“A truly disgusting performance in which we offered very little.”
“The press from Sheff Utd is a lesson for us. That’s not talent. It’s effort, togetherness and tactical approach.”
“Sheffield U should have scored 5”
“As poor as we have looked defensively, Sheffield United looked like they could score at almost every opportunity.
They still need a couple of new additions to bulk out their squad but their starting 11 is one of the best in the division this season for sure”
“Absolutely awful -could and should have been more than 2-0 .That’s 6 league defeats on the trot and no goals.Sheffield were allowed to be good with so many new signings”
“SU are a poor PL side but the distance between them and us is just vast.”
“Considering that we have been so outplayed it is crazy that we only lost to 2 quirky goals!!”
“Tough to stomach. I didn’t expect a result tonight but I did expect the basics in effort and application. “
“They took the piss out of us”
” got the piss taken out of us”
“Chris Wilder redefined 352 and how it’s played and even he has dropped it for 4231. Yet the pillock in the dugout and the pillock in the directors box think it’s anything other than league 2 level “
“I don’t think that performance was absolutely terrible, it was just the typical lacklustre, get our bellies tickled we’ve come to expect.
A lucky deflection which fair enough, he’s took a shot, bought a ticket and won the raffle. But then a horrendous mistake to kill the game at a crucial time when we were actually coming forward.
They looked like the better side in possession, which they are, man for man that’s a frightening side. But they didn’t carve us open which I expected. Moore didn’t really have a sniff and then we go and throw it away so carelessly.”
“Great start but let’s face it it’s what we all expected it could and should have been 4-5 nil”
“That lad Brooks was quality for them (unfortunately)”
“Arblaster & Brooks / Burrows defending was excellent for them”
“I had BBC Radio Sheffield commentary who were very fair but embarrassed by our performance.”
“Embarrassing, we lack motivation commitment, enthusiasm, energy, strength, determination,leadership.
All these can be trained ,coached, instilled into the players, yet we are bereft of any.
Yes that was embarrassing, a virtually empty Deepdale at the final whistle except for the away end,with boo’s ringing out from the three home sides from those left inside Deepdale.
For the good of this Great and Proud Football Club RL has to go now.”
“Christ even the Sheffield Utd fans on their forum are saying what a shit team we are and what a shit manager “
“Funniest thing is Sheff Utd look bang average. Cant believe that”
“I don’t really mind losing to Sheff Utd. They are better man for man and the managers aren’t even in the same league ability wise…but it’s the manner of it. “
“I’ve seen alot more frightening sides come down from the Prem “
“Sheffield United won’t feel like they played well this evening.. we have been truly awful..
“”sheff Utd had more spent on 1 player than our whole team. “
“Sheffield United: Hamer and O’Hare are going to be a filthy midfield partnership, how has Kiefer Moore fluked his way into that team? The football is so neat and tidy”
“” Suppose that’s the kind of luck you get when you buy the league””
“Whiteman is just a shocking player, captain my fat arse”
“After sixty years of following this club I’ve learned to smell a relegation season and this is definitely giving off a strong whiff!”
“In all my years watching North End (53 yrs) I have never experienced the level of booing from the home fans at the final whistle !”
“Danny Baker still doing own goals and gaffs?”
” Suppose that’s the kind of luck you get when you buy the league”
