Momentum shift?

[Greasy Chap Butty]

I don't want to be a harbinger of doom but I felt it after Bristol City's late equaliser on Tuesday. Burnley are looking the business. We have to go to Turf Moor never a happy hunting ground for us. The derby takes on even greater significance now and the Pigs know it. Getting 1979 pre Boxing Day vibes about it. Tomorrow and Coventry at the Lane will define the season I feel.

Leeds and Burnley are both dropping points at a similar rate to us. We are all in the same boat.
It's no worse for us than them. Time to for people to put their big boy pants on.

Whatever your feelings are about today, we need to win. Regardless of how. We need to win.
I've been a Blade since the late 60's. Someone has already said with the Blades they always take you down to the wire. And over the years they always have.
So many times I 've watched matches where getting THE result matters. Today is one of these days. All too often though, I 've come away disappointed. I really hope this won't be the case today. We need to win.
If we dont, for me, it will be the same feeling I got at MK Dons when Ched went down. We were flying at that time.After what happened off the pitch we lost all momentum. And we all know how it went from there.
Those bastards across the city would love it if they can play some part in us not going up. It's a game we must not lose.
Yes I know, there will still be matches to play and points to win. It won't be over win lose or draw.
But, WE NEED TO WIN!


COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE WIZAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!

Our great season next year in this league is likely to be without Hamer Souza Cooper and possibly Peck

well if we lose them we should have plenty of cash to replace them

8 games to go. Most points won on the pitch. When are the bed wetters going to see how silly they look

I always thought I was a slasher, but dear me, some of the comments on here after Burnley won at Swansea ffs.
We have won 65% of our fixtures, more than anyone else in the division.

Be inspired
Your team are real men
Resilient and full of character

Try and learn something from them

Aged well.

[Norwood's 6 iron]

When Leeds beat us they went 5 points clear. In the last 4 games we have wiped out that deficit.
There is only one club with momentum and that is the Blades.

 

[Camden Blade]

Aged well.

Was just getting a little anxious that's all. I'm usually optimistic.

 

[Keen Blade]

So we have to ensure we extract maximum value for them and we should already be scouting their replacements.
See "player trading" under 'B'

Bournemouth Brentford & Brighton.

Quite a few posters who were very vocal last few days have suddenly disappeared
Obviously I'm paranoid when I accuse these posters of being pigs

If we go up they all stay

If we don’t there’s circa £60-100m of sales there

Not ideal but they won’t all go, and if they do then replace, same way as we have lost Berge, ndaiye, Hendo, Bash & Billy but here we are…. Top of the league

 

[Roygbiv]

What were you worried about?

 

[Foxy]

I just can't get my head around the fact we're in a relegation battle.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I'm assuming they missed out the word consecutive

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

What were you worried about?

 

[COME BACK CHED]

One more point and the difference , between us and the pigs points total , would have kept us up last year .

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Tomorrow and Coventry at the Lane will define the season I feel.

Let's hope you got that bit right

 

[Silky Sabella]

We will finish in the play offs which is way above where I thought we would finish
So hats off.

Hopefully we can then employ a nrw
Management team who will put us in a better position to survive in the prem should we get there.

The blades won't finish in the play offs, they will be promoted automatically .BUT, I agree 100% about a new a management team. Wilder is too long in the tooth as well as lacking the tactical nous to be a successful manager in the premiership, as he proved before, and the cutting edge tactical knowledge is a damn sight more ruthless and clinical now than it was when he was last there.

 

[Valleyblade]

The late equaliser from Bristol City ahead of pigs away, then Frank Lampard's Coventry City, was the subject of this thread.

A superb derby double completed, and a huge performance tonight. I'm hopeful the momentum has shifted our way.

Pressures on for the chasing pack of two.

Why don't you head back to Pork Talk and chat about the tactical genius that is Sausage Rohl.

Pork alert….

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Here was I opening this thread thinking how it was going to be about Leeds dropping points in 3 of their last 4 games

Sorry 4 of their last 5.
