marbelladave Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Bloody hell thats pessimistic! Pretty even game overall I thought against Ipswich with use having quite a few chances. They were the better side into the second half and bringing King on for n'Gessan is hardly 'Shuting up shop' IMO. It was not the substitutions but the complete change in our ambitions that was disappointing. Instructions must have been given to hold what we had, it is the only explanation for the very defensive positioning of King, the niggly fouls and the blatant time wasting. At the point of the substitution the Ipswich counter attack was fading and we had a decent chance of all 3 points but we simply did not give it a go. That is what is disappointing! On other occasions we will fight hard and get a point against better opposition and I will be happy to applaud that effort but to give up trying to win a game we were capable of winning, with 20+ minutes remaining is just not good enough.
Steven Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 From the Sheff U OS. Blades v Leicester - confirmed teamsPosted on: Tue 18 Aug 2009 Coca Cola Championship Tuesday 18th August 2009, 7:45pm Saturday's impressive victory over Watford has prompted Kevin Blackwell to name an unchanged team for the home clash with Leicester City. The United boss keeps faith with starting XI that put Watford on the back foot from the first minutes of Saturday's win. Darius Henderson and Ched Evans start in attack with Jamie Ward and Keith Treacy adding ammunition from the flanks. United's bench the only change is Billy Sharp replacing Glen Little. For Leicester, Nigel Pearson includes striker Matty Fryatt, who was an injury doubt prior to the game. Blades: Bunn, Montgomery, Morgan, Kilgallon, Henderson, Evans, Taylor, Ward, Howard, Treacy, Walker. Subs: France, Reid, Cotterill, Bennett, Bromby, Sharp, Quinn. Leicester: Weale, Neilson, Brown, Oakley, Howard, Fryatt, Berner, Adams, N'Guessan, Wellens, Hobbs. Subs: Morrison, Tunchev, King, Dyer, Logan, Waghorn, Dickov.
StanSP Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Sheffield United are an alright team, but I don't think there's any player there we need to fear too much. Man for man, we can grind out a point for sure, and if they play well, we can snatch a win.Happy with a point though. Ched Evans is man to watch. Nevertheless, if Brown and Hobbs can give him a few tough challenges in first few minutes, it might 'scare' him a bit.
Ozwin Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Yes, glad to see Oakley in the middle from the start. Never been keen on him playing wide right.
carterfox90 Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 i will take a point for this one they are a bloody big team expect a lot of long ball stuff from them hopefully wellens & adams will dazzle them with skill c'mon city
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Gradel cant get in again. But Dickov is there so its all ok.
Jonezy Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 KOM SÅ LEICESTER!!! Dreading this one, hopefully in for a positive surprise... Well done Adams for forcing his way into the team with good performances.
flanimal Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Adams is an example to every player. Barely featured or impressed season before, went out on a loan, looked as though his time at Leicester waas going nowhere, then he grinds his way back in. Respect, man!

Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Is there any commentary online at all? Only through 'Player'.
Guest Bilo Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Posh a goal down already. I can see them leaking goals all season, so much for Kamara's prediction they'd get three promotions in a row.
