First time this season on a match day thread. I’d only missed one game before today. Thought I’d logged onto a Blades board with all the bed wetting going on. Going to be a tough season for sure, but even tougher if the fans behave like melts every game. No idea how Luca didn’t let that run across his body to his right foot though.

Who do you think you are coming on here being all sensible and normal.

You've nailed it. I don't understand why so many people come on here to moan at the people who gave us our best season for years. Enjoy the ride of signing youth with real worldie potential.

Roberts looking out of his depth again unfortunately.

We really did need 2 new full backs in the summer.

Looks very likely the 3 newly promoted clubs are going straight back down. Even Tim Sherwood is talking about a “huge gulf in class” between us and the Bees.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:41 pm

Roberts a bit silly with that tackle.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:41 pm

Im struggling to remember such a horror show whilst we have been in the prem. I mean we've taken hammerings but its been one of those days where literally nothing has gone right..bad decisions made etc.

It's fine lads, we can play Vitinho at Bournemouth next week.

Roberts is a decent player but genuinely has the IQ of a plank of wood, and not fancy wood either.

Some of my best friends are oak trees!

Decent CHAMPIONSHIP player, in fact, excellent.

He’s as out of his depth this season as he was when we got relegated though.

Some massive knee jerk reactions on here today!

But surely the alarm bells are starting to ring. Brentford without their main striker and with no home wins this season. It's these sort of games you need to draw away and win at home in order to stay in the PL.

More strangeness from Kompany

He’s another decent player that finds the step up to the Premier League a step too far. We have a few too many of those at present.

Only 5 if you include Foster that started today had anything to do with last season, that is the whole point.
I don't see any worldwide potential and we'll lose them all for dirt cheap when we get relegated.

Turns out we’re just as bad up front as we are at the back. Created some really good situations this half and cocked them all up badly.

This is quite simply a clusterf*ck. We were hopeful of picking something up today against a team a couple of places above us but we've been so so far off it

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:43 pm

Ric_C · Post by **Ric_C** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:43 pm

Not improving our full backs from last season and not signing a prem ready centre back has been baffling in the extreme

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:43 pm

Bruun Larsen is right to be annoyed. Once again he made a palpable difference. Didn't deserve to be pulled.

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:43 pm

Got to feel for Bruun Larsen there. Possibly the only player VK dislikes more than Muric

Seen Roberts carded for time wasting three times this season, today he pays the price. He's had a horrible start to the season.

Another to forget. We look pretty rudderless. I get the appetite to attack, but you need a foundation to do it. He simply has to sacrifice an attacking player for some solidity in midfield.

Calling for the manager to be replaced. Calling out our goalkeeper. Calling out the whole team! That’s knee jerk!
How do you know how our new players have been financed. Are you in the know about our spending abilities. That’s right you don’t, you’re the same as all of us.

It’s certainly not with money we have is it?

We don’t have any in reserve - that’s a fact. It’s all leveraged managing debt etc

It’s great when you’re a huge global entity or have a billionaire owner.

We have neither.

Can't disagree but didn't want to be all negative. From the longest no red card streak in top flight history to 3 reds before November.

Jeez I feel for Larsen. Kompany acts like he's shat in his bag.

Tbf you don’t know what we have and certainly can’t state any facts without seeing our accounts. Not sure if you have been following the takeover thread but there’s new investment into the ownership group of around 80m.
