Another great win Mr Heckingbottom, but you picked the wrong team!

I'm a big fan of Hecky and it was another great win. But we were overrun at times in the first half and really missed Doyle in the middle. Hopefully Doyle will be back in the starting line up next game, we look a lot more solid with him playing! That's my grumble over, up the Blades!!!

Said in the Shout Box we missed him first half but I was pleased Heck wanted to go attacking away from home.

I think Heck’s biggest issue today was underestimating a fairly decent Preston side.
They were a lot more sttack minded than I expected!
 
I also think it was wrong to bring on Billy, khads for illy to keep em on there toes.. But does it matter? 😂 Hecky knows what he's doing so leave him to continue the top job he's doing UTB TOTL
 
Wrong team, wrong system, wrong players, wrong manager, wrong everything for three or four stood behind us… I’m assuming they are looking the wrong way at the league table too 🤣
 



We seem to be getting away with poor periods of play ... Maybe our terrible luck with injuries is being counterbalanced by some fortune on the pitch ?
Some bigger tests will come in the shape of Norwich , Burnley , WBA etc
I think we have good enough players to raise to these games.

Even if we don’t but we still win all the games we’re expected to then we’ll be up there

The Championship, is upside down
The Championship is upside down,
Boro’s in the play-offs
And the Blades are going down

Harrumph!
 
Ndiaye magic bailed us out.

If he dropped Doyle just to start Brewster that is poor.

Did feel if we rode out that first 30 mins or so we'd go on to win. But it didn't have to be as uncomfortable as it was

But yeah we're going up

Still no good away performance though...
 
True, but we looked poor in the first half and it was only Preston's poor finishing that stopped them scoring. Delighted with the win though!
Anyone noticed it was Swansea poor finishing in the week, now it’s Preston. Maybe we’re just lucky …………………………………… or maybe we’re the best team in the league 😀
 
I do take what the OP is saying.

I think the issue is injuries and how to deal with them.

Without Fleck and Osborn or even Coulibaly then how else do you rest Doyle who is just 20 and was out on his feet against Swansea?

Probably happier to drop Berge back and try to make up for it by throwing a forward up there than to put it on McAtee's shoulders who we're probably happier subbing for N'Diaye.

Hopefully get a few players back so we aren't faced with that type of scenario.

I assume Doyle wasn't 100%.
 
We win and people still whinge 😛
We win. Away from home for the second time 4 days. Keep a clean sheet for the second time in 4 days. Score 2 in one game against a team who had conceded 2 in their 9 previous games this season etc etc etc.

It's almost like some people don't actually give a flying fuck about the team or the club and just need a place to share their misery and try to make the rest of us feel as shit about life as they do.
 



I understand why and its down to fitness. I think Hecky knew we would need to dig in a bit against Preston. Although had Preston got their scoring boots on this season we could have been 1 down quite early on in the game.

Nice option to be able to change in the second half and get the second goal to kill the game off.
