Grujic got criticised last night because he spent the whole game allowing his opponent to bomb forwards past him, leaving Gunnarsson exposed. I was tearing my hair out at the number of times a Sheffield United midfielder ran onto a pass on the edge of our box with Grujic hopelessly trying to track back a good 5-10 yards behind!


Good reading of the game :thumbup:

I suggest you watch the game again and keep your eyes on Grujic. I'm not faulting Grujic's effort last night and he's fine when the ball is played in front of him with his reading of the game and anticipation, but he was tested with his tracking back last night and simply wasn't up to the task.

Just watched the match back again. Etheridge definitely the right choice.

Glad that Pilks got a few votes, but would be unfair on Etheridge not to win.

I watched the game mate and Grujic was the only one with any sense and you could swear we played with one centre midfielder because the rest was all over the place, you question Grujic back tracking yet Gunnarsson was at fault for the goal letting his man get into the box with all that space ball watching.
