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 the post.
Another penalty claim and a great header from Henderson which hit the corner of the goal frame meant The Blades could have had it. Ball was mostly in the Donny half.
Not sure where this Donny football was - I thought The Blades played the better stuff, mixing it up really well.
It's a concern that Monty went off at half time. Sounds like he might be out for a while. France filled-in quite well and I think Quinn plays much better in the centre than he does out wide. Davies had a much better game, so I'll forgive his previous two performances and put them down to him trying to settle in.
Better stuff, I thought, although large sections of the crowd disagreed.
Blades 1 - Donny 1
