Nothing personal Daz (honest) but finally the evil Boro cannot each 75 points this season.

Bristol City really should get 6th still, I think they'll beat Derby at home.

Yep, despite Derby’s seemingly good position, the Achilles heel of their away form could bite hard as they’ve got to go to Brizzle then Swansea. And Swansea who remarkably could still get in.

👍🏻 You’re right when I posted my predictions 9/10 games out for the top 11, they’ve lost 3 games I said they would draw  v Bristol, SWANSEA and forest . So not that far out considering amount of games predicted, they should win last 2 and end on 73 in 6th I think, originally I said 5th.
I still go with Bristol ending on 71, and they’re on course with me predicting their next 3 to be 2 wins and a draw finishing 7th.
Then derby who from their last 10 I’ve only got 1 wrong, ending with 3 draws finishing in 8th on 70 pts, just 3 out from my original prediction

Pretty close with all games, with ourselves missing my guess by the most....but it’s +4 and we’ll all rather that

It's 433  and shoehorning Sharp into the team. I wouldn't have him in there and place SJM in a midfield 4 and then it's
a great team.

They're just the players that have got the most votes in their respective positions, they're not trying to create a well balanced side! ;)

If creating a well balanced side wasn't part of the criteria they should have just let Steve Bruce pick the team.

yes but it would have consisted of six right backs and one centre half, leaving little room for much else.

Sheffield United fully deserve their promotion.

Just an example of a manager building a club up on relatively modest budget.

Have to credit them for also bouncing back from our epic comeback in February.

Think they'll surprise a few next season as they play decent football with a formation that can be difficult to counter if things click as Wolves have shown.

Sheffield United are co-owned by a very rich Arab.  So, are loaded.  Good luck to them.

He's been there since their league one days.

They spent 4m last summer which was all on John Egan. Sold Brooks to Bournemouth for 11.5m.

Previous summer they didn't spend much either, signed loads of players from league one.

By the standards in championship these days it is a meagre budget.
