Sheffield Utd v QPR | Match Thread

[3London]

Norwich lead ,the gap to bottom 3 is now only 7

true but the gap to the play offs is only 6

[shaggy24]

Not been a bad game

Hamer far more commanding in the box

Frey in for Kone and tbh he’s playing far too apart with Burrell

can Frey stay on his feet for 20 mins

can Frey stay on his feet for 20 mins

Whilst remembering at the same time that he is allowed to jump.

[shaggy24]

I hope during the international break we work on our crossing as it’s bloody awful

[eam1882]

At least we didn't loose it
that's all I got to say.

[SheepRanger]

Great point and we defended well in all areas of the pitch. We look more solid with Dunne beck in the centre and im glad to see Morgan coming on to slot into RB. Well done to the entire team.

[shaggy24]

Ft 0-0

both sides poor which made it a better game

we were poor JS took Dembele off who tried to run at them then we were poor odd as chair was well off it and left Koki on the bench

a point but tbh we need creativity

[72bus]

Well done hamer , clean sheet is a positive

[Martinmalta]

At least we managed to stop the defeats. And a clean sheet as well. When things are not going your way, just make sure not to lose. Hamer seems an improvement on Nardi.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Not an exciting game....Hamer kept us in.

[daveshads]

I think we are becoming grateful for small mercies.
I am uncertain if JS is going to be able to get a good tune out of this lot. Two poor sides.

As did Dunne in front of him.

Great to see JS has finally realised that Jimmy is a CB by trade. He was immense today. At 6" 4' Hamer certainly has more to his game than Nardi.

Well, we're on a season average of 58 pts on, hopefully, the tail end of a poor run. These guys have won matches before and will do so again. A 65 pt & 10th place finish will be a decent season if there are some transfer fee sales in the summer too.

Positives -

1. Hamer was very good, well played lad, earned more starts with that performance.

Negatives -

1. Far too many defensive errors, Cook seems to have lost all of his match awareness.
2. Left back has to be sorted.
3. Toothless going forwards, all the good off the ball stuff i've seen when we were playing well seems to have been forgotten? We don't look like a unit.

Why are we not using Saito anymore?

Why has Madsen reverted back to type? Seems to have coincided with JS trying to squeeze Chair into the line up.

[Abseits]

I thought it was a decent workmanlike performance. We had to halt the run of defeats and we did.

The elephant in the room was an obvious lack of flow and cohesion to our work - been too much chopping and changing recently and it shows in our general play... Field and Chair had no understanding or link-up play down the left whatsoever and it wasn't much better on the right with Mbengue and Dembele. JS urgently needs to nail down a de facto 1st XI that can start gelling together.

Hamer is now our No.1 by dint of actually catching a few balls. He also calmly dealt with a ball just outside the box in a situation where Nardi would've panicked.

For once, I think international break has come at a good time for us. Go away and regroup.
