As Blades fans, we're fully aware of the upturns and pitfalls of the club since as far as we can all remember, and we know that promotion isn't ours until we have that 'P' sign next to our name.
Despite saying that, United's fortunes and hopes of gaining second place took a great turn for the good this Saturday afternoon when Danny Wilson's men overcame Leyton Orient 3:1, and our city rivals were held to a 1:1 draw at Colchester at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
Promotion to England's second tier could be confirmed next week at Stadium MK if the Blades were to beat MK Dons and Wednesday lost to a decent Carlisle side.
United's afternoon didn't start pretty when Kevin Lisbie got the better of Harry Maguire and fired into Simonsen's top-right corner.
Write United off at your peril, though. As they have proved numerous times this season, going a goal down doesn't mean Wilson's men are defeated. For the second time in the space of four days, United responded in emphatic fashion with goals from Williamson, Doyle and Evans to secure another vital three points and the Blades' sixth consecutive victory, also extending their unbeaten run to nine games.
Our city rivals, however, weren't having the greatest of times down in Essex. Colchester took the initiative just three minutes in through Ian Henderson, but Wednesday had to settle for a point when they could only respond the one time through Miguel Llera.
Just three more games remain and we can almost smell promotion, but it's not ours yet. Just that one last big step is needed in these final trio of matches.
Promotion is ours if we want it! It's in our hands!
