Sheff U vs Burnley Match Thread

People are keen to make changes when we’re 2-1 up. I can see Barnes coming on for Bastien at some point though.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:29 pm

In an ideal world I'd like to see Bastien closer to Tella, but considering the pressure he's probably needed further back.
Cat hing them on the break seems to be working atm, so I don't expect any changes. I'd still like to see Taylor and Roberts introduced, but can't see it happening early

Balls in our box will be the Sheffield Utd mantra for 2nd half. Keeper giving back 4 the jitters!

Cracking game though, certainly doesn't feel like we have seen the last of the goals. We have so much talent it's frightening. So good to watch, even when we aren't well on top of the game.

Love comments like this. Let's wrap the game up with the next goal.

Personally i won't bring Taylor on for Bastien , maybe JBG to assist Vitinho and allow Benson to keep running them ragged .

Brilliant half from Clarets, in no danger other than corners, throw ins etc

ClaretPete001 · Post by **ClaretPete001** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:33 pm

This is a new formation and we do look a bit all over the place. We could do with some of SDs two banks of four but at the moment we look to be better on the ball, quicker and more dangerous in front of goal.

If Muric can stop the fly swatting and Cullen, Bastien and Cork can get a grip with the midfield then we should see this out.

Enda Steven’s is going to going to lose sleep tonight. Benson is destroying him.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:33 pm

This game feels like a play off final. Way too tense for just an ordinary game in November

Hopefully Stevens stays on the pitch for the second half

Barnes could be the answer as the missing target man. This post could age terribly

I like Muric BUT...he needs to man up bossing his 6 yard box...it's not a though he hasn't got a massive physique.
His decision making on crosses is pretty woeful.
I just hope he improves.

It's hard to jump when you're being blocked from your run. You should get off his back, and take a look at how many headers we've won. We're also slow to react to the second ball, Nick would struggle behind this defence.

I’ve never been on his back (though you’d think he was giving me a piggyback with some of his work in the six yard box) I’m simply saying what I see.

He isn’t helped by the zonal marking, but equally, the defence isn’t helped by a keeper that can’t decide when and when not to come and invariably fails to get decent contact when he does.

Defensively, we’ve a lot of work to do.

And there we go.

Just can't defend.

FFS. same again.

Corners - crosses - long throws. We do struggle

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:39 pm

So weak.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:39 pm

Same again, no reaction to the second ball, they do and score

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:40 pm

And that's exactly why I said we need changes despite winning at HT.

It won't last long if you can't defend your box.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:40 pm

Just the start to the 2nd half we didn't want.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:40 pm

THB at fault there for me - left McBurnie after the initial ball.

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:41 pm

Sure McBurnie elbowed him there

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:41 pm

They look like scoring with every set piece.

Boss Hogg · Post by **Boss Hogg** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:42 pm

There might as well have been no defence for their goal. Awful defending

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:42 pm

McBurnie is a proper creature.

They also look like dirty b@stards, and we have to learn to deal with this sort of stuff

Two free headers in the box.

We have been spoil with Pope, Tarky and Mee. The 3 replacements are just not in the same league unfortunately.

Cullen 100% going for the ball there.

Who do we bring on as the impact sub today?

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:45 pm

For all the credit the manager has built up, his obvious blind spot is the defence. We’re just a team full of short arses.

Brownhill has been a miss this game

So many posters (incorrectly imo) wanted Derv to start. So guess him.

They were never going to be and they don't need to be.

That's not why we can't defend.

It's because the team as a whole are far too small and lightweight.

Which is odd when he was one of the best defenders of recent years
