The Mighty Blades v Derby County - 26/08/2017

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Billy's not good enough for championship they said

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Limiting Derby to chances on the break, but they look pretty good at that. Two absolute gifts (probably the own goal of the season) but you can't really say it's an undeserved lead.

We were due a couple of gifts..

Wow

What a game

Coutts needs to pretend he's playing Derby everyweek

That is all!

 

[robbiez666]

Impressive that.

£10m golden boy Jordan Rhodes: 3 goals in 21 Championship appearances
Fat, won't-cut-it-at-this-level, past it Billy Sharp: 4 goals in 5 Championship appearances

 

[Ted Maul]

Goals:

All of them quite odd, but well deserved.

 

[Reynoldo]

That is the best half of football I've seen for a while, absolutely dominated. Derby are shocked, can see this being 4 or 5. Lavery has taken his chance today, totally different footballer from Tuesday night.

Fantastic performance, first half was top class! Fantastic support, and very accomplished performances - Lavery and Ched both did well with their minutes on the pitch - Coutts was magnificent!!!

Great day!!!

Great performance and well deserved win - and what a way to end the game. We dominated possession and I guess the only minor criticism was that we didn't convert that into attempts on goal for much of the game. Having said that we did have two one on ones with their keeper in the 2nd half.

Fantastic support too.

 

[Russ]

Get in!!

You lot were happy with a 1-1.

Fantastic Blades

Not the best goals we've ever scored, Derby fans will claim them all as lucky

But first comes from excellent pressure, probably the most fortunate, but what a first time finish from Billy

Second comes after a great passage of play, deserves to have someone get on end of cross, cheers Russell

And third comes from them being desperate for a goal, sending keeper up, and again Billy has the composure to take on his man and finish it off

Earned all three of them in my, maybe ever so slightly biased opinion

Well well as others have said the Blades are back. A mediocre Derby side but totally deserved the win, top class from end to end.

Hope that means we are over the slow start like last season and can kick on and enjoy ourselves.

Still need 2 or 3 through the door, an away win is crucial to get the monkey off our back and the team need to start helping Sharp with the goal haul. But 5th in league after 5 games, can't complain with that.

Well commentator can bollocks for a start.

I was going to start a thread complaining bitterly about Billy. 97th minute of the third home game, he's scored 3 goals, all at the Lane End. I haven't paid good money for a seat behind the goal on the Kop expecting to see no goals. And then he receives the ball around the half-way line, no goalie cos he's gone up for a free-kick, and Billy takes 2 defenders out of the equation, and -pure genius- rolls it firmly but slowly towards the middle of the goal, so that we can all enjoy several seconds of celebration before the ball crosses the line. Nice one, Billy, all is forgiven.
