It's over we've beaten the Blades at their own place in front of 18K and two 'goals disallowed! Am I dreaming?

Great result. Well done lads. Away supporters' feedback will be interesting to hear.
Squeaky bum time was made more squeaky flicking between BBC site and Welshie informing us of the disallowed equalisers. :wink:

Apologies for that - I was following events on Betfair, which reports happenings loads quicker than the BBC. Squeaky bum time was never so appropriate!!

According to The Blades forum they shouldn't be losing to 'the likes of Walsall'.
Errr, the same Walsall that nearly got promoted last Season while they were rotting in the lower half of the league?! :roll:
Up and down results are indicative of a young, inexperienced side and it will probably be the case all season. Get so fed up of the tiresome drama on here after a defeat....

Re: Sheffield Utd (A) League One, Tue Nov 29th 7.45pm
that has to go down as result of the season so far.
just goes to show how shakey this league is and anyone putting a run together can climb the table.
good comeback from the last away result so have to say well done to staff and management and the 180 brave Walsall souls that made the journey.
shows that just because youre a big club in this league doesn't mean you have a right to win the match and the league.
2 wins in a month or so at sheff utd is no mean feat.
nice break now and refreshed for the Fleetwood match which will probably be called off for waterlogged pitch because somebody spat on the pitch.

Follow it with Betfair - much quicker response than BBC, and I needed to use Betfair to try and cash out my "less than 2.5 goals" wager. As it turned out I could have left it running and made 215%, but I cashed out after 18 minutes taking 14.7%, which is quite enough, tax free..... :D

It's oh-so-predictable, Funkmeister. You would think they would have learned some humility in their numerous years in League One, but no, that would be asking too much.
They may have 20,000 gates, but their footballing 'style' over the last few years has been dreadful to watch.

Re: Sheffield Utd (A) League One, Tue Nov 29th 7.45pm
ok what a fantastic win tonight, this could work out 2 ways, it could springboard our season which i dearly hope it will, or it could be another flash in the pan :| i really can't predict what happens next?. It will all be in vein if we can't string some results together. lets hope JW has learnt something from tonights game and we can start to play to our strengths with the right team and the right tactics :D

Easy...........in view of the fact that you say we will lose every game the odds are that they can prove you wrong more often than not. :)

Re: Sheffield Utd (A) League One, Tue Nov 29th 7.45pm
Bakayoko starts
2 up front
Toner doesn't play
Makris doesn't play
Chambers and Edwards get some help in the middle
We got all that we've been asking for
Lightbulb moment for Whitney
Got to give him credit though this was a good result full credit to the manager for the changes
Should keep us out the bottom 4 over xmas and see what happens with loan players in January

Re: Sheffield Utd (A) League One, Tue Nov 29th 7.45pm
Just seen the highlights.
Fantastic ball through for goal from Ozzy and well taken by Baka too.
First of their disallowed goals looked like a push from one of the other Sheff Utd players close to the guy who put the ball in the net but whistle went early.
Second disallowed goal was a great handball spot, probably by the lino.
Their penalty was simply awful!

Re: Sheffield Utd (A) League One, Tue Nov 29th 7.45pm
Just got back from the game.
That was the most one-sided (for the other team) game that we've won that I've seen in a long time. The lads defended superbly, especially in the second half. O'Connor was solid at the back and kept us in it throughout the game. Preston was another who stood out for me. Bakayoko took his goal well after a great pass by Oztumer.
Unfortunately most of the action was at the far end of the pitch to us so I can't really comment on most of the decisions. When their first goal went in, I'd heard the whistle before he took the shot but no idea what it was for, I think someone fouled Laird. The penalty was a surprise to us as we thought Etheridge had made a great save, and then there'll all gathering around the penalty spot. Etheridge saved well but in fairness, it was a poor penalty. And then the whole stadium were convinced they had finally got the goal that was inevitably coming and I was just texting the Mrs before it became apparent that the ref had cancelled it - apparently it was a handball.
Overall, we still didn't have much up top, wasted possession throughout the game, but defended attack after attack from a decent Sheffield United side - well done lads. Up the Saddlers!

Re: Sheffield Utd (A) League One, Tue Nov 29th 7.45pm
Just got in. A highly enjoyable evening.
I wouldn't say that our quality was that great, but whatever bust-ups there may or may not have been between Whitney & some players, there was no doubt about the grit, determination and endeavour that was shown out there tonight. The way that players were throwing themselves in front of everything was a joy to behold. I thought our luck had run out when they got the penalty ( was it O'Connor's arm/hand?) but thankfully Sharpe(?) had been taking lessons from Don Givens!
Bakayoko only got one opportunity but well done to the lad for finishing off Oztumer's excellent through ball. I think he needs a striking partner to bring out the best in him as I am unconvinced by playing one up front.
All in all a highly encouraging display that we hopefully will build upon
