Just back from the game

My player ratings for today:

Marshall 6 punching the ball instead of catching a worry
Otemebor 6
Pearce 6
Shackell 6
Bertrand 6
Huckerby 5 has lost his pace and missed a great chance first half
Fotheringham 5 very poor with his distribution
Pattison 4 can't pass to save his life
Gibbs 1 and that's a bonus point. Why on Earth is he in the side?
Evans 6 no service
Cureton 5 caught off-side far too often

We are now deep in the brown stuf and next saturday's game has become massive in terms of preserving our status. I have a horrible feeling that our staus will be determined by the last game atHillsboroiugh and I'd put absolutely no money on us getting a result there.
let there be no doubt, the Blades deserved the points today although Huckerby and Pattison spurned excellent chances for us in the first half when in the second period of that half we played pretty well. Second half and we gifted them 2 goals and that was that. Some t**t behind me told Sharpe he was " as blunt as f*ck" about 30 seconds before he scored.Had to smile to myself over that. Roeder has a massive job on his hands now and it's worrying that he has signed Pattison and thinks Gibbs is wonderful as that might suggest a summer of signings as successful as Grant's.

If we stay up this season we are going to have one hell of a job to do so next season. Far too many of what is already a miniscule squad are good enough even for mid-table.
