That was the week that was!

[1973Blade]

Three wins, nine goals, biggest win against Wednesday for decades, worldie goals by Hamer and Peck, Tom Cannon became Harry Kane and Peck became Glenn Hoddle! What a week!!!

We can watch some football again and not from behind the settee.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Just about recovering from that second half…

 

[N20 Blade]

Great week, but the second half shows our weaknesses still exist. But a great six days.

 

[Gimli]

First time we’ve beaten Leicester in what seems like a hundred years too

Not sure about that for 2nd half today, was a lot of nail biting

 

[Houston_Blade]

Like the reverse of the shit week we had last season, hopefully this now kicks us on

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

3 sheffield doubles too. What a week

 

[Foody]

Fantastic week, 9 points in 7 days is an absolutely phenomenal return. It's worth noting that we've had a fairly soft run of fixtures (Wednesday and Pompey especially). Regardless the league table now looks so much better.

If in December we can pick up one more win than those above us in the league, then we'll suddenly be in and around a big pack of teams. There's absolutely nothing between 17th and 7th at the minute. Be great if we could get into that pack going into January.

If we'd come back from 2.0 down to win, we would all have been delighted in the last few minutes of that game, but it was diffucult to relax and enjoy at the time.

I hoped Campbell's missed chance at the end of thr first half would not come back to haunt us. I have been a supporter for so long I was worried once that first goal went in and we nearly blew it. We were very poor in that second half. Leicester played well but we just couldn't get hold of the ball and keep it and take some sting out of the game. Cooper looked nervous today which didn't help.

If carlsberg did weeks..............

We need to keep the momentum going now.

 

[Plymouthblade]

Bamford did well for me up top on his own fair credit to him

 

[PokerBlade]

I follow Villa as a second team (my Mum's team). If they beat Wolves tomorrow I'd be looking at a week of: three wins for the Blades, three for Villa, three losses for Wednesday (obvious bonus points for one of those being to us), two losses for Leeds.

Not sure football's ever been that kind to me in one week.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Some Leicester fans over to our right had seen enough and were leaving before half-time. We were singing cheerio cheerio to them

 

[Geordie Blade]

For the people morning about defensive 1-0 wins last season, that second half must have been fun!

I agree to an extent but despite their form, Leicester still have some excellent players for this level and if Cooper deals with their goals to his usual standard, we win 3-0.

This week has far exceeded my expectations not in just in results, but performances.

It will become very interesting if we can pick up another 9 or 10 points before the turn of the year. And all of a sudden, that doesn't seem so outlandish.

Got to agree. Cooper particularly culpable for the second. Not sure if he was unsighted but it was right in the middle of the goal.

 

[LBA_Blade]

Rest, recover and repeat! But a great week especially 3 games in 6 days, the rotation has helped but players look like they want to be here which a few months ago wasn’t the case

Davalon oh i agree, just think that we were getting ahead of ourselves at half-time. We had played very well but didn't see it out as easily as we wanted. Great week though.
