Painful to watch

Robbed!!!

Once again dodgey referees decisions go against us!!!
What do we have to do?
Webber defenitely offside and 2 clear cut penalty shouts in the same play not given...
Something has to be done.

 

Perhaps we need to take diving lessons and join the rest of the dirty cheating teams in the prem

Or have Morinhio , furguson or venga as a manager

 

How many other manager would have been as magnanimous

How many managers would have been so honest about a teams defeat , even though it was to an offside goal and a dead cert penalty not given ?

 

Thats aidy all over.. i wonder what he will think after he sees the video though.

 

not good enough............

didnt think henderson was good enough tonight.

we just didnt show up.

without young we seriuosly lack creativity.

offside goal.

TWO penalty decisions turned down

jesus how much more

 

Think he had already seen it , just that he's not like the others that think they own the refs in the prem.

About time Keith Kackett came out and explained the differences between all of the descisions that have gone against us . Cause the only difference that i can see is about how much money a team has .

The last time i was this mad was in 1984 at Wembley and that t..t Andy gray was there too

 

Agree

Absolutely right

 

Totally agree with you Sticky.

He wasnt good enough but he was on his own.

Don't know how the referee didnt see the handball and i liked the way Hulse fell over when Powell pulled his arm. He must have gone to the same dance school as Kanu.

 

If we wore blue Addidas or Red Nike shirts I reckon we'd have been given at least one of the penalty shouts and Hulse would have been beooked for diving.

 

Why? Why? Why?

Is it that when we have nothing up front, we insist on launching it?

Nothing wrong with the stratergy, I undestand the logic, but Henderson just isnt up to it.

We should have reverted to a more measured build up, especially when Colin would expect the opposite...

 

To be fair the ref was wrong sided for the handball but he defenitely should have seen the push just prior to it... it was directly in front of him...
As for Hulse it looked an inoquous challenge from Powell and was 6 of one half a dozen of the other.. and i think Hulse overdramatised it somewhat.

 

Isn't that what the Linesman is paid for ?

 

The linesmen dont seem to bother with anything other than throws and 90% of the offsides.

 

Thats why we're going down....

Couldn't even get a point against a poor sheffield united at home..... should of been our biggest chance of grabbing 3 points this season.

back to the championship i'm afraid......

 

Not good enough, it’s a shame the players didn’t show as much commitment as in other games, because then we would have won. It was only when we went 1.0 down that we showed any urgency.

I said before the game if we lost it would be more a kick in the teeth for the fans than anyone else, and that has been the case.

Aidy should have brought Priskin, not Shittu on, and losing Ashley at the start was also a massive blow what with King and Bouazza (our other most creative players/goal scorers also being out)

The season isn’t over, we can’t give up hope, and I still believe we have the manager and player mentality to keep us up.

Also, obviously I wasn’t at the game, and the pub had the sound on silent, what was the atmosphere like tonight?

 

Player Ratings....

Lee - 7

Powell - 5
Demerit - 7
Mackay - 5 TOO GOD DAMN SLOW
Doyley - 6

Smith - 6 LOOK UP WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING WITH THE BALL....
Mahon - 7
Francis - 4 WIGAN WE'RE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK
Spring - 3 or 6 - can't decide - lost so many balls but actually ran around
Macca = 4 - not good enough at this level


Hendo - 6 - up front by himself?? what we're you thinking aidy

SUBS

Shittu - 5 - up front???? jeeeeeeze, he didnt even know what he was doing - why not bring priskin on , a natural forward
chambers - 7 - came on and looked like he could actually do something

 

aidy said it was good but watching it at home it didn't look great at all. you could hear the die-hard fans trying to start something but nobody followed. all i could hear was the sheff utd fans. it was dissapointing.

 

Agree that without Young, Bouazza and King we lack creativity.

I don’t only blame the officials though, we didn’t show enough urgency until we were 1.0 down. I thought Henderson did ok on his own upfront. He could have been helped if Priskin had been brought on instead of Shittu though.

 

Chambers was on from the start and Doyley got brought on at half time.

 

robbed again....

BUT... our performance was terrible

 

cant we play for 80 minutes like saracens

if only we could play for 80 minutes or even 85 we might win talk about hows your luck..........

spare a thought for aidy as well he must be going through it .......

 

A few cans of stella say otherwise!

 

time to stop the direct stuff

It is time to stop the extreme direct football

I was watching via Sky today and it was very painful watching. At no point did we look like scoring, we looked tired and clueless.

Today is the game we have deserved to lose most, even though the goal was offside and we had a clear pen. Shef Utd outplayed us. We CAN play with the ball on the floor, and it is time for Aidy to abandon the long ball approach and play this way.

Although we were utter w*** we will still stay up if EVERYONE keeps together.

LEE

CHAMBERS SHITTU DEMERIT POWELL

SMITH MAHON SPRING MCNAMEE

BOUAZZA YOUNG

This team is the way foward. We have good wingers which we should use more! Play it wide instead of over the top

 

Tonight was a real low point in my long career of watching the horn's. We were totally unable to unlock a poor Sheffield Utd defence and the desperation of putting Danny S up front says it all. We were second best in every department tonight and it is not going to get better. Roll on next August.

 

the squads too thin, although thats no excuse for how we played. but it is a problem. roll on january...(although im not expecting miracles)

 

Sheffield United hit the post twice and playing devils advocate here, they should have had a penalty when their player was wrongly ruled offside before Lee clattered into him.

We lacked creativity, because we didn’t have Young, Bouazza or King, our top scorers and most creative players.

Keep the faith!

 

With respect I have merged these threads to try to keep it clear and all views in one place.. 9 threads about tonights game.
Thanks for your understanding all

 

Makes sense!! lol

 

i thought hendo did ok as he was on his own, one of the better performers, but not too hard tonight

 

What a waste of space that performance was. I'm sorry to say it lads but wave goodbye to the Premiership. I'm embarassed to be a Watford fan on that performance. I don't even care about their offside goal, it was the least we deserved after we gave them the game on a plate

 

Henderson was shocking i just dont see him scoring he is not good enough to score goals in the premiership also does francis actually do anythink?. i thought smith played well and chambers would of been my man of the match i thought he did really well and got stuck in and looked liked he wanted to win. it was clear to she that sheffield utd wanted the win more and we let are selfs down big time. i have not so little effort since aidy has come here we just gave up.

 

Cant overly disagree with that.. though we didnt deserve to lose on the way we did.
