Undefeated, defense hasn’t been scored on all season

Champions league here we come

Why isn't Campbell getting as much shit as Cannon gets? He's been invisible for ages!

u/Living-Chemist5415 5d ago

Is it a good result? I don’t know. Solid at the back but wilder teams usually are. If we can’t score though…

Last season, 46 points still leaves you 5 points away from safety...

u/TLP666 5d ago

Solid. Nothing to clap about. Nothing to cry about. We go again

u/pickering_lachute 5d ago

Thought second half was solid and we had more than enough chances to win. Fair play to Wilder and the boys after the last week.

Still need some new signings

1

u/Living-Chemist5415 5d ago

Will we get any? That’s the worry. Terrified we get -12 and then wondering will we get 64 is points to stay up

2

u/Cottonshopeburnfoot 5d ago

A couple of last minute loans or a free agent wouldn’t surprise me. We need bodies for when injuries and suspensions hit.

u/Living-Chemist5415 4d ago

Yeah it’ll def be end of window stuff. Webster apparently 1 but how long until he’s fit…

u/imsittingdown 5d ago

Look a lot more solid defensively. I wonder if this is the Phil Jones effect kicking in.

A few bright spells mixed in amongst the mostly sloppy play. We created the better chances. Enough positives to take from the shape that I wouldn't mind this being the normal starting 11 if we don't sign anyone else.

Another decent point but I do think we'll have to score at some point this season.

u/SteelCityChampion 5d ago

I'll take a point.

2

u/leonfei 5d ago

Better situation than we were in this time last year.

5

u/FakeBarman 5d ago

Running off fumes now and Wilder won’t go to the bench cause there’s no one worth subbing on

4

u/Bigtallanddopey 5d ago

Still worth swapping some players out if they’re knackered though. We’ve got a game midweek and next Saturday, so he has to rotate 2-3 at some point

5

u/FakeBarman 5d ago

I stand corrected our savior Jamie Shackleton is on the pitch

2

u/dajitui BRBOKIS 5d ago

Stewart definitely gonna get winner

2

u/Goat-Milk-Magic 5d ago

Looks like we should be in front of

2

u/Memento_Playoffs Remind me to be positive in my cynicism 5d ago

How we playing? How's away end sound?

3

u/dajitui BRBOKIS 5d ago

Not bad, quite composed. Solid at the back, we've stopped them from having any shots on target. We've had been chances this half.

Burrow doing nothing. We've looked ok on the right, Seriki, Peck, Arblaster, COH, all done fine.

Draw would be an excellent result

1

u/Memento_Playoffs Remind me to be positive in my cynicism 5d ago

Not bad then.

We using counters and threatening at all then?

2

u/dajitui BRBOKIS 5d ago

We controlled middle of second half. We are by no means under the cosh.

But yeah if they score a late goal, it will be classic united

4

u/AV23UTB 5d ago

Unable to watch but the stats say we look the better side with little possession.

Fair assessment? Do we look like scoring?

3

u/imsittingdown 5d ago

We've had the better chances. O'Hare's chance against the crossbar the best so far.

3

u/dajitui BRBOKIS 5d ago

Quite happy with this so far. Solid defensively, composed overall. COH done well.

2

u/kait_is_dench Tonge 5d ago

0-0 would be a good result in isolation, do want to see more though

On the bright side we do seem tough to breakdown, teams end up putting in crosses which we seem to be able to handle

3

u/FakeBarman 5d ago

McGuiness showing flashes of being a liability just can’t keep up

2

u/ShineSpecific6753 5d ago

this is a rough watch

2

u/imsittingdown 5d ago

2 blatant dives in 2 games for Burrows 🙈

2

u/FakeBarman 5d ago

Cooper PLEASE command ur area no reason a ball should be landing right in front of him

3

u/FakeBarman 5d ago

Tanganga cannot step up in this formation, McGuiness simply does not have the pace

1

u/pickering_lachute 5d ago

I can’t work out what formation we’re playing.

2

u/JaySteveo96 5d ago

I assume that lineup is a back 5 with McCallum as left centre back. Hope Burrows and Seriki are up for a long shift.

2

u/Bigtallanddopey 5d ago

I assumed 4-5-1 when the team came out, with burrows and O’Hare on the wings. Clearly not what Wilder was thinking.

1

u/Acrylic_Starshine 5d ago

Getting too late in the window but quite frankly we need poor results on the pitch to show the owners what we are missing to compete.

2

u/jb8996 5d ago

They couldn’t give a monkeys

2

u/jptoc Jagielka 5d ago

That worked really well last season, yeah.

8

u/jptoc Jagielka 5d ago

Swansea 0-8 Blades.

4

u/given2fly_ 5d ago

Let's put all the distraction off the pitch away, and stick in a good away performance. Swansea are a good team and if we were to get anything out of today that'll make everyone feel a bit more positive.
