[Albion] Positives from Today (Sheffield United)

[maidstoneseagull]

We're a point better off than this time last year, we've not lost and we're top of our Europa group.

Except we're not!

Posted this on the match thread but nothing to do with RDZ ffs, he ensured we were as fresh as could be today. He even made well timed subs, it's down to the players after that

Marseille are top

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Apparently no further injuries

 

[HangletonGull]

Igor
Adinga
Wee Billy

Negatives we need to bury teams when 1, up the ref,

He needed to delay the subs when Dahoud got sent off. Just let the team get through the inevitable tricky period and then make the subs when we've setled.

We needed Billy on the pitch for longer there.

Despite a rotten run of form, we are 8th in the Premier League and have just done the double over Ajax to almost secure qualification for the next stage in Europe.

I'm feeling very positive.

This day 15 years ago we were playing Swindon Town in the JP Trophy before losing at Carlisle United and dropping to 15th in Div 3.

Can I ask when the cut off point is for these pointless comparisons with our history? Is it 20 years? Man City were in the third division just over 20 years ago and we don’t have to hear about that every time they have a poor game now so is that it?

 

[Weststander]

Adingra and Igor were outstanding, Igor's developing mobility and pace due to his RDZ imposed diet

 

[upthealbion1970]

Huge positive for me - after I realised at the Amex I’d left my phone in my car it was totally painless to get a printed ticked from the ticket office, only 1 in the queue and took less than a minute to sort it out.

City has poor games??

The pulled pork brioche wasn't bad

 

[Guinness Boy]

No positives but some understandable excuses. Hungover performance from the players, the fans and the officials (yes, the red was nailed on and stupid but the handball was a 100% penalty).

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Midfield masterclass from Billy Gilmour. Icing on the cake would have been that elusive first goal

For me it's perspective. A defeat is a defeat, a draw is a draw. It's always ups and downs. I can't do anything about it. I'll just enjoy the ride. And the scenery has been rather good for some time.

But I look back on the trips to obscure northern backwaters with great fondness as much as these days. It's all part of the fun having a football team you love and folk you've met along the way. We drew today in a match that perhaps should have been won. But the sun will still rise tomorrow and life moves on. It really doesn't matter.

Might be a good passer , but would like to see his passing actually either creating a chance or an opportunity for one

 

[tigertim68]

No home match for 3 weeks

 

[Sheebo]

Actually thought we played really well today. Quick passing and movement. Only grumble is we should have been 2-3 up by the red card. Held on well for a point. Frustrating, but thought given the injuries, we were decent.

I thought the handball was going to be given. Harsh, yes, but it looked like it should have been a penalty.

Glen Murray didn't think so and I wasn't going to complain about it. But I'm sure VAR has given those.

Every point in the Premier League is a good point. That's my mantra and ever since I adopted it, life has been better.

Haters can hate.

And breathe.
