Before the Forum divides into moaners, knockers and Specsavers (i.e. those wearing rose and white tinted spectacles), please we are all Blades.
Like thousands of others I am bitterly disappointed. Yet again United have screwed it up. I have little time for those who say we don't always screw up because err we do. For a club that seems to get away with it look at Barnet, like Coventry for years total garbage but when it matters avoids relegation. Indeed the Pigs have a similar tendency. The seasons they have skirted with relegation and always seem to pull it off. I can only think of two seasons when we really pulled it off, both under Bassett’s era, though you could argue Warnock saved us from the clutches of Heath's disastrous start.
What really bugs me is United's love affair with failure. Surely there is something endemically wrong with the club that never fails when it matters to screw up. So here we are at the play offs yet again, largely because of Ched Evans' penis. Had he not been convicted I doubt we would have failed to beat Stevenage and Exeter. We would have done it.
I had hoped a 2-1 win would have lifted the team but oh no we go and let Exeter back into the game. The win was important for rebuilding confidence. And now it must be shot.
United must do something they have never done. Win an away game in a play-off fixture. Personally I don't see it. I see a repeat of the league fixtures, Stevenage to win there and a draw at BDTBL. Wouldn't it be great to be proved wrong? My forecast is Stevenage v MK final with Stevenage going up.
But what is needed is some deep-rooted analysis of why United are such bottlers. I remember as a lad that for 20 years they never got past the 4th round of the FA Cup and until Bassett I think (?) they hadn't won an away FA Cup replay for 50 something years (away at Brighton?). It has been so painful with this club and I want to know why. We are just utter garbage. After MK we should have been up for Stevenage but no DW couldn't motivate his players. So today was academic. Just imagine having beaten Stevenage last week conceding to Exeter and gifting the blue bastards promotion. Yes it could have been worse.
I want to know is the club intrinsically nesh? Why are we so crap at even getting success just some of the time?
