[BladeInIreland]

substitutions changed it. Great performance by Leon.

 

[BigBed]

In short.........we are Up!

 

[Groucho Blade]

Two beautifully worked goals as well...

substitutions changed it. Great performance by Leon.

This needs highlighting. Leon Clarke does come in for some stick fairly often, unfairly? sometimes. So it's only fair to praise him when he plays well.

Not mathematically certain if we lose and they draw on Saturday, but GD means we will be as good as

[Tazzy]

first half we was too tipy tapy and slow second half we went with hanson and Clarke up top billy just behind and it seems to have given us more room on the wings also sami was class when he came on game changer for me

 

[Stretch]

Clarke and Carruthers were both outstanding.

 

[Harry's Game]

Clarke and Carruthers were both outstanding.

Their best performances in a Blades shirt for me

In fairness it's been well-warranted, and all his better performances have generally been off the bench – similar to the game at the Ricoh. He looked more mobile and quicker tonight than he has been all season.

I'd still keep the starting line-up as is for Saturday.

Actually happy to see Fleetwood winning. Keeps Bolton looking over their shoulders.
Blades as good as...

I'm not so sure he has been playing with injuries almost all season himself & Wilder have said. As for Sat I'd be tempted to switch Duffy for Carruthers

 

[Antonb]

Special mention to laferty also, who was solid as a rock.

I'll say this much, Wilder's a brave man and his changes were spot on. Hanson was having so much joy that putting a second big man on was sensible, but switching to an odd formation, taking Duffy and Wright off, at 0-0 in a game with that much pressure building. That takes a lot of guts.

 

[Rodley]

Hanson was the best player 1st half winning numerous headers.

2nd half we opened them up. Carruthers, Fleck, et al running rampant.

Fair play to Wilder to switching to a 4-4-2 diamond with Sharpey in the hole - a brave step which paid off . Tactically our management team is spot on.

 

[Bladesman]

Well it had to be better second half as the first half was awful.

Quality goal from Fleck.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Hell of a subs bench. Really needed it tonight too. Great credit to Wilder for twisting as soon as he did.

 

[Iceybabey]

Changes were spot on. I thought Duffy was slowing it down too much and seemed uninventive. Carruthers and Clarke, in my opinion, are good footballers with good footballing brain . Carruthers was brilliant on the ball tonight, megged a few of em a couple of times.

 

[1973Blade]

The first 15 minutes in the second half was poor, but a good final half hour. Not Fleck's best hame, but made the first goal and scored the second so the man of the match for me.
