Yawn.

Because we have something to play for, right?

 

[peakblade]

Message to all 'ultra loyal ' blades ......
Final moan fest of the season
Moan loud and proud

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Never ever want a team to beat us and today is no different. I couldn't give a shit about the playoffs and the permutations...I do however, care about my football club. ALWAYS HAVE. . ALWAYS WILL. UTB!!

Yeah, fair enough

I just feel that any concept of pride for us this season has long since gone out of the window. The players barely give a toss, so its hard for me to in these circumstances

I don't want any possibility of Wrexham going up, or Hull

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Mile offside no flag

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Hard to focus on our game today

My predictions for the big ones

Ipswich win
Millwall win
Wrexham v Boro draw
Hull draw
Derby win

I'd give Ipswich a major chance of bottling it but they could not wish for a better game

 

[Champagneblade]

Boro winning. Ha ha

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Thank God, it won' t happen next season 100% guaranteed

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

I'm sure Tanganga and McGuiness are nice blokes who are trying their best, but I haven't been this scared watching a CB partnership since the days of Neill Collins and Calamity Jay McEveley.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Boro winning. Ha ha

Conway's ended up on a good tally in the end. Good player, one of my favourites in this league

We'll get him when he's 33

They don't have a strength between them

 

[Espania blade]

Derby should be 3 - 0 up shocking defending as usual

 

[71Blade]

Zero shape or organisation whatsoever

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Ipswich 2 up in 9 minutes. Boom. That's them up

Perfect scenario with the early goal. Minimises nerves, gives licence to well and truly smash them and get it done within 25 mins

 

[Bladedog]

What's even more scary is the thought of em being here next season.

 

[toledo]

One of the things I've noticed about Davis, our GK. is that he stays on his line. GK's should 'own' the 6 yeard box at the least. Most of these type goals usually see him stuck on his line.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

All I want from this lot today is Arblaster to show positive signs, and Peck to put in a performance to help his value

GOAL! S. Szmodics 5' | Derby 1-0 Sheffield Utd

 

[espoo blade]

Cheers SUTV...really wanted to be handed over to the Rust Bucket with the twat in the hat

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Seeing same mistakes today. Two centre backs that can’t defend. A left hand side which doesn’t work. The centre midfield pairing which….doesn’t work.

 

[ATL Recs]

All I want from this lot today is Arblaster to show positive signs, and Peck to put in a performance to help his value

Arblaster absolute dog poo

 

[ATL Recs]

How many times does he have to do this Peck and Arblaster
Shambolic this

 

[10p]

I always want Cannon to do well but unfortunately he just gives up so easily. His attitude is the exact opposite of O’Hare. He will have to go. We write off the £10m transfer fee but don’t have the big wage to pay next season.
How I wish had a decent recruitment team, or even a half decent one.

Yep, we should get rid of him, and anyone like him, on any basis we can

We can't have them cluttering up the place just because we've spent what is now dead money on them

 

[BangorBlade]

Once again build up too slow, tippy tapping, we look way too narrow

 

[Foxy]

HALF TIME | Derby 1-0 Sheffield Utd

 

[calcalcal]

Were a bit shit arent we
Lost 50% of all games
We will be much nearer the drop than the playoffs next year I fear

If we offload him no matter the cost I would consider that good business. There is nothing to him in possession or out of it.

Cannon has this amazing knack of always being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

[espoo blade]

Cannon has this amazing knack of always being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yep, pretty much what Asaba was saying. You want him to come short he goes long, you want him to go left he goes right...
