    We were absolutely brilliant today. Didn’t crumble after the penalty didn’t crumble at 1-1. Second half was always going to be difficult but as I said pre match our defence was back on form and bar the odd chance we kept them out

    we stopped them scoring (own goal aside) and the pace of the two up front stretched their centre backs like I’ve never seen

    that was brilliant to a man

    thought o9 was shaky today.

    neil was immense, Mayenda was brilliant and special mention to AA, Isidor, jobe and Hume

    thought Hume and Isidor were silly to get booked though

    I said before the game by the end of feb we’ll have played all the tough opponents. That’s number one ticked off

    Only 3 teams scored more than us, only 5 conceded less.

    We are a ****ing good side of we get January right we can absolutely fight for auto.

    Mind, another day like that playoff final, I could handle that.

    One of the most beautiful and emotional days of my life.

    Sick of Sky highlighting Sheffields injury problems when we've got half a team out as well. Boils my piss.

    It was always going to be hard to create chances today. Difference is we were clinical

    2 points off and now:

    Sheffield United go away to Watford who are brilliant at home
    Burnley go away to Blackburn in the derby
    Leeds play hull away

    whilst we’re at home. Big opportunity

    Think Hume's booking was to stop them getting through. Took one for the team.

    Agree about Wilson's booking - daft. However, there were two occasions after that where the Sheff Utd players waved imaginary cards but weren't cautioned. I think the ref was very good tonight, but little inconsistencies like this really irk me.

    Isidor goal looked Henryesque from up in P9

    will catch up with the thread but amazing performance

    rlb maybe is the man, organised and ruthless in possession and miles beyond Sheffield united football miles. Tenacious in a press and direct after it.

    very impressive and one has to wonder about the future of our coach because this level of application with better quality players? Surely someone is watching

    Didn't mind the Wilder interview but he did say three or four times that we were defending for our lives, it wasn't that bad. They didn't actually score a goal all game and we could easily have had a few more, I'd say the scoreline flattered them if anything.

    Great performance by the lads. Even if they had lots of ball and territory second half, it was still Cooper that was the harder working keeper. There is NOTHING to be scared of from the other three in the promotion race.

    Definitely a touch of Thierry about Wilson. I'm not saying he'll be a better player but I think he's faster and also hits it harder than Henry. Get him signed up.
