    Well done to them both.
    Wasn't there at ours today.... was it as good?
    Was the atmos as good?
    Was there loads and loads of noise from the fans?

    If we were playing for second spot in our last home game I reckon the atmosphere would have been something similar.

    Me too - Freeman looks excellent for Stevenage. Bought from Arsenal for **** all in Jan. Disappointing that we weren't in for him. Agyemang also did well and would do well for us.

    Define long time

    Best game I saw this season was us at Peterborough and that was a much better game than this was
    great atmosphere etc. I can think of a few others from the first half of the season which were pretty good too

    It was a good game though and I think both sides would do OK in the Championship next season even had the biting my nails a bit for the last 10 mins as I really dont want the Blunts to come up.

    As said abouve - were we playing for second place I think we might have found a better atmosphere at Oakwell. By the way the sty wasnt sold out - which is a bit surprising for that game

    You must not have seen a football game in a long time, then.

    It was end to end attacking, granted. But nearly every player on the pitch had an awful first touch, and the defending was even worse than ours. Stevenage scored 2 very lucky goals and shot from anywhere, even when much better options were on. And Sheffield United never looked like scoring until Creswell came on, and even then the keeper only made 1 save of note apart from the 2 goals. It was typical League 1 football - the final ball was awful and there was no cutting edge.

    The only player I thought was any good was Freeman, and he was made to look a lot better by the abysmal defending. Them giving MOTM to Creswell at the end was an insult to him.
