Top man Roy, warms the cockles UTB

“Utd keeper was so bored he started doing John Cleese impressions”

Ha ha ha

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Warm glow.

'If they continue like this I can’t see any team stopping them winning the League' .

Wake me up, I'm dreaming.

“Ref was poor”

Clutching at straws!

How much more enjoyable have these last 2 been, plus the comments from Rosler saying it's best United side he'd seen, it's actually happening, roll on Saturday! Cheers Roy!

Two games on the trot the opposition have said best team they've seen!

 

[DiggerBlade]

Their movement and passing was excellent and they dominated all over the pitch

 

[Broomhall Blade]

"we were very poor tonight even allowing for the oppositions excellence”

I like that word Excellence.


Also like the one poor Shrewsbury fan still trying to put a positive spin on things.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Now I feel bad for Shrewsbury

I hope they stay up, they seemed incredibly gracious in defeat.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Looks like Shrewsbury were so bad we even let Mark Duffy switch sides for a bit

“Ref was poor”

I love this quote ^^^^
Is it the resident Wednesday fan with a half gasp at saying we didn't deserve it?
XD !

I love you Roygbiv ☺x

Keep this up and you might get gangbanged Roygbiv

 

[away ends always empty.]

Sheffield United were head and shoulders better than us , the best side I have seen at the Meddah for a long time .
Their movement and passing was excellent and they dominated all over the pitch , being yards quicker than us . If they continue like this I can’t see any team stopping them winning the League ,
Says it all really, and we did take our foot of gas in the last 15 minutes.

These last 2 "View Froms" have been excellent reading

When you play good football other fans and managers tend to be gracious and acknowledge it. Much more satisfying than "we couldn't cope with their style of play" or "they play a certain way and it's difficult to combat." I'm proud of my team right now. ️

I think very few fans and managers are gracious and acknowledge it, it's usually a case of "they were lucky" or "we were unlucky" or "the ref spoiled it" or something. The rare exceptions are when the gulf in class is so apparent that they would look foolish to deny it. The words from those Shrewsbury fans are very gracious indeed. For the first time since Chedgate we look like we have a team that is a cut above most of the other teams at this level.

Keep em comin Roy. Hope it's more of the same Saturday night!

 

[Bladesway]

When praise comes from opposition fans it means so much more. We are finally looking like a team going upwards. Well done Wilder for culling the shit from the side and bringing back passion in wearing the shirt combined with no little skill and quality.

Something i've seen in the last two 'view from' reports, the opposition fans have mentioned the gears...

On Saturday i read about us beating Vale without stepping out of x Gear and last night reports that in the second half we stepped up a gear.

This is something which we haven't had for a while, going back to Wilson's second season, i'd suggest, but we haven't had another gear to step into when the game is either getting scrappy or if the opposition are able to start to dominate.

We saw glimpses under Clough in the big cup games, that we were able to regroup and then, as a team we were able to step it up - find an extra yard of pace, change things around or win the 30/70 balls when it mattered.

I have only seen us once this season, v Bristol Rovers, so i can't comment too much on what i've seen, but in that game, whilst we weren't spectacular, we were organised, physically dominant and had the likes of Harry Chapman to change things at a critical point in the game. It looked to me in that game that we had a lot more in the tank if we needed to step it up.

This for me is the key. Wilson's first season was a very dominant season and we often had games like Shrewsbury away where we would dispatch teams professionally, like last night, perhaps with a marginal lead, we could then step it up and finish games off in that next gear.

Bradford City on the weekend will be a big test of this. We can expect a fairly evenly matched game, but its whether we then have that little extra will be the key.

 

[PeteBlade]

Not only are we winning but we aren't winning and then reading that we're the worst team to have played all season, anti football good monsters.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Something I haven't seen for a while.....

"They were poor"
"They were there for the taking"- this usually after an unconvincing win or draw.

How refreshing to hear how we are dominating games, passing and movement and the best side they have seen.
6 years late in coming but is this finally the start of our turnaround?

A strange feeling I've not experienced for a good while, optimism, welcome back my old friend.

Getting good these. Tough reading on Saturday though. Bradford don't let goals in
