Boss blasts Blades

Sheffield United boss Micky Adams was unhappy with his team's performance in the 3-0 defeat at Ipswich. The Blades finished the game with nine men following the dismissals of Rob Kozluk and Lee Williamson and the loss leaves Adams` side four points from safety. "It`s hard for me to think of any positives," said Adams. "We had a problem in the final third. We either didn't deliver the right ball or the players' confidence was so fragile that they were setting others up rather than pulling the trigger themselves. "Ipswich's first two goals were killers as both came from set-pieces. They were both avoidable. "The two sendings-off were ridiculous, from our point of view. Lee Williamson didn't need to get involved and I can't condone what he did. It was the same with Rob (Kozluk). He was frustrated because of the tackle on him, which wasn't a particularly nice one. The game was already over by then, though. "We all need to take collective responsibility [for the club's league position]. We have to look at the personnel and whether we need reinforcements, which I think we do."
