I think the Championship as a whole is very poor this season. Including Coventry there has been no TEAM that has impressed me too much.

I am basing it on the fact they proposed to build a new Training ground somewhere in Ecclesfield last season. All we have heard from the others is Naff all, which with NDA's is acceptable. The other's, Texor, Ashley and Howsam either have no experience of running a sports club or carry a lot of baggage. Either way it is a gamble.

He must be good if he can score goals at one end and stop them at the other.

Of all the names mentioned in pursuit of the Club, I have only heard Adam Shaw's consortium come out with a plan for the future of the club. On that basis I would favour them, but it is not down to me.

That is my fear with Howsam. He knows as much about running a Football club as Daftjon did. We could be jumping out of the frying pan, into the fire.

7-8 years???. More like the last 25 years. The Blades will finish in the playoffs, this league is very poor compared to the last few seasons.

How many attacking players did we have on the bench last night?.

All we need is a D o F in place as quickly as possible.

IF we are allowed to sign any players in Jan, we can begin the process of collecting the 16+ players we will need next season. Don't bother loaning players from the Prem who will not be here next season, but IF we go down that road, Loan players we can sign in the summer and notify any player or agent of our interest in the summer.

True. Come the Preston game there will be 23k there, after a hard season with no chance of competing with the rest of the league.

Had a lot in common with the players then

Sadly, Ugbo is the only alternative to Cadz and Brown. They are the only 3 Forwards we have at the moment.

The last good side we had was the 1996/97 season when we finished 7th in the Prem. Only one fancy dan footballer, Carbone, and we frightened the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool. All I want to see are players who know their job: A Goalkeeper in the nets, not a midfield general. Defenders who actually know the basics of defending and clear their lines when under pressure. A Midfield with energy, presence stamina and passing ability. Forwards with Pace, Strength, power and an eye for goal and who do not come back into the defence. Simple easy football, not the passing out of defence rubbish.

I agree, I dont like losing, but we accepted that we were down in August, before a ball was kicked. As you say, we had our result of the season 4 weeks ago, just get this season out of the way and look forward with confidence.

I know they did not have to try too hard yesterday, but they did something that other, so called 'Better' teams could not. They stopped us from having a shot at goal to force a save. Even when Coventry put 5 passed us, we still created good chances. I will be contreversial here, but I believe that they are the best ALL ROUND team we have played this season, and I would not be at all surprised to see them slip into the Playoffs before the end of the season.

For the 1st goal we got caught trying to play out from the defence, not for the 1st time this season, and where was the Midfield?, chasing after the Goal scorer?.

I don't want a midfield general I goal, I want a GOALKEEPER. I want Defenders who can just do the basics, CLEAR the ball from our defence. I want midfielders who have energy, strength and stamina to go with passing. I want Forwards who have Pace, strength and height, who will sit on the shoulders of the Oppo defenders.

The same people think that Dicanio is a legend after a handfull of appearences, compared to Palmers 400+.

Yes, and Celtic went on to win the League for the 1st time in a decade with Blinker.

This 100%

Willie Henderson.

100%. That is whyit always seems to take us 45 min's to warm to the game.

The top and bottom of it is, we lack energy in midfield, no one tracked back when Soton were attacking, leaving our defence exposed.

Ethan Hovarth is what he is, he is not the best G/K in the league, but neither is he the worst. It is down to individual preferences, I never fully got the Hype about Beale, a good shotstopper but poor at everything else, but that is just my opinion.
