Christ we've scored. Sheff Utd really in trouble if we hold out 

They look awful….hell of a wage bill too. 
Has there ever been a Sheffield derby in the third tier?

Yuki!

Great work from Gudjohnsen and De Neve (although I think fluffed his cross)

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Cracking scuff by De Neve that! 

Pleased for Yuki

[neophox]

Knew I felt something, well in lads!!

[neophox]

Sheffield U been really shite first half...

[Paul Mellelieu]

I think the players are giving their all at the moment and I do like the scruffy De Neve.

Leicester two down at Hull. Cifuentes will be starting to sweat, you'd think. With the talent in that squad they should not be struggling as much as they are. 

Going to be some big FFP hits soon. Leicester have been in financial trouble a lot recently and they look miles away from promotion contenders. 

[Tugay-is-God]

Got ball across by Gudjonsson as well. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Quality assist from De Neve. ROFL.

A complete and utter fluke like that when we previously looked as if we wouldnt score if we played until Saturday might just be the thing to spark our season into life.

He's all the same aptitude and characteristics of Hedges.  Just faster

I don’t think he’s much of a footballer, but I must admit, it’s nice to see someone wide and attacking on our left side. I’m absolutely sick of Hedges taking one touch then turning back/inside to LB/CB/CM

[Blow-in]

If Ohashi had not saved DeNeve's blushed the poor fella would be getting pelters right now.

And also, I'm sure everyone expected Hull to struggle and they're 5th as it stands

Hedges does not know how to move forward with a ball at his feet

Quite a few

Good first half. Well on top but lacking quality.

De Neve has been excellent at wing back.

Table at half time.

Rovers 1 Sheff United 0

 

Preston losing

Been really shite all season tbf. Amazing to see a side that finished 3rd with 90+ points last season collapse so spectacularly over the period of a few months.

There's some great individual talent in their squad, but they don't play like a team. Their players should be bossing this division but at best they're usually competitive. All three relegated clubs have had the same problem, although Leicester the least poor of the bunch. You can see why the three of them made up one of the worst collective bottom three teams in PL history last season.

Yep a few 

[had.e.nuff]

how slow are their defenders making  us look rapid at times

[LDRover]

Mr. Dead has had a decent game so far.
