Which team do you want to finish in 6th place?

[PeterNdlovu081]

I couldn't care less.

I'm more concerned about us fucking ourselves up than any opposition we might face.

 

[steve26272]

In order of preference Boro, Coventry, Bristol then Millwall.

Psychology plays a part at this point

Cov and Boro won’t fancy facing us given what we did to them

Milwall and Bristol will fancy their chances given what they did to us

Fine margins, but let’s have someone who we’ve battered recently and give them a head worm

 

[Roygbiv]

The table since January is extremely close. Unless we win our last 2, we will highly likely be going into the play offs as the 3rd best team this year. Sunderland are an odd one as they've basically been playing glorified friendlies for 3 months.

 

[RammyBlade]

Beating Millwall in the final at Wembley would be my choice for the PO's.

Millwall would have to beat Leeds at ER so we would be likely to play them in the semi final rather than final

 

[Selly]

Millwall would have to beat Leeds at ER so we would be likely to play them in the semi final rather than final

Burnley at TM not Leeds (they play Bristol C)- your point stands though - Millwall are extremely unlikely to get 5th

 

[Gavlar]

I'm wondering how many folks will refer to Bristol City as Bristol by the end of this thread. So far 3.

I suspect the same folks would irk at us being called Sheffield on their forum.

Living in Bristol if we lose I would hate it to be against Bristol C as I wouldn't hear the end of it and my 2nd team Bristol Rovers
are on the way to league 2!

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Any of them.

We've never not got to final with a home 2nd leg.

Then again the apathy and only 14k gate could change that

 

[Silent Blade]

Coventry v Boro in the last game of the season, could be the decider on who will play against us on May8th and 12th!

 

[Silent Blade]

Any of them.

We've never not got to final with a home 2nd leg.

Then again the apathy and only 14k gate could change that

We did in 2003, 2009 and 2012

 

[Pollingtonblade]

We did in 2003, 2009 and 2012

That's what I said whenever we've had a home 2nd leg we've reached final

 

[TrustyNO5]

100 percent want cov. They were dross when we played them and just lost to Plymouth

 

[Silent Blade]

That's what I said whenever we've had a home 2nd leg we've reached final

You said "We've never not got to final with a home 2nd leg."

 

[The Bear]

Bristol City are looking dead certs to finish 5th, either Coventry or Middlesbrough (preferably Coventry) as one of them will probably just drift into playoffs on the last day.

And of course they play each other on the last day.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

You said "We've never not got to final with a home 2nd leg."

He was right, that is correct.

 

[Cappy]

Millwall away day would be the best, followed by Bristol. The other two are meh

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Leeds

 

[Silent Blade]

He was right, that is correct.

Who was right?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Who was right?

Pollington.

We've finished 3rd three times previously and never not got to the final with a home second leg.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

You said "We've never not got to final with a home 2nd leg."

Yes I did, im right as well.

 

[Silent Blade]

Pollington.

We've finished 3rd three times previously and never not got to the final with a home second leg.

Ah! Never not, I read it as "never", apologies to Pollingtonblade

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Ah! Never not, I read it as "never", apologies to Pollingtonblade

It's still strange how we've never had a home second leg as a result of finishing 4th.

1997 - 5th
1998 - 6th
2003 - 3rd
2009 - 3rd
2012 - 3rd
2013 - 5th
2015 - 5th
2022 - 5th
2025 - 3rd

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

The only team we've beaten in the last couple of weeks are 23rd.....we should fear no one......holy shiite

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Doesn’t matter we’re non beating any of them

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Not Coventry…Gus might go missing. I don’t think he’d want to be the one to break their hearts.

 

[Blades1971]

Forget stats and figures. We have finished 3rd for a reason. Third best team in the league.
On our day we are better than any of the other teams.
Blades, just do it

 

[loyalblade95]

And of course they play each other on the last day.

Could have 6th place potentially decided on GD if it comes down to Cov and Boro, a small chance it might keep Millwall out even if they win their last 2 games.

6) Coventry: 66 +5 GD
7) Middlesbrough: 63 +10 GD
8) Millwall: 63 -1 GD

If Coventry win at Luton on Saturday (difficult game), that will probably finish it for Millwall (even if they win), given the 6 GD swing they would have to overturn in the final games:

Coventry Vs Middlesbrough
Millwall Vs Burnley

Going to be very interesting this Saturday afternoon, which us Blades fans can relax a bit after playing before everyone else on Friday.

Did you see the free kick a few weeks ago also the Cov fans applauded Hamer and gave O'Hare some stick be great to see O'Hare bag one against them.

Millwall won't get anything out of Burnley

You have completely disregarded Bristol City in this equation, so if Millwall win and Coventry win this weekend they are on 69 and 66 respectively, Bristol City are currently on 67 so have you got them winning this weekend as well?

Yeah I know, but I guess at that time we were top of the league and weren’t likely to meet them again this season…Especially for such an important match…Just saying.
