Sheffield United fielded trialists Jean-Joel Perrier Doumbe (Defender) and Jan-Michael Williams (Keeper) and looked impressive as they flew through the entire 90 minutes. New signing Gary Naysmith also competed the full game.

It was the home side that started the game off the brighter had had chances to score but both Cameroon and Jamaican internationals Dumbe and Luton Shelton both came close.

Rickard produced the home teams best effort, firing over the bar. Shelton's electronic pace allowed United to take the lead. Ross beating the keeper from 25 yards.

Stephen Quinn picked up an injury and was forced to be substituted by Jordan Robertson who netted the Blades second.

Trinidad international keeper Williams kept the dream alive by keeping out a Town insurgency whilst at the other end Shelton came close to adding to the score.
Blades: Williams, Doumbe, Bromby, Kilgallon, Naysmith, Ross (Kerry 62), Tonge (Naughton 80), S. Quinn (Robertson 45), Leigertwood, Horsfield, Shelton.
Unused: Annerson, Donnelly, Horwood.

"Shelton's electronic pace..." - never quite seen such a description, but in today's world, very appropriate. Can I repeat this for y'all? He is the fastest/quickest/most efficient player "over ground" in the world! Yes, Karl, faster than Fabregas!

I think the word should be 'electric'

Where did you get the "fastest/quickest... in the world" quote from ?

[Mosiah]

You going to tell the writer which word to use? Is there something wrong in saying electronic instead of electric? But yuh nuh easy!

That quote is mine, with a little help from Karl.

I am not telling the writer which word to use.

Where did you get that idea ?

[Karl]

Yes, Karl, faster than Fabregas!

mmmm?
Kindly remember, Fabregas is a snail...I beg you?!

[Mosiah]

I do remember you saying that someone was not even as fast as Fabregas. I hope you were not talking about Shelton! I believe you said that even Fabregas was not that slow, but relative to the other EPL players, he was. Something to that effect.
