qpr1962 added 22:23 - Nov 9 Rodneylives added 19:26 - Nov 10 To save the match at the death after being reduced to ten men shows real spirit. Phew! BTW, any news of our erstwhile captain Fitz Hall? He seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. jpianezzola added 17:21 - Nov 13 qpr1962 added 17:30 - Nov 13 jfk added 18:06 - Nov 13 Listened to a bit of it on the web site, but had to switch off coz I was too nervous. Really thought we would struggle, especially with the suspensions and injuries at the back, but that's a great result. wessex_exile added 20:30 - Nov 13 Well that was an odd game - can't argue with the result, we were second best in most departments - can't even comment on two of the goals because I missed their first in the loo with my son, and ours (along with quite a few others) trying to beat the queue for a foot-long hotdog. Otherwise it was a U's that huffed and puffed but struggled to find a telling pass or good control at crucial moments. Swindon should have been 1 up early on with their one-on-one, but Williams did well, came out and stood up, and eventually pulled off a blinder. Should then have been 1-0 with their free-kick against the inside foot of the post, along the goal line and out for a goal kick on the other side (it was that close). But THEN, how did Odejayi miss his free header to put us 1-0 up. That rather set the pattern for the day - more or less soaking up lots of pressure, occasionally having a go on the break, but usually those rare chances stalling for want of a killer pass. By the end, it wasn't that bad a game, we had a better go second half, and could have nicked a point at the end, but it wouldn't have been the right result. onedalefan added 20:37 - Nov 13 Pretty football doesn't win matches if there is no end product. We need a Dagnell or Le Fondre who knows where the goal is. The way things are going, we are going to be dragged into a religation fight. LostBoys added 21:08 - Nov 13 jdalec added 23:33 - Nov 13 totally agree, a really dissapointing day. Things started so optimistically for us , I thought we totally out played them in the first half, they looked like a set of pub players and were there for the taking. Second half was crap, the best thing to do next time we play in Sheffield is drop Joe Thompson off at the Meadowhall and tell him to be ready for 6. ''Premiership player in the making'', don't talk bollocks, the blokes about as much use as a bull with tits, and before anyone starts just remind me how many talnet scouts are watching him, i'll put you out of your misery NONE !! SheffieldSteve added 08:56 - Nov 14 Have to say, we have nothing to worry about Forest this season, they were pretty poor, and playing for the draw, particularly towards the end of the match. We should have won though...
