Very frustrating day, which ultimately doesn’t really matter. Starting all of Wright, Rudoni and BTA who weren’t fully fit left us very little inspiration later on when we needed it. Sakamoto a big miss too. Ended playing a ton of floaty crosses that Sheff Wed were very happy to defend.

HT: Weathered the early pressure and began to play towards the end of the half. Just need to up everything by about 10% to win this. Wright looks a little rusty and that has killed us a little in promising situations.

Really had to dig out that win as it felt like we were letting it slip at various stages. Keeping our powder dry on starting Rudoni, Wright and EMC left us with the perfect pep up and gives us fitness in the bank to all but finish the job on Monday.

Started so well and we’ve gone completely flat in the last 15 minutes of the half. Become really timid and wasteful on the ball. Need a rocket up us in the second-half or this is only going one way.

That felt like another significant win. That looked like one of our toughest remaining games and we saw it out with ease. Getting 80 points before the last international break is huge. Starting look like a case of when, not if.

Very much not a 3-0 performance from us. Ultra clinical while Swansea have missed som big chances. You’d think we can see this out but I remember the last time we went three up against Swansea.

Very frustrating. Felt like the game was passing us by at 0-0 and took Southampton going ahead for us to show any intent but lacked conviction to take the chances that came our way. Feels like we’re missing a conductor when we’re chasing games but could and probably should have salvaged a point.

That was a complete non-event. Totally in control and barely broke a sweat. The kind of win that is perfectly welcome this time of year. Another three like that and we’re up. #PUSB

Hard to pick out individual performances today, everyone did their job to perfection. Rushworth superlative in goal, Wright and Eccles put in great shifts. Lampard played his substitutes perfectly. Moving to a back three limited Bristol City to pot shots, Simms and BTA reversed the momentum.

Another really solid away performance and we edge closer to promotion. 4 more wins does it, maybe 6 to win the league. Big push this week and we could be on 80 and all but there.

HT: We’ve been clinical and should be set for a comfy win but that red card is going to make it a tough second-half. Probably need to survive the first 20-30 mins before hitting them with BTA’s pace against a tired defence.

Felt like some of those away wins a few months ago where almost all the key moments went our way. Far from perfect but if you can stay in games, you give yourself the chance to get points.

HT: We’re trying to sit in then break but aren’t using the ball well enough for that to be effective. There are gaps at the back of Sheff Utd to exploit but we’re fluffing our lines and inviting pressure.

We really picked out moments to sit deep and when to come out and press well tonight. Possibly a template for our away performances.

That was very enjoyable. We looked far more engaged and energetic for the most part than we have in weeks. Onyeka seemed to empower others to play aggressively. Rudoni and Wright excellent when we went more direct.

A look at new signing Frank Onyeka, who should be a good addition to the squad but is possibly being built up as a different kind of player to what he actually is. #PUSB sidewayssammy.com/2026/02/06/n...

Fortunately, our position has got that much worse this week. If we can show composure, this doesn't have to get out of hand. Winning our remaining home games is vital. Lampard and co have three weeks to find a fix to our away form. Ten more wins should be enough and still feels doable .

It ends with a pass from Grimes straight out of play when we're chasing a goal. Just a complete lack of quality, intent and desire after their equaliser went in. We're sleepwalking.

HT: We look really short of inspiration and continue to leave gaps at the back. Despite a change in personnel, that midfield looks all over the place off-the-ball. Need to find some quality and energy in the second half or we’ll lose this.

A write-up on new signing, Jahnoah Markelo, as I try and make sense of why the club have signed another winger. #PUSB sidewayssammy.com/2026/01/28/n...

That is not how you set up away from home against one of the form teams in the league. Way too open in the middle, especially with a such a lack of effort through the team to track back. A lot to work on.

Terrible from Kitching but absolutely brain dead defending not to track the run of Ahmed there. Amateurish levels of ball watching throughout this game.

Had a couple of good spells, otherwise it’s been very nervous and hesitant defending. Going to need a couple more to win this if we don’t tighten up. #PUSB
