MATCH DAY THREAD: The Mighty Blades v Middlesbrough

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Why is it we start shitting ourselves. No composure, midfield not looking for it anymore, panic panic panic.

We found space galore v 11, yet we can't find anything v 10...

Unbelievable.

and now Bristol go get another goal--we simply MUST score a third... this is crazy hanging on and hoping like this

 

[OrlandoexiledBlade]

waaaay harder that than it needed to be ....... got to be more decisive on Saturday against Millwall

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

We we're decisive, more than we've been for a long time. I bet we only had three shots on target, all first half.

Second half, well, what the fuck was that.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Can hardly think of a bigger contrast in halves – we were a bit brainless in our decision-making 2nd half, playing ourselves into trouble, getting caught in possession, and generally panicking. But a vital win – same again Saturday and things might get interesting!

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

It's all in our hands.

Win all games and we're in the playoffs.

 

[Iceybabey]

Shocking second half, I blame it on us letting them get the early goal. We keep it tight for first 10-15 I say it'd have been 3-4nil. Anyhow, would it be Sheffield United if we didn't do it the hard way?

 

[Houston_Blade]

If we score more than 1 we look dodgy at the back, score 1 or less and we are ok. Why?

 

[shrubbery]

It's all in our hands.

Win all games and we're in the playoffs.

Not true I’m afraid. Both Millwall and Middlesbrough could still finish above us even if we win all remaining games.

Milwall have Villa, Boro and Fulham after us.

[Ricky]

I didn't think beating Middlesbrough this season could be so unsatisfying.

 

[Bladesman]

Decent first half, we looked like we putting them to the sword.

Second half we put the sword away and got out a baguette. Thankfully we hung on in there somehow.

We have to play Millwall but they are currently 3 points clear with a much better goal difference so would finish above is if they won all of their other remaining games. Middlesborough are also 1 point ahead of us and would therefore finish above us if they win all of their remaining games. Wall and Middlesborough have to play each other but we only need one of them to finish above us really.

Basically what I am saying is that it was it our hands until we threw it away against Barnsley but it isn't now.

Neither can I but I also can't see us winning all of out remaining games. Hope we do mind.

 

[super_pig]

everyone is going on about the second half.. it's pressure.. pure and simple. only results count now.
