Kaminski - Delivery is atrocious: is it the coaching or just his bad execution - probably both. Dack - lovely assist. I think he’s pressing well too, as much as the others upfront anyway. Diaz - great finish, there will be bids tomorrow Pickering - solid 1st half given he’s up against Bowler Dolan - weakest of the front 4 but we are without Gallagher, Szmodics and Markanday isn’t getting a look in yet. Don’t think he’ll be a regular in a weeks time. 2 young lads in the middle, very solid. Happy enough overall, started slow, not dominated but looked the more dangerous, let’s hope we push on more 2nd half and put the game to bed.

Completely off topic - but I just don’t get why players chew gum during a match (Travis in this instance)

We’ve not been brilliant but I agree, nothing like last Saturdays 1st half

Looks like it yeah. Rotating all over the show! 😂

Bradley fucking Dack

Happy with the team given the circumstances - ie JDT saw and acted at RB from Saturday (not that I’m confident with Travis there either) and also reacted to Whartons 2nd half vs Buckleys 1st half on Saturday. This wouldn’t have happened under Mowbray

You're all over the show here

Yeah i'd be amazed if he plays. Had his right calf strapped up after the match on Saturday. Will be Hyam and Phillips i'd have thought, which I agree with in those circumstances - not worth risking Ayala

Ah you’re right - it was Morton!

Good news on Hyam. He could be straight in on Wednesday as Ayala had his calf wrapped in a bandage at full time (likely just a precaution but the exact reason he needs resting on busy weeks)

Anyone notice when his shin pads came out? Ayala picked them up and ran to the sidelines and lobbed them off, then about 30 seconds later had to run back to get them to give back to Adam. Ayala was holding his calf at the tIme too! Anyway, thought he looked very good, almost gliding around but the weighting on his passing almost perfect. Would be starting ahead of Buckley on Wednesday for me as he needs a run out of the 11.

It’s bad, it’s very bad, and I’ve been vocal about it prior to the last two batterings…. But I never thought I’d see people crowing over Jacob Davenport. If ever a player screamed “looking ahead to L1 not the the PL” it would have been keeping him on. He just got rejected from Hearts after a trial. He is not the answer to getting us in that top 6

What? Surely we have already done this? We’re run by complete morons, nothing has changed.” (Venkys, Waggott et al)

The usual suspects were consistently telling me last week that it is a done deal, it’s over the line, etc. etc. And we need the patience to wait for the ‘right’ player and not rush a short term signing (even though we’re a couple of months into the window) Hopefully that lot have woken up and smelt the coffee.

You mustn’t have watched on Wednesday then!!!

I think he means he didn’t want to use the last substitute in case we get an injury and finish with 10. Still strange regarding Dack

He’s injured

Edun has been CM for the last 25 minutes so not sure what you’re on about a combo, and probably the best in that position (not that it’s saying much)

This is a horrendous 2nd half from Phillips. Really feel sorry for the lad, thrown in the deep end but well out of his depth.

Exactly, we should be signing players to push for promotion and be ready for the PL if we had any ambition…for me it looks like we’re signing players ready for League 1 (like a promoted PL team signing Championship players ala Bournemouth)

The Sheffield United HT pundits are laughing at how we’ve someone won 3 games this season.

I keep seeing talk of JDT’s style of play, usually involving why Dack isn’t suited to this alleged “high press”. I’ve genuinely seen nothing this season to show we haven’t regressed as a team

I think the emoji was more related to the pathetic “I hate Sunderland, tinpot club, overrated fans” comment.

Pickering getting a lot of stick but I think Brittain has been horrendous, doesn’t look like a defender at all. They’ve all been rubbish though so there you go

Eugh, was inevitable. How has he still got a job
