“Well we now have the answer to the question ‘yes but can we do it on a cold, wet, Tuesday night in Sheffield’ I suppose.”
“Another disappointing performance albeit against an efficient Sheffield Utd team.”
“Credit to Sheffield United, they’ve played well and been ugly all at the same time. The quality on that bench shows you all. Have scored 3 in the last 4 games”
“Sheff Utd will be top 6 come the end of season.”
“Fair play to Wilder, we saw it again and again that he knows how to attack a weakness in the opposition (I vividly remember the game at Bradford where he outclassed Parkinson)”
“Men against boys ,we deserve to go down”
“The quality on Sheff Utd’s bench is outrageous and that’s without Phillips even being in their side.
“
“I think tonight has been slightly more encouraging. We’ve broken with a bit of pace, and been well organised. Can’t fault the attitude. But ultimately, we’re just not quite good enough for this level”
“We gave it a bit of a go, and I’ve seen worse from us. But still looked to be at least a league between the two sides.”
“A distinct gulf in class tonight”
“Let’s not get carried away with the gloom. They smashed Ipswich at home too.”
“It is really hard watching us. I am angry tonight.
We were so poor in all areas and I feel for those who paid good money to travel to Bramall Lane. They were all robbed.”
“Brilliant support up there tonight, proper Yellows who are the true representation of this club. Mistakes get punished brutally in this division, we will go nowhere if we don’t eradicate them fast, but we’ve known that for almost 2 years now”
“I won’t take this defeat to a decent Sheffield team in isolation, we’ve not had a chance to bed in the 7-8 players we’ve signed. But Bloomfield needs to prove something come May, particularly given how he’s been backed.”
“We’ve had 14 shots on target in our last 7 games. That’s 2 per game, of which most haven’t made the GK make a serious save. We’ve been totally negligent for far too long in terms of addressing the need of quality up front.”
“Don’t think we actually created a proper chance all game did we? Scored a goal from a fortunate ricochet in midfield, followed up by a horrific piece of keeping.”
“Yep Sheffield Utd have a load of good players but this season theyve been s**t, they lost 15 games this season, the same as us now. As for Coventry, theyve lost a 10 point lead at the top and seem to be struggling for form, despite having good players.”
“Just poor right across the pitch. The game is called FOOTBALL because it needs to generally be played to feet. So why the f*****g hell do we keep heading it? I fear for us and relegation now looks a real possibility. More performances like tonight and we will deserve it.”
“Well, that was a new low. It doesn’t tell us anything new, so I don’t know why I feel I need to rant now, but I do. Getting smothered like that and conceding 3 with that many defensive players with no answer at any stage in the game was a f*****g grim watch”
“They’re top of the league for the last 15 games which is more relevant than what happened early in the season under a different manager”
“they have now won, I think, 5 of their last 6 at home.”
“It feels like we are a shambles”
“I know that the gulf in ‘values’ is vast, but so is the level of skill. Once again we started off OK with some good work. Pressed well and robbed a few balls, took but couldn’t consolidate the lead. They equalised and we reverted to type and tried to defend a slender lead. It was almost as if they felt “right…we’re a goal ahead so we earned our money…let’s sit back and await the inevitable”. Sad.”
“Sheffield United really weren’t good, Wilder did a job on Bloomers tactically.”
“Ref is just as diabolical as Sheffield Utd’s discipline of their players. Dirty and arrogant”
“On the plus side, love island looks decent tonight.”
