Finishing 5th

[BeardedSaXon]

After securing our PO spot I wonder how Mr Clough will approach the final game of the season. Personally I hope he plays our strongest 11 against Chesterfield to take some positive momentum into the playoffs. I believe we need to finish 5th to have our best chance of making the final. I fear if we loose tomorrow then either MK Dons or Preston will be too much for us over two legs and it will be another abject season next time in league 1. So please Mr Clough, play our best 11 so you can work your cup magic once more and (hopefully) send all us blades fans home happy after a successful trip to Wembley (we have to believe...don't we?)

UTB & FTP

Good grief!!!!! Its a nothing game where both managers will rest as many players as possible! The next two games are the ones that matter and then its shit or bust at Wembley.
UTB!

Personally, given our play-offs history, I'd rather play Preston or MK in the semis and not on the Wembley pitch, so I'd rest and get others match-fit.

 

[Harry's Game]

He will approach it as he approaches every game, play not to lose and hope we snatch one on the break.

I would rather have a win, put the youngsters on as we did with Rotherham last season, I'm sure they will rest players as well, 3-1 to the blades.

Play the likely bench for Thursday, they need game time, the others need the week off.

He can play who ever he wants, as long as we go for the win.

Does it matter, go out with a full strength team, win 3-0, lose 3-0. Put out a team of youngsters and regulars( if there is such a thing in cloughs head), win 3-0 lose 3-0. Makes no difference to next 2 games. Because you just don't know which United is going to turn up. UTB FTO.

 

[Small Mendonca]

Going up is overrated anyway if we don't. We've even got the footballing giants of Bury to look forward to now as well!

 

[Blade82]

Can't make swindon on a Monday so wouldn't mind 6th. Mk Dons and preston will be shaken at not going up automatically. I'd rest key players tomorrow.

Watched the Derby game on Sky yesterday.

Talk about empathy.
Was just like watching us go for a must win game.
