    The Premier League table looks like it's been simulated on FIFA.

    Just a Luton equaliser and it would be a jolly decent weekend

    At this stage we can probably say that SUFC don’t have another gear to go to. This is what they are. The question will be whether they can grind all the way to end of the season. It’s far from a certainty in my view.

    They've been like this from first game of season. No reason they won't continue

    Not sure like. They have been on a massive run and they actually have a bit of breathing space. We are a couple of wins away from the autos now unfortunately. Might have to take all 3 away from Leeds. Needs to take points directly out of our rivals pockets IMO.

    Definitely a case to be made that they could grind it out for the remainder given how far they’ve managed it to date. However with them working to fine margins virtually every week it wouldn’t take much to destabilise them. We need to do our bit in case we’re presented with an opportunity to capitalise.

    Yeah definitely. Just seem to have the momentum then. Not drawing nowt. Winning. That's our downfall IMO. Too many draws.

    Aye no chance of autos now like, and the fact Burnley don’t concede goals is already a concern for the play offs

    I expected Sheff U to win today (b*stards <laugh>) and I think most of us would have. However Burnley dropping 2 points was a bonus so we cannot complain too much.

    8 points is a really health gap. Really healthy. Especially when we don't play them again to directly hurt them.

    Congratulations to Burnley and Sheff Utd ...

    ... they managed to divert my attention from the birds on my feeder on at least three or four occasions <whistle>

    Is the fact they don't score any consolation?

    So we go play in the playoffs and go up at Wembley. We've shown that we play better against better teams. I don't fear either of Sheff Utd or Burnley if we play them. But there's still plenty of points to play for for all teams

    Burnley also haven't scored against us this season, out of the top 3 they are the team I'd be least worried about facing in the playoffs

    I do think top 2 is a reach but beat Leeds on Monday and things look totally different as Leeds and Sheff Utd then play each other
