Some comments from some of the experts on here about 13 minutes ago are fascinating to read after we’ve got a result from one of hardest places to go. Honestly it’s embarrassing some of the comments

 

[CornwallBlade]

I’m erect

I was but I came after the second goal so limp and gloppy again

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

They've not lost in 11?
Started playing when we went 1-0 down.
Great pass from arbs for the goal

 

[Blademan89]

Was a fantastic finish from Burrows, when you consider the defender was pulling his arm back/down and unbalanced him.

Same with One, took it well with a great leap.

Lovely pass and a great first touch to set up the shot from Burrows.

 

[Blade58]

Awful pass

It was but tbf he’d only just come on. Made the winner tho so all good

 

[William Large]

Not the best performance, passing was a bit off but I think we were the better side overall. Could argue a draw would have been a fair result tho.

Bristol are a really tough watch based on that, really negative and just looked to spoil and contain for the majority of the game.

Love the late equaliser and even later winner after how they robbed us at the lane a few years back.

Wilder was clearly saving a couple for the Derby which I get, hopefully Moore will be ok.

 

[JJBlade]

MIOM Callum O’Hare for me tonight. Never stopped trying, a nuisance to them all night. Well done.

I slagged him off for going down when he was "fouled", after all it wasn't a trip or pull back, the defender just held onto his hand for a second or two. Surely he could have shook the player off and run clean through.

It worked out well in the end but it might not have done. If you get a chance to run clean through on goal with only a minute of the game left you should be taking that option rather than going down and getting a player sent off and losing the chance to win the game.

It’s the usual suspects, they’ll be sobbing about now as we won. One vocal ‘expert’ vigorously posts when we’re losing yet knows so much about football he’d have sold Anel and Vini for 13p and a bag of scampi fries cos they would ‘lose value’.
They know fuck all about football and are just bitter and twisted old farts- pity them and laugh in their faces while we romp to promotion.

 

[Blade56]

If we can play that bad for 90 and win it in 97 bring on Sunday

Wasn’t a pull back??! Are you actually blind?

I went fucking apeshit when that went in. My poor cat...fireworks just starting to settle down so he's calmed down a bit, then I'm jumping round the living room screaming like a lunatic

Any chance to bitch and they are straight in it.

Brilliant battling finish from the blades. That's what we love.

I don’t think he had the energy to get clear. He was knackered by that point, which is all the more impressive that he won the ball in the first place.

I didn’t think it was a red card either - the other defender probably had it covered. I don’t care though!

 

[bakeblade]

Excellent result, hope Moore is fit for the weekend.

I'd be surprised, just play Campbell and give One 20 mins

Just need Millwall to do us a favour tomorrow

What is grabbing someone's hand if it isn't a pull back???

I bet your cat thought you'd had a rocket shot up your arse

 

[JJBlade]

He's held him yes, by the hand, and only for a second or two, he hasn't wrestled him to the ground.
Your hand is probably the easiest part of your body to get free when it is held, just shake it free and the only option the defender has is to hold even more and definitely stop you, or let you go.
I just think he could have got free and got a clear run on goal with a bit more strength and desire to do so.

Nobody could have envisaged that late winner so O'Hare has to be more determined to get free in that instance.

I think I woke the neighbours up .......... can't beat a 97th minute winner

You said it wasn’t a foul

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Well that was a roller coaster. Someone earlier said that we hadn't had a shithouse result yet and there it was.

Not a great performance but I never expected a vintage performance as we're inconsistent away from home, Wilder unadmittedly would have one eye on Sunday and Bristol have fantastic home form. This highlighted how well we've done considering that beyond our main eleven we don't have much else. Shame about Moore but Campbell and One could be a starting combo.

Does anyone know if Marsh is injured as he wasn't with the under 21s today and wasn't on the bench for Bristol?

 

[Benitachel]

Like others on here I went mad at the end. My dog came to see if I was ok
I just loved the way we won. Brilliant result that reminds us what it means to be a Blade. I’m in Spain and it’s an hour later. My shouting woke the wife up. Oops.
Come on you Blades.
Bring on the piggies.

 

[The Crab]

My flabber is gasted…

 

[ghandi]

A bit of daylight robbery - don’t care

We were the better side on the night but not by much so just because we won it late on I don't think it was daylight robbery

He travelled with the 1st team (back up in case anyone fell ill)

 

[JJBlade]

No I didn't say that.
It was definitely a foul, but not a foul so severe that O'Hare had to go down. A quick shake of the hand and he was free and clean through, either that or the defender has to bring him down.
It worked out well in the end so it doesn't really matter, but a player should be taking the option of going through to score rather than going down after miniscule contact in the last few seconds of a game.

I get Geordie Blade's point, he was knackered and perhaps didn't have the physical strength to get free
