Who's the dark horse?

Coventry the obvious one though they seem to get a bit of good fortune every now and again.

It may have been a cast iron penalty but someone doing something daft in the 93rd minute is two points you don’t expect.

With us I’ve read in some of the build up how they will be confident as they’d beaten us already. True, but let’s not rewrite history. They had two shots on target in 90 minutes, 7 in total, the first of which wasn’t until 70 minutes and the second of which was the penalty that Basham gave away when there was so much to do for a goal to be likely.

Meanwhile we had 18 shots, only 3 of which were on target but that doesn’t include hitting the woodwork twice with the keeper well beaten. In 7/10 matches, you’d expect to lose that match on the balance of Play and shots.

At home, full crowd, Boxing Day, a good test, but one I’d hope we come through with the players we have available. We owe them for the debacle last season, never mind the smash and grab this year.

I agree. We do owe them one, and we are well overdue another Burnley style demolition, just to prove to any other pretenders that we are a seriously dangerous side, when everyone is available and playing well. Can’t think of a better time and venue, even though I have predicted Coventry as the dark horse side. Let’s show them exactly how it’s done eh?

4-0 to dem blades.

Can't see Coventry doing anything and when Gekko leaves in Jan their goals dry up.
My dark horse is Boro. Quality squad, money available from chairman and hungry young manager wanting to prove himself

Despite their massive balls-up today, I still think Coventry might be the one to roll into the play-offs late on

My prediction was from Dec 17th.

Sunderland. Am I too late for this!

Luton could surprise a few....... oh wait, I don’t think I’m on the same wavelength

I reckon Miwaw will be in the playoffs.
