Good that Tyson is fit. McCullough, if he has arrived back in time, will be knackered from the journey - is he on the bench?

Probably about as good as we could hope.

Edit: McCullough not on the bench. Both Mackay's and Whitehouse along with Marosi, Robinson, De Val and Bennett. Hope we don't have a defensive injury or red card.

Good that the McKays are getting time on the bench if they are as good as reports suggest.

Good to hear reports of Enda wanting to make his move here permanent.

Bit quiet on here! Sounds like we're more on top. Worried about the bookings already, esp with Main.

excellent fun but informative commentary on Radio Sheff via Player with Micky Walker Rob Staton and Keith Edwards ex Blade . Blades 75 /25 of play .. Copps and Forrester need to get into game more to counter Blades play makers .  Mc Cullogh  not on bench but both Jake and Paul Mc Kay are .

HT #DRFC 0 Sheffield United 0, bland like a slice of dry toast, an egg white omelette or a Michael Buble record.

Didn't sound like that to me listening on Player, Radio Sheff bias perhaps? BBC say 53/47, not that I trust that, but 75/25  :ermm:

Well, we've missed a pen and we now have to score two goals for the win...

Forrester, I believe.

 Forrester

According to Sky sports he hit it well but great save

On Player said it was okay, but at a nice height. Pens are NOT that difficult to place well, it's simply like playing pool, hit the ball in the right place.

So unlucky today from what I'm hearing. Should have had a goal from when Copps was fouled, now hit the post. I think we'll get one at least.

Seems we played okay? Not great for the sides below us, and Bristol City are losing... positives  :unsure:

Post by: Lipsy on November 15, 2014, 04:56:36 pm
The fact that we are even looking at the sides below us is telling... Always going to be a consolidating season, this. Would have been nice to get something out of this game, but we go again next week.

Though it would seem - at least from Twitter - that the performance wasn't great:

I have no words for that game. Awful from start to finish! Couldnt tell which team had 10 men. #drfc

FT #DRFC 0 Sheffield United 1, damp, miserable, can barely see the way forward. The weather is lousy too.

We had some good stuff in patches but nowhere near enough, such as the play leading up to the penalty.

Sheff Utd were consistently better and were in control in midfield.  Even then, only one wonder strike was enough to win the game.  Shame it wasn't at the other end, Bennett was unlucky too...
