Just had a read of the blades forum

They didn’t have an off night in the first 10 minutes but once we got a foothold in the game we were superb. There’s still a mountain to climb if we want to catch them though, all we can do is keep winning.

We had them absolutely baffled once we started playing Carrickball after about 15 minutes. All they could do to try and counter it was play balls over the top to try and stop us keeping it on the deck.

They were a good team with some quick attacking play but last night was 100% Boro playing them off the park
 
I'd like to rewatch some of his first season performances, I always felt people were being a bit harsh and judging him purely on not enough goals. He did get bullied a bit at CF, but then Warnock was asking for the ball to be launched long to him. When he got the ball to feet, I seem to remember he showed some flashes of good technical ability and he worked hard regardless. He was a victim of Warnock-ball and Wilder-arrogance.
Agree always thought he was a clever striker who created space for others, but Britt and co were never on his wavelength. Never had him down as a prolific goal scorer though!
