Sounded like one of our best performances of the season, this squad has the biggest amount of strength and depth that i can ever remember, and with DC in charge, things are very positive at the moment.

Easter cost us a point? He can be petulant and swipe out but given his age and experience, he really should know better. Harsh. Agree with the rest. |

Harrison fouled in build up to Sheff goal. No he wasn't, he gave the ball away cheaply. There was still loads for them to do though, and it looked like we had the cross covered, until Lines ducked out of the challenge. His reaction suggested he expected Clarke-Salter to do his job for him. That one second of switching off cost us dear, and what Easter was thinking only he could tell you. Even with 10 men we were the better side. Frustrating. |

Having just watched the incident it does not look all that bad. www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/league-one/10596463/sheffield-united-1-0-bristol-rovers I love the way 5 then 6 SU players surround the referee and not the slightest bit concerned about their player. Shocking goal. |

Yes, it does on the replay, but I'm still not convinced. Ellis hit the deck too easily.
Still blaming Lines for the goal, he got stuck under it. I'd let him off if he hadn't had a go at Clarke-Salter afterwards!
Very odd sending off. I think it was deserved, but I can't see what Easter was really trying to do.

Stupid sending off - even if it wasn't a swinging elbow you can't just charge into someone with your elbow out like that. Makes it an easy call for the ref. I think he wanted to flatten someone but didn't keep his elbow down. I'd say highlights suggest he was in 2 minds with the shot he fluffed. Probably was a trip on Ellis but, you are right, he did go down too easily which probably cost him the benefit of the doubt in the ref's eyes. Not really why we conceded though because a lot happens after that. They worked their wide man into space well - I don't think it was that poor a piece of defending on our part. Just no one attacked it properly and that gave the momentum to them. |
