Utterly woeful performance. Couldn’t pass, defend or attack today and barely any effort shown in the first half. I’m super glad I gave it a swerve as didn’t fancy the trip from London with the weather issues.

Awful, one dimensional rubbish.

3 central defenders.
4 central midfielders.
3 strikers.

We could only play one way in that second half, and boy were we incapable of even doing that...

Sheffield Utd are no mugs and they have not lost a match in 91 games when they have taken the lead.

We won't have another game where so many were poor.

We learn and we move on.

Seems if Hughton is judged on this GraPott should be too. When does GraPott take some of the blame for our position in the table?

Sheffield United look a very tight unit.

Even when we started to get our shit together there was clearly still no way through, or around.

We would have been better telling Stephens to come off and play with 10 - he has been good all season, but dire today.

Poor.

Can't say we didn't get what we deserved this time.

Can't fault the effort but way off the pace and too many individually poor performances. In particular Ryan and Webster but none of them with the possible exception of Connolly can say they were anything other than bang average at very best.

So disappointing. I guess we can't expect too much consistency when we've completely changed our playing style and are doing it with a squad mostly built for a different way of playing. Still, very disappointing performance nonetheless. Perfectly rounds off a day where I've felt like shit all day and projectile vomited just as work finished. Rough with the smooth and all that.

Possession with no purpose.

Static Mooy to static Burn to static Mooy and back again. Blades players close down, wait, then pass in a flash for the 2 Mc’s or Mousset to skin us.

Awful game plan, no flexibility, easy to coach against.

Today didn't happen, no it didn't, no it didn't, no it didn't, no it didn't, no it didn't.

I'm just glad it's the shortest day of the year.

We had 25 points at the end of last year, we ended on 36 while playing shit. GraPott can't do any worse.

But the only thing that matters is if we stay up. Hughton delivered twice. Every manager has matches where his side doesn't deliver.

appalling first half, picked up a little in the second and were a little unlucky to not put away at least one of our chances. However, simple mistakes were being made far too often that we couldn't get away with. Webster was on terrible form, probably weakest player on the pitch. Where was Trossard?! Why take Montoya off, he was one of the few that was actually trying to play good football in the first half.
