And that goal is a result of yet another piss poor pass into midfield from defence.

Still don't understand how Baldock wasn't sent off. Two feet and above the ball?

What on earth is ayling doing INthe back of the net? At very least he should be ON the line. Even better would have been marking the player at the back instead of running away from him. PP defending

Comfortably the better side, should have at least two goals, Blades provided 0 threat theb sloppy defending and goal.

Happens so often.

And Ayling is a crap defender, gives away so many free kicks, out of position so often, passing is poor.

And wtf is ge standing in the goal for?

But cant criticise Ayling

Just wish we would learn how to hang on to the ball, we lose possession far too easily.

Too lackadaisical after we took the lead. Still had chances to go further ahead, but not enough sustained pressure on them.

That’s why one goal lead is never enough. We should have scored 3 goals but when we don’t this is always bound to happen.

I said countless times he's a poor defender. I don't know why we're not looking for better.

Very good half spoiled by loose defending at the end.

Lovely set up for Harrison's tap-in. Plenty of quality chances. Just need to keep doing the same in the second without the lapses and we'll be fine.

Would have been nice to see stats of how often Harrisson fumbles with the ball and gives it away.

Ayling is never a good option when we need 3 CBs.

Even against a team as goal shy as the Blunts I was right in saying that we wouldn't keep a clean sheet in my score prediction.

I hope the club don't sign Harrison permanently in the summer - an upgrade is needed there.
