@ryanhobson7: Best English manager in club football signs new 4.5 year deal. #twitterblades 5th in the league and pushing for a European spot. What a start to 2020. Sheffield is red.
@Jamesfletcher82: Not at our best today but practically took the only chance we created, excellent work by fleck to create it. About time #VAR went our way made it even sweater that it was him as well
@mdb1980sufc: Better in the second half but still not to the standards that we have been used to. Had a couple of chances to make the game safe but they also had chances. Overall deserved the win but made hard work of it.

@vstox: As the VAR check flashed on the screen I thought back to the game against Wigan when the Tevez goal was announced. I thought, if there are football gods you owe us this one.. Wonderful moment for a vintage Blade
@LeaBoulby: Someone talk to me about @oli_mcburnie performance today btw. Take the goal away the man was class link up play and winning headers was exceptional. Ran back 50 yard to make a big tackle on edge of our box
