Views from Rasenimp following the 3-2 win on penalties at Bramall Lane versus Sheffield United in the Second Round of the League Cup: “Quality that! Attritional of course but to restrict a Premier League side (even one that had lots of youngsters on at the end) to barely a chance is tremendous. Bar the last ten the pressure never really seemed to come, even if they had a fair amount of the ball.
My random special mention would be to Eyoma who had I thought a very solid game. Mitchell too on his first start, but I thought Eyoma especially who didn’t seem to put a foot wrong, was fairly calm on the ball and cleared it when it needed clearing. Was good to see!”

More views from the Match Thread:
kickingimp: “Regardless of the result / draw, it was a good display by Mitchell, TJ performed well against good opposition. Sean Roughan did not look out of place. Going by what was said on the commentary the only person who did not perform as expected was Erhahan.”
Luke Imp: “Another clean sheet as well – no Jackson initially, no O’Connor, Burroughs switched to RWB, TJ back in after not even being in the squad recently, Brown at LWB without being involved recently, Mitchell’s full debut.
Never a bad sign where players can move around/come back in pretty seamlessly fit into a system.”
Snats: “What a night. Best away day since MK Dons in the last promotion season. So proud of the effort and resilience of the players, really feels like we’ve got a group to get behind once more.”
