If you want to start to close the gap, needs to be 12 or 13 points. Would have to average nearly 2.5 points per game to end of season to have a chance which is highly unlikely!

latemodelchild Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 There's no reason why we can't have a late run at the top 6, other than the fact we're a bit crap. Or we were. Maybe we've turned the corner and it's the start of 7 wins on the bounce. Honestly with this club owt could happen. As said earlier in the thread though, what a waste of half a season under that moustachioed waste of space jeb end. An absolute disgrace and without a doubt the worst manager I've ever seen. I don't think I'll ever forgive or forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How we didn't win those games Go off on the first proper hot spell of the season and do the unimaginable and win the 5 more games left in February and then we're talking. On paper this looks like the easiest month of fixtures in the whole season. Believe in Steve We dropped four against WBA alone. Add the two against Birmingham and we're 3 points off.

Plonk Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Play off talk is madness. Let’s just start building for next season, a good start and see what happens. But my God the points lost under Jo’s have really hurt us. I honestly think we would have gone down had he stayed. But ten games since he left and only two defeats ( to in form hull and Chelsea) show there’s something to work with for Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Thread title sounds crazy considering season we've had. It's what SB talked about though. Every year, a team puts a run together and comes from nowhere. Could it be our turn? Why the feck not................. COME ON WEDNESDAY. Top half first, then top 10, see what happens after that.

Can you imagine if some how we fluked it and then had to rebuild for a season in the prem? It’s a massive task for the championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says its going to happen, I pointed out that we are 9 points from the top 6 and its game on, meaning its all to play for and our season is far from over.

IF you look at it from the other side, we stole quite a few points with worldies early on in the season so we are probably pretty much exactly where we should be.

Plonk Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Having totally dismissed the idea I’ve just looked at the remaining fixtures, and by the time we play dem blavdes we should have closed the gap significantly. Leeds and Norwich away are the only games we would expect to lose IF we can get a run going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what gets you excited a week before a game and it's why some defeats hurt so bad. Personally, I'd rather be with the fruitcakes than the perennial 'realists'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you "steal" the points with a world class goal, by it's very nature that's great football and takes skill, aptitiude and class! However, we were lucky against Leeds, thay murdered us. And I don't think things "even out over the season" as someone else has said. I've been watching Wednesday too long to know that this is not true. Penalties for instance. I'm willing to bet that over the 52 years I've been going we have one of the lowest number of penalties awarded in the football league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 One or two Blades callers are getting a little twitchy, calling us deluded for measuring the gap to the play off spots. Well it is on the far horizon and a very long way off, but it must be a worry as it has happened in our recent history. A little better than ordinary Blades are desperate for automatic promotion but it could be sheeite or bust because a near miss would mean facing us in a two leg semi if their nightmare came to fruition. Even worse if they slipped to fourth. I like the idea of their weighing up their chances against us at Wembley. But this is a pipe dream for us as we know but a nightmare scenario that Blunts are sitting up and worrying about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
