Match 20 of 25/26 (didn't go to Millwall)- Preston North End (H)
An undeserved loss.
Easy to complain about set piece defending, referee bottling it & missed penalty.
Instead I'll focus on an enjoyable game to watch & plenty of positives - good going fwd, scoring 2 & lots of good performances. #swfc

Match 19 of 25/26 - Sheffield United (H)
The result I expected, but I'd hoped the team would give it a better go.
Not the best day; windscreen wiper came off, so drive home wasn't ideal, and suffered with a migraine all day so could barely see out of one eye, which may have been a blessing #swfc

Match 18 of 25/26 - Southampton (A)
Mistakes cost us again, but couldn't ask for more effort. Lots of tired looking players after another double fixture week.
A good couple of days away despite the result. Fans a credit once again - amazing numbers & non-stop support despite the predicament #swfc 💙

Match 17 of 25/26 - Norwich City (H)
Probably a fair point. Had chances to win it with more composure and the rub of the green from the officials, but Norwich had great chances too.
Great home atmosphere and weirdly bright on the Kop. Never realised how dark the Kop had been until tonight! #swfc

A well deserved point, and hoping the rainbow is a sign of better days ahead. 💙🌈🦉
Another win on the coach bingo too, so £47 better off. 🎉 #swfc

Match 15 of 25/26 - Oxford United (H)
An all too familiar performance & result where we started badly, but battled back brilliantly & couldn't get a result; but the score was immaterial today.
An historic day & hopefully the start of getting our club back.
A day full of emotion. Fans superb. 💙 #swfc

Match 14 of 25/26 - Middlesbrough (H)
Another match boycotted and a loss which could've easily been a draw.
Great to see so many fans stand together and boycott for the greater good.
I hope the man whose name covers the seats gets the message and leaves. Could see my seat on the Kop too. #swfc ⚫🟡

Match 13 of 25/26 - Charlton Athletic (A)
Our luck in winning £50 on the coach bingo, & Charlton House cafe undercharging for lunch, then telling us to keep the money and enjoy the day in London when we told them, didn't last into the game.
Proud of team & fans & lovely to meet Bob Bolder #swfc ⚫🟡

Match 12 of 25/26 - Coventry City (H)
I feared the worst after the effort of a threadbare squad on Tuesday, and was unfortunately proved right.
Sorry for the team who are doing the best they can but don't have the squad depth or quality.
Perhaps lino was blinded for the offside by the Cov shirts 😡

Match 11 of 25/26 - Birmingham City (A)
An injury time draw which felt like a loss. Great effort and some lovely play which deserved a win. With a looming points deduction it's unlikely to matter in the end anyway. ⚫🟡🦉
Nice to see a reminder of happier days "Tricky Trev's Barmy Army" 💙

Match 10 of 25/26 - QPR(H)
Another Black and Gold day. The protest is growing with so much more colour on show this week, and the kiosks closing early a sign that boycotting is working. ⚫🟡
A much better home performance especially from the young lads; a point the minimum they deserved. #swfc

Another match boycotted.
I'm sorry that the young players who have done so well in the cup won't get more playing minutes, but glad to be out of the cup.
At least it's less funding for Chansiri and less opportunity for fans to fall out about attending or not #swfc

Felt pretty much like a repeat of Stoke City and Swansea City. A better second half, but mistakes easily punished and not enough quality to respond to going behind.

Match 5 of 25/26 - Leeds United (H), but I wasn't there as I'd boycotted it.
The first home game I could've attended and didn't, in over 30 years.
So proud of that young team and the older players who have supported them on and off the field.
So much character in this team. 🦉💙 #swfc

Couldn't fault the players; lots of effort but not enough quality, and short of luck and match fitness.

Another year, another Round Sheffield Run - 15m of fun on the hills & trails of Sheffield with friends, with the now obligatory Calippo stop at 10m & Meersbrook Park photo at 13m
Used today as a training run rather than a race & felt strong on the hills despite the heat. #running #RSR
