BLADES 3-0 LINCOLN
“Welcome to the Championship haha. Fair play to Sheffield United better team on the day.”
“Well that was a miserable experience”
“It was a hard watch! Seriously though it shows you cannot pick a watered down version of last year’s L1 team and hope to grind out a 1-0 win every week. It’s just not going to work”
“Miles off it today & we know we can’t be a team that has an off day and can get away with it.”
“played like a League 1 team since HT and the score and performance reflects that.”
“Play league one players, get beaten by championship teams. Not hard to see”
“Such a flat performance second half – great strikers goal by Bamford just before HT and that gave Sheff Utd the impetus and confidence to step up. We went into our shell and allowed them to dominate. No quality at all. Have to say I’m really disappointed with the performance today. “
“That goal before half time killed us. Prior to that it was just 2 poor looking sides.”
“Sheff Utd must be the worst team we’ve played this season. What an opportunity to move the team on from last season.”
“Glad that’s over. Disappointing performance against a mediocre opposition that were just that bit sharper in the box. “
“Sheffield weren’t that much better than us but when you’ve got Bamford and Chong they can produce moments that change games. Welcome to the Championship.
The atmosphere was also a bit odd today I thought. 27k there but they were very quiet. A bit surprised also a lot of the 617 went home after they scored their third.”
THAT is the difference. What a chance for us. We must be more clinical in the box. That falls to Bamford and it’s in the back of the net.”
“We had an ideal chance to take the lead early in this game and put a dent into the confidence of Sheffield and to also turn the home crowd into frustration but when you don’t take your chances the game slips away. Sheffield took their chances and started the second half looking to extend their lead and deservedly found it.”
“before the season started we all knew we’d get battered sometimes. Every team we’ll play bar Bolton probably will have better players than us, we will lose most of the time.”
“No need to panic and games like this will happen but it does show the work we need to do imo.!”
“Well it’s been a difficult game but we always knew results like this were likely this season. I don’t think we learned anything new but we did confirm some things. Simply put, the starting 11 today will be a relegated team if we stick with that lineup.”
“I think we all expected occasional results like today. My concern is if we get similar results against West Ham and Millwall, it will set us off on a really bad run. And the pressure will then really be on from our fans, many of whom are not used to losing streaks.”
“I always felt this stupid three week break would do us more harm than good.
I hope it won’t but it could be the start of a disastrous run.”
“I must say this is the kind of result and performance I was afraid of before the season began.”
“We have nothing up top and not much in the middle. If we also stop defending we will get battered like today every week. Or worse.”
We all expected to get hammered from time to time in this division. The key will be to shake it off and move on. Next game looks daunting but also a great opportunity.”
“This needs to improve and quickly else we will be looking over our shoulders soon.
Let in two soft goals today but that can be forgiven as overall we’ve been strong at the back. Offensively we’ve been shite.”
“Watershed moment today. Last years League one team minus moylan and darikwa will not survive in this league. If some of the loan and purchased players are not integrated quickly then it will be another rebuild in January because you can guarantee all 5 outfield loans will be recalled by their parent teams because the dream and promises they were sold is not happening.”
“That’s enough now! Why are we paying for players that don’t play. This is beyond a disgrace. If the coaches don’t trust the players that have been brought in, then we don’t even have a model.”
” The game was there to be won.”
“We are doing much right, with one glaring exception. And today we fell asleep a couple of times at the back to boot.”
“We will experience poor results. But we must, absolutely must, stick behind our players and our club. We cannot pull them to pieces – we may need to change starting line up, tactics, subs but there is no room for attacking our players and club.
Come on you Imps !!!!!!!!!!!! “
