Dear Points of View,

Whilst watching the otherwise entertaining episode of Sky's football league highlights I couldn't help but notice a mistake in the graphics when it clearly stated Sheffield United had scored three times against Millwall's two. Upon watching the programme, despite a host of other chances, i only saw sheffield united score two goals. Why oh why can't Sky get something as simple as a football scoreline to accurately reflect the game they show?

Disgruntled of Warsaw.

That's missing our first...

Interesting how their ‘keeper seems to be off his line and moving well before each penalty was kicked...

Just watched our highlights on Quest and Colin Murray made a good point about us we've got 5 or 6 ways of getting the job done during the game but we'll get the job done really sums the last 2 games up given that we've fought to the end to get the points

Anyone think that for their second goal Henderson was a bit lacking in the sweeper keeper department? Ball over the top bounced long and into our area before Gregory got onto it to put it home. If Henderson had been around his penalty spot and coming out, surely he would have got the ball? Seemed stuck to the six yard area.

Anyone have a clip of Henderson near the end theatrically dropping onto the ball? Made my day!

The ball came to him, he lets the ball stop at his feet, then as a Millwall player approaches he slowly lowers himself to the floor, such that he is lying on the ground next to the ball - but not touching it - then at the last second pounces on the ball and leaps forward a couple of yards as if he has made a stunning save.

2:2. We should have won that

Ultimate respect shown to the blades by their keeper......by wearing our kit

Love the cockney geezer shouting "Come on Millwall fah fack's sakes!" or words to that effect about halfway through.

He might as well have run up to the spot and picked the ball up, he moved so early.

Watching the goals having been at the game:

- First was never a penalty, harsh and outside the box.

- Second was a definite penalty, thought it was harsh at the game but very clever play from Duffy.

- Defending for our 3rd goal was absolutely awful, nowhere to be seen.

Any footage on Bill's disallowed "goal"?

 

[Bladepicker]

Wasn't just Sky. Google notified me we had drawn 2 - 2 at full time....

Are we sure we actually won? Did that Billy goal happen?

If a tree falls in a forest...maybe we only won the game if you were there

To restore order in the universe and for anyone who can't wait an hour for the youtube highlights, here's a link to footage of the first goal

I think that was Sharp calming the celebrations down as he knew he was offside (and if it was, well done!)
That Mark Duffy just standing there with the ball doing nothing, he'll be blowing kisses to the crowd next, cheeky devil.

I love that we've snatched that from them in their own back yard.

Get the fuck in!!

Spirit, that is.

No i don't see that. It's not really a long pun, I think hendo should expect a centre half to be tracking that run

 

[Shirty Blade]

Gregory doesn't get onto the ball until he has run half the pitch, he takes his first touch in our box. Just strikes me that if Henderson is on the edge of his area which is where he should be when the ball is deep in the opponents half he gets there first. He wasn't and so Gregory scored. Agree though that a center half should have been goal side and got there before anyone.

Think special praise should go to Freeman for 2 perfect "wall" passes that puts Duffy in twice for the first and third goals.

Carbon copy touches.

If people go and watch the 3rd goal from the "travelling blade vlog - about 14 mins in" - it's interesting for the third goal that Freeman is almost a centre forward and comes off his marker well to create the space for the wall pass. He does take up some great forward positions.

Duffy is always looking for these kind of situations. We should be much better at these 1-2s, its key to our style of football being successful, pass and move. The first one...the marker even knows what Duffy is going to do and still can't track him.
