Sheffield United assistant manager Stuart McCall admits the players BORED the coaching staff last night.
The Blades were dumped out of the Carabao Cup on penalties by Lincoln City after normal time had finished 0-0.
Speaking after their second round exit, McCall said: "No excuses - it was a flat performance. It would be easy to say it was on the back of Sunday and having a full house against Man City. We discussed that before the game - we have to make our own atmosphere.
"Lincoln brought a good contingent, filled their end and got behind their side.
"It's not to take anything away from Lincoln. They were good and you've got to give them credit. They defended really well in their shape and were hard to break down, but we've got to be creating more than that.
"The manager summed it up at the end - we were bored watching it. That's how we don't want our teams to play; we want to be on the front foot, creating chances and getting balls in the box."
