Not that bad

[Gareth Kay]

First thread started but commented on loads.
I'm normally negative but thought we were good today. A good striker away from winning comfortably

Not norm

[Argentinemanager]

Must agree with you here, thought we controlled the game for long periods, just a natural finisher off an easy win

 

[Whitby-Blade]

Lacked balls and personality, we seemed worried about dropping a point where most thought we should be going all out for 3.

We won't get promoted but are one of the better teams in a shite championship. Tippy tappy football today should have scored more goals. I'd rather that than the other day

Look at the stats

We did go for all 3

If we get promoted we'll be set for a Derby county 11 points season but on the other hand if we don't go up we could be like one of the many recent premier League teams that finish mid table in the championship and just fester for years. If we go up we would hopefully be able to sign some better players but hopefully not with breaking the bank like we have done last time out.

It was a great example of why you need strikers tonight, someone just lurking in that area and attacking the goal.

 

[Rodley]

Agree with the OP, we were all over them with spells all out attack (and admittedly wide open at the back on a few occasions).

Just needed the final bit and we would have been home and hosed, but some of the attacking play and chances created were outstanding IMHO.

 

[Wards]

First half I thought it was the most creative and incisive since Boro at home. So much more fluid than we have been, and it helped with both Robbo and Bash getting forward lots.

 

[Blad]

It was certainly two points dropped but I thought we were excellent at times, game should have been over by halftime but that’s what not having Billy playing will do. Going forward I thought we were really slick with great quick feet and everyone seemed to click, really good play but just not that bog liner who happens to be in the right places to score the goals. But the point gives us a 3 point cushion on Boro Blackburn QPR with us having a slightly better goal difference which could count as an extra point at the business end. So it’s not all lost, Millwall are two behind us but have two difficult away games to come. Saturday is a must win though.

Best football I've seen from United for ages, quick, front foot and direct, until the final third, although I thought Bristol were possibly the worst team I've seen this season, crying out for Billy Sharp, Bash and Fleck looked good but generally they all played well, pity about our shooting, wonder what FallowfieldBlade made of it

Fleck was great and his form , or lack of and joc missing have been a massive miss

did you see Millwall. goal freaky good fortune and QPR were outplayed by Derby. but won with a smash and grab
we are due a tiny nit of luck for a change

thought we played well and showed good cohesion despite having players play despite not being 100 per cent fit and a bench of kids

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Think this is the first time ever I wouldn’t be devastated if we didn’t make the play offs, we’re way off been a stable prem club squad wise. I think it would be a hard watch if we went up so I’d rather rebuild and go up more deservedly and with a bit more flair.

Ok football dinosaur..."gerrit forrad" "put it int' mixer" "put yer foot thru it". Some of our 1 and 2 touch passing and off the ball movement today was great to watch. Only thing missing was a natural goalscorer, and the only 1 we have, Sharp, is injured.

I do agree that we will be fcked if we get promoted, however prem league is a bag of wank anyway, fookin boring and no chance unless you are bankrolled by billionaire owners.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

I think today's result finally ended our play off hopes.

Eh? We are in the play offs right now.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

I quite enjoyed watching the build up play today. Nice intricate moves, thought it was quicker than Friday. There were mistakes but your going to get them at this end of the season. Nice to see Bash back, I can excuse his mistake for the goal because he gives his all. What a player Gibbs White is. Great balance and vision. And you can tell he loves being here,

Fallowfield blade were probably chilling with the benchill mad dogs having a smoke and a drink waiting for a madness with some Scouse gang

A striker that can score seals that game in the first half. Could have been at least 3 up.

Are you for real ??
As ever UTB !

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Eh? We are in the play offs right now.

Given that there is only really one place still up for grabs and our games left compared to Millwall and Middlesbrough's I think today's result will prove costly.

We are sat in the play offs now. Millwall have two difficult away games out of their three, and two points to make up. Boro are 3 points behind and we have a slightly better goal difference which could count as a point come the end. We are in a very strong position as it stands right now. Saturday is a must win though no ifs or buts.

 

[Deadbat]

Millwall go to a terrible Birmingham side (not that difficult). I would think they will beat them and Peterborough

I think if we do not win Saturday we are done for which is weird to say in 6th but QPR are really strong at home and we are not away and then Fulham are very good even if on the beach - them being relaxed might not be a good thing at all - they also won';t rest players as it is the last game.

 

[Bladesince59]

Neither United nor Bristol were ever going to score 2 tonight.

Millwall are 1 point behind us.
Middlesbrough have a game in hand.
Millwall play Birmingham away who have just been hit for 6, then play Peterborough at home, granted Bournemouth is tough but I can still see them getting 6 points.
Middlesbrough play Swansea and Preston away with Cardiff and Stoke at home can easily see them picking points up.
I agree Cardiff is a must win game but I think failing to beat a poor Bristol City side today will be what actually costs us a place in the play offs.
