For me, as soon as I saw McGoldrick and Sharp starting up front, I felt the game was up. How were they ever going to be enough to counter when we have no midfield?
Watched Bournemouth against them and they looked to get it into the space behind using some pace. WBA press high and are exposed there, we set up with a combined age of about 250 up front and zimmer frames so no chance of exploiting their weakest area,
Humping and pumping it to an incapable strike pair is clearly just Sheffield United DNA because Wilder and Slav have both done it, no matter how alien that has been for Slav previously.
Only bit of skill we’ve seen from any of our playersMain positive of the night - Freeman taking a man on in midfield, over on the right side.
Really.
Turns out 2nd half is the worst 45 mins. Fancy that.That is possibly the worst 45 mins I've seen in a long time. Worse than any of the tripe served up last season.
Players didn't want it, somethings not right, management maybe?Beyond embarrassing my mind goes back to the 3-0 defeat by Southend and we turned it around then so it’s doable but where to start god only knows we look like we’ve just met up in the park for a kick about instead of a professional football club
