Match Thread Sheff Utd v Coventry Match Thread - Wednesday 5th Apr (1 Viewer)

We counter after Sharp fails in his appeal for a foul, Haynes finds Tudgay who finds Bigi and his short pass finds its way to jones. He gets a chance to cross first time but doesn't. Wins a corner but was a waste of a good chance

Corner comes to nothing

Trouble with Clarke is he's still trying to use Bradfords hood tactics while everyone else is trying to keep the passing game going

Tudgay doing his defensive bit from the front allows Haynes to have a run at goal, tries a shot that's blocked

Wants a pen for hand ball but not given

Never will be tonight, unfortunately

Surely we are due some poetic justice? Fleck to volley the ball against his own face Chris Brass Stylee and the ball bounces in to the Sheff U net.......

Bigi gets himself a yellow card for a late challenge

Bit harsh

I'd settle for Lameris to take a running jump at one of them, with a chainsaw, and still not be sent off.

Should McEveley have seen red?

Was it worse than that tackle last year?

That's what they're saying on the radio, Nick. Otis has told me that this is a must-win fixture, fwiw.

Well organised so far

..as they were on sunday.
That's nice to see.

Turnbull excellent. Tudgay not got the energy or physicality to play the role he is.

You're all welcome btw.

I put Sheff Utd 1st half goals over 0.5 on :angelic:

All going to plan so far. I'm sure 0-0 was the plan for HT.

Despite us looking quite defensive, which I think was the plan, and that can be seen as being negative (it's pretty boring), I'll take this at FT!

Foley has been poor. Every time he's got he ball he's given it away. Tudgay doing more defensive work than he is attacking. Ruben looks afraid to go forward but that said with only Tudgay in front of him he's has little options to look for

Yes absolutely. We would all love a win but a draw would be a very good result and keep the unbeaten run going.

I imagine Folivi & Thomas will be on at the hour.

Stevenson not out warming up. Could he come on for Foley?

Sheff Utd top of the table and can't break down the worst City team in decades. Don't know who that says more about.

I think it says a lot about robins' organisational abilities and to be fair to the players their willingness to listen and learn from him. That has been the difference since he became manager...the team are more organised and difficult to break down

Also shows how little it takes to be effective in this league.

On paper the worst players as well you have to say.

Willis off for Stevenson Foley gone RB

Concerned even more now

Willis off- Stevenson on - Foley to right back
