Much like the game against Coventry, was it? I probably will be keeping to the brief part of the title of this piece because I don't want to talk about last night too much because of how godawful it was. So, let's get on with the review.
For the first time in an eternity, United were unchanged from our last game with no one from the previous game actually getting injured. A novelty I'm sure you'll agree. Would that stay the same as we got to the end of the game? Of course it didn't. John Fleck went down injured after twenty minutes and we had to bring on McAtee. You may have noticed that I've just completely glossed over the first twenty minutes of the game. John, I hear you bellow through your computer screen, that's a hell of a long time that you've just ignored, surely there's something you can write about? And I'll answer that question with one of mine own, do you remember anything that happened in that first twenty? I don't think so, and don't go consulting OneFootball. Very little happened in this football game apart from the ball being launched from one end of the pitch to another. McBurnie confused the Rotherham defence with a tapped shot that actually allowed him the chance to get a better shot off on goal, then he hit a pearoller at Johansson before we could all call him a misunderstood genius. Anyway, it looked like it was going to one of the most tepid halves of football at The Lane in a while, until we cocked up and let Rotherham score an easy goal. Egan and Robinson both gravitated to Ogbene like moths to the flame with neither tacking the man who simply rolled the ball to Wiles with the freedom of The Kop to place a shot past Wes and give Rotherham a lead. That was genuinely that for the first half. Nothing else of note happened and it didn't change after the break. Will I still write about it. Yeah sure. Nothing happened apart from Egan forcing Johannson into a good save about two minutes after the restart and that was it as far as good chances for United went in the second period. Rotherham made us look like amateurs and should have had a second from a free kick that was claimed by Wes. Thankfully, that didn't happen, and we just lost by one goal which was nice of us to do. To be fair, there was one positive about this match and that was some visitors we had from Taiwan in Taichung Blue Whale. They were taking pictures in John Street before kick-off and, my goodness, what a fantastic badge they have. I have not thought of anything else all day and that's serious. The badge has A WHALE EATING A FOOTBALL ON IT. It's ace, I love it. It's a top ten football badge for sure. If anyone from Taichung Blue Whale would like to send me a flag with the badge on it, please get in touch because I love it. I love the whale. United? Really bad yeah, not good, really need to improve against Cardiff on Saturday, don't we? Yeah, yeah, we do. Well, that's your lot, I'll see you sometime next week for the Cardiff review (if a stream can be found) if not, I'll see you for the review of United vs London City Lionesses, get down to that if you can, be well good. tickets available here Buy Tickets: Sheffield United Ticketing (sufc.co.uk). Until next time, UTB.
