Sieves

Been busy, so a late blog this time round. Blades played OK on Saturday apart from having no defence. May as well play one at the back in a 1-6-3 formation. Would be just as effective. Not seen Quinny's "goal". I thought he couldn't have been offside, but haven't seen it back on the TV. We just need a win. In a few weeks there are loads of players back from injury, so we just need to ride out this bad patch and rebuild. Got my free shirt (from renewing my season ticket). Limited edition (of 23 million?) and has every player's name on it. Will be useful to read on those dreary games. Surprise, surprise, our next home game against Newcastle is on TV (Toon TV - how many games of theirs haven't been on TV? 3? 4?). Sieves 3 - Cardiff 4

Rock?

I can't bring myself to comment....I'm not sure what's going wrong..... Hopefully Saturday's game against Cardiff will bring some joy, or at least some points! Blackpool 3 - Blades 0 :-(

Don't want to say much about Saturday's result. Sounds like we were awful. I know we had a team of invalids out there. We only had 6 subs. Should try one of the kids up front, just to give us some vain hope. Scunthorpe 3 - Blades 1. :-( At least our scoreboard works....

Green Shoots?

I don't think The Blades are in a recession of form, but Ipswich did seem to be pretty poor. Saturday's draw to Donny showed signs of better things to come. Some of the crowd and callers to Radio Sheffield must have been to a different game, because on another day we'd have won 3-0. Donny scored with their first real exploration into United's box. Poor defending by Morgan I thought, but it was a cruel deflection in the end. Don't think they showed that on "Action Replay" on the big screen. Some people booed The Blades off. Again, not sure what they were seeing that I didn't. Little looked quality, Cresswell had a good chance straight after the goal, only to be denied by a good save. Second half, Blades kept up the pressure. Thought we could have had a penalty, but I'm possibly a little biased. Then, the ball ran for Little after a determined challenge, an absolute peach of a cross, and Cresswell nodded in at the back post, taking a hefty whack from
