Sometimes you have to acknowledge the role of the opposition

They’re a decent team, that’s a part of why we didn’t dominate in the way we normally do. They also like to dominate possession.

Having leitner back will make us stronger that’s for sure.

I must say, sheff united are a very good mix of physical upfront and good at football.

We’ll play worse and win matches.

  - I think we went a bit more direct and as a result lacked a bit of patience in possession (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:08:11
    - Possibly, but they press high up the pitch and so there is danger (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 26, 17:09:19
      - Don’t disagree - still hope (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:11:01

- They are an excellent side jim tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 26, 17:04:06
  - They aren’t. They are a good side but pretty limited. (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:05:49
    - I sort of agree on that. They look very solid all over the pitch, but really aren't *that* (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 26, 17:09:39
      - That’s exactly what they are and why they grind out results and don’t have many slip ups (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 26, 17:12:08

    - Look how young our defence is not really a surprise is it? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 26, 17:08:48
