Why are we sitting off to let them shoot? Nobody tackling at the back at all.

Without Bamford to occupy their CB’s we’ve lost possession many times.
Rodrigo not up to the pace so far.

Felt a bit scrappy in the end that, but three points is three points!

First time all of our summer signings have been on the pitch together too.

A win is a win as they say. But an irritating performance for much of the game. Too casual and trying to be too clever too often.

Agree with all that, but Rod lacks game time at the mo. Hopefully he will get his mojo back

Comfortably the better side.

Sheffield United are turning into hoof ball merchants devoid of ideas.

We made such hard work of that though, should have been 5 -1 at least.

Poor finishing and sloppiness at times cost us though, our right hand side was always a concern with Ayling all over the shop all game.

Saw the best and worst of Harrison and Roberts, some quality passes and some dreadful ones

Rodders looked off the pace.

Llorente was a rock.

Raph was Raph but some careless moments.

Sheffield United wont win another game, i really do believe that.

Despite ourselves, we just about edged that... should have scored far more.

With that team selection, and that performance... I worry for us against Citeh.

Struijk/Koch has to come in for Cooper, who had his worst showing since the home leg of the playoffs against Derby. Klich in for Alioski, and maybe Pablo in for Roberts.

Ali was better than Ayling today.

The cult of Ayling wont allow that to be said though :roll: :)
