Not at all. I dreamt last night that we beat Brentford 4-0 on opening day then beat Derby 0-1 on second game. Only issues I see is that we're not playing Derby and Gary Hooper scored the goal
I've never looked forward to a new season as next season.
There's only 1990 when we returned to div 1 with Bassett and 2007 when we went up to the PL with Warnock that raises a similar level of excitement and expectation. That's the reason why I've bought my first season ticket since being out of the PL.
Logic suggests we should easily stay up, probably mid table
But Wilder does seem to have the Midas touch, eveything he touches turns to gold.
Even if we reached the playoffs with Wilder I'd expect us to win.
If we had a penalty shoot out against the Germans, with Wilder in charge I'd expect us to win.
So although I expect us to finish comfortable mid table it wouldn't surprise me if we are the Huddersfield of next season and get close or even into the playoffs.
We are a club on the march
Wilder has brought back a "feel good" factor that's even bigger than what Warnock achieved.
I really feel sorry for the pessimist and the doom and gloom brigade who had to go into hiding.
Because there was virtually nothing to complain about last season, up there with the best season I've seen us play in the 40+ years I've been watching the Blades.
We didn't just win matches but we dominated and played some fantastic football.
I've never been so relaxed watching the Blades. Even when we went 1-0 down I knew we'd come back.
PS: Agree with have too many players with great potential, so we don't know 100% how they'll cope in the higher league but remember we do have a contingency fund to strengthen or buy whoever in Jan18 once Wilder knows where the weaknesses are. We'll be fine.
sometimes other people's pesimism amazes me
Ah the mighty PNE.Bit gobshitey some of their fans,Christ knows why.Looks like transition for them if Grayson goes to Sunland.They might fancy Moyes back.Good luck wi that.I love that no one amongst the media has mentioned us for top six finish .It's good to be humble and just quietly get on with it.Leave the Billy big bollox to our classless neighbours and others who adorn that crown.UTBI'm currently on holiday in Austria and wore my blades shirt. I met a Preston fan who basically said that we'd be relegated just after xmas!!. He said it's because we've joined the big boys league and haven't splashed the cash!!. I laughed at his opinion as he sounded just like a typical Wendy fan!!!. I told him that we have a bloody good manager who has got the best out of his players!!. Thoughts anyone?. Utb
If we don't add any more players, we'll be in a relegation fight. But the window doesn't shut for two months.
I suspected something was wrong when I saw he had a washing machine for a head.
Dunno, I'd have thought Madine but it looks like there's a full load in there so perhaps not.Shefki Kuqi was it?
Quality post that Sheff Steel , I echo every comment you make there , sometimes other people's pesimism amazes me , if you brought them a chest of gold they'd say how the fuck do you expect me to carry that home .. no winning sometimes eh ?
Yes I agree we are going to struggle without any better quality signings . I hope Chris doesn't make same mistake as warnock with going one goalie Kenny needed somebody to challenge him and so does Moore utbEven then, I’d be very confident that there would be 3 or more worse teams than us. I suspect the team we went up with would have a good chance of staying up and we’ve added Ched, Stevens, Thomas and Baldock since then. Suppose we’ve lost EEL and Chapman though. But if we add 1 good centre half (ideally a sweeper/ organiser to compete with Wright), and another adequate one for cover (possibly EEL) then I’ll be extremely confident we’ll stay up even if we don’t get the likes of Leonard, Holmes etc.

There is still George Long. Wilder hasn't said much about for quite a while, but he remains a part of the squad. How do we know that a long spell out of the firing line hasn't been greatly beneficial to him, and having to play understudy to a genuine top class number 1, hasn't improved his own game?
I'm certain that if Long couldn't do a job for us Wilder would have had rid of him and brought it someone to replace him,
I'm afraid I think we will struggle, none of the players brought in are world beaters, and lack of a quality centre half or two yet, is abit worrying.Realistically I think we are looking at bottom 5, hopefully not in bottom 3.
All I know is that we will be able to tell definitively after 1 game and if we're struggling booing, loud moaning or silence are the only possible remedies.
That's easy!!. There's not that many pne fans!. They're outnumbered by fucking German twats who look at a blades shirt and haven't got a clue who the fuck we are!!. They'll find out in 3 years time when we beat Bayern Munich in the champions league semi final!!. UtbI'm going to Austria in September, has anyone got any tips on how to avoid Preston fans please?

Thanks for that. Perhaps I may have been a bit sensitive. That kind of thing really annoys me though!!. I may still put other posts on during the season!!.I thought ourbob's post was a bit unnecessary but hardly 'trolling' so maybe you are being a bit over sensitive about this?
Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's so don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
