We lost 3-1 away to Blackburn that day,and we were all totally pissed off,great credit to the lads and the management team

[Bennyand the Blades]

Think we will make the play offs, it's just our record in that competition that worries me........

 

[BigBed]

Keep playing like we did today, we could easily make 2nd.

 

[Blad]

With the correct team selection I believe we will be top two.

 

[metalblade]

50pts I think we should be safe from relegation now

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Surprisingly, the gap between us and PO’s back then was only 7 points. Still a fantastic effort though and could’ve been higher if we buried Hull and took some chances at Hudds.

50pts I think we should be safe from relegation now

Some of the planks on here didn't think that was the case just before Christmas. We were in for a relegation battle with Hecky.

Muppets

 

[Dongivensmademecry]

I was that muppet …. The way things were looking after the Blackburn farce …. After all these years watching our beloved I could smell league 1 …. Fair play to the board seeing this and, massive credit to Heckingbottom for the turnaround

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Turns out that, if you actually play a system that suits the players and pick players in the positions they actually play, we're a decent team.

 

[Stevo]

I was really fearful of relegation

 

[HD8 Blades]

Think we will make the play offs, it's just our record in that competition that worries me........

Our oldest player is Billy at 36. He’d have been 11 when we lost to Palace in ‘97. Ndiaye was three when we lost to Wolves in Cardiff in 2003. When we lost to Huddersfield in 2012 MGW was 12. Past failures sit with past players.

50pts I think we should be safe from relegation now

Some of our more pessimistic fans would argue with that until we pass 70 points we are still mathematically not safe according to some providing every single result goes against us

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Keep playing like we did today, we could easily make 2nd.

..... as long as Sander Berge is in the starting line-up? (2nd spot highly unlikely even if we maintain average 2.3 points per game as that gives us 84 points - we were promoted with 89 last time)

 

[Harry's Game]

Meanwhile at West Brom…


”I have no clue what I am fucking doing”

 

[Belvedere Blade]

A few more wins and Bournemouth slip ups and breathing down the neck of 2nd

Plus got got to play the Cherries @ BDTBL. What a 6 pointer that game could be

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Plus got QPR H & A. Double over them

 

[knowsnowt]

Difference now we look dangerous dinking it over the top with the ball at our feet. And the defence with their circular motion playing on the front foot always ready to play triangles whilst looking for the killer 1-2 from the oppositions keeper.
No more running with it into the hole, and being ready in midfield for any sideways movement taking us back to square one at pace.
Stunning intelligent football.

Ben Brereton or whatever the fuck he calls himself these days is done for the season. He was pretty much their only threat up front.

Wes might as well just grab a can and skin up in t'net.

[Fulwood Blade]

We are replicating what Fulham did (the season the did us 4-5 at the lane)

They didn't quite make it that season finishing 3rd............but the won the playoff easily even though it was only 1 nil.

Could we do the same?..........nah fuck it - lets finish 2nd !

Went to Blackburn away - Brereton was unplayable that night, especially 2nd half with the 2 wide players up top too - they simply ran at us, but that was when Slav was playing 4 at the back.

It will be different on Wednesday - even IF Brereton was playing................but still glad he isn't as he looks a class player now.

Incredible turnaround. We were still only 8 points off the playoffs though.

This is what the table looks like since Heckingbottom's appointment:

Thought 2nd was out of reach but i would love to be proven wrong!
