[William Henry Foulkes]

Brief, biased highlights from United's win over play-off chasing Barnsley

Davies's header was sublime (as was Holt's finish to be fair). Rayt result.

Didn't realise just how good Davies's header was.

Holt keeps finding acres of space around the edge of the opponents' box - guess being small and inconspicuous has its advantages.

Dead balls and set pieces we are suddenly a major threat. (No more floaters.)

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

We have started pressuring refs a bit, something that worked against us earlier in the season.

Murph needs to work on his diving though. That was a pretty embarrassing and exaggerated effort at about 0:25.

Davies header = quality

Holt volley = quality

Same again Tuesday please

Love the way the supporters joined in the hugs with the players, are blades fans happy again?

 

[FTPE]

As for moral, I'm glad it was two of cloughies signings who scored too.

Holt keeps finding acres of space around the edge of the opponents' box - guess being small and inconspicuous has its advantages.

Went on line when he signed and had a look at the goals he scored for Hearts.

Scores a few from round about 18 yards - seems to be a natural position and times the ball well.
Watch his goal yesterday - classic watches the ball and knee over the ball before striking.
Took time to settle but is now producing the goods.

Sad thing is, we look twice the team away from home and we need to transfer the high tempo stuff to all home matches not just Scunny. Holt just needs to create more at home instead of running round aimlessly like Scoogs at times. Signs are though that he can reproduce the form he did a couple of years ago. long may it continue.

Now what Blades team will turn up on Tuesday.................

It was a pretty good throw in too for the second.

It was a pretty good throw in too for the second.

It was indeed a good throw in - headed on by Basham.

Strange thing is: here we have a great attacking weapon and it is rarely seen. Think we scored one v P,boro away early in the season via a long throw, so why not more regular?

We have suddenly started with short corners - again, why have we not done this sooner?

Just makes me wonder what we do in training sometimes.

Just mix it up more often FFS - it's not bloody rocket science.

I'm very happy same again Tuesday .
Honeymoon period over for the dingles.
Outplayed, out worked them and dare I say it Clough out thought them

Excellent header by Davies. Given the delivery didn't have too much pace on it, he's had to add quite a bit of power to score from that position.
