Where’s [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] thread on point gained or two lost?

 

[maltaseagull]

if that had been liverpool

For once (possibly) you could be right

 

[RandyWanger]

Point gained there.

 

[Ding Dong !]

That's three games on the bounce where we've dug deep and came back to earn a point.

Time to take a lead now and hold on to it............................ against Palace will do

Ref has some Sheffield United family I think

Ironic that we had the worse ref of the season after the Potter headline in the Argus this week:
Graham Potter explains why he won't put heat on refs

Potter has every right to grab Graham Scott by the throat and kick him in the bollocks. Or at least feel like doing it.

Watching Final Score, Garth Crooks has been very complimentary about us, and stated Lundstram should have gone.

Graham Potter on the radio now, sucking air through his teeth like some kind of vacuum pump.

On my stream I saw something scrolling across the bottom in a foreign language and it said Wilder Fury and I was thinking why is the Blades manager angry?? D'oh!

Feels like the draw at wolves last year. We’ve got enough to stay up - just!

Played for the point and got the point. Definitely no complaints. Can't see us playing that style of football too often under Potter but it's good to know we have the ability to fight when needed. I like the combination of Webster, Duffy and Dunk playing together. IT gives Webster and Dunk lots more time on the ball and space to push forward.
We can't play like that every week though. Shelf united had enough chances to win that. Had we been playing a better team they'd have finished us off when we started to hoof everything clear. But these tactics worked well against Sheff U. Potter had obviously spotted how Sheff U aren't really a great team with the ball, just one who win all the 2nd balls, throw themselves into tackles and show a never give up attitude in how they close down everything. But in technical terms they are not great. So we went there and tried to force them to play by sitting back and allowing them time on the ball. They couldn't invent much other than crosses in which our back 3 did very well in dealing with. Could've nicked a win had Dunk scored but it's very evident we're too good to go down.

Good point.

We're lucky that Villa and Bournemouth seem to be giving up without a fight

Positive side
A point more than two of the teams below us, two more of the teams below us with tough away games tomorrow. A point against one of the best performing sides in the division this season, who outplayed us at home. A point way from home, having fallen behind.

Negative side
Cheap goal to concede, leading to another game without a clean sheet. Now one win in 12. Didn't sound like we troubled them much (but then, it sounded on the radio like Dunk was in danger of being sent off when he was the victim, so that may not be accurate).

Whilst I agree with most of your points, yes we have only won one in 12. However, we haven't lost many of those matches. The win will come soon. Hopefully next week.

Waddle just said that our back 4 were immense, Potter set out today for a point after us being picked off playing pretty football in other games, we’re no better than West Ham, Bmuff, Villa ... we’re in that category. He can’t see where our run of wins are coming from.

Thank god they don't get to play us again.

 

[martin tyler]

Should have been a red and penalty. They were better side though. Potter had it right. Away at bramble lane need those fighters today good point maybe an important one

Potter saying Alzate not being in the squad was a tactical decision.

Strewth!

I thought he was being phased in after a slight injury.
