    Replay shows that Sarr was onside when he crossed to Pedro for the goal.

    Routine win. Made it a little harder than needs be. Nothing to get our nickers in twist over.

    Sure someone will still be a target for the boo boys though

    Looks like it’s Cleverley today .

    Yeah, it was from around my lofty perch. Youngsters mostly.

    I had half an eye on a Sheffield forum. If you think some of our fans can be over critical of a player, then you would see how mild it is. During the game half of their team came in for some truly vitriolic abuse. By sixty minutes they had given up all hope for the season with this bunch who would not get in a pub team.

    Good result tonight, could have been more goals for us and one or two for the Blades

    Pedro looks fully grown now and has a maturity ahead of his years could be our next superstar

    Dennis looked up for it but Sarr possibly not fully fit, Sema looks like a very good player at this level again

    Will take 10 games to see where we belong in this league but so far so good

    I like the Pedro version of Gold

    Yes saw that.

    Guess they didn’t have many shots and basically defended by kicking the ball out !

    Must admit thought Billy Sharp would be more of a threat if he started tbh with his experience etc .

    They did bring on a striker who cost 23 million pounds themselves too.

    The result always adds to the feeling though - they would have taken a draw whilst we’d be disappointed.

    Does seem like fans feel they haven’t done enough to improve their squad from their pint of view but it is only one game .

    No, there was a medical emergency, the people trying to get on the pitch, including a Hornet, were trying to stop play to try and attract attention of medical staff. Watford fans in lower part of SEJ were assisting the Blades’ fans to stop the game. Fan solidarity at its best. The people who tried to enter the pitch were initially throw out, but aftera while sense was seen, and they were allowed back in.

    Lady in question had an allergic reaction.

    Hope she is ok.

    Not sure what that corner was about, but this is how fast you can score on the counter attack.

    They seemed to be blaming the ref for getting in the way of the ball but still was an excellent counter attack from us .

    Ample opportunity to clear the pass from Kamara to Dennis, but they didn't. Straws and clutching...
