Reply | Nerves wise how does this compare to last season?
at 19:55 3 May 2024
More stressful in terms of the points needed, less critical in terms of what it means for the club. Not going up last season might have seen McK leave and derailed the whole project.
Only needing eight points going into the last four games though was better than needing nine from three games before Leeds - QPR last week. We needed two points from the last two, mathematically it was really hard to fail - this year it's a little bit easier to do so. I'm very glad we held on for the win on Tuesday, gives us a slight insurance rather than needing a win.
Early goal for us and I think we'll be fine, the longer it stays level the nervier it will get. |

Cheers and all the best for tomorrow. I would quite like to see both you and Hull get what you need tomorrow but very unlikely to happen for both of you, more likely you'll be ok and West Bros cling on.
At least Norwich, Leeds and Russell Martin in the play-offs (should that be how it finishes) means two of them are guaranteed to lose. |

Nice one Sitters. Definitely agree on the overlapping levels of friendship amongst Town fans ranging from close friends, to those we know well enough to speak to, others merely a nod and countless more we recognise from being there game in game out.
Hopefully catch you and Robson at some point tomorrow, along with lots of others.

Honestly the hold that half-arsed joker has on some fans is ridiculous.
We had an enormous budget for the third division, signing some decent players is the least we should have expected from that. Now had he actually got a team together for more than about six weeks he might be worthy of some praise.
He did a worse job than Lambert did in 20-21 and then, after signing all those new players, went back to blaming them for not being good enough just before he was sacked.
But, yeah other than that, well done Cooky. [Post edited 3 May 14:55]

Putting that game and Leeds the next weekend together, think Sheffield United were all but up after beating us but they needed Leeds to drop points which they did the Sunday lunchtime afterwards (to Villa?). Hence Leeds came to PR in the play-offs. |

Yeah, even back at Oxford 16 months ago he didn't look like a player quite good enough for the top end of League One. Since then he has been superb and I wouldn't rule out him developing further next season (albeit he might be a little too slow). |

Massive big club favouritism from him in that Villa match, even without the harsh sending off.
Still, maybe we just need to appeal for absolutely everything as fans. |

For all that though, if the first goal for us goes in off the central defender's left bol lock I'll be quite happy. |

Yeah, the car back to London on Tuesday night was definitely not celebratory. Happy, definitely, emotionally exhausted even more so but very conscious of a job still to be done.
Peterborough last year felt very similar - in normal circumstances a very good away win but I don't think any celebrations lasted beyond the ground - although I think we allowed ourselves to relax a bit more after Barnsley. |

"The standing ovation for Billy Sharp's goal after his child had died probably enhanced our reputation with anyone with a Blades connection, too, but that's more speculative."
He was playing for Doncaster at the time. |

TBH, the vast majority of fans are well aware of that. A lifetime of (proper) football support kind of makes the worst case scenario loom large.
You are right though, loud positive support needed throughout. Hold any frustrations in and just back the team. |

Ah, thought you meant at PR. That win at Bramall Lane, fking hell I came out of that convinced we were going up - and here we are 19 years later..... |
