They won't have Davis or Grabban this time though

Surridge and johnson have been very good though.

Which would mean we d have to win penalty shoot outs. Have you forgotten the one against Huddersfield? Simmo hasnt!

Written in the stars...

United v Huddersfield final. United winning it on penalties this time

It would be fitting but if we are to break this playoff hoodoo I'd prefer to do it how Preston eventually broke theirs - 4-0 up after an hour.

What we want is this:

Blades beat QPR convincingly in one of the best performances of the season with Billy and Gibbs-White clicking.

Under added pressure, a frustrated Boro draw with a resilient Stoke and Blackburn struggle to overcome Bournemouth. A defeat to Fulham sees Luton drop to sixth. Only Millwall can gatecrash the play offs but despite winning their remaining fixtures goal difference is always against them.

In the final game, Blades rest Egan and Sharp and play out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Uremovic keeping Mitrovic under wraps as Egan's replacement. Blades drop down to 6th and play Forest.

In the semis, Forest, without both Davis, their star man last time, and Grabban, now ruled out for the season, struggle for potency and Billy Sharp shows them how it's done in each leg with the Blades holding firm and winning 2-0 on aggregate.

Luton, glad to be there shellshock Huddersfield in the home leg and despite a rally in the second, Luton go through 3-2 on aggregate.

In a heart vs head moment Blades Analytics convinces Nathan Jones to prepare for a 'strong and physical direct team's (TM Danny Mills) and Luton lose 3-0 with Billy lifting the play off trophy in his inaugural play off experience. Chris Wilder is seen beaming proudly as part of the TV panel.

Meanwhile in League One, Rotherham take the title on goal difference, winning at Gillingham while Wigan can only draw. Wins for Wycombe and Sunderland secure their play off place and a missed penalty for MK Dons allows Plymouth to secure the last spot whilst a George Hirst hat-trick sees Portsmouth triumph 3-1 in front of a half empty Hillsborough who's remaining fans invade the pitch and disgrace themselves.

Now, that's not asking too much, is it?

You missed Leeds getting relegated at the end
Now that would be an end to a season

Think I’d prefer Bournemouth over forest for the semis, Forest have been the best team I’ve seen at the Lane this season and we’re very unlucky not to beat us.

Or:-
Forest were very lucky to draw with us (twice)
