My big worry for tonight is purely based on superstition. When we usually go to The Riverside they are big favourites whether in the league or recent playoffs. We seem to relish the underdog tag. Tonight feels different: we are top of the table and neutrals are looking for us to stumble.

Live I thought he must have been put off by the defenders jump but the more I see it he doesn’t look to meet the with his forehead but rather looks down and lets the ball roll off him. V strange compared to the header he scored
Loved that we overpowered them as soon as there player sent off. As a team we run and play for each other. When we build that momentum we look unstoppable.
At 2-0 down this was a big test and we came through it. Belief in each other and the coaching staff.
Still think defensively at times we...
Really was refreshing to not have to peer over the heads of people holding mobile phones aloft to take footage they will rarely, if ever, watch again. Hope this becomes the norm at gifts, theatre etc.
An interesting evening enjoyed by the four of us. I would have liked a few more of his older classics but was happy to experience some of his more recent stuff.
Excellent 3 pts. With a third of the season gone we are in a better place than any of us thought. Lampard has built a spirit that will hopefully get us through the next run of games with our position at the top strengthened.
Yes McCallum and O’Hare were their two best players. I wonder if either regrets leaving us? I did think if we had both in our squad we would look very strong.
After first 10mins I thought we would get McCallum sent off if we fed the ball early to Tats but we seemed to take foot off the gas and allowed Sheffield to play their game at their pace. Second half we upped our game and when we quickened the pace we steamrolled them for 15mins playing quick...
I thought all the goals legitimate. Not convinced there was enough in the challenge on Tats before their third. I would have been annoyed if given against us
Moore played well. He got the bit between his teeth and we had no answer. Took all his goals well. A decent striker at this level and if you give him time and space as well as ‘get his back up’ he will punish you.
