Really surprised by how complementary they were of us, a large amount think we will get 2nd spot. Lots saying we’re the best team they have seen this season etc. Be typical of us now to lose on Saturday to QPR lol
We forced them into it and we were outstanding.Did sheff utd have an off night because they just did or did we force them into it. Were they poor or were we outstanding.
When Carrick took over, QPR were top of the league on 30 points. Not surprising they are low in confidence!!QPR seem like a team very low in confidence ... win expected and hopefully delivered with Akpom
Yes we murdered them second half at Loftus road, could easily have won 4-3, should have really.No push overs in the Championship and we need to get revenge for our 3-2 defeat @ QPR in August.
QPR @ half time was the release of the Akpom MarkII - big difference when he came on.
Perhaps, in their manager's pre-match media assessment of Boro, filled his team with too great a confidence that simply wasn't visible on the pitch. Let's not take anything away from Boro, that win last night was tremendous against a top two side who played to the best of their ability and were second best all over the park. I don't go along with the Blades having "an off night".Did sheff utd have an off night because they just did or did we force them into it. Were they poor or were we outstanding.
They were outstanding in the first 10 mins, we weathered that and then blew them away i felt. They looked dangerous when they attacked as they've got some talented footballers but when we went ahead i never felt we wouldn't go on and win the game. The fact we didn't just sit back and we kept playing our game, attacking and getting the third goal is massive for how confident we are and how the players are all together under Carricks vision. It's a truly excellent run of form and time to watch the team, loving every second and Saturday cant come quick enough.Did sheff utd have an off night because they just did or did we force them into it.

They weren't that bad, but clearly pegged back a fair bit by us, from what they normally do at home anyway. They still had a lot of big chances, which they fluffed (Steffen and defence did well) and were missing Sharp.Did sheff utd have an off night because they just did or did we force them into it.

He must have been drunk because they only had 1 defender on a yellow and that was after 65 mins. The other two yellwos were strikers on 75 and 86 minsView attachment 53071
"Boro went down every time and half our team were booked ... it makes it easier for them to play trough us if you've got 3 defenders who know they can't touch you or they're off"
'Drunk Blade seems really apt, he must have been blind drunk last night.
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.it would be Boro and i'd be waiting for Akpom to revert back to his previous form
