4th v 3rd

[blade too long]

As its worked out this Friday is us 4th v bristol city newly placed in 3rd
This is why we wanted a return to the chmpionship. This game has become a real top 6 battle to catch up the leading 2.
There were plenty thinking it might have been 24th v 23rd at the beginning of August .
Personally really looking forward to it as Wilder will be looking for a huge response after Millwall and will
have told the squad his January list might be bigger if fingers are pulled out big time.
We need to convert the many chances we still create and get our mojo sparling for xmas

Better have those scoring boots on. We'll let in 2....if we're lucky.

I blame Billy Sharp.

As per usual, I have to ask you to name the "Plenty" who thought that?

Certainly not me. We are exactly where I thought we would be, play offs

Maybe it wasn't plenty but plethora

Patterson will love it if he scores,dont think he ever got over us beating his Forest team in the FA Cup.

throughout the country
who thought us and bristol city would struggle

and some on here mentioned relegation last week which shocked me

S6 people only (and more in hope probably). The bookies had us mid table, and most Blades had us 12th to 6th on average.

It's a sobering thought that the last time we played them at home, Michael Higdon was making his debut!

Yes, but he scored and we thought he would be decent................reality soon dawned

bbc was one of the moderate ones

its top 4 looks humourous

1 Middlesbrough 2.68
2 Fulham 3.36
3 Aston Villa 3.96
4 Sheffield Wednesday 5.12

 

[TJB.]

Yep, a great test and a match to relish. Two proper clubs with good starts under their belts going for it.

And I won't be there because Sky rearranged it for the same time as a gig I bought for months ago.

Tossers.

One thing we'll have to do is cut off their supply of gifs.

Didn't he hobble off with a hamstring injury on Saturday night.?

 

[SteveBlade]

The first game we've gone into for over a year where I've been slightly apprehensive.

Only slightly though.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Dont know,i missed the game,google will get the answer.

A point would be a really good result. Bristol are flying and from what I saw on Saturday night they have the perfect style to cause us headaches.

We have two tough looking away trips to follow this, So we need something on Friday other wise the slide is definitely on and Sunderland on Boxing Day becomes huge.
