Go on I,ll start it off Think I,m gonna be more than depressed after this game.
Unless theres a massive change,Cant see us getting anything out of it If these players cant pass the ball creatively and be solid when we nor got the ball(which so far they have proved they cant) I Repeat from my previuos post.....Go 4-3-3 forget about midfield,lump if forward to madine and get 2 around himm....hate this type of football but what we doing/trying to do aint working DESPERATE time need desperate measures!!!!

After the last few performances, I am very worried about tonight’s match.
Let’s face it, Sheff Utd were miles better than us last season. I know that we won both home games (just) so maybe a bit of hope with history.
I hope than somehow the manager can devised a positive approach to this game. Please don’t play Madine on his own 20 or 30 yards away from his nearest colleagues. Don’t play Morais on the left.
I’ve been Googling a bit and have looked at the goalscoring abilities of the 6 forward players from Saturday over the last 3 years:-
2016/17 2015/16 2014/15 Apps Goals Apps Goals Apps Goals Derik 25 0 3 0 22 0 Pratley 4 0 36 1 22 4 Karacan 5 1 11 0 8 1 Noone 34 2 38 5 37 1 Morais 36 3 7 1 30 3 Madine 36 9 23 4 36 6
That adds up to 41 goals in 413 games between them. Not too hopeful is it. We are playing a team of non-scorers!
We must play 2 strikers be it Le Fondre or Armstrong up with Madine. I’d play both Le Fondre and Armstrong and not Madine which would force us to change our style of play but there’s no chance of that.
On Saturday, the manager set us up not to lose and failed. Let’s hope for some positive play, as against Sheff Wed, plus some proper solid defending.

My stats are not as good as yours davidm
Since we beat Peterborough we've played 8 games and conceded 16 goals, that's obviously an average of 2 per game, so it's fair to say we can rule out a clean sheet, but, we've managed 9 goals scored, although 5 of them were in the League Cup v Crewe and Sheff W
For me it's a 0-2 loss

7 games in. 4 at home. LLLL. Never been in a lead. Not scoring.
Ridiculous to think we don't have a squad to play better than this.
Why did he get that new contract?

So glad I'm in Cornwall and not having to endure this. My sympathies to those who went with hope tonight, you fools, even the wind and rain is preferable to that garbage.

No defeat can be a good defeat but that was a battling performance totally vindicating the manager's selection. It was a close game and could have gone either way. We were quite good with certain caveats. Had we had their keeper and they ours I think we'd have been the victors.
The goal we conceded was sloppy. Burke seemed to slip and conceded a corner under no pressure. Alnwick was lost on the far post and we were slow to the second ball. And a goal ensued.
Neither side fashioned a chance chance from open play. We escaped a carbon copy of the goal when Alnwick smothered a shot but that was just about it. Sheffield Utd were fit and strong and pressured us relentlessly and efficiently. That said Robinson first half and Little second made inroads on the flanks and we on some free kicks and corners . Their keeper domestic hated most in a way neither of ours can but a Morais free kick landing on the roof of the net was the closest we got to a goal.
Defensively we struggled a bit. Both Wheater and Beevers found it hard going. Beevers seems to be struggling at this level
Anyway PP has dropped Dervite and Pratley and we looked more competitive for it. Madine is doing well enough but I think he holds us back being too ponderous when in possession. In some ways we improved when Wilbraham went alongside. Buckley left early, a pity.
The strength of the team lay in Karacan.He was excellent box to box and a good leader. If we are to climb the table he looks the man to take us forward.
In sum therefore a disappointing defeat but a good effort and a closer match
Alnwick 5 Burke 6 Wheater 6 Beevers 5 Robinson 6 Little 7 Cullen 6 Karacan 9 Buckley 4 Morais 5 Madine 6 Armstrong 5 Le Fondre/ Wilbraham n/a

Better tonight as Andy said. Robinson and Little impressed. Burke, Beevers and Wheater surprisingly tentative. Nadine poor. Others worked hard.

A better performance that deserved at least a point, but yet again the team never really threatened a reversal of fortune as it continues to lack pace and a cutting edge in and around the box. Defence and midfield are put under pressure as the ball has to be played across field or backwards as potential attacks flounder..oh for the return of Ameobi and Vela. I hope Little and Robinson are given another chance, the latter would surely be an option playing left midfield when Taylor is fit, he has pace, can beat a man and can cross the ball( hopefully to someone in the box who can benefit!). Much better than Saturday then, but obviously against lesser opponents, the team competed well but must stop gifting goals to the opposition and somehow find a way of creating and taking chances with some consistency, thereby easing the defensive load. All easier said than done, but we have to keep hoping for a change of fortune however unlikely it may appear.
