Nice one Leon

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

Thought the substitutions changed the game tonight , really pleased Leon scored and thought his performance was very good . Hopefully he is fully fit now and can show in the run in just why Tufty rates him although he has been written off by many 'experts' !!!
Great night all in all , and a great place for Tufty to gain promotion on Saturday.
As ever UTB !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[blade too long]

glad for him
suffered a lot of injuries this season

 

[Russ]

Agreed. Him and Fleck were a class apart.

 

[Harry's Game]

Tactical masterstroke, Cov were stopping us playing out and there was only one target to hit, so bring Leon on drop Billy deeper, totally confused the Cov players,

What a management team we have

 

[Iceybabey]

The two people I wanted to score the most did tonight. I almost felt sorry for Coventry with us having Sharp, Clarke and Hanson up top. Once the changes were made I knew that was it, game over.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Chuffed for Leon, he's had a tough season and a lot of stick, agree that there must be a reason Wilder rates him and he was 100% right once again tonight.

 

[Iceybabey]

Hanson was brilliant tonight winning nearly everything, but Clarke showed he can hold it and also turn his man to face up against the defenders.

 

[Lard_Lad]

Happy for him, thought he was brilliant when he came on, showed us the player he is, real shame about his injuries this season.

 

[Ted Hemsleys chads]

I can understand the euphoria because we won, and justifiably so but let's not hail Clarke as the second coming based on one goal and a 45 minute cameo.

I think he's woeful, I hope I'm wrong.

UTBFTFP

 

[Bladesman]

About time he did something useful.

 

[Houso]

And in the midst of a player getting some rightful praise, there's still some fucking killjoys to slag him off.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Scapegoat helps change game and scores. Let's not laud him for a great forty odd minutes, let's slag him anyway.

Every silver lining ....

 

[Sean Thornton]

And in the midst of a player getting some rightful praise, there's still some fucking killjoys to slag him off.

It's laughable. Got to back up earlier claims though. More important than the win tonight for some, that being right business.

 

[flashinblade1889]

Yep Clarke pulled there defence about and made space also that boy Carruthers he's got Championship class written all over him......

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Looked lean, then came on and looked sharp and lively. Well done Leon.

Where is your "like" DronnieBlade ?

Made up for any mistakes in the past tonight for me, every game that goes by now is more important the last in terms of winning that title. He just dragged us one step closer to it.

So that one goal makes the Clarke signing a success?

Glad he's scored tonight and can't knock him tonight, but this "experts" comment is bollocks. Why not just praise the lad without having a dig at other posters?

 

[Ricky]

Really glad to see him make a significant contribution.

Also great to see him score against Coventry! Same with Fleck. Perfect goalscorers!

I hope Clarke replaces Hanson on Saturday.

 

[Blade56]

To be fair to the Tin Pot club they locked us out first half but CW found the keys with Clark and Fleck to open them up.

Nice one CW and nice one ex Coventry players, must be nice playing for a big club at last!

 

[IOM Blade]

Proof read before you post. It's Leon and Lavery. Surprised you didn't put an 'e' on the end of Sharp. Plus, Lavery was injured. Idiot.

 

[blade too long]

cant drop Hanson on that display
drop sharp hes stopped scoring , thats why everyone got on clarkes back

 

[blader]

Hanson was brilliant tonight winning nearly everything, but Clarke showed he can hold it and also turn his man to face up against the defenders.

Well I thought Hanson was dreadful personally! He can win flick ons and that is seemingly the of his abilities. The ball never once stuck to his feet, he gave the ball to Coventry several times which led to them having a dangerous attack and he missed a sitter early on! Clarke looked much much livelier than Hanson. Despite all of Clarke's shortfalls, he can actually contribute to the football, not just as a 'target' man.

I aren't going to say you're wrong for disagreeing but I really can't see how people think Hanson was brilliant tonight. Or most nights, for that matter.

 

[Ricky]

Hanson can play well but not have a positive impact on our attacking play overall.

He was OK tonight but yet again gave the ball away in dangerous areas.

There's a lack of options for our midfielders with him and Sharp up front. We need someone who can run and control the ball consistently. Real shame Lavery's injured.

This scares me now. The fact that so many fans would choose a 1 in 11 striker over the top scorer in the country. The reason Sharp isn't scoring is because the only service he currently gets are flick ins and knock downs. How many times do we have to try this to know that is of no use to sharp whatsoever.

We need to find a way to play to our best striker's strengths, this isn't alongside Hanson, as much as some people want it to be. In my opinion, Hanson has 5 starts left in a Blades shirt. We then need to find a perfect match for our natural goal scorer.

How many chances in and around the box did Billy get today? We know what a goal scorer Billy is, why some fans still thinking he is the fault here? The guy next to me hammered Billy all game, for everything. What does he need to do to prove himself?? You can't criticise Billy for not getting chances when we are only providing him with flick ons. It's like getting a cat and slating it for not barking. Madness.

Completely agree about Billy - he is the best finisher we have by a long distance. I think we did need a Hanson, a decent target man, he's done us a job and give him credit, but technically he isn't great with the ball at his feet either with his touches, passes or shooting, I can't see him having the quality to stay around next season.

hes got a groin injury affecting his game
why was no one allowing clarke leeway when he went through the same

its about fairness

I thought he did a lot more good things then bad things. He bullied his man today and brought people into play a good number of times. With the chance, it seemed easy but I thought the defender did well tbh.

100%

However, what a luxury it is for far and away our best striker to not be needed on the scoresheet when everyone else behind him is knocking em in for fun

 

[Grappler]

Surely tonight, even if just for the one game, no one can be negative against Hanson? He played his bollocks off, chased everything down, had their defenders (literally) hanging off his shirt all night, just kept trying to shrug them off.

Leon played well as well, another player who gets grief, but who put a shift in when he came on and helped change the game.
