half time, Sheff U drawing, ok not bad
Sheff U go 1 up, damn, that's it, now pressure's on us.
Vid of Milwall equalising on twitter in 95 min, but sky sports not updated, was it a hoax, no its true, fantastic, now we have a real chance!
Then onto the game, at least we don't conceded early, start to put pressure on and meet Westwood in inspired form. We make it hard for ourselves by giving possession away and also delivering really really poor crosses into the box.
Casilla looked a little shaky at back but also pulled off crucial save.
Berardi looked a little rusty first half but saved us 2 points at end putting his body win the way.
Ayling back to his best, great last ditch defending and always offering offensive options.
Jansson solid, Philips with huge responsibility was a very disciplined performance bearing in mind he was on a yellow.
Roberts made things tick with almost everything coming through him.
Thought Alioski and Harrison were too wasteful with providing opportunities, but you can waste all you want if you score match winners!
Great pass from Hernandez, who as per usual was all over the pitch tackling back, linking play and trying to create opportunities.
Thought Bamford didn't do bad but just seemed a little off the place.....that was probably because Sheff Weds really did defend well today, it wasn't just Westwood, they made it really hard for us today and in fact after our goal I don't think we had another shot on target, glad this one is out the way.
Overall, what a solid performance, what a team performance, everyone gave everything and our superior fitness and patterns of play won the day.
Only disappointment today.....lack of Salim translating with his little intonations
Massive massive result today, well done all.
Thoughts from today

Our goal all came about from our relentless play. Wednesday defended well but it was all last ditch and you cannot keep holding out against that pressure. As soon as they cleared it, we were straight back at them. No messing around with goal kicks or freekicks or throws in. Take them quickly and back at it. That's what the goal was - Pablo takes the throw in immediately before they can regroup and gets the space to put a great ball in.
I thought it would be interesting to see how Sheff Utd handled the pressure having been the chasers all season. Well they've not handled it well and Wilder's comments after the Birmingham draw and confronting the referee today show that.

I don’t think sheff Wednesday defended well at all ( and you attack and defend as a team)
We should have won by four, created tonnes of chances. Not having they defended well

Here are my thoughts........
What a day!
Walking down to the ground trying to find any snippet of information on the Sheff utd game was itself draining. Half way down the hill and Millwall have a penalty - only to be told by the guy following us that they have just missed it! Im now around Billys statue and to my left a big cheer goes up and the rumour is Millwall have scored. My phone says 1-0. My sons phone says 1-0, my sons mates phone still says 1-0. 3 minutes later and people are still not sure whether its correct. Nobodies phones are connecting and our phones are all 1-0. Mine is saying 99th minute now and 1-0. Son is on the phone to mum at home shouting at her to find the score -she says its 1-0 and 83 minutes have gone - women!! Then the whirring stops and finally it flashes up 1-1.What a superb result.
Gave us a great chance and i thought we took it. I thought it was a damn good performance when you consider a team who have lost only 1 in 17 never really troubled us bar the Hooper shot into the side netting early on. We were very good i thought when you consider the amount of pressure the young lads must be. Remember we dont have players who have been there before and done it and we have some young players in there.
Phillips again was immense. Commanding display.
Berardi superb to come in and play like that.
Ayling on top of his game again.
Roberts i love.
Only negative was the keeper who makes too many mistakes.
The goal - just wow. Moments earlier my son had lambasted Harrison and asked for his substitution. I told him to get behind him, and that his next cross might make the different. What a great finish! Turned to my son after jumping up and he had tears of joy in his eyes. More than anything i want promotion for him. 17 years old and seen nothing but rubbish.
Home now. KFC in belly and catching up with results and social media.
10 more points.

Kebab
Having watched sheff Utd a lot lately, I think they have zero chance of getting 12 points
Not playing well at all

Kebab. I was listening in the car on the radio with a poor reception. I heard there was a penalty at bramhall lane, didn’t know who to. Then the commentator said The penalty hit the bar. Then the studio guys reported the match as level and what a great result for Leeds... so I figured it must have been a Millwall penalty gone in off the bar. Then a couple of minutes later they corrected themselves.
When they went back there in injury time I still wasn’t sure if it was an equaliser or 2-0.
