Gary Speed summed it up best by pointing out we didn't play half as well as on Tuesday, but managed to win.  It was a very average performance and the only time we really got the ball down and played led up to the break which got the free kick which made the goal.  Incidentally, Evans only did about two things all game. The stats on the BBC website tell the opposite story to the results from Saturday and Tuesday.  Blades had loads of possession and chances on Tuesday and lost 4-0.  Saturday they didn't have much possession, nor create many chances and got the three points.  Oh well.  Morgan started, but limped off to be replaced by a more sensible-playing Noseworthy.  He looked like he was trying not to mess about with it and just hit it out.  Portsmouth were whinging, cheating gits, though.  Trying to kick Little Britton off the park and plenty of diving around.  The ref was the centre of attention, and clearly loved it as too many refs seem to.

United hit both posts and had several chances on goal without ever really looking threatened in defence. Most times we got the ball resulted in a half chance or a corner. Scunny had one chance and scored. Looked a blatant hand ball, but ref was enjoying himself too much to give a free kick. Second half, Sheffield United played well again and had the ball in the net. This time referee hallucinated and decided to give the foul he'd dreamt. No idea what he'd seen. Then Scunny got a second. Blades heads didn't drop. We didn't panic. We played some nice stuff still. Then we errored and they got a third. Fourth goal was bizarre. Blades had a dubious offside given w
