Ain't time going fast? Doesn't seem 2 minutes ago going to Oldham away etc etc now were doing a premier league journey... Proper loving it and today even topped off Chelsea away for me. Even if we get battered some away games im still enjoying the experience with my father and friends. Really think we will never get a better manager than CW, were getting better and better every season. So excited.

Have a good weekend blades x
 



Factors for me that separates this season from any other season I’ve supported us is.

1: Consistency- we aren’t often great but let’s be honest we rarely have an off day. We are at least decent every single match.
Under Wilder we have become incredibly consistent and that was one of the main reasons we gained promotion last season.

2: Defensive strength - I’ve never seen us be so defensively strong. Last season we went away to fellow promotion rivals Leeds, Norwich and West Brom.
For a change I didn’t feel nervous in any of these games. ....we won 2 and drew 1.

This season going away to Chelsea and Everton would be frightening but again I didn’t feel nervous fearing the worse.
Under Warnock we were terrible playing away in the PL only scoring 8 away goals all season.
This season we are a very different animal. We never fear or over respect the opposition, although we haven’t played Liverpool or Man City yet.
We’ve already scored 5 away goals and only need 6 more away points to match the 2007 total.

Under warnock teams like Chelsea and Everton were guaranteed losses you're right. Even Bournemouth was a great point look at their form?!
 
We seemed to be tolerated by all and sundry in our last visit to the Premier League and it really irritated me. This time is different in many ways, almost all due to Chris Wilder. Long may it last.
 
I'm wondering when he's going to let the team off the leash. Maybe if and when we get to 40 points he'll make a late run for top 6.
 
Chris Wilder MOTD interview "probably the worst performance we have done so far"...... a puzzling comment at first till you notice he had a smile on his face - secret mickey take of Everton saying "they only won because we played poor" ?? :)

Think he was just being honest ,it was as poor as we've been with the ball but he's rightly getting the plaudits for the defensive organisation and tactical awareness
Just been watching Sunday supplement and the journalist praised him to the rafters comparing him to a young Alex Ferguson
 
We're fast becoming the side everyone hates to play.
Teams may have more talent than we do but they've got to work bloody hard to get owt.
 
I remember hearing a pundit (can’t remember who but he must have been decent or I wouldn’t have remembered his comments) being asked about promoted teams and how they can stay up and he said something like ‘they might not be able to match or better their opponents on the ball but they can certainly match them off the ball and I'd be telling my players don’t be outworked and don’t be outfought’.

That’s what we’re doing. We won’t be able to pass the ball around like Man City but we can be just as organised and hard working as they can. And we are.
 
Tufty is a winner and his personality runs through the veins of the team. He was of course delighted with the 3 points, but he knows we have so much more to give. Yesterday was a fantastic defensive performance, but yes, I agree we were very poor in possession of the ball. No matter though, those points look very nice when looking at the table :)
