Yes. We’re easily dominating it.

I think we were the better side - dominating is stretching the truth a little in my opinion.

just to add to that i feel as a prem team the expectations are greater than this, the truth is that BR competed and made the game hard for us, they are only a few places above relegation in LG1

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Great win.
Excellent game.
Great performance.

 

[FriethBlade]

Well I genuinely enjoyed that game and not just because we won. Good character to stick it out. Well done lads

 

[essexblade73]

Lolz, good win finally but some on here need to understand that there is a massive gulf between league 1 and prem but it wasnt evident today.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Banana skin avoided

 

[FredZeppelin]

Easy, easy, easy!
Reyt enjoyed that. Proper FA Cup football. No great skill but a decent game.
UTB

 

[A Storm of Blades]

No Brewster is a concern. I’d have liked him to open his account

 

[Headshrinker]

Also, anyone who expected a side that has not won in like four years, to go out and win 5-0, surely need their head checked?

18th in league one but a wins a win. Just need that clean sheet next.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

And I finished it with them

NO, that's the finish

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

A very entertaining cup tie summed up by Ramsdale having nothing to do for a while, getting bored, and deciding to dick about on the left wing.

 

[Dnblade]

Well done Blades, tricky away cup tie,good luck to the Gas heads in the league.

 

[Tapton Blade]

Well done Mr Speedy and Bogle.

If a PL team had 13 more shots than us, 99% of people would say that we got hammered.

Not about 5-0 its about style and class, I expected us to play like we did when we were in lge 1 and domimating games with stylish football, didnt happen today but hey a win is a win

 

[Half Bond Jls]

That win feel so good it make me wanna slap you're muma...

 

[YES Blade]

Agree, played ok and got the job done so credit for that. Felt like watching a Championship team against a League One team.

 

[Blade-on-Tyne]

We’d get a gold medal at Crufts for this.

Managed to hold on to a lead

 

[JayGreen17]

Norwood needs to start against Newcastle, we lose alot of creativity when he’s not on the pitch.

 

[BanderSerge]

The speed of the spite and hatred aimed towards some of our players, from some of our so-called “supporters” on here, makes me vomit.

 

[Oreyt]

Enjoyable game and we played better, but if you squinted they could plausibly be two teams at opposite ends of the same division.

Lolz, good win finally but some on here need to understand that there is a massive gulf between league 1 and prem but it wasnt evident today.

So what we should do is morbidly moan every match? Were shit at the minute (or not ourselves). We know we are. We won finally. Just enjoy it man there were plenty of positives today, i dont really care who it was against.

 

[robbiez666]

Only saw the second half, but I think we can all agree that we're better than 18th in League 1. They were pretty bad. We did a few nice things going forward, mostly through Burke, but defensively we looked dodgy. We do not like high balls

I just want to single out Ramsdale here for forgetting he was a keeper and charging to the left flank.

 

[SUFCinks]

Exactly - if a premier league team had.

 

[Stevo]

We're gonna win the cup, we're gonna win the cup,you may not want to believe us......

New tactic overlapping goal keeper pep will be taking notes in no time

Right. You’re making a different point now.

Only positive was the result, oh and maybe burke scoring will start him off in the prem. Apart from that it was a display that lacked the fluidity and class we showed when going up the leagues...and we looked shoddy at the back.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

None on here watch Bristol Rovers week in and week out. They maybe playing a blinder further. They maybe way below par. Bottom line we see Sheffield United play and this is not the team of last year.

They have also won 4 of their last 5 games.
