Sheffield United vs Swindon Town

[JJH]

Just about to kick off - 15 minute delay due to ticketing problems.

Does he think the Preston cup game is more important - with the Man U carrot - than cementing a PO place?

He may not be thinking like that. Instead with a short physical recovery time and a lot of emotional energy spent midweek, he may truly believe these players will perform better. But I'm not convinced ten changes will work ... let's hope not.

Sheff Utd commentary:

"Swindon's players do certainly spend a lot of time on the floor."

LOL

Sounds like we've been on top but are not taking our chances. Hope we aren't made to rue that.

ref is a joke and for the ability Swindon clearly have (and they should be winning) I've never seen a team throw themselves on the floor so much. Been about 8yellows but no bad tackles. Ridiculous.

Appears to be a tactic of theirs this season.

[Ciderup]

GET THE FOOK IN THERE!!

 

[JJH]

Nice one, Murphy.

 

[sk8mk]

Come on Sheffield!

What an absolute bellend Clough is. Playing the ressies against top of the league? Throwing the game.

"Throwing the game"

 

[JonBCFC]

Come on Sheffield!

They don't like being called Sheffield didn't you know?!

 

[This Charming Mike]

2-0. Game over.

 

[dh625y]

Congratulations Sheff Utd., seems Cloughie just about knew what he was doing after all.

 

[Ciderup]

Thanks Blades!!

 

[Gerry Gow]

Cheers Sheffield..

Not a great result but not yet disastrous. We have Luongo and Kasim on their way back. One defeat while they have been away is a good record. We were due a defeat. We pick ourselves up and move on to Barnsley next week.

 

[Ravey 28]

We had to lose at some point and I had a feeling it'd be today. Was always a tough game.

Let's hope we can bounce back

 

[JJH]

Come on Sheffield!

Don't let Blademan89 see this..

 

[Ciderup]

Back above the roundabout dwellers with 2 games in hand. We have to be happy with that!

 

[JJH]

10 changes and they can't even get a result..

What a Liberty.

 

[blademan89]

Swindon were the better side for 60 minutes but failed to take advantage 10 changes and still beat top of the league never reyt

Nigel Clough, managerial genius.

That makes it even sweeter!
Your lot had a lot of support in the South West today Blademan. Well, most of it anyway!

 

[Alex_BCFC]

Was expecting the worst after 10 changes and it sounded like Swindon just couldn't score today.

 

[Redcityman]

Two weeks off seems to have worked wonders, if this is the outcome I hope we play Tuesday Saturday for the next couple of months.. Oh wait.

Do I hear bottles rattling!

 

[blade1889]

cloughs done it again, top of the league and you cant beat our reserves. Swindon were on top most of the game and we were sloppy but you got exactly what you deserved. Went to the majority of PL games but not seen a team roll around, cheat and generally be dirty ####s as much as Swindon today, it was embarrassing and made the win all the sweeter. Lol at all the criticism Clough got for the team selection.
