Look back on track.
Cooper back and Phillips back in dm the key.
Looks a quality spine in the team now with the keeper, Pontus/Cooper, Phillips, Pablo and Bamford
The rest will help to keep momentum. Can't wait....
They to be fair to them played 75 minutes with 10 men and scored another. They are well up there on merit and it is going to be very tough.
Hopefully our fitness will prevail.
Even if we win that isn’t promotion sorted, still a long way to go after Saturday.
I'm nervous but the West Brom win makes me confident. Sheff won't be set up as open as they were but it showed us the players have the bottle for these big games. 3 wins on the bounce, 3 good games. Let's do it
Cliched already I know, but the first goal is key!
Brentford battered them tonight, but couldn't get the all important stat. Goals.
This shows that the Blunts can absorb pressure and we need to be clinical in front of goal.
Hopefully, Bamford got all his scuffs and miss hits out of the way tonight.

The stats show the blunts are a strong side and battle until the end despite being down to 10 men, and we will have to be at our best on Saturday to get anywhere near a win.
We must get that West Brom mindset back. not what we showed second half tonight.
Aware of a tough game on Sat, we clearly eased off second half as we were 3:0 up and still in control and yet could still have scored 3 more. Superb performance and game management.
Disappointed with Bamfords finishing, was snatching at everything.
Absolutely ran the show tonight. Masterful performance with terrific variety in the short and long passing games. Each goal was constructed from open play, with Klich' slide rule pass into the net my favourite. The dummy from Bamford was perfection.
This is a settled side approaching peak. Sheffield United have drawn 4 of their last 5 away games, but they should have beaten Villa, and were great value for the win at West Brom. They also drew at Norwich. A draw looks likely, but if we can perform like we did in our last home game, they will have a real battle on their hands. Three wins in a row for Leeds at a crucial time in the season. How Bielsa has turned things around after the QPR game. The self-belief in this team is remarkable. The only question mark for me is the temperament of our players. There were 3 unnecessary yellow cards tonight and we were lucky not to see one red. No question about it, our players are giving it everything they've got. Over to you, Norwich.
Huge game Saturday... glad I’ll be there. Next few days are gona be nerve wracking but hopefully Ull do us a favour tomorrow and get them lot sweating too
Bamfords dummy for klich was good but the one for Hernandez in the second half was even better. Had us all fooled.
The blunts are a very good side and their position is no fluke... play decent football and are very hard to break down. Win would be massive.
The blunts are solid at the back and aggressive going forward. However we Play a better brand of football and are the better outfit. They will be in our faces and will not forget that this is also a Yorkshire Derby.
It's gonna be a real humdinger of an atmosphere!
Surprised to see anyone having a pop at Bamford.
He was superb first half last night. His movevent, intelligence and positioning is superb. He fits perfectly into our set up. He will miss chances but the key part is he is getting in the position.
Our defence has had 3 superb displays in a row too, confidence oozing all over the pitch. Bamford needs to finish better on Saturday. We won't get as many chances.
Pablo was man of Match
But that was all because of Bramford link up play
Do not under estimate that
Bamford's all round play was great but his finishing was poor last night. You could see he was disappointed at the final whistle. Miskicked two good chances and airkicked the other one.
You would say based on this season that Roofe is a much better finisher than Bamford - he's clinical. But Bamford has got much better chances than Roofe has since he's come into the team, his movement gets him into better areas. Good player.
Hoping having only 10 men for 75 minutes has an affect fatigue wise ,probably wont as the Blunts look strong but we are getting back to our best at the right time.
Quietly confident.

There's a difference between playing Brentford at home and us away, Wilko.
Bamford is very good all around, better than I thought actually and perfect for that role.
Looked nacked last night after the 50th min
I want a draw, always want us to win BUT a draw would not be a bad result. Going to be tough. 2 teams at the top of their game both getting great results at the business end of the season. Blades have not conceded in their last 6 games.
pablo, man
10 goals 11 assists
best player in the league by a distance
Should read I do not want a draw..........
