A year ago: United 3 Blackburn 0

This game was probably my favourite last season:
▪︎What a goal by Ndiaye, probably one of the best goals I've seen at Bramall Lane .
▪︎A slight disappointment that we rarely produced a swashbuckling performance like this again, we could have scored six or seven.
▪︎What a loss Norrington Davies has been, if only we had someone producing such quality balls in from the left.
▪︎Norwood - try having a few more shots from long range, you're capable of scoring the odd worldie!

Every time any one of our players has a shot from range and it goes over the bar he gets pelters for it, Norwood would get worse than most.

From memory, and it looked this way at the time - I remember them lining up and thinking something was going on, there was more intent to it than the usual hopeful shot, hopefully on target - they had indentified a weakness in the goalkeeper and took advantage of it. It wasn't an obvious Alan Knill type routine, but I'm pretty sure that goal was from the training ground.
