Yep..... I feel this is a counter attack job. Their confidence was boosted after their weekend result.

2 minutes of the second half and Westcarr's only scored once.

Too slow :(

Rovverum up to 6th, 1 up on Cov.
Bradford 1 down to Notts County, would be a good night for a win.

Interesting stastical anomaly:

Sheffield scored in the 3rd minute of first half injury time - 45+3 = 48th minute.
Walsall scored in the 2nd minute of the second half - 45+2 = 47th minute.

Considering how well we're playing.
Considering how its a straight forward hour and half up the road.
Considering how we regulary took 500-1000 to saltergate ....

I think this run up of games up until the end of the year will tell us a lot. We need to be getting some wins. Pretty pleased with a point today, gutted I couldn't make it after work. It sounds like we did alright.

From the radio it sounded like Lalkovic had a bad game, again. I still have no idea why Hemmings was dropped. Lalkovic's loan should not be renewed in my opinion, he has had three ok games this season, all against very poor oposition. Spend the money elsewhere.

Never going to complain about a point at Brammall Lane, but can't help but think the last 4 days has been a bit if a wasted opportunity. The frustrating thing is, we'd have been better off winning one and losing the other.

I doubt whether we ever took 500-1,000 to Chesterfield, and certainly not on a Tuesday night 4 weeks before Christmas. If going to Bramall Lane is so easy why weren't you there?

I was just thinking that it's quite odd to be feel disappointed that we've only come out of these two games unbeaten. Away draws are all well and good providing they're backing up solid home form, which tbf we have improved of late. I guess we wont know the real value of the last two games until Saturday against Vale.

Easy tiger.....I mean I'm disappointed we didn't take more that's all.
Couldn't arrange due to unforeseen circumstances, otherwise I would have been there.
I have been to saltergate around this time of year with 500+.

No offence, but that's one of the phrases that really sets my teeth on edge. It just doesn't make any sense. Of course it would be better to win one and lose one, but who goes out to play like that? So - you win the first game and then you think 'OK, might as well chuck this next game now because we'll still have done better than drawing both games' ? We try to win every game we play, just because doesn't pan out like that doesn't mean we'd have more success playing a different style. The phrase seems to suggest we can turn up and win games at will, and that in an ideal world we'd choose to win only 50% of our games. For some reason.

I think Sheff Utd are slightly better now than their league position indicates, so it's a decent point, just as it was at Crawley. Having to travel up and down the country in the space of four days in the busiest part of the season is hardly ideal, but then the Football League are idiots so what do you expect. We've got an interesting run of fixtures up until the middle of January. If we're in the top six by the end of those games then we can start getting excited. Steady accumulation will do me just fine.

Nevertheless, what tonight proves conclusively is that in a game of few chances we CANNOT rely on Westcarr up front. Erm, I mean...
