Best Performance for a Long While
Home crowd at the "Boo Camp" welcomed their new manager, Gary Speed, and the players responded very well and played Preston off the park. Britton was at the heart of everything and the two new fullbacks (Stephen Jordan and Jean Calve) made a big difference, although there were some gaping holes at times at the back.
Lots of endeavour and invention made for a good first half without creating a clear-cut chance. Playing the ball on the floor through Britton and everyone working around him makes for a more promising future than I thought a week ago. A second half screamer from Jean Calve left the frog with a poorly leg and he had to be subbed. While he was on the ground getting treatment, they kept showing the goal on the big screen, much to the delight og the crowd. Johnny Ertl is worth a mention: involved lots and looks solid in the middle of park, giving the back four (without an injured Morgan - not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion) lots of protection.
More of this and The Blades will start to believe again and hopefully come back to The Lane.
Blades 1 - 0 Preston
