What a stunning first half performance

 

[ASTONBLADE]

Best half of football we have played for a long time

 

[Bobby b]

That is the best 1st half of football ive seen by United in Possibly 5 years and probably longer, that was perfect. Everyone has not only worked so incredibly hard both in possession and out, but we've looked so dangerous everytime we've gone forward, we're 3 nil up but arguably could have been more. Brilliant

 

[YES Blade]

Well I wasn’t expecting that, great first half! More of the same in the second half please

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Absolutely spot on in all ways. Cracker from Peck , replica of Brown v Wednesday

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Absolutely awesome Blades. Let's have some more!

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Everyone needs to stop being so cheerful and remember scoring 3 goals isn’t actually an achievement according to our esteemed neighbours

 

[1973Blade]

Brilliant half so many great performances, need to keep going. So much better with Riedewald and Seriki in the team.

 

[utd4ever]

Loved that first half. Feels like they have come together with the right formula and the squad depth means we should kill games off.

 

[SB_90]

says how bad our defence was under selles our GD is still -6. despite 9 goals & 3 clean sheets in a week

 

[tyke1889]

What was Wilder getting upset about? Thought someone was injured?

Campbell I think

 

[Shakin Stevens is my Dad]

Everyone needs to stop being so cheerful and remember scoring 3 goals isn’t actually an achievement according to our esteemed neighbours

There’re right, scoring three isn’t an achievement! But keeping a straight face while watching Wednesday trying to defend? Now that’s elite level comedy.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Hopefully he’s finally worked out his best system, and we’re not just having a purple patch

This is a purple patch regardless, you can't have this sort of week otherwise.

Hopefully we can sustain a decent, midtable level of performance when it wears off.

 

[10p]

Brooks is playing with real intelligence.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Hopefully we can kill it off to give Hamer and Chong minutes that we want to give them.

Ideal first 45 in a 3 game week.

 

[BangorBlade]

Great to have some actual, good competition now at RB!

All his balls into the box have been excellent looking back to his best

 

[lakedistblade]

Service into Campbell and cannon has been great. Their execution not so much. Bamford pls.

 

[Jon B]

Brilliantly taken by Sydie, though he must have taken invisibility pills as no Leocester defender was anywhere near him at the corner.

 

[espoo blade]

Campbell I think

Hopefully nothing serious then. 3 goal lead plus decent options on the bench so we can take him off as a precaution if needed.

 

[Teddybear]

I am bit surprised it is Cannon and Campbell. Campbell has clearly benefited from having someone to play off ( and Cannon certainly needs it). Neither off these two are really going to drop off play. But maybe we expect to be playing more on the counter attack.

yep cannon needed it

 

[bakeblade]

Campbell I think

He gave it away cheaply a few times and CW wasn't having it. It worked as Campbell came alive again.

 

[utd4ever]

The championship is the weirdest league going. 3 more wins and there’s a chance we get near to playoff positions.

 

[prescotblade]

Have their fans left yet. I hate to say it Leicester can’t be that bad second half and we don’t start tiring. Wouldn’t it be nice to score eight goals, am I beinggreedy

 

[bakeblade]

Weirdest and the best

[Pintor75]

N way their manager survives this, keep going blades, don't sitbak

[Sheffsteel]

H-T Leicester 0 Blades 3

The instant observation is playing style.

Leicester are playing a patient sideways passing style but it’s all very slow….almost identical to how we played under Selles.

United are clearly comfident and it’s noticeable we’re much more direct.
It’s suits us that the Leicester defenders are trying to push up to the half way line so there’s loads of space behind their defence.
Their players look lost like they’re instruction is to keep possession….for some reason they aren’t showing much intention to score,

In many ways it’s reminded me of the 2md half of the Sheff Wed match.
Leicester look rubbish and don’t even seem to be showing effort….it really looks like their players want their manager sacked.

We’re 3-0 up and it’s probably fair….we’ve had 2 other great chances..so could be 5-0 up.
Cooper hasn’t had a save to make and not even touched the ball.

The only potential,concern is the match has been too easy…shockingly easy.
Let’s hope the players stay focused and don’t switch off thinking the game is won.

That was easily our best half of the season…we look so confident.
No wonder with Peck scoring and Cannon showing movement and desire.

Really enjoying the Seriki-Brooks link-up recently
