It’s nerves pal. When the Lane gets going it’s a cauldron. When a team comes at us, even at 2-0 up, our fans are nervy. We’ve been bitten in the arse so many times when we’ve gone 1 or 2 nil up it’s now engrained within us to only get going at 3-0
.We’ve got one of the best atmospheres in the country on our day, plenty have said it.

We also thrive as underdogs, we’re not used to being favourites.

Apart from a few groups of teenagers from both sides goading each other I seen absolutely no problems outside of the ground, so suspect there's an element of bullshit in the OP. We parked just off London Road, got some food and went to The Golden Lion. Every Blades fan we spoke to was spot on and were expecting a tough game. I have to be honest I was expecting the home support to be a lot more noisy than they were, a lot more noisy. The red was justified and my first thought was it's killed the game, especially after United scored. Again, I thought the early second half goal meant we were going to get thumped as that's how it often pans out with us. However, our grit meant that it was still a great game and was very encouraging. You could feel the nerves from the home fans through the silence. As for us itgoing to be an up and down season. We'll be absolutely fine, but would love a midfielder like Berge who turned out for them last night. I have a lot of time both Sheffield clubs. They tend to have been put to one side because Leeds were once good back in the 70s. The history of both clubs contributes massively to the history of the game in England. United will be up and around the top of the table and I'd be expecting promotion if I supported them with the squad we have. Hopefully we've sent a message out to the rest of the division with our first few games that we aren't an easy 3 points.
Fair. Like I said, we’re pessimistic bunch, always used to being the underdog and screwing up leads, going ahead doesn’t suit our culture. The Lane is far more raucous when we’re behind chasing games or playing higher opposition. Our atmospheres in the Prem were second to none.
Just a shame this game wasn’t on a Saturday, that might’ve helped.

Define higher opposition? You may need a shovel here, marra. Whilst the majority of us have been very much humbled by our recent history, I'm sure a lot of people will see this as two of the divisions biggest clubs playing each other and one of the few occasions you'll see your away end full this season.

I've gathered Hetton isn't a lass and doesn't work for the club
Fuck knows what it is. And Fuck ain't forthcoming with details.
Without calling names ,what a strange way to view football,a game of a it and the team you "support "
if 3 points is the key to your general well being i suggest packing in
Your logic follows non . A draw when we should have won 5 nil isn't the same as a draw against a stronger better playing side . You can look at 3 games without a win and think we're doomed and you can also look and say how unlucky were we ,we should be okay this year
I certainly didnt see the game you saw last night
Having a dead dad doesnt give you licence to antagonise away fans im afraid . As i say no harm in him really seemed a happy boy apart from all the v's and wanker signs .

As I said I don't know if he even as a kid I was mainly saying if it was on the kop how did you see it is what I was mainly getting out,I don't go much now so not sure if he's a regular person or not
I dont know what your kop is . Like i said he was in the side stand to our right . He was nothing really mate , just a fat lad expecting pie comments and wearing them ok by the looks .
Aye tellytubbys little black mate was at it too. I saw him walk through us as we came out and thought " i hope none of our daft lads have clocked you or you might have to explain what you were on about "Also a lad in a pink stone island jacket telling some of our lot to get outside
All a bit frisk though
All pretty benign really

We’d have shit ourselves if we were defending late on against a team with 10 men after going 2 up
They controlled the game well at the end, could tell they’re a well established championship team

Sharp's the Championship version of Jamie Vardy, we're all just waiting for that year he finally is too old after having said it for the last five year
Stewart's finishing is arguably one of the weaker areas of his game (whisper it quietly because someone saying that started a huge argument in one of the pre season match threads) but he still did enough to get 26 in the league and play offs. Just such an intelligent footballer, he seems to do everything fairly well. Looks like a target man but realistically he's better at running the channels, linking play up and finishing with his feet than he is at battering a centre half in the air. We struck gold getting him in when we did given how seemingly every football manager in League One and the Championship openly speak about how they wanted to sign him. Probably says a lot about Stewart that the club and ~90% of our fans were happy to let Wyke go on a free when he got 31 goals the year before he left. Only small gripe with him is how easy he hits the deck.
