Will Sheffield United get more than Derby County's 11 points?

Bogle's a great name though, no team deserves to be relegated fielding a player called Bogle.

Jayden Bogle though - not as good a name as Omar Bogle who plays for Doncaster.

Ten points from safety.

A remarakble comeback so far, let's see what happens next.

Is this a world where 21 points will keep you up now? Add another 15 at best.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Obvs it's ten points to catchup before matching the 17th place team for the remainder of the season but that's not as snappy

 

[Argonia]

Yes see what you mean butchers, I just meant they are currently 11 points from safety, not the total number of points at the end of the season. They are going to need spectacular form to survive but who knows?

 

[butchersapron]

Look at the points not the teams around you. Have a dream.

could well be done on less than 30, although it is looking like there'll be a big gap between 17 & 18

 

[butchersapron]

Could be the worst bottom three ever.

Out of interest what is the lowest points tally any 18th team has got in Premier League history? Could be challenged this year.

West Brom, 34 in 05/05

Derby's record is intact

The fightback is on!

Always makes me smile when Fleck is mentioned as that was the name of my first dog.

Poor old Wilder.

Getting promoted to the Premier League is about the worst thing you can do as a manager isn't it. Guaranteed sacking on the way as soon as things don't go well. Still I'm sure he'll get a nice big payoff at least.

 

[Badgers]

The EPL is brutal. After all he has done for the club under his tenure.

 

[The Octagon]

United's season is the only thing giving me joy, they better not turn it around now Wilder's gone

 

[technical]

Even as a Wednesdayite, I find this staggering. I thought we had the monopoly on bonkers decisions by an owner of a Sheffield football club.

Having said that, the stupid money spent on two strikers who don’t score goals has probably counted against him. Could well be the start of a downward spiral

 

[Sprocket.]

Feel sorry for Wilder, Knill and the coaching staff. As stated above getting promoted to the Premiership is one of the riskiest times in a manager’s career. No prisoners there.

Having said that, the stupid money spent on two strikers who don’t score goals has probably counted against him.

That tends to be the trap for the newly promoted teams doesn't it. Fact is strikers who can be relied on to score plenty of goals at that level are in short supply, very expensive, and not about to sign for a newly promoted team. So they stretch to the limit on what they can afford and get someone who doesn't quite cut it.

Yet oddly those who stick with a manager after relegation can often bounce straight back. Dyche and Burnley spring immediately to mind, and Farke and Norwich are walking the Championship this year.

 

[Argonia]

Should have stuck with Wilder

 

[Argonia]

Glad I didn't spunk a fiver on Sheff U to win the cup

 

[two sheds]

Think how much you could have won though

 

[The Octagon]

Despite being a Wednesdayite, the current United interim boss is someone I grew up with (same street), so I was almost willing them on at times today.

I feel dirty.

 

[Argonia]

They had Michael Pailn doing a piece for United today in the buildup to the Chelsea game but I thought he was Wednesday - anybody know?

Both, but mainly Utd.
