While the West Brom and Norwich results leave us looking unlikely for the play-offs, when it comes to disappointing Sheffield United performances, multiple things can be true at once
"...the number of people blaming a singular thing for our woes and ignoring the rest has been baffling to see." Exactly so; there are numerous reasons for good or bad performances, not least of which is that the players are human and we all have "off days" or "feel good" days, don't we? Maybe that's not what supporters want to think about, but highs and lows are the essence of football supporting. I always think it would be very boring to support a Premier League team where you know the team will win just about every week . . . the "never knowing what to expect" is, for me, the joy of supporting.
Never enjoying the play-offs, I'm very content with mid table!
Brilliant analysis again, David. Thanks for putting it in perspective. For most of my Blades-supporting life, we've been a second division side. The world won't end if we stay that way a bit longer. Maybe recent success has warped our expectations. UTB. ✌️😎⚔️
Thanks, David - spot on!

Ha YES! We may not be going up (thankfully), but we are likely not going down (hopefully). The grey zone is the best place to be (probably)
You’ve put into words exactly where we are 😂⚔️
