Sheffield United v Middlesbrough Tonight

[Nori1958]

Because Boro will be 15 points behind us, and us with a game in hand? I really wouldn’t worry.

Not worried, just want promotion clinching as soon as we can

[Paddy1882]

Really don’t get the sky love in with Sheff United, Boro look streets ahead. The commentator also said there’s no better team at grinding out results than Sheff United…. I beg to differ.

[Longsidebovril]

15 points is the same gap as Cardiff making the play offs.
Not happening.

[agreenwood]

Preston losing at home to Luton and down to 10 men. They are dropping like a stone.

No sooner do I post that, than they equalise

[ksrclaret]

From the long throws, yes. Otherwise I’ve seen zero evidence.

Which bit?

[taio]

1-3

[RVclaret]

Very impressive from Boro. Sheff have a tricky run of games coming up. They’ll be a bit worried after this tonight.

[RVclaret]

Btw this just shows how good we are, as we made Boro looked quite poor at the Turf, limited them to basically nothing (albeit they didn’t have Archer)

[Buxtonclaret]

3-1.
Putting Blades to the sword. - yes, i know. Sorry.

[Goalposts]

That foul not being blown for is just riduculous, where was the advantage

[elwaclaret]

Sheffield United look completely bereft of confidence. Think they’ll become more involved in a fight for second rather than chasing us from now.

[ElectroClaret]

Baggies beating Rovers

[claretinkorea]

3-1 Boro now. Blades wobbling...

[Bosscat]

Preston losing at home to Luton and down to 10 men. They are dropping like a stone.

PNE equaliser

[IanMcL]

Should be a cracker when we play Boro.

[cricketfield73]

BOING! BOING!

[Goody1975]

Eighth booking for McBurnie.

Got to get to 37 games without reaching ten.

[MrTopTier]

West Brom winning

[Bigvince]

Baggies beating Rovers

Yes they need to MIND THE GAP !

[Bosscat]

Oooops Boing Boing come on West Brom you beauties

[AGENT_CLARET]

Turning out to be a fantastic point last night

[Tricky Trevor]

Local lad, to me, Jayson Molumby gives Baggies the lead.

[agreenwood]

Very impressive from Boro. Sheff have a tricky run of games coming up. They’ll be a bit worried after this tonight.

Tricky is an understatement. The next 8 are:

Millwall (a)
Watford (h)
Blackburn (a)
Reading (a)
Luton (h)
Sunderland (a)
West Brom (h)
Norwich (a)

Blimey

[claretinkorea]

And now Heckingbottom sent off... All makes the point against Watford look rather good, doesn't it...

[bf2k]

That foul not being blown for is just riduculous, where was the advantage

It was good refereeing. The Sheffield United player to 6/7 strides after the foul, made the pass and they went and lost it. Perfect refereeing to the rules.

[agreenwood]

Blimey

Yep, they'll be into April with only 7 games left by the time they've played those.

On the flip side, this time next week 9 of our remaining 13 games will be against sides in the bottom half.

[Goalposts]

Boros next 8 are far better
Sat 18 | Queens Park Rangers H
Sat 25 | West Bromwich Albion A

March
Sat 4 | Reading H
Sat 11 | Swansea City A
Tue 14 | Stoke City H
Sat 18 | Preston North End H

April
Sat 1 | Huddersfiled Town A
Fri 7 | Burnley H


May well be on for them

Only Blackburn an easy game in that lot.

[Goody1975]

Only Blackburn an easy game in that lot.

On that pitch?

tool - and he sarcastically applauded too

Their main cb, Ahmedhozic, is one booking off a 2 game ban as well.

[ksrclaret]

Thank God Boro haven’t had Carrick all season or things might not be so comfortable

They are so much better than Sheff Utd on this evidence

[Goalposts]

It was good refereeing. The Sheffield United player to 6/7 strides after the foul, made the pass and they went and lost it. Perfect refereeing to the rules.

Beg to differ ran into a cul de sac, with no clear pass out or advantage, at that point the advantage was to Boro who outnumbered them in middle and up front. Ref didn’t read game correctly. Just because you dont fall down in next 2-3 strides and challenges still coming in. No obvious advantage

He was still in control of the ball and unchallenged. He made a pass that found his man. Basically he’d recovered from the foul to carry on. The ref was right to judge the advantage was taken.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Blackburn equalise

[Buxtonclaret]

On that pitch?

Another WBA corner

[Quicknick]

Blackburn the draw specialists.

Corner WBA

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Final score 1-1

[Lancasterclaret]

Great result for Boro

Loads of draws

Not a bad night for us at all to be honest

[IanMcL]

No sooner do I post that, than they equalise

Full credit to you.

[Rileybobs]

Boro now closer to Sheff Utd than Sheff Utd are to us.

[Stayingup]

Blackpool. Rarely seem to finish a game with eleven men.

[4:20]

Halfway through stoppage time last night I wouldn't have imagined we'd be a point better off on the Sheffield gap come the end of tonight.
