Bypassblade   10 #25 Posted May 1, 2015 I'd say it is guaranteed that one of PNE or MK Dons will go up, after all, one of them will take the automatic place.  As for not having the guts or quality, you may be right, however to compare it to other play off campaigns is a bit daft.  Should all players be fit, there will only be Doyle and Murphy in our starting XI who will have previously played in a play off campaign for the Blades.   Robbie mate that's just his bitter bias coming out, it was only 6 weeks ago he'd put a cast iron £50.00 on United to win play offs; so sadly his predictions go with his mood.  I take mick out of people I admit, but sometimes he sadly posts verge on vitriol, shame not a bad youth.

At the end of the day the don't want us to go up as they have enjoyed this little spell of being one league above us after a decade in our shadows.  The truth of the matter is that our chairman has invested £10m into transfer fees and wages and he states that he will significantly increase this to compete if we gain promotion.  They like to believe we are struggling on and off the pitch. We've had a few bad results this season but we have turned up in the big games as well. Financially we are in the best position that we have been in for a long time.  They better hope we don't get promotion. SHEFFIELD IS RED AND WHITE.

Well I am literally quaking in my boots Difference is now is that our owner has money to throw at his new toy and yours is chasing his money although I think he gets a decent rent return. You won't make the final but if you do you'll blow it as usual. I wouldn't be without you lot, I really wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â It's not usually getting to the final that's the problem, it's turning up when we are there... a goal would be nice in a final, just for the novelty of it... Â Swindon would be the preferred semi-final opponents, but i'm sure they'd think exactly the same about the blades - the two sides that look to be stumbling towards the playoffs. Â If Preston do flop on Sunday, it will be hard for them to pick themselves up again, especially with their dreadful playoff record. MK Dons look to be flying, and would be hot favourites for the final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
