Well

[PeteBlade]

We're really going to take this to the last day and then miss out, aren't we!

Back to back wins though, great night all in all!

P: 43 W: 18 D: 11 L; 14 F: 63 A: 54 Pts. 69

That's us and Rochdale...

 

[northsomersetblade]

90 points would have been a decent haul this time around

 

[metalblade]

The football Gods are lining us up for a last minute goal in the last game to drop us out of the play off spot on goal difference ............................... it's the Blades way

 

[Tyler Durden]

I can put up with missing out on the last day.

But I cannot tolerate the thought of those mutant pricks from up the road ending it all on Saturday.
We need to beat those bastards.

 

[blade67]

still totally underwhelmed. too far away from gills and Barnsley with only 3 left, all tough games.

it's been a shit season

Nice to see you've brought Walsall back into the equation

The irony of potentially having to rely on Clough for a favour!

 

[boo radley]

Yes. Thanks for asking.

 

[davidpinder]

So what happens if us and Rochdale finish on all the same ? Does it go on head to head? In which case they win 4-3 on agg

 

[Kenilworth]

Yep.
Results head to head.

 

[YES Blade]

Rather that than going to Wembley for another failure!

 

[Mack]

thinking back to the debacle on the opening day it'd be pretty gutting if we ended up losing out to Gillingham by the narrowest of goal difference margins.

Plus illegable player, at the same game.

Absolutely.
I can't bear the thought of the sight of that lot high-sixing each other after the game on Bramall Lane before they go home to go through a relative

 

[Whiston Blade]

Our inbred neighbours from Dingleville have already set off...

we can start a west ham style hate campaign over cheating , inserting Gillingham if thats how it ends

 

[DazBlade88]

We were 10 points from the playoffs two games ago. Now it's five with three to play. It's difficult, but by no means are we too far away.

Let's just see where Saturday leaves us.

Knowing our luck it will be alphabetical order.

 

[Wards]

And so it has been written...

That would be SO Sheffield United.

 

[Woodwardfan]

thinking back to the debacle on the opening day it'd be pretty gutting if we ended up losing out to Gillingham by the narrowest of goal difference margins.

More recent than that, no way they deserved a point in the recent match at Bramall Lane and when their on-loan MOM who has played for them not too long just streteched out to get the slightest nick on that ball that Che would have tapped in for the winner with about 5 minutes to go. Fine margins.

Then there was that stupid goal we conceded in the 95th minute at Barnsley after dominating the game.

At least we deserved what we got at Rochdale, nowt.

It's in the script. We don't just fail . . . We fail with honours and distinction. We fail with record scorelines, goalkeepers missing penalties, last minute screamers etc etc. Most of us had long ago filed this season away under. . . . Shite.
But they've done it again. . . . . . Given us a flicker of fucking hope.

We have cut it to 4 points

 

[DazBlade88]

We have cut it to 4 points

Of course we have! Good job my job doesn't involve working with numbers

The majority of responses on this thread are made considerably more enjoyable if you picture them being voiced by this chap:

 

[CarlMcBlade]

A new FA rule is to be introduced just before the play-offs, outlawing the use of the 3-5-2 formation.
