Not convinced we had to take hamer off, he’d not done anything second half to suggest he was about to get sent off had he? And Sheaf was totally weird.
Happy with a point tbf, but they had more chances after our changes than they had all game.
I get that Robins was trying to win, and for that should be applauded because he gets stick for the opposite often enough. Not sure if the squad limits the changes to some degree? They just felt like odd changes. Gyokeres was playing well, as were Sheaf and Hamer. And after they went off our shape changed and sheff got back into it.
I’m sure it’s all part of Robins’ education, he’s still learning like everyone. Maybe he’ll try something different next time we are looking to kill a game off.

That’s the second time Robins has brought Godden and Walker on together, it just doesn’t work.

He'd given the ball away a couple of times in quick succession around our box, hadn't he? I wondered if that affected Robins' thinking

If Gyo isn't 100% then he's not going to be until next year unless we rest him.
We need Waghorn back to do that as Walker and Godden don't work together.

They were many people's dream team before the season started

On this occasion MR tried to win the game by putting two up front, but we lost control of the midfield. Last season MR got a lot of criticism last season for playing one up front. It’ll be interesting to hear his assessment of the game….hes usually pretty honest, which is refreshing.
I hope the sheaf critics on here , reflect on their view of him. He had a great game and thank goodness weve got Moore in goal!

We have plenty of strikers-Walker has been great, he has a fantastic goal record for his minutes this season and presses more than his used to. His movement is really good and he's a goal threat.

On top but didn’t look like scoring, Robins had to try something different, it didn’t work, he has to make those decisions. But leaving your in form striker on the bench with 10 mins is a bit late

In hindsight yeah, but he obviously felt we had a level of control that was worth chucking the two strikers on and trying to win the game. The sort of decision that could and invariably go either way.
Hindsight management is easy and I think you are going a bit ott.

Vulnerable a few times where United players got ball due to lack of pace. McGoldrick started getting in behind him and missed two great chances.
But as I said last few minutes earned a wage with two fantastic blocks.

The problem we have is if Vik came off because of this ankle problem them we can't stay with one up top if it's Walker or Godden.
If it was purely tactical then it just didn't make sense.

Decent point...dullish game.
Shef Utd are going nowhere this year with that awful style of play.
3 points at home and 1 point away, if we can keep achieving that, would be good playoff form

Still would have changed the midfield dynamic though? I agree that adding Godden to the Gyo would have been better than replacing him entirely, just not convinced 2 up top is what fans think it is.

I agree if it was the 10th time he’d bought them on and it didn’t work then yes don’t do it again. But only twice, give it time

Hardly, I’m not angry or pissed off, just said he’s made a big mistake there with the changes. I wasn’t pushing for that change before it happened either.
You weren’t at the Bristol City game then?

We had 1 shot in 30 mins rafter he brought 2 strikers on and that was goddens first touch.

I think he was just rolling the dice trying to win it when we were on the up but obviously misjudged the importance of the strength of Gyokeres in the game.

He had, one led to a good Sheff U chance. And with Gus, he had a knock a few weeks ago didn't he as well so possibly not 100%?

I’m not convinced it was a penalty but I didn’t understand why it wasn’t our corner? Does a ‘dive’ constitute a free kick?
We have two and a half fit strikers right now, and you want to loan one of them out?

I think so

Their subs worked better than ours. Think part of the reason for our subs was partly to keep the team fresh for Tues and to go for a win in this one. Lucky the gamble didn't backfire. All things considered, a very good point.
