It's nice to be in such a stress-free situation this morning watching the other teams play.
I really don't fancy Sheff Utd at Plymouth, tough place to go.
I reckon Sheff Utd will be lucky to draw, but Weeds will win.

I expect them both to win today. Anything else would be a real bonus

Plymouth played Wednesday night in Swansea. Sheff U have an extra day rest. Think they win today.

I think Leeds win, but the potential for Blades to slip up.

Its basically **** or bust for Plymouth now, not an easy game at all.

I think Wilder at present does not know his best team, and I suspect he is not the calming influence in the dressing room-good luck to Plymouth today

We got slightly lucky at Plymouth with the new manager just coming in, as their defence was a shambles. But they're a decent home outfit and have had some good wins at Home Park this season. Let's hope they're fired up and show some fight.

Plymouth have a big injury issue in defence. Sheffield United will win about 4-0.

Far from easy for sheff utd, both have to win, won't be a normal run of the mill game, big pressures for both, and we all know what happens with pressure.
Also another big game, Watford v West brom.
Expect DL to win today though.

Come on, Preston!
Come on Plymouth!
Two P's or not two P's. That is the question.
Yes, I know. ....I'm going.

I'm just hoping Leeds early kick off jinx and Wilders negativity play a part

Last chance saloon for Plymouth. Just have to hope SU don't score early and the tension kicks in.

You have to think they are both easy games but their form has been a bit dodgy recently. A sheff united draw would be a fantastic result.

Cannon up top. First start since Feb. No goals since signing for £10m.

I can't really see beyond both LU and SU winning unfortunately.
That'd put it at LU 88 Bur 88 SU 86
Permutations then for us really depend on our game v SU
If we beat Watford then they really need to beat us you'd imagine
Frankly I can see us still needing to beat Milwall last game of the season to guarantee automatic

Don't really care what Leeds do as I'm not overly fussed about winning the league, but if we can exit the weekend with a 5 or 4 point gap over 3rd then we would have to have a monumental collapse over the last four games to not go up automatically.
Get on you Janners

I'd absolutely settle for going into that last game knowing a win guarantees promotion

Can only see one winner at Plymouth tbf...they look a team that's given up...it'll be a comfy win for Blades.

Plymouth defending well, staying in the game. Lots of changes for Sheff, Wilder rolling the dice. Created nothing in 20 mins

If I had to choose only one of Leeds and Sheffield Utd to lose today it would be the Blades.
We would then still be 5 points ahead of Sheffield Utd with just 4 games to go and they have to visit us on Easter Monday

That's what a sensible fan would say, and then anti Leeds bias kicks in.
Totally agree with you bty.

Let’s not pretend Plymouth is a tough place to go. They’re bottom of the league. Anything other than a Leeds and Sheff U win is a complete bonus.

Won once away from home all season and a few draws. Most of their points have come at home and have beaten a fair few top 10 sides. They score plenty at home, too. Not a forgone conclusion and Sheff Utd are doing nothing at all.

How at any level of football is this not a pen? He went on to drag him to the ground.

But it’s not a difficult place to go is it. It’s probably the easiest place to go in the Championship.

And a red card. Sheff Utd have benefited from so many bad ref decisions lately.

Can't believe the ref let that go.
Might have been just outside the box, but getting away with that was ridiculous.
