The ball of the game and Gurney asks " what is Allen doing there " , absolute whopper

Hence my confusion! At first I thought he'd played it back to a Sheffield United player and let him in on goal for 2-2!

Yeah, but if it had been Clive he would have said "Great ball by Allen there and the Scunthorpe Utd defence are nowhere to be seen. Now all Haji Wright has to do is to square the ball to Mason-Clark...no, I mean MVE, no, I mean Sakamoto... oh, it's Asante."

Bring back Clive, similarities getting over excited,nah only kidding m

I thought we looked a bit disjointed in the first half and never really got going, a lot of misplaced passes also. Great tactical change by FL for second half, EMC was excellent and their RB was struggling with him. Milan had some great opportunities but wasn’t his night, but still absolute quality.

Think people went on about the tactics vs Wrexham a little too much post Friday. Reality is we can play the 4-2-4 effectively when we’re essentially full strength.

There’s an enormous gap between MvE/Bobby/DaSilva/Torp vs KKH/Wolf/Bidwell/Allen.

would’ve liked to see Frank freshen things up around 80 mins with Simms or somebody as it was clear the ball wasn’t sticking up top.

Huge win and great character shown, beat Stoke and potentially 7 clear heading into the international break which would be dreamland.

Also Bobby is 10x the player Tanganga is. Dodged an enormous bullet selling him.

May have something to do with being at home though?

Just in from the game. Thought their heads dropped a little in the first half after they scored. Almost as though they were feeling the occasion and the importance of wanting to bounce back from Wrexham. Second half a different story, as soon as we equalised their tales were up and it's as though their confidence came back.

A big difference EMC made, instantly felt the game was going to change. He gave us an outlet down that left and they didn't have an answer for it. I noticed in the first half every time we tried to play down the left BTA would make a run inside. Not his fault, just his instinct is going to make him drift inwards, we couldn't break them down as a result. Good to see a half time change.

What a difference it made having Thomas back in the line up, a brick wall. MOTM.
Tats work rate again brilliant.
Shout out to Jamie Allen for that energy he came on with and burst at the end.

Yeah, there was a strange vibe about it.
He did, massively. I suspect Eccles didn't have more than 45 in him, but i think we would've made the change regardless.

Much more like ourselves for most parts of that second half, and exactly what we needed heading into Stoke.

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 incisive football that is so difficult to defend against.

I'm not convinced EMC energised us, the whole team lifted their intensity by 15-20%. I'd put it more down to the half time team talk.

Just got back - massive result!

1st half poor. The structure of the team just didn’t work with BTA left. EMC slotting in there 2nd half gave the balance needed.

Also just felt like frank just took the handbrake off also . Makes me think we need to do 4-2-4 home and seriously consider 5 ATB away.

Get in and got there in the end!! I thought for the first 20-25 mins of the second half we were fucking electric and there was difference

They are absolutely diabolical, bordering on pathetic (What a crying shame that is!) - Judas is their best player by a country mile, I just hope deep down he wishes he was still here and appreciates what he’s missing out on

One thing Chris Wilder teams really don’t often do is concede 6 in 2, but their defence looked miles off it. Sub keeper was dire too.

Credit to Sheff Utd, pressed us right from the off but you can’t keep that up for 90 mins, no coincidence we looked better when Eccles went off, he does what you expect he should do but hasn’t got that bit extra, started the 2nd half with the team that got us where we are and showed why, that 2nd half was some statement, we could have just folded but showed we’ve got that fight in us as well, we’ve got something special going and it’s brilliant,

Lying down on Bobby trying to stop him getting up.
While Sakamoto waltzed in and Smash!
Why did McCallum back him up in the challenge originally, he couldn't get round them either?

Refuse to believe that is the same Japhet Tanganga that played for Millwall last season and was comfortably the best player on the park when we played them over the festive period last year

He looked like an absolute calamity tonight

That was massive, we were unfortunate to be down going into HT but it was a well worked set piece from them.

At no point did I think the game was over, if we just turned it up a bit. The crowd was much better second half and so were the team.

Deserved 3 points. After Friday then going down at HT, for them to come back and win convincingly in the end will do them a world of good.

Point against Stoke (win would be incredible), no injuries and Rudoni to come back after the break. Let's goooooooo

Brilliant night.

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.

I'm not one to bear ill will to O'Hare. He moved on and he probably picked the wrong club. It happens. McCallum was sold and his going helped keep the lights on.

Spot on. I said at the game, these are the types of games early last season, that we don't lift our heads and go on to lose.
It is brilliant, to watch and to feel like this early on in the season for a change.
