Can't believe how big Gus has got.

Shame as he's such a talent.

You’re a fucking idiot mate, it’s an open discussion about a game we’re all watching, if I have an opinion I’ll say it. When I’m sat there watching a few rows away from them at the Ricoh it’s a different story, but I don’t think Jack Rudoni would know much about bukayosakamoto on sky blues talk suggesting Torp should come on for him at half time.

well ironically you’re arguing your own point - an open forum where my opinion is you massively overreacted and panicked with more than half the game to go (and it’s a good job you’re not the manager…you’re clearly clueless) but you call me an idiot for sharing that opinion, yet in the same breath argue that’s what a forum is for?

who is the real ‘idiot’ here?

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Rushworth had a great game handling wise but he wasn’t really kept particularly busy?!

That save from that offside attempt was unbelievable. I keep saying it but he should be our first summer signing.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Fucking enormous win. Statement win. Putting a few demons to bed with COH and Hamer. Coming back from a goal down at a tough away game. Shoring up and doing what we needed to near the end. Dealing with a physical side.

Omg it's happening, it's actually happening, wtf do I do

You renew your season ticket and book a nice holiday abroad during the play offs.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Will be interesting to see what side we put out for Stoke. A lot of knackered players out there tonight and only 2.5 days rest.

Same for Stoke!

 

[Sick Boy]

Not many Championship players i'd take if we went up but I feel like Brooks might be Prem bound. Pace and good feet kills.

I’d sign Hackney - how much do you reckon you’ll sell him for in the summer @Ipad Boro @Kris_Boro ?

 

[Skybluekyle]

Probably running on a few minutes of sleep and about to head out to work. I'm exhausted, it's going to be a long day.

The Hawthorns and Bramall Lane are two grounds you historically just feel you are going to be lucky to walk away with one point, and we've just picked up three points from both.

Keeping my feet firmly on the ground, as I know what this division is like, but it's difficult not to get a bit excited. Yesterday felt big.

 

[skyblue_55]

A fantastic week , with Boro put to bed & the other 2 historically zero point games, turned on their heads ……we are making a true statement of intent .
Let’s all enjoy & can’t wait for Saturday

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Fantastic week, game last night reminded me of Burnley doing the same to us at our place when they went up last year.
Not pretty but effective and got the job done

Will take 7 more of those please

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Brilliant result last night, away at Brammal lane is never an easy game and our recent record is a bit pants there, but another much needed three points.

Plenty of rest needed ahead of Saturday, with another big game on the horizon.

7 more wins will do it from here.

I forgot about that tbh as it was offside, but yeah it was great! Pretty much the only non-routine save he had to make though.

However, his handling was superb, catches everything and I never feel worried with him in there. Just fills me with confidence. Some big claims near the end of the game as well.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Goes down so easy
I’d hope he’d say to both players stay on your feet

 

[torchomatic]

Who's Saramento?

When was the last time we win there ?

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Apologies to the nice fella from Lincoln, and his two kids, who I said I would back to the station with. Somehow conspired to make a simple 15-minute walk into a 45-minute slog with multiple wrong-turns, passing through some less than salubrious parts of Sheffield. In the rain.

Hey, it would have been worse if we had lost!

Great dive goes down like he's been shot

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Won there in League 1 at least once

What a huge night that was, far from some of the free flowing football we produced back in the autumn, but the lads showed the sort of resilience many (including myself) doubted that group had by coming back from going a goal down. Winning ugly at this time of the season away from
home is exactly what champions do.

On a side note, I think that was my 5th visit to Bramall Lane & the atmosphere gets worse every time. The locals were not happy on the walk back to the car last night.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Tananga caught him on the head with his studs at the end then started gobbing off when BTA called him on it

Not worth getting a red card after the whistle and suspended again though is it. He’s already been banned for lashing out, you would have thought he would have learned his lesson. EMC was wrestling him away being like bro chill out and enjoy the win with the crowd

Very concerned about the Haji injury. What do we know so far?

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Tho



I thought it was just accidental and Tananga didn't even realise he had caught BTA on the head with his studs

Was 100% accidental

Fantastic result. In football speak ‘I’m over the moon’ this morning. Defending was incredible. Everyone put their body on the line; tackles, headers away, holding shape, supporting each other, blocking everything. It was most impressive at one point in first half when during one Sheffield attack I think we made four goal bound blocks one after another. Lati has been a revelation last few games…just wait till he has Vik in his pocket next season

 

[Para1140]

God what a thought Lati against Vic

Not sure where you parked. We parked in the Waitrose. Spoke to a few Blades' walking back afterwards and they were complimentary but all said they were the better side, but we were more clinical and maybe "wanted" it more.

They also slagged off Wilder. Called him a dinosaur.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Don’t remember the year but Leon Clarke scored twice and we won there if memory serves me right.

 

[jordan210]

Rushworth has single handily destroyed blades fans. The head loss from them is immense

Just checked 11v11 & you're right, 2012/13 season

 

[Matt smith]

What a cross from Mason Clark that was last night

3 wins in a row is superb

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Just checked 11v11 & you're right, 2012/13 season

I was there I think, but been there so many times that all games sort of blend into one now

 

[alexccfc99]

Hope that Roy from the Sheff U forum is skimming this thread prepping his view from Coventry post whilst crying into his greasy chip butty - Cheers boys, 2-1 to the feeder club! But at least you’ve got O’Hare

I have just checked their forum and seen he has shat it from doing one...

What a shame and what a sore loser

 

[Para1140]

Oh dear poor old Roy is to tired to do a post match review on the blaades forum after giving it the bigun before the game.
To tired or just salty tears and picking his lip up off the floor ?

 

[alexccfc99]

I bet Boro feel absolutely rank rotten, even after we beat them they would have expected us not to take maximum points from two away games and they would at least beat one of Oxford or Leics

That result for us last night will really hurt them ahead of a tough assignment at Blues on Monday Eve

Reading some of their guff on twitter , they do think they are something for a club thats won fuck all for 100 years , tits

Being a league above them would be so sweet. Also imagine if we did pick up someone like Brooks, I think they'd lose their heads at being our 'feeder' club
