Just re-watched the game, think I saw more defensive contact wins in one game that the entirety of last season. Was strange seeing Sheffield players on their back getting up slowly.

Strange how being clattered 'round the head will do that to you!!

Half expected that lad who went off in the first half to be given a couple of paracetamol and sent back out!

I see there was only 1.1k at the Sheffield v Fax game. It's very hard to see how clubs can survive on such low crowds. Elsewhere Fev managed just 1.8k and Bradford who are expected to romp the season got 2.6k, but how many were unattended freebies (judging by the sparse crowd when watching the highlights).

I dont think there was anywhere near 1100 at Sheffield on Sunday, I'd have guessed at around 800, and that would have been generous
