Blown it or automatic Promotion?

[HuddersfieldBlade]

Simple question, do you think we have blown it for automatic, or do you. Think we will claw back the 3 points we need to get above Leeds.

Personally i think we will be level after Easter then who know, but I’m wnjoying the ride.

 

[Oreyt]

16.7% of us be schmokin' de kraak.

 

[Gimli]

It’s the blades way, we’ve blown it. Can’t wait to spend a couple of hundred quid on a heartbreaking trip to Wembley after we scrape past derby in the play off semi.

 

[Astone_Blade]

I wouldn't say we've blown it, not yet. Leeds have Villa who are flying and Wigan who really impressed against Norwich. That said I couldn't vote for automatic, its not in our hands.

 

[Ricky]

Probably blown it.

Not so much because of the result and 3 point gap, but because we appear to have ran out of bottle and energy, and have 3 important players facing time on the sidelines.

 

[sufcboy95]

Whether we do or don’t. The play offs are a lottery, and we know that on our day we can beat anyone in the league. Also the bonus we have is that we won’t have to play Aston Villa or West Brom till the final

The negative there being if we do get to the final against them we'll absolutely shit ourselves and camp in our own half.

 

[super_pig]

not over yet until mathematically impossible.. a cliché ? maybe.. but that’s football that’s why we watch it

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Automatics still on. COYRAWW!

heh what? like we have in the league games against them? we have nothing to fear from villa or wba

 

[Superbillywhitehurst]

I think L**ds will drop points at Wigan and Villa.i think Sir Chris will sort the lads out and we will win the next 4.

 

[sheffielder]

When you say blown it, can you elaborate?

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

If we get an automatic promotion spot this season I'll show my arse in Fenwick's window!

Villa and West Brom are completely different propositions now. We’ve also changed the way we play since we last played them.

Based on the last few games I can’t see us magically starting to play the free-flowing, over-lapping centre-half type football again just for the play-offs.

Let’s not kid ourselves, we will no doubt stick with the more conservative style for the remainder of the season. It’s the first time I’ve been worried about whether we will actually turn up at Wembley this time rather than actually giving it a go.

 

[SteveBlade]

Win the next four and we might finish second.

We won't unless we improve massively. Probably blown it.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Answer is in pig and truffle.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Probably blown it.

My thoughts entirely.

 

[SwissBlade]

4 games left
3 points off 2nd.

We'd be mad to give up on Automatics now.

If you look at it the other way and we'd just clawed the gap back over the last 10 games from 10 points to 3 points, people would be getting giddy saying we're going to do it...

 

[Rob86]

I’ve voted blown it and after yesterday’s game I was convinced we’d blown it given the performances in the last 4 games. We look mentally and physically tired, bar McGoldrick and have created very little. Leeds on the other hand look to be full of energy and very sharp in possession.

We now come up against 4 teams who have nothing to play for. How we conduct ourselves over Easter will renew or destroy my optimism. I’m less concerned about the points to be honest, I just want to see us return to form. 4 undeserved wins to pinch 2nd will do just fine though !! I just don’t see us getting 4 wins playing like we are.

 

[Muttley]

Until we return to our normal style of play, I doubt we will still keep scratching results. It's disappointing that we have so obviously changed tack in the past few games. Now with injuries and suspensions it's looking like we've been over cautious and blown it.
However, we have more strength in depth. If we have run out of steam then maybe, just maybe the players coming in for the missing will revitalise us a bit.
Wembley, .....sigh.

 

[SB_90]

for me i mentioned yesterday, everything comes back to mentality whether leeds win or lose, or whether we can play well. until players can cope with the pressure. because if the players continue to shit themselves everytime we take the lead like they have a few times. it doesn't matter what happens during the game like we dominated on saturday, around us or play offs because taking the lead is a pretty vital part of football. i dont know where we go from here

 

[Darthblade]

When you say blown it, can you elaborate?

I believe that the technical term is; "we have successfully pressed the self-destruct button"

UTB & FTP

 

[Davalon]

Doesn't really matter what I think.

It's what the players really think, and if we can cope with the mental and physical challenge, plus injuries.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

The two choices don't make sense. The choices are actually 'Playoffs or Automatic' . Playoffs isn't blowing it. Fingers crossed for auto, and fingers crossed in playoffs if that's what we have to do to get up.

Who could have foreseen Wigan beating Leeds never mind with 10 men?

Why is it your first thought to post bollocks to divide the fans on a great day for us?

 

[Gannon's perm]

This thread aged well lol.
Didn't know balls were in such short supply.
