    You may as well celebrate the title now lads, think the rest of the league is trying to play a game of "See how little points we can get to finish 2nd."🤪

    I believe this is you finally coming round to the likelihood that you'll actually see Cov get promoted.

    See I'm the other way round. Not in the draw, I'd prefer that above all else, but if there has to be a winner I'd probably prefer it to be Millwall, just for their lack of a game in hand and lower GD affecting their possible "reach". Also from our perspective, we could feasibly draw the next...

    In either case, it was still great result for you. Prior to Cov though, he didn't overachieve at most clubs. Of course a point could also be made for what he's learned since then.

    No, your assumption that that's what I meant by my post, by just taking a tongue in cheek bit of nonsense comment by a completely different poster as supposedly a gospel description of it is off the scale.😛 I've actually been complimentary about both Cov and Frank. Have pretty much since I...

    Tbf I hadn't looked into his past below League One level, but yeah, he was decent at Alfreton, unremarkable at Halifax and Bury, decent at Oxford and probably best at Northampton prior to joining the Blades. Once he got to the level near the top of League One up though, other than Sheffield...

    See my reply to CCFCSparks and repeat. At least Pete had something decent to say.

    Oh do rein it in, you wind-up whopper🤣 You clearly haven't read the entire post. Or have, but are focussing on a bit to take out of context for the express purpose of having one of your little bit of bants which I suspect is more the case.😁 His record prior to you was "ok, with some decent...

    It's very unlikely. Especially when to stop you going up you need not one, but TWO sides to overtake you. For 2 of the 3 sides in 2nd to 4th to get that kind of points return would need a frankly astounding sequence of results, given that each is also playing the other 2 amongst their remaining...

    Tbf Lampard didn't have a brilliant record when you appointed him. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't rubbish either, it was merely "ok" with a few decent little periods. Sometimes a manager just "fits" a club (like Wilder does with the Blades, whereas he's been fairly crap most other places)...

    It's a worry against Millwall too that as well as Hackney's rumoured absence, McGree will likely get back too late from international duty for Australia to start and ditto Morris on international duty for the USA. That's practically our entire midfield out if so, best hope Browne doesn't get...

    That's put your chances at 100% then. Burnley have it etched upon their very soul now that they are to bounce forevermore.

    Statement signings if we go up?

    Correct. Ross Barkley was widely hailed as a masterstroke of a signing for Luton, was arguably their star player and it-reignited his career, which had stalled comparatively.

    Statement signings if we go up?

    There is a little truth in this, with some of our shots. This is in the main caused by our inferior strikers, tending to second guess themselves and take too many touches instead of finishing instinctively, which a striker out of form is prone to. The likes of Vipotnik as an example would do...

    Statement signings if we go up?

    You say that, but a great deal of those stats were built up when Edwards (and Adi) were in charge, prior to Hellberg's arrival, when we were much more defensively minded. The midfield were given less licence to attack so often, one or often both of the CM's acting primarily as a shield for the...

    Blackburn allocation

    They do it for every game almost I think? Boro travellers always look forward to the Ewood fixture as we can always take over 7K there.

    If that happened, you'd be 10 points clear of us, 11 clear of the other two, with a vastly better GD, only 7 games to go (one of which is Sheff Wed) and us still playing both Ipswich and Millwall? That's not an extra toe in the Prem, that's only one toe hanging out of the Prem?🤣

    Yes, the reply was in response a post saying it would be ideal if we win our game and what the repercussions would be. You've got to have a dream mate.👍

    We're hopeful of that as it would stand us in great stead. Even if Ipswich win their game in hand and beat Millwall (which would be potentially the worst outcome of those 2 games for us) we would be 2 points clear of them with 6 other games to play, one of which is Sheff Wed still. Millwall...

    Statement signings if we go up?

    He has ability in patches certainly, but he's clearly too much of a confidence player, the same as Whittaker. When he's in them, he can position himself well and has a decent shot on him. But unfortunately this tends to be for too little a proportion of the season in his case, only having this...
