Sheffield Utd v Leeds Utd - MATCH THREAD - Hernandez still out, Roberts in for Rodrigo

[John in Louisiana]

Their keeper keeping them in this..

Both keepers keeping their teams in this.

Meslier has been outstanding.

[The Subhuman]

Good half which we edged for me. Klich top quality again both going forward and in defence. Costa also having a good one. Ayling has given the ball away two/three times in defence that lead to the better SU chances but has looked good around their box. Melier probably our MOTM up to now with Klich and Costa close behind.

Think Kalvin and Paddy were off their games a bit first half

[Finnatic]

Reasonably comfortable half if slightly annoying.
Their two chances came from us initially losing the ball or mis-passing.
We are slightly off it in the final third.

[1964white]

3 fantastic saves from the keepers

[mothbanquet]

Subs may be the key here.

[The Subhuman]

3 fantastic saves from the keepers

4 surely

[mothbanquet]

This is like being back in the Championship though. The Blunts may be in trouble if we win this one, these negative tactics won't save them without Henderson or better attackers.

[John in Louisiana]

There seems to be a predilection among referees to allow teams in possession to complete their possession in stoppage time no matter how far over the allotted time it runs.

The ref gave Sheffield nearly a full minute of time above and beyond the minute of extra time.

Yes, I understand the minute posted was the minimum the ref should award, but this was far from the most egregious example I've seen.

I think Brighton would agree with you...

[mothbanquet]

Couldn't help but notice that though the Blunts were exploiting the space left behind by Ayling, the major danger came from Cooper's area.

[Finnatic]

The game seems to be bypassing Roberts.
He needs to be more aware what’s going on, especially when one of their CB’s make that now famous forward run.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

been interesting ,just shaded it. giving the ball away to easily imo.

I agree and would like to see Rodrigo on to start the second half.

There is no seems to be about it, happens all the time in all leagues.

[YorkshireSquare]

Rodrigo on for Roberts

[HarryofOz]

Lovely strike by Costa

Right on cue!

[gessa]

You'd think with all the tactical nous, we could getsomeone to deliver a decent corner

[HarryofOz]

Good work Paddy

[HarryofOz]

I think we need something like the rugby league sin-bin for professional fouls. Yellow card is not enough of a punishment.
