I don’t think they’ve been that good, we’ve just been a bit too respectful and invited too much pressure. I think we’ll get more chances as they chase the game in the second half. 

Agree, their recent form isn’t great the pressure is building on them. Could play into our hands 

smash and grab from us !

[cheshire_red]

Utd not having the best of days. So far

[Super]

Great goal but very lucky to be ahead.

[petehinton]

Can someone tell me who Chris Wilder supports? Sky haven’t mentioned it at all so far and would be really nice to know

We need to be on our toes defensively when they coubnter attack and have free kicks corners. They are playing smart and very quick. 

Need to get somebody stood on the ball to stop their quick free kicks

[Rossi the Robin]

Just needs to stick up top better and I’m sure we can take this 

[RedLionLad]

Get in !

We did that once, had 3 players rush to stand an inch away from a free kick.

[awbb]

Sharp’s bemused reaction to Frankie’s save is probably my moment of the season.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Shout out to the ref for playing advantage in the build up.

Merry GIFmas.

Not a massive fan of these Christmas gifs.

4/10 for the gif 

9/10 for the goal

 

[Up The City!]

Watching Sheff United thus evening has been like watching us this season. So far we have been off the pace,  rigid and abject. Can't believe we are winning this. Will be an interesting second half.

I wonder if December is going to have a picture of a player they sell to their bitterest rivals for peanuts in January.

[BS4 on Tour...]

Just me who thinks we should have had a clear pen when Baker’s shirt was being pulled off him when he got his head to one from a corner?

Spoilsport! The team says it helps them and its a bit of fun! Dont be so negative!

[Tom]

Also if anyone doubts how the gifs go down, feel free to have a browse on twitter. Things like this are doing our profile wonders.

If people hate or love them, they are still tweeting about the club.

We are looking lively but we need more of the sort of play that got us our goal .

Their defence are giants compared to our attackers and are heading everything away .

We may have chance more getting in behind them as they press .

The Blades attack look sharp ( no pun intended)  but we are defending well .

Don't forget they are fourth and at home .

Keep it up lads.

[Midlands Robin]

When we get the ball down and pass quickly we are doing well but that half saw too many high balls going nowhere.

United have pressed us all over the park and have muscled hard breaking up our possession. 

Great goal from Pato.

[Garland-sweden]

Think we will play better in the second half. Always believe, COYR!!!

Special word for Koreys first half performance

Immense and did the work of 2 or 3

And the flickmin the build up,to,our goal 

He’s been ******* immense.  Well done Korey!

[DT The Optimist]

Chances might come more as they press and we catch them. Disappointed in Eliasson so far. Might see a change unless we get more of a hold

I think (could be wrong) Bristol86 more meant people saying we should be 3-0 down.

Sheffield United have been very good, and I'm guessing people saying they should have 3 is because they've had 3 shots hit the goal frame.

But I wouldn't say we should be 3 down (losing, yes) as that takes credit from Frankie for an incredible reaction save.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Milan coming on, no idea who for yet.

Djuric with 30 to go I would expect. To be fair, the ones we are missing are showing on a night like tonight.

edit, or even now!
