The difference between the Sheffield United who deservedly got promoted in 2019 and the one that took second place almost by default last season is pretty stark, and the reasons for that largely come down to poor decisions made off the pitch. Luton may get relegated but they've not stunk the place out like Sheffield United have.
Liew's wider point on the financial imbalance making the Premier League more sh1t with every passing year I agree with and it would be better for everyone else if the top six or seven clubs did just feck off to their superleague with no relegation and see if the wider footballing-public give as much of a sh1t about it as a competitive national division.
He never got back to form after his injury but it was also clear that he wasn't capable of playing the hold-up role at this level.
I still think that Ladapo in half-decent form, let alone playing like a year ago, probably scores from the really good chance against QPR but we clearly wanted better in the Summer and out failure to do that was disappointing.
When we played Leeds back in August, I thought they were really good going forwards but dodgy at the back. For much of the season they tightened that up and were pretty formidable for long periods.
Last night they were back to the early season chaos at the back and a more competent defensive side would probably have got a draw against them.
I think that's perhaps as big a failure as Watford and Boro at home. At the minimum that additional striker gives us a win from either QPR or Stoke IMO.
Moore playing two hours for Wales was bad for us too, he's been fecked since.
I think we've got so close that it would be really disappointing not to go up now.
It is less critical to the club's future development than promotion last season was or as damaging as staggering in third in 2004-05 turned out to be but it will still hurt.
I can’t help thinking that this match at Elland Road would have been better for us, more pressure on Leeds and Boro look better sitting back a bit and breaking.
Equally, had Sarmiento made it 2-1 last Saturday then we could have just hit them on the break too.
