Todays games

[derfblade.3]

Cardiff v Boro
Burnley v Preston
Coventry v Luton
Watford v Blackburn.

Could be a chance today to increase the gap to 3rd.
Although Cardiff have lost 3 from the last 6 they have all been 1.0 defeats. I have a feeling they will take a point today from Boro.

Luton have a toughie at Coventry and may be a bit down after getting hammered by Grimsby in midweek. Going for a Coventry win.

Watford have struggled a bit lately with just 2 wins from 6 and have a bad injury list so i reckon on Blackburn taking something there.

Looking above at Burnley they are on an amazing run but Preston have a great away record with 8 wins 3 draws and only 3 defeats. Maybe an upset on the cards?

Let's hope for a good day from the wizzzzzzards.

keep winning, none of this matters. Hopefully, we are over our "wobble" of an away draw.

Personally only looking at Middlesbrough and Luton results the rest don't matter to me. Although Burnley do play Luton next Saturday....

BBC on the money as usual in their report on Boro: "They will travel to Bramall Lane for their next league game on Wednesday 10 points behind the Blades, but with a game in hand."

Keep seeing comments like this and I don't get it. Boro are on a decent run and look what it did to forest last season. We're not going to win every game left so bad results for boro keeps the pressure off us to win.

If we get as many points from the next 15 as we got on the last 15 we will be up in mid April

Footballs a funny game and not a given. We've got 1 point off Rotherham this season where most would say 6 points guaranteed.

we beat boro were up

 

[bertieblade]

We beat boro, or at least draw and our job becomes easier but we all know that we are not up until we cannot be caught, hopefully that is sooner rather than later but we have some difficult matches to come and at the moment need thirteen wins

There's no guaranteed points accumulation from any club

Plus it's a local derby recent upswing club West Brom lost a local derby at Birmingham on friday

We've lost 5 all season ...all to mid table teams...that's football

Two wins this week and there is then a ridiculous amount of daylight between us and those supposedly chasing.

Of the original favourites:
Norwich - 19 behind
West Brom - 17 behind
Blackburn - 16 behind
Watford - 15 behind but played 1 more

You've then got a group of Millwall, Luton and Boro, none of which were really tipped for the autos before the season began.

If we can have a good couple of matches then they could all be needing a point per game more than us for the final 14 which is in my view simply not doable.

Good week please Blades!

Only 2 games give cause for concern.

Millwall away.
Sunderland away.

Norwich should be tough, but I don’t think it will be.

Boro don’t really have the squad depth to threaten us, and although Carrick has done well, I think PH will outmanouvre him.
