O`Hare needs to be wired up to the national grid. Energy crisis solved.

 

[Paul1963]

Jesus, the player that tried to stretch the keepers foot/leg out

Larouci

The fact that it is peck trying to get on the chance at 95 minutes after playing all games while Brewster waddles about like a fat kid in a sweet shop, shows how shit and lazy Brewster is and why he never scores. Those who say he doesn't get chances need to just watch how sodding lazy he is

That was a real bad look

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Peck with monumental effort that's 2nd half, mom for me.

Had 1 brain fart first half but apart from that not put a foot wrong, some big challenges.

Peck and Davies superb today. Peck like a terrier and Davies holding the midfield together.

Shows a lot about his mentality- made the mistake against Sunderland but head hasn’t dropped and he roars back with a MoM performance. Top player

 

[YES Blade]

Great result and performance, gave everything out there.

Now please sign some players!

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Jesus, the player that tried to stretch the keepers foot/leg out

Looks like a full on rolled / sprained ankle. From experience hurts like fk. Last thing you want is it being yanked on.

Get in...

 

[Hollinsend]

Well done blades. Safe trip home for everyone

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

Brilliant result,well done Wilder and co,fantastic for the young kids. UTB

 

[Pollingtonblade]

I said we will win, massive statement that.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Hung on towards the end but that wasn't unexpected with us running on fumes right now. Up to them thought we were better side for large parts of the game.

Some really important character in this side. If it wasn't for points deduction we would be top.

Even if we drew today I would have been happy with the character shown.

Hope their keeper is okay that looked horrendous

Give up,Peck needed a rest cause he wasn’t good enough. I heard it on here !
First .

Nailed it..character on full display today

 

[Jan Age]

Got to be honest .. I thought we played well all game and I enjoyed the game… we went out to attack and we did just that… a properly entraining match and a massive three points

 

[YES Blade]

Peck and Davies superb today. Peck like a terrier and Davies holding the midfield together.

Got to say how impressed I’ve been with Davies, he seems to be getting better and better the more he plays.

Real bonus to have him contributing like he has so far this season.

 

[Blademan89]

First .

But he does look like he needs a rest? Although he has put an absolute shift in today with some big moments, credit too the lad for finding that extra gear and pushing through.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Playing like we have 10 men. Has it been like this all game, i only caught it from 60 mins?

No we dominated the first 60 minutes without creating a lot.

Think Watford had been watching the Sunderland game because they seemed happy to sit back letting us have the ball making us look like the home side.

Was really disappointed with Watfords negative tactics but eventually they woke up and threw the kitchen sink at us in the last 30 minutes. Our defending was so panicky and agree, it did look like we had 10 men towards the end.

Was a very entertaining game for the neutral. Overall we deserved to win but we looked fragile towards the end and could easily have drawn that so it’s a nice confidence booster because we battled so well with 5 or 6 1st teamers out.

 

[Keen Blade]

I haven't been able to watch today , not listen (don't live in Sheffield) but just following Sky updates & this thread , I can tell it was an absolutely heroic performance to get a win down there.
Well done Blades.
There is a bit of respite now - 2 weeks to get reinforcements and some key players fit.
Are there any rules about how weak a team we can field in the FA Cup ?
I wouldn't play anyone who has the slightest suspicion of injury

 

[Argentinemanager]

I had no idea how we could possibly win but what a performance under the circumstances, well done blades

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

He's young, he'll recover. Also, good luck asking him to take a break. He looks as determined as any player as I've seen. 100% Blade

Mentality is 100% on point from him. Doesn't hide. Plays with his heart on his sleeve.

Best result of the season

I think all but Cooper has slight injuries...might have to field an u21 team or u18. FA would love that!!

Appreciate the write up

 

[Blade56]

Next 2 weeks will define next 5 years

Are you watching Uncle Sam?

They all do,he does a lot of shit work that goes unnoticed and does a good job,maybe 2 weeks steady work for them all and get some bodies back and hopefully strengthen in that time. He’s going to drop a bollock now and again,youth is no substitute for experience,better to learn in the championship rather than get hammered in the premier.

This thread and Shoutbox both smell of stale piss thanks to all that pant-wetting before kick-off.
