Would people still fancy them in a final we won’t get to?

I’ll tell you after Saturday.

Don't mean shit, they don't concede goals and we can't break teams down who are organised.

Didn’t we put 3 past 4th place Sunderland ?

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Not expecting good news on the Rudoni front.
Doesn't need to be very serious to be season ending this late in the campaign either.

eh ?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I’ll tell you after Saturday.

If sheaf and Rudoni are back I really do fancy us to beat Burnley
We have to show some attacking nowse though

 

[Paxman II]

Strange we had almost 60/40 in our favour possession stats. But it's what you do with it that counts.
The game turned from a good start by us after a former player hit a world class free kick. Up to that point we were getting a foothold in the game.
Selection headache for Frank now. Allen just not at the races, Wright ineffective all game, EMC unable to make the right decision, Binks lost in defence, Sako just not in the game and Grimes not having his best game.
They will be up for Burnley now and I can see Rudoni starting, Kitch back and Wright on the left with Simms down the middle.
It's all good people, don't panic Mr Mannering!

Yeah but that’s like Preston beating us 2-1

 

[SBT]

Don't get carried away.
He just hasn't been horrendous.
The one he put over the bar could have been a simple catch. His reactions were slow.
Luckily, a lot of their attempts were blocked before they reached him.

You need to get over how bad he was in December - he did fine tonight, and if he continues to play like that then would be a perfectly serviceable keeper for the rest of the season.

And got beaten home and away by Derby.

It's pathetic how some won't give players a fair crack

 

[SkyblueTexan]

If they don't go up auto and we somehow got them in final if we got there ..big if I know ...would be in serious trouble

If we meet them in the playoff final, we cannot play EMC, Bidwell, Binks, Collins. We will Wright on the left, Simms in the middle and Kitching in defence and Dovin in goal (assuming he’s fit). Need Rudoni in there as well.

It's a one off game. Anything could happen. Yes they're stronger than us, but bring back Kitching, Rudoni and get Sheaf fit, and we'd have a fighting chance on a neutral pitch.

 

[duffer]

simms plays sometimes like hes wearing football boots hes found in lost property.

Agreed. And sometimes he looks like he's playing in flippers he's found at the bottom of the canal!

Got to get it in the box for him, that's his strength, but we're just so, so slow at doing it in some games.

Sorry. No. He still looks scared to death when the ball comes near him.
He moves very awkwardly for a goalkeeper and I'll stand by it that his reactions are poor.
People were saying what you are saying last year/this year.
It was glossed over how shite he was for the final stretch of last season too!!

 

[Garlana86]

O’hare nothing but respectful again, hopefully put this stupid faux anger behind us

Im personally indifferent to him moving on for bigger money and potentially prem football, I cared more tonight about him not scoring against us, that would have been hard to take. He had a few good chances I had to look away for.

 

[shepardo01]

He's had a fair crack. See my last post.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Also fuck Hamer man, how the fuck is he still in the championship, he's been involved in every goal they've scored against us this season.

Far too good for this league but too unprofessional to get signed up in the Prem.

 

[quinn1971]

And got beaten home and away by Derby.

And sheff Utd lost 3-0 at home to hull, and your point is ?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He did fine when thrown in against Sunderland then followed it up with the footballing equivalent of being sick into a bag.

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Disappointing as it is, it’s just one game. Kitching a big miss, Rudoni really should have started and we have to hope for the best with Dovin’s injury.

We haven’t come from behind to win all season, the first goal really shouldn’t be that essential to the result. As for Sheff Utd, they’ll come bottom of the Prem next season.

Luton 0-2 to 3-2

Was at fault for Sunderland's first goal.

He won't stay with them. They'll be back in a relegation battle again next season. He'll push for a move. Whether that's in the summer or in Jan. I can really see him at a Palace or a Brentford type team tbf. Not a big club, but a settled, mid table team.

Yes , incredibly fair

 

[Marty]

Only the second time this season Sheff Utd beat another team that's in the top 6. Completely out classed us. Just need to forget about it, dust ourselves off and make sure we're ready for Burnley next week.

They didn’t want him this season and won’t want him when he’s older.

 

[shepardo01]

He wasn’t.

Slow to react - through his hand. Yes he was.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You’re thinking of the second

 

[TomRad85]

If Dovin is out its a huge blow. Enjoying the social media meltdown that Collins was brought on over Wilson though. Not sure what the deal is with our fanbase and Wilson, its all very strange.

 

[quinn1971]

Yeah but that’s like Preston beating us 2-1

That wasn’t the question, was ” we can’t break organised teams down “ we can

He's openly stated he wants another crack in the Dutch Eredivisie , Feyernoord wasn't it ?

 

[shepardo01]

Ok. Yes. He was at fault for one of their goals.

 

[SBT]

There is good cause to be skeptical about Collins going forward, but there is no reason to argue that he did well tonight.

The people suggesting our season is over because our 22 year-old keeper got injured are hysterical.

 

[wingy]

Said it at the time, they were very passive.

 

[TomRad85]

They didn’t want him this season and won’t want him when he’s older.

He'll waddle off back to Feyenoord hopefully, which would be a good fit I think.

 

[Hobo]

They were just better than us, simple as that.
