Winning an away Play off semi final game

[Sandygate Blade]

We've played 8 away Play off semi final games and not won one. Got to be a first time so why not Tuesday. #clutchingatstraws

Bristol City lost
Ipswich draw
Sunderland lost
Forest draw
Preston draw
Stevenage draw
Yeovil lost
Swindon draw

Surely we can't play as bad on Tuesday

 

[Bladesman]

Our playoff record is utter wank. I am surprised people think we had a chance of winning them.

Only team to have beaten Forest at home in 2022? Liverpool!

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

We have different players, different tactics and a different manager. Past records are entirely irrelevant in these circumstances.

 

[FlamingLip]

We're consistent

We have had different players, managers and backroom staff everytime and still fucked it reyt up.

Well they need to go for a start.

Our goal has given us a window … come on Blades !

There is more chance of me fucking Kylie Minogue up the arse than us beating Forest on Tuesday

[blade too long]

forests record is Bad as ours

1 goal is not insurmountable

scuff a 1-0 win and go to penalties will do

I think there is every chance of turning this over

Hence another reason why we won’t win

Your grasp on probability is questionable. Unless you know her very well and already have a third(?) date planned for Tuesday...?

 

[Booker4]

I don't think the play off history had anything to do with today's result, forest we're just better on the day and their counter attack style worked wonders. Will we win away? It's a long shot but if if there's only one goal n it then we have a chance.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^[

FFS hope the players have a bit more faith than op some of our supporters.

The fact we played soooooo bad but got a confidence killing goal in injury time puts us on the front foot. Technically and skilfully they are head and shoulders above uss based on our 3 games this season. Yet, they only just scrambled a point int last game (in injury time).

Fans need to lift themselves and the team, stop lickin yer wounds and start supporting the Blades.

 

[Stevo]

The only positive is that we can't be as bad as we were yesterday

 

[Bladesince59]

There are two Sheffield Uniteds. One versus Fulham the other versus Forest. Let's hope the Fulham version turns up on Tuesday.

We should have rolled over to Fulham/ QPR & enjoyed our summer

Hello

Hi

 

[Revolution]

Fun fact - of our 7 playoff semi final ties, all of them except 1 (Ipswich in 1997) was decided by one goal. Ipswich was of course decided on away goals.

1988 1-2
1997 3-3
1998 2-3
2003 5-4
2009 2-1
2012 1-0
2013 1-2
2015 6-7

We'll draw tomorrow.

The 2015 tie was decided by a shit manager Nigel Duff.

Not correct though. Ours is 5 appearances in the Championship play-offs with no wins, they have appeared 3 times with no wins. I think they have a bad semi-final record but they are a better team than us based on the performances in the 3 games against them this season.

Psychologically I don't think we have what it takes to go there and win. Hope I'm wrong.
