That’s a cracking result

[@thelane]

to win at the Den...having been 2-1 down, is fantastic....shown amazing character for the second game running.....Chris - if we could just learn to defend during the second half of matches...that would make it perfect!

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

A sensational result, it may only be a game at a time but you can't underestimate the importance of a result like that.

 

[sheffielder]

How we came back from 2-1 will be an invaluable lesson for the rest of the season

 

[SwissBlade]

We’ll probably lose 4-0 against Blackburn during the week

 

[Sean Thornton]

Especially with Cristryanaro Leonardo in their team.

 

[metalblade]

I just wish we didn't have to score 3 to win a game. Sort that defence Wilder.

Er, we should be putting teams like Preston and Millwall away but then again I was spoiled with Villa first half..

 

[Bladesman]

Yep, I have to agree. We can't be throwing leads away like we have been doing.

That said today was a very good result since I would have taken a draw at The Den before the match.

Lol, mate I know. Hate having out of body expreinces, over the "tooing and throwing" till the final whistle. As long as we win though, I'm willing to tolerate it but god is it uncomfortable to watch.

Never understood this. Would you have 'taken a draw' at 2-2? You never know how a match is going to pan out.

This is shaping up to be a very competitive division. Next up are Blackburn who haven't lost in the league for 25 games. Currently identical in form over the last six games as Leeds.


I'd take a draw...

 

[Blade56]

I'd take a draw...

100% credit to Wilder not to settle for a draw that late on but went for win.

 

[Harrisblade]

Er, you mean like Derby put Bolton away and Boro' put Hull away, etc, etc, etc?

Alternatively, Blackburn only have one home win all season... oh well, if they’d lost every game so far people would be saying “oh no, United way” etc

 

[JordoBlade]

The win was never in doubt even after going 2-1 down. We bossed that game but just made a couple of mistakes.

 

[DaleHillBlade]

Maybe, just maybe, just scoring more than the opposition IS the way forward?

 

[don240]

Far too radical, it will never catch on.

 

[diode_blade]

Think what tufty should do is tell the players at the start of each game to just score 6 own goals...opposition will then be happy as they won't have to try and score any more.....

Great comeback though, we always have a mad 5 minute spell.
I blame the half time oranges, someones spiked em with calpol...that's my theory and i'm sticking to it....

 

[Toronto Blade]

2 games in a row they have allowed 2 quick goals .They just need to focus after allowing a goal and get back on attack instead of being stunned for two minutes.

 

[cahill]

Turned Sky Sports and RS off at 2-1, went into immediate depression, contemplated going straight to bed and sleeping through to wednesday, felt bereft. All changed in five minutes .

Shouldn’t be like this at my age

No offence but that's very " piggish "
Teams have to be beaten , by hard work and effort ,
not because we're Sheffield United , leave the massive tinpot bollox to south Barnsley

Surely as a club with ambitions of making the playoffs, we need to be beating teams at the bottom of the table and ideally as comfortably as possible.

That’s not arrogance, that’s just what you need to be doing if you want to go up!

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Not when you’ve got an attacking unit as old as ours. If we keep going back to the well too often, we’ll find it’s run dry. Our play needs to be a bit more ‘malted milk & multi vitamins’ as opposed to ‘mission impossible’ for the next couple of games. A couple of clean sheets won’t go a miss, despite picking up 6 points from the last two games, the elephant in the room is that we’ve conceded 4 goals in 5 minutes against the current worst 2 teams in the league and lost the lead in both games.

I want to beat every team in this league mate , and no that's not arrogant either ,
but giving the oppo the chance to point at your
comments and say look at what these fuckers are saying about us
Gives them a boost , and makes us look like the pigs ,
and let's be right when we get spanked , some on here would come on saying why'd you say that you gave em the team talk there
Give the opposition all the respect they deserve , beat em on the pitch with our better players
Then move on ,
Every club in this league deserves respect ,
except the pigs who need to have vile and vitriolic abuse hurled at them whenever possible .

 

[Sheffsteel]

The evidence suggest there’s not a great deal between the top teams and the bottom teams.

We should be beating the bottom teams BUT it’s easier said than done.
We can’t relax and will only beat them if we’re up for it expecting a tough game.

Wilders pre and post match interviews were spot on.
He made the point that Millwall might be near the bottom but they are a proud club and will come out fighting.
He said he expected a really tough game and mentioned our recent poor record against them.
Also remember that Millwall should have recently beat both Leeds and Boro but comdeded an undeserved last minute goal.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Character. We've got plenty of it.

 

[YorkBlade]

Can any Blades historian or statto help me? I think I may be correct Sheffield United won back to back league games 3-2 for the first time in their history yesterday?

That's a bit of an ask!
Even Silent Blade and Marvin the Paranoid Android together would struggle with that one!

 

[YorkBlade]

Thanks to Todd on Twitter: April 2011: Won 3-2 at home to Bristol City on Sat 23/4/11 then won 3-2 at Reading on Mon 25/4/11

 

[Stretch]

Result of the season for me, so far anyway.

Also, I suspect there are only a handful of teams in this league who would have come back and actually won that game, and they are all clustered around the top 6 at the moment. I understand the concerns around how we switch off from time to time, but more importantly we fucking switch back on!

I have got a very good feeling about this season.

 

[Benny and the Blades]

Bet some would have been just as happy with two 1-0 wins, but where's the excitement in that ?
Mr Wilder told us how his teams would play and it may not suit everybody but my god dunt it keep you on the edge of your seat.
