Awful game. Awful tactics from both teams, but at least we got a point. Thank god we don't have to watch Sheff Utd each week.

Yep, I've got a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of that from Bennett this season, but I do think he's worth persevering with because when we get him on a good day (he's due one now, surely?) he'll rip apart any team in this division.Very frustrating player, but then we all knew that's what it would be like with him. If he can iron out his (many) inconsistencies he'll be a Premiership player before long.On a side note, another late comeback from Forest tonight. Funny how things change, when SO'D was here we couldn't organise a comeback for love nor money.
Not an enjoyable game, but a good result. To be honest both teams looked a bit jaded, like they'd do each other a favour and settle for a point if it meant they didn't have to run very much. All the Blades fans I know are frustrated with their performance, and I can see why. I said at half time it'd be 0-0, just no inspiration from either team really. Typical bore draw, which I'll take away from home.Going forward we had very little, we knew before the season started we had 2 very hot and cold wingers in Cotterill and Bennett - tonight was sub zero for both of them. Our attack relies very heavily on getting the best out of them. However, our last line of defence (minus Woods, still don't rate him at all though he didn't do anything wrong tonight) is superb - if there's a better one in this league I've yet to see it.I was a bit worried when Dave 'c***' Kitson came on, but he largely kept his hands to himself tonight. Prick.
I'm not convinced by this "we don't need to entertain as long as we get results" argument, surely we're trying to convince people to come to the Keepmoat and part with their hard earned cash, people won't come to watch boring hoofball. Prime example was last night when you could have watched Real Madrid play some stunning football for a grand total of £0. We need to entertain or the floating fans will just do something else.
Jones and McCombe were awesome. Surely these two must be the stand-out signings of the Summer? I've got used to dreading every corner we concede but last night, even during a torrid spell when we seemed to give the Blunts corner after corner, our CB's just headed everything away.In the end I was close to having a Hamlet moment and thinking "Corner? So what? Bring 'em on". What a transformation.
