Bradford and millwall..got confidence in wilder but we are at that stage of the season now where anything can happen and one slip up could derail us . And don't get me started on oldhams pitch, It's an absolute nightmare for our style of play
 



Think we will come through both of them with 4 points minimum mate tbh, and we have coped with poor pitches before. I am not being arrogant but just listening to Wilder this week assures me that none of our players will let up. Add to that we are 10 points clear of 3rd and I remain confident.

2012 still hurts and still looms large but it is worth remembering that we are not 2nd being chased down this time. We are clear leaders and the scrap is for 2nd well behind us. Bolton have equally bad fixtures coming; Southend and Scunny away, both of whom are still in the playoff mix, followed immediately by Oldham and Bury, two teams both in a scrap and local derbies at that.

Will we do it? Hard to say for sure but I believe we will.

Even Wilder joked on Talk Sportb, if any team can fuck it up its sheffield United.

All at the Lane are fully focussed , and take one game at a time . It's only us silly fucker fans who get above our station and press the panic button . After play off finals , 6 seasons in league 1 , yep fucking panic stations .

Every game is now a cup final . Shit pitches won't help us .
 
Surely any pitch offers the same challenge to both teams. Anyone would think our players have never ever played in the rain the way some are hyper ventalating over a bit of mud

I agree that the pitch will be the same for both sides, but they are used to it and no doubt are playing a style that accommodates it. Oldham have lost only once at home since the middle of December. Poor pitches and the weather can be a great leveller. I think it was the Hartlepool home game in 2012 when BDTBL was sopping wet and we tried our passing game and Hartlepool, who hadn't won for 22 matches, played hoofball and produced this reaction from Spelling on Sky.?



Wilder may have been joking on the radio when he said 'If there could be a car crash at any club, it's this one ! .' but every joke has an element of truth in it and I am sure that CW, like most sensible Blades fans, won't be taking any game for granted, this one especially as they have a habit of causing us problems.

Take a deep breath.......exhale and.......relax.
 
Agree that on paper Millwall and Bradford are the best teams left to play

However Millwalll have a fixture pile up and should run out of steam.
To be honest I expect us to beat them.

Bradford are a good footballing side and I expect them to be very similar to Charlton.
They'll give us a proper game, take the game to us and put our defence under pressure.
I expect this one to end up a draw.

That isn't a question that arises from what I said. The danger of over-confidence and not getting it right against the likes of Oldham on their mud-heap of a pitch was. We also have a recent history which involves end of season collapses of form for various reasons (eg the Evans saga, 2012-13 (7 points out of the last 24)) sufficient to warn against blase assumptions. Confidence is a good thing. Overconfidence is not.

I think we will go up but I'm not taking anything for granted. Thank goodness Wilder isn't as blase and cocksure as you are coming across.

leicester had a recent history of being shit
, but won the prem
means fuck all whats happened in the past
yes we HAVE BEEN shit havent we
but arent now

when will some blades realise ,,, things change
put simply if we win 3 of our last 8 and fleetwood lose 2 of theiirs we go up as only ua and bolton can get over 87 points

are you seriously saying we cant win 3 of the 8 weve got left

Why not read what people actually write instead of incorrectly paraphrasing? I have a view, you have a view. I'm prepared to acknowledge (but not necessarily agree with) yours.You don't appear to want to acknowledge anyone else's view. Like I said,

View attachment 24733

your view being we can lose 5 of next 8 or draw 7 of next 8

with the way we are performing and battling

and your being serious ,ok I respect that



my theres some seriously scarred blades about
 
Nope. Never said that. You did. I respect you as a politician. I'll leave it there and let you carry on regardless.
wed have to do something like that to blow it
3 wins should be enough for promotion . basically, taking it fleetwood will drop a few even 3 or 4 points
to say we wont make it is saying that we will produce sorts of stats

its not an opinion its the reality of the situation
win 5 , no matter what anyone else does we are up for certain
win 4 most likely still do it by a margin
win 3 still very probable unless fleetwood win all 8

So are you saying if we win our next 3 games we are up?
 
The two games that are the only little niggle of concern for me are the next two, the pitch, and rumours of injuries at Oldham and bogey team Millwall to follow.

If we win both those it will extend the lead back to Bolton to at worst nine points and I can't see them getting that back in seven games..

..however one or no points will have Bolton right up our arse or even above on goal difference as they will almost certainly beat Chesterfield and Shrewsbury, that will be a psychological blow to lose such a lead.

Next two games are huge for top spot.
 



So are you saying if we win our next 3 games we are up?

if fleetwood drop 4 points yes we need 1 point to be sure
88 points would discount all but fleetwood who can get 92 now but if they drop 4 its us on gd
3 wins and 1 draw is a point better than theyd get maximum if they lose one and draw 1
