Sheffield United almost blew a three-goal lead before winning a pulsating Steel City derby 3-2 against Sheffield Wednesday. More
- IT'S ALL OVER! United have the win, but great fightback by Wednesday.
90+2' Still end to end stuff here, even as United try to close this out. France is coming on now for Cotterill.
89' CHANCE! Evans has a go from distance and Grant has to parry that one away for a corner, from which Morgan has a header and Grant saves.
88' Treacy goes off for Quinn for United, as the free kick comes in from Esajas and Bunn had to be alert to save that at the near post!
87' Cotterill becomes the sixth man into the book, as we enter the last few minutes plus injury time. Free kick to Wednesday now in a good position..
77' O'Connor is going off to be replaced by Miller.
75' Straight down the other end and Esajas has the shot! Only just high and wide of the angle of the goal!
74' Great save!! Grant dives and makes the save from a header by either Henderson or Morgan. That was great goalkeeping from Grant.
67' Davies needs to be careful here, as he receives a lecture from the ref. Meanwhile, Wednesday bring on Clarke for varney.
53' CHANCE!!! Esajas hits the free kick and when Bunn spills it Varney slices it to Tudgay who blasts it over from close range!
50' CHANCE! Gray with the shot after linking up with Tudgay, but he fires it wide!
46' GOAL!! And it's Tudgay with it!! Great strike! The ball comes out to him after sub Esajas's header hit Varney on the back and was cleared. Tudgay fires it into the corner!
46' Esajas is on for Johnson for Wednesday as the second half gets underway at Bramall Lane.
- Looks like the ref gave a yellow to Henderson there right on the whistle, but the half has ended and it's 3-0 to United after an all action 45 minutes at Bramall Lane!
43' Straight away Bunn has to deal with a wicked deflection from Gray, which would have looped in under the bar!
35' O'Connor gets a yellow for a double foul and from the free kick, the ball comes into the Wednesday box and Henderson has a free header, which he directs straight at Grant!
33' Yes, Ward is off and Cotterill is on to replace him.
32' Jermaine Johnson challenges Ward fairly, but Ward looks to have pulled a hamstring and his game appears over.
25' Gray takes it and Tudgay makes Bunn tip it over the bar spectacularly! Best moment so far for Wednesday.
24' Montgomery goes into the book for a late challenge on Varney. Good position for a free kick for Wednesday..
14' GOAL!!! I think Henderson is claiming it! Again, not the best marking as a ball into the box isn't cleared and when the shot comes back in from Evans, Henderson sticks out a foot and it's in the back of the net! What a start for United! 2-0.
13' Shot comes in from Potter! The ball breaks to him about 25 yards out and he hits it first time and Bunn has to dive to his left to make the save!
7' GOAL!! From the resulting corner, a free header comes in from Morgan and the ball is deflected back to Jamie Ward, who makes no mistake from close range!! What a start here!
6' United get their first corner of the game, which is headed clear, then Montgomery does well to get the ball in and Davies heads goalward. Grant makes the save!
4' Andrew Davies goes into the book for a robust challenge and Wednesday have a free kick in a great position.
1' We're underway at Bramall Lane and it's Wednesday who kick off.

lucky gets united, i dont support any of the teams but wednesday was all over them even in the 1st half when 3-0 down best team lost
i feel really sorry 4 them who av season tickets 4 the blades my sons sunday league team could just boot it up evry time they get the ball - thats not how football should be played useless!!!

Wednesday and the referees tried all they could to get back into the game and gift themselves a 3rd, but still wasn't enough to beat the Blades!!
Refs gave wednesday everything, they scored with a free kick that never was a foul, blades could have and should have scored in the 2nd half through Morgan and then later, Evans.
The tide has turned SWFC fans, the new dawn is red and white!
By the way, loved the comments on various forums by wednesday fans... "Even though we lost it was like a win"
Really? How's it feel right now then? "Blades played long ball game, terrible to watch."
WEDNESDAY: IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW YOU PLAYED WHEN YOU BEAT US LAST SEASON, WE WERE THE BETTER SIDE THEN AND STILL LOST. WE DIDN'T GO AROUND DELUDING OURSELVES LIKE THE BLUE HALF ALWAYS DO...
I await your responses blue and whites. Up the Blades!

18th September: Kevin Blackwell Day!
UP. THE. BLADES!

Chris Morgan isn't it about time that you grew a fringe & had some work done on your forehead wrinkles. Ask your beautician next time you go to get your legs waxed.

Why does it take 3 goals for the Wednesday to wake up - same reason we go to sleep in other games?
It is clear we are talented enough just something lacking in the backbone department - if you can't show pride wearing the blue and white against United then when can you?
Sloppy mistakes are going to make this another frustrating season. Don't think they fear or respect Laws enough. Getting them playing for 45 minutes is 45 minutes short of enough.
