Its going to be a tough match, two of the division's form teams going head to head.

Wasn't everyone predicting Preston were going to hammer the Blades just like they did v Cardiff and how they were the form team because they beat Birmingham.

The Blades can only carry on doing what they're doing, i didn't think Burnley looked that special last night.

I don't think anyone can call this with certainty!!!

It will come down to whichever team makes the least mistakes over the course of the game and who takes there chances!!!

9 0 to Blades just to be different:hihi::hihi:
Seriously IMHO I think it is going to be a tough game for BOTH teams. I was watching last night and in the first half Reading were cutting the Burnley defense to shreds with a ball down the wings a'la how we played on Monday

I dont think Burney played that well until the second half

Im sorry to say, but Burnley have hit form at the right time and they was all over United a couple of weeks back, I think its going to 2-1 to Burnley.

Before I get slated by any United Fans no I don't support any Sheffield team :P

The Blades form isn't to obad though, 1 loss in 17 league matches and 3 goals conceded in the last 10 matches?

I'm happy for Burnley to go into the match as favourites, i'll hark back to 97 when Palace beat us 1-0 in the POF (we did the double over them and beat them 3-0 just weeks before the Final) and 2003 when Wolves beat us 3-0 in the POF (we hammer them 3-1 at their place and got a 3-3 draw at the Lane).

Its all about on the day so i'm happy to wait and see before making any predictions, weren't Preston meant to be the form team going onto the Play Offs, look what happened to them.

Saying that though you have only scored 5 goals in the last 7 game's, and your top scorer this season is Stephen Quinn with only 8 goals, something that will need to be rectified if you make the Premiership.

Agreed- unfortunately that kind of correction usually costs about 6-8 million pounds :hihi:

Do you think?

I would say they would give blackwell 10-15mil to spend on players, now im not that worried about our defense but i think we need at least 2 QUALITY midfielders and a class striker- i think that would be about 15-20mil to get all of them.

i agree about Burnley being very impressive last night .

their movement up front is superb,Paterson aND Thompson are Quality players.

i think they will definatly score in the final so you will need at least 2 .

A lot will depend on how we handle Eagles.If he nullifies the bombardment that either of the 2 Kyles did to Preston by pushing either of them into a more defensive role then it will be tougher.We've still got Cotts though of course- who didn't play at Burnley so I'm pretty confident.
