VIDEO - Sharp's winner v. Posh

[Kenilworth]

Looks like Freeman made the cross, but i'll stand corrected......

Looking back I'm not sure it was Freeman. Who ever it was take a bow lad!

O'Shea
You can see Freeman getting into the box to poach if Billy doesn't (as if)

Great shape on the cross. Keeper no chance of collecting. Good job Hanson's hands are invisible

Agreed - can see Freeman running into the box as the cross goes in. Hanson all over the back of the defender but he doesn't appeal the goal

In Wilder we must believe , a few doubters and I was one when we bought the big lad from Bradford , appears to be ideal partner for Captain Blade, great old fashioned goal, far post knock back for Billy, great result always gonna be a tricky game.

Replacing a defender with a striker and then giving two players their debut in the last quarter says everything about Wilder's confidence in his own ability and his players.

It also shows just how much he wants to win every single game home and away. Such a refreshing change from what's gone before (mentioning no names )

Sorry GrayBlade ........ i'm just so happy !!

My comment was aimed at the post calling the fans twats - not the fans themselves. I love to see our fans celebrating - couldn't care less that a few spilled onto the pitch.

It's hardly Millwall at Luton. We were all young once.

Never mind who put the cross in, what I want to know is what's he doing?

 

[stringjunior]

Sounds like we deserved every bit of that goal.

Fuck it. I'm gonna call it. We are UP.

pommpey

Oooh steady on. Footballing gods an all that.....

 

[Pierre's PC]

Great backpost header from the large gentleman. If he does the same a couple of times a game then I'm sure we will benefit from it more often than not.

On a wet n windy A1.

How ducking ace was that. ...

He's trying to start a Poznan.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

crackin goal... great unselfish play and awareness by Hanson there as plenty of other greedy strikers wouldve gone for that header themselves and probably missed

 

[Seanshoreham]

One of those 'wish you were there' moments

Its great to be a Blade

 

[stringjunior]

How the funk do you keep so still Foxy when it's going off like that?

 

[Karaoke Blade]

I'm I the only one who can't see this video? Never mind, it sounds amazing!
Well done Blades!

 

[Selly]

Bog lining (as it were referred to at Ecclesall Jnrs) at its finest from Sharp.

Fat lad from Sheffield - maybe, but he knows where the back of the net is...

 

[essexblade73]

Hanson's knock back to Sharp...

Class.

glad someone saw that, was a lovely cushioned header, some other strikers would have gone for goal

 

[FleaPitBlade]

Its was JohnO's cross. Freeman, our right back, was exactly where you'd expect him to be in the 89th minute of a tight game at 0-0 away from home, and that was in the oppo's 6 yard box!

 

[itsinyerblood]

As it looked a deliberate headed pass from Hanson it's even more of a special goal. To know Sharp would be exactly at the back post is fantastic, well done the big fella, and well done Bill for such brilliant instincts, you cannot teach that sort of positional play, what a time to score too! And a clean sheet plus Scunny lost, what a team, what a day!

 

[IOM Blade]

Wright.

2 GAMES 2 WINS

And just as important, two clean sheets. UTB!

If his unbeaten run isn't a record then it must be pushing it.

 

[Razor1967]

I stand corrected said the man in the orthopaedic shoes....

 

[sitwell]

Hansons movement in the box is superb making himself a great target and he gets up a least a foot above the defender. His work rate is terrific too, great signing.

I liked Hanson's movement to the backpost as the cross was being lined up, getting away from the centre halves and ready to attack the ball, competing with their right back instead. As it took some time before the cross came in it was tactically "correct" for O'Shea to aim for the back post, as defenders tend to get drawn towards the ball/first post in those situations. Sharp also shows good anticipation in moving towards the first post and being fully switched on, even as Hanson heads it back. A lot of strikers in Sharp's position would just conclude the cross didn't go to them and switch off. I think we saw the value of experience, and also both strikers' best attributes on that goal.

Today, I was also shielding Linz as bodies came over the back of seats all over the show.

 

[raul]

And you were focused on the gilfs bottom in front.

 

[Ricky]

That was precisely what you have in mind when you sign Hanson, and when you pair him with Sharp.

He wins the header, Billy gets on the end of it to score.

What a fantastic moment it was. One of the best of the season for sure. Think I hurt my neck celebrating.... oh well.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

In the first half against Wimbledon Hanson had a header in a similar position but went for goal instead of putting Billy in.

Hopefully it signals the beginning of a productive partnership
