We're in with a chance of winning this one.

Brownhill should score that really but it shouldn’t matter

GTFI!

Brownhill shoots from half way but wide...missed open goal!

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:31 pm

Would be interesting to hear what Tim Sherwood has to say. Are they unfortunate and clearly the better side?

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:31 pm

Really hope we give JBG one more year.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:32 pm

Berge has been at his imperious best.

A quarter of our goals this season have come against this lot ha ha

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:32 pm

Currently only 4 behind Luton on goal difference.

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:32 pm

Brownhill ought to score then had time.

Grbic is a bit of a Poundland Muric isn't he

Assignon outwits himself there

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:33 pm

Well well... late surge to safety, lol?

As delightful as this is in one of the worst seasons ever, it's also rather maddening to think where we'd be at 5pm today if we'd not dropped 4 unnecessary points in recent games....

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:33 pm

JBG so close. A great effort hits the woodwork following some lovely play.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:33 pm

If Sheff Utd don’t sack Wilder before they start next season, they will be lucky to finish top half. Total busted flush.

123EasyasBFC · Post by **123EasyasBFC** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:34 pm

The sort of finish we really haven’t seen enough from someone with JBGs ability

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:34 pm

Oh goody!

What a strike. How unlucky!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:34 pm

It's not about recent games
Unfortunately this has happened too much throughout the whole season

So unlucky JBG, tremendous effort

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:35 pm

JBG is such a classy player, even with his pace gone. Really think a De Bruyne style central role would get another year or two out of him

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:35 pm

Gudmundsson!

Goal of the season contender if that goes in. Classy technique.

I can't make my mind up on him. He's a whinging misery but sort of straight talking, which I always appreciate.

Mouth watering getting back to demolishing Championship shite (like these) week in week out.

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:36 pm

How deluded is Osborn? Deliberately fouled Assignon and then pleading for a decision because he got a hand in the face.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:36 pm

I mentioned pre-match about Osborn being out of position. 3 of our goals down the right.

I don’t mind him as a bloke at all, but on a footballing level he’s done so poorly at every club since his first spell at Bramall Lane.

Wasn't he the one Pace alludes to in Mission To Burnley? It was Kompany or Wilder? Think we chose well.

Yeah, completely desperate stuff from him. Could have got a yellow for the foul and a yellow for gobbing off himself.

I was told the final three were Kompany, Wilder and Rooney (shudder).

Very late on Esteve. And high.

Brownhill is a very intelligent player.

Poulton-le-Claret · Post by **Poulton-le-Claret** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:39 pm

Muric should just stand on the ball and run the clock down to full-time, since Sheff Utd are showing no intent to close down.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:39 pm

3 goals up. 10mins to go. What can go wrong?

Foster down and looks hurt.

Foster hammy gone, it appears. Hopefully cramp.

Clever from Foster rolling on the pitch. Everyone does it too us.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:41 pm

Looks like Foster turned his ankle. I hope it's just that, at least.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:41 pm

Foster down. Managed to roll back onto the pitch for treatment. I'd be raging if I was a blade and the game wasn't already dead.

After last week, do we really want Muric to stand on the ball?

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Apr 20, 2024 4:42 pm

Brownhill is so much better in that attacking mid / '10' role and is, imo, still our best option there.

So much more tactical awareness and work rate for helping our press and get on to second balls; he should've been playing there from the first game.
