Play well or play badly, we still don't get any points
Frustrating game as the Blades had great chances, hitting the crossbar/post, forcing an incredible save from a Monty long-range rasper, having one cleared off the line and having a couple of good chances inside the box.
Blades were in charitable mood, gifting the foxes an early goal by not marking anyone and having a keeper stood two miles off his line allowing a tame lob to nestle in the back of the net.
They then picked it up a bit. Joe Mattock at left back didn't look very good, but was getting a harsh reception from the Leicester fans (not sure what the history is there). We he got stretchered off, they were still giving him abuse which was pretty much disgraceful. The stadium announcer piped up, saying "I'm sure all fans wish Joe a speedy recovery." Shameful.
Once crab eyes got into his stride we started to look better, creating chances and were unlucky not to get in at half time level.
The second half continued in the same vein, with Blades dominating, creating good chances, but sadly not converting. Ched Evans was unbelievably superb. Someone must be getting through to him. Sadly, Bent didn't support him well enough, so it was a relief when Boggy finally came on. The new lad in midfield (Doyle) didn't look much cop and when Yeates came on, he didn't take his chance. He looked like he was playing in tennis shoes, and managed to kick a corner straight out (dreadful, honestly).
Blades really deserved three points, but came away with nothing. I think that we will struggle to get any points together as the players can't keep giving their all like that and getting nothing back. We urgently need a first win under Adams. We have three or four winable games coming up (all games are winable in this poor division). Even Sheff Wendy's 5-3 defeat didn't lift me too much.....
Defence still looks shakey. Ertl is trying is best back there and I think will become a crowd favourite as he gives 100%. Lowry needs more experience and didn't look comfortable. Perino has his moments, good and bad.
Blades 0 - 1 Leicester
