[BangorBlade]

Yeeessss get the fck in

 

[JJBlade]

I'll be worried if Wigan get one sent off now

 

[BangorBlade]

Dont like these 1 -0 leads

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Hundreds of empty seats on john st. Lots of empty seats on the kop. Why are the club saying its a sell out?

 

[jono_t2000]

Doing well should be 2 or 3 up.

Just need to be a little bit more patient tho as sometimes we are just flooding forward and leaving huge gaps in midfield.

Be patient and more goals will come.

ST holders off on holidays?

 

[Bobby b]

That was a lot harder than it should've been, we could've been 3 or 4 up, decent saves, they have had too much 9f the ball for my liking

 

[JJ Sefton]

We’ve played well, should be further ahead, have left ourselves wide open to getting our pants pulled down second half.

 

[Champagneblade]

Not a very good finish from Billy and likewise Iliman needed more composure.

Boro played far worse against Preston and with chances no better than those were up 3-0.

Why can't we be clinical?

1-0 is good of course but those two should have been goals.

Need to step it up. We lost our way a bit at the end of that half.

 

[robbiez666]

Good first half. Terrible miss from Ndiaye, great save from Billy (might be being generous to Billy as I was walking with that on my phone) and poor touch from McAtee. We look the more likely at the moment but Wigan are a threat going forward. We've dealt with it well so far but we're giving them far too many opportunities to get the ball in our box. Need to stop the silly fouls. I think everyone has had a good first half but Ndiaye looks to be at his bets. We need to cut out some of the pointless dissent though. No idea why Robbo is in such a bad mood!

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Quite tall for their height Wigan so play it past them on the deck. MacAtee looks lively but Furious George a bit uncomfortable on the left.

Come on Blades, rip it up in the second half!

 

[Corkblade]

We've been like this all season not putting teams away, playing well though

 

[JJBlade]

It's a Sheffield City Council sell out
The capacity of Bramall Lane and the Swill is getting closer.

Can't be having that

 

[TheFlashingBlade]

Hundreds of empty seats on john st. Lots of empty seats on the kop. Why are the club saying its a sell out?

It’s OK, two of those empty seats on the Kop were ours but we’re sitting in them now - just took 5.5 hours on the M1 to get here!

 

[drblade]

McBurnie please

 

[Brother-Leech]

Once saw a banana skin on some ice in Leeds, stayed for 5 mins, no one slipped, felt cheated.

I’ve slipped on a banana skin on ice before but no one was around to see it and I felt cheated too

 

[Champagneblade]

A few not doing it.

McAtee's final ball has been off and Billy is almost non-existent.

I'd make changes now.

Something needs to happen to close this out.

1-0 is far too dangerous a score.

We have the ball in good positions but are fannying around to much.
We're getting a bit sloppy in midfield too in terms of tracking back.

 

[Bobby b]

IMO 2 good substitutions

 

[drblade]

We should be out of sight with the chances we’ve had.

Come on United

 

[Champagneblade]

STOP FANNYING AROUND WITH THE FUCKING BALL AND HAVE A BASTARD SHOT ON THE FUCKING GOAL.

It's turning onto an annoying performance now.

We keep turning over the ball and leaving massive gaps.

We are now stupidly managing this game.

We need to attack with more pace, none of this walking football bollocks and do the basics of tracking runners.

Getting sloppy.

This ref had been a prick as well. That was a tug on Fleck. Given United nothing.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

We’ve regressed that much this half that we’ll be holding on for the last 10 minutes.

 

[JJBlade]

Exactly
You know United won't go hunting a second goal so late in a game

They'd much prefer to knock another year or two off everybody's life instead

 

[Bobby b]

Why didn't bogle fucking hit it

 

[Belvedere Blade]

3 points for BLADES. Come on Burnley beat Boro tonight

 

[Stevo]

3 points, we march in to the prem

 

[jono_t2000]

Anel at his marauding best.
Ndiaye back in the goals
Mcatee looking confident and much stronger.
Berge hungry for the ball again.
Doyle the new conductor

Life is good!!

 

[Frank the tank]

Huge win
I thought we looked pretty comfortable
Most relaxed I've been watching us all season

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Made hard work of it but 3 points on the board!

 

[Devils bump]

Thank god that banana skin of a fixture is out the way, and 3 points in the bag. No Leeds Easter moment this year

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Job done should have been a lot more comfortable but 3 points onward and upward
