t take our chances when on top. In the second half they came into it, but created little other than their goal. Another disappointing result in a cup but far from a disgrace.”

“At times we were exceptional tonight, I thought Devitt was superb in the first half and we played some fantastic football. But we are not taking our chances, and players seem afraid to shoot, always looking for that extra pass.
Losing Wildig was a huge turning point in the game, though they did come out much stronger second half. “

“Gutted ! Brilliant team performance again but all means nothing if we can’t take our chances. Devitts being the worst in the final 6 minutes shouldn’t be passing the ball that close in on goal ! “

“If thats the standered of football in leage 1, We have nothing to fear next season after promotion.”

“ I got talking to some Sheffield United fans whilst walking home.
They were furious at their teams performance tonight. “

“We had more ball than at Hartlepool but failed to create really telling chances despite looking good on the ball again. We more than deserved extra time though”
