Big vic Bob on tonight. Do not underestimate his contribution. He more or less closed the game. Stoke was about to break, he was the one charging back, won the ball and then set the move off resulting in Dike grabbing it. So happy for Dike to get that too. That maybe the most important result weve had this season. Outstanding tonight in my book. Every single one of them. We look fuxking hard to beat. Let's be honest
I thought they were a lot more dangerous from the right in the first half & they kept the pressure on with the corners , however after they made their changes we were far more comfortable , I also thought leaving Obi Mickell on helped us, he was awful
Nudger is a Blade, anyway - his comments about Barnsley are as well-founded as mine would be about Sheff Utd.
Not at all. At any point. I know it was scrappy but I thought our second half performance was magnificent. Stoke simply didn't know what to do. They're not a bunch of mugs, they know how to win a game. They might get beaten by younger faster players these days, but we beat them by controlling the game, by game management. I've never seen us do that. I've seen us be the better team and lose dozens of times (and the worse team and lose pretty often too) but I've never seen us old manning it throughout the whole game and win. Not in in a cheating sense, just knowing how to win at football. And we're doing that with a bunch of kids. It's weird.
