Matchday Thread: Sheffield United v Port Vale

[Santa]

I do worry that we've flattered to deceive a bit this season. Our lack of strength in depth is also worrying. Turner has leapfrogged Cicilia in the pecking order. What's the situation with Shalaj? We signed him in August. It's now mid October.

Lets just play when we are away!!

I think we would all have been chuffed with 7th at this stage bearing in mind the upheaval in summer. Let's get behind the lads on Tuesday Sheffield United had nearly 20,0000 there today, five times our crowd, five times our income. They will be there at the top at the end of the season and I still believe we will be as well. Keep the faith.

To a man we were absolutely abysmal today. We couldn't keep hold of the ball and we had no intensity when they had the ball throughout the match. A complete and utter waste of a day.

We really need some power up front to hold the ball up there and take the pressure off the defence. It just doesn't stick and keeps coming back time after time, which means we're constantly on the defensive.

 

Paterson isn't that player. I thought Cicilia could be, but he isn't. Forrester is good at it but has been out for a while.

One of our problems is we try to do everything slowly, no urgency, MK let us last week, Sheff Utd didn't, they bullied us and controlled the game from start to finish. 0-4 flattered us today.

Just hope they stay in a hotel when we play Bolton.

Dreadful performance. If offered 3 points from the two away games I'd have taken that vey happily but there's a way to lose games and that wasn't it as we didn't lay a glove on them.

[Class personified]

I'd play Turner and Jones down the middle. Thomas to replace Hart if fit or Shelaj if he isn't. That will give us more mobility upfront. Amoros had an excellent game today should be the holding player. I would put Grant as the most forward thinking midfielder as I suspect Foley, who had a good game today won't be fit for Tuesday or next Saturday. I'd try Periera in a midfield role which is his natural position and let's see if he can contribute.

Three points from two away games isn't a bad return with this week's home games to come.

Their fans said last week that they had had a shaky start with new players gelling, but had now settled down, very prophetic.

Our target is the POs, not like theirs which is the top position or at least promotion, whereas we have not the depth of squad either, nor the gates and budget they have.

There's one at the ground, in the away end.
