Liz does the pics - I just pinch them from the Official Preview link page, as just having the link here is boring.

Just hope the performance on the pitch is as impressive as this 1857 burger looks!!!..

I think we owe someone a beating... in the league at least! Hopefully that day is today!!

Bunting, Ashton and Dolman back on the bench alongside new signing Wilson. No substitute keeper on the bench. Looks like Lee and Winters are the centre-back pairing with McNulty and Harris in centre midfield.

Diamonds down to 10, Rory Winters sent off and they were awarded a penalty (thought there was a new rule which meant that couldn't happen) which they then scored. Shariff equalised shortly after.

A good comeback win with the obvious circumstances all be it against a truly dreadful team. The goal we let in was a shambles with Lorraine heading it the wrong way to defenders being the wrong side. Until dolman and bunting came on I thought we were very shaky defensively. Special mention to sharif who I thought was a class apart with him and Wilson linking up well hopefully they will start Tuesday and with getting a few players back we might be able to stop playing strikers in centre midfield who are simply not good enough for this league.

Brilliant effort from the lads.

Sheffield were poor though no doubt about that, can certainly see why they are second from bottom.

Sharif easily Man of the match for me.

Never easy to come from behind and win with 10 men, especially so early on. Terrific spirit from the lads
