Away Match Day Thread 03/02/2026 - MDT: Sheffield United v Oxford United

[Peterdev]

It'll be Bromley rather than the Olympic Stadium but it'll be more enjoyable. More chance of winning and promotion and a repeat of the scenes in town that we saw in 2024.

We'll be back (if the panic spending doesn't hurt us).

Also Salford and Swindon to look forward to. Along with Bolton maybe and Reading. Will be tough that’s for sure.

 

[Sarge]

poor poor referee, Backhouse is an absolute Shitehouse

 

[Sarge]

Keep it out Oxford

 

[Common Villager]

One of the most one-sided refs we've had this season.

 

[BrockBuster]

Absolutely s**t ref. Pathetic.

 

[Northstandboy]

Ref waves play on. We lose the ball very shortly after and doesn’t go back!

 

[zstep123]

I dont usually moan about referees but this has been the most appalling ref I have seen in a really long time

 

[greatunclekip]

Bloomfield’s take on the job description - “do what Rowett did with a smile”

If you gave Jose Mourinho our players you’d get the same result. An upper mid table League 1 team embarrassing itself week on week.

 

[Tobytrotters]

Great defending not ,but expected, so sad.So mad

Careful! No criticising Brown, he can do no wrong. Cost us time and time again this season.

worst ive seen since last week

I really don’t want to see us start Vaulks again, He’s a great guy off the pitch but extremely costly on the pitch. When we get De Keersmaecker back it will be really welcome. Brown makes a mistake but it’s a rare one and it’s only because the ball keeps coming back at us. I really like the look of Makosso. Very keen to see how the Korean lad gets on. Maybe see him tonight.

Really think he has been 'fine' at worst today.

I'd be keen to see any of our new players in action. Only Makosso at the back and MPH up front, otherwise it's the same motley crew that got us into this mess. Yes, Bloomfield is getting them playing in a slightly more positive manner, but we're still bloody losing!

 

[Sarge]

fuckoff Backhouse

Someone will point out that it’s not the refs fault that we lost and he did ok.

It might not be; but it doesn’t help and he’s been absolutely abysmal

 

[unification]

Our defenders can block and tackle and head and do their duties there fine but all of them, to a man, are hopeless at distribution.

It invites pressure and concedes possession so cheaply.

 

[Last_man]

ref is such a shithouse

 

[Common Villager]

Vaulks' long throws aren't very long any more are they?

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

I’m about to lose it with this ref, this is cheating levels of bad decisions

 

[uptheus]

We have to press as a team. It’s no use Harris running to shut the defender/goalkeeper down if he’s doing it on his own

 

[carefreeoufc]

Been let down with some shambolic defending for the 100th time this season. Even more frustrating, last season, not only were our defenders better at set pieces, they contributed with 15 odd goals between them. I can accept comical defending if they contribute up top.

 

[isibuko]

I love Cam but he loses his head a bit too often, he's becoming a bit too much of a walking yellow card. We need more calm from him as captain.

 

[Andy1505]

We're just not very good. End of. No hiding the fact.
McDonnell and Donley will hopefully help, as should the new striker....is the new LB the answer? It's going to be a long 16 games I fear.

There’s no-one to pass to! There’s at most 3 players up the pitch

 

[Symp59]

Can we take Harris off ,he's been on long enough

 

[yellowyellow]

what does Vaulks offer? Absolutely awful and now he can’t even throw

 

[BrockBuster]

I love Cam but he loses his head a bit too often, he's becoming a bit too much of a walking yellow card. We need more calm from him as captain.

I think I'd like him more if he just booted the ref in the knackers this game.

 

[FriendlyFan]

Thought that was a decent shift from Lankshear, worked hard and some decent link up play up top. Surprised he went off so early for Harris.

 

[Royalstandard74]

And just like that, it’s game over.

 

[Vancouver Yellow]

Here comes Romeny and Dembele to erm… save the day

 

[Bigfella72]

Good dive from PH, the ref will buy anything

 

[Last_man]

siriki on before jin woo are we serious?
