First time I’ve seen anyone acknowledge that Dijksteel is dodgy on the ball under pressure. 

I think i’ve seen it mentioned a few times to be fair. Clearly seems to have massive issues on the ball though. Constantly passes back to lumley

Warnock got us a point against these just saying  😇

We play too much in front of teams. Counter quickly to the edge of their area stop and pass back until we give it to Lumley to whack up field.

Think we've managed to break well but lacking any sort of final ball or composure in the final 3rd. I prefer this than hoofball though. 

[SouthernSmoggie 4,242]

Hmm this has not been good. Lacking quality in several positions and getting bullied physically. Very lenient ref not helping at all. 

[TheJew 2,938]

Gotta say I was baffled at the time that we didn't bring Spence back and switch Jones to lwb... 

Then we brought Coulson back and I thought we had the lwb sorted. But then Coulson went out again. Coulson for me, couldn't be any worse than Taylor.

These 2 strikers are hopeless and Hernandez and Uche were far better options.

We still have Clumsley in goal.

Initially I thought maybe we did OK in January. Now I'm convinced with the exception of McGree, it was garbage.

Think the honeymoon period is over. Some odd player picks, must be a contract claus. Goal keeper is a liability and needs dropping. Sack the manager...( joke before i get kicked)

[Whoppy 593]

Crooks a big miss also. Not because McGree hasn’t been okay but we look quite a small powderpuff side without his physical presence

Let’s not start this

Dear Chris Wilder,

Please drop Joe Lumley

Ideally, bound and gagged in a burlap sack, into the River Tees.

Lots of love,

Denzel

P.S The Connolly/Balogun experiment clearly isn't working, you might want to do something about that.

P.P.S Opposition teams have also figured out Isaiah Jones. Just saying.

Frustrating half. We controlled the first 20, although Balogun seems to have brought the old 'try to walk it in tactic with him from Arsenal. 

I don't know how it wasn't a foul in the first few minutes when Jones got past his man and was through on goal. Should have been at least a yellow and a foul. 

Lumley is giving me kittens. Keeps running out into no man's land and wildly swinging for the ball. What I'd do for a Randolph! 

Must improve second half

Watmore became a bit part player when he signed Bolasie, Mendez-Laing and Kebano, he seems to have become the same here. No idea why, I rate him above our other strikers as much as I like Sporar.

Too late hahaha. Tongue in cheek though believe!

[Aphex_Boro 1,444]

Warnock acted like we were away at the Nou Camp circa 2011 vs these last time and they are absolutely cack 

[bmt 187]

Just when you thought the standard of refereeing couldn’t get any worse. Poor decisions for both teams in that half. 

[Lord_Moose 387]

It's a much harder game when we're playing against 12 men!
