Great performance, absolutely dire atmosphere, contrast with Elland Road where its wall to wall noise, we should be buzzing that we have players like Sereki, Arblaster, Hamer and O Hare and show support, it is akin to being sat in a library. Thats before the mass exodus on 85.

I thought the atmosphere was better than usual and the first time this season when the opposition fans haven't sung 'Is this a library?'* Although there was one feeble rendition of 'Three nil and you still don't sing.'
*Earliest 2 mins 20, latest 17 mins 50.
I love football bingo.

I thought Redewald was our best player, with COH just behind.

The reason Jiro doesn;t move a long way, is beacause he doesn't need to; he reads the game sp well. His reading of the game, was up there with Coutts and Jake Wright.

All abaht opinions, innit,

Agree with Deadbat assessment of Redewald.

He doesn’t instantly catch the eye and is quite underwhelming but we always look so much better/ solid when he’s on the pitch.
He always seem to be in the right place at the right time and plays loads of simple/ easy balls
But he’s a calming influence on the team and has the intelligence to play the right ball almost every time.

They say football is a simple game and Redewald proves the case…..he’s quietly efficient.

Nice report
I agree with your two obs,
1/ Cannon is slowly looking better
2/ Our control of the game noticably dropped of when Blaster and Riedewald went off
But happy days

I'd had about 7 pints and been hosting the annual big Blades quiz after the game with Roygbiv Beans Eggy Webding etc...so was not fully with it!

Might pop the quiz on here next few days!

Excellent stuff.
In the pantheon of heroes, you and Roy are right up there with Achilles and Patroclus in my estimation.

[I should coco]

I think I was a bit harsh on McCallum and Jairo. Now I've sobered up, I'd give them 0.5 more probably

Never, ever, show signs of weakness.

Twats like me, and other more twattier twats, will go for your throat.

I picture you on an imperious throne*, doling out your marks to the peasants, so don't give in too easliy,


*My teenage years were in Anston. I went to Dinno, but my sister went to Wales, so I know Kivo well. As thrones go, it's a bit shit, but don't worry, your secret is safe with me.

Not a complain, ( because I thought we were brilliant ) but we definitely dropped off when Soumare/ Burrows came on... sorry im not a Soumare fan! In my opinion he looks out of his depth, on another note get Bindon signed up Chris
