Below are five questions we asked them regarding all things Burnley and Blades. We would like to thank them for their mass responses, further below are just some of their replies:

The questions we asked were:

1. Are your hopes high on gaining promotion to the top flight?

2. What do you think Sheffield United's chances of promotion are?

3. Which Burnley player will we have to watch out for when we face you next Monday?

4. Who do you believe United's main threat is?

5. And finally, a score prediction.

Theflyingfrog said:

1. Yes, pretty high. Automatic looks unlikely, but we seem to be going to the play-off lottery. We know it's anybody's chance then, but with the heartbreak we had in the League Cup this season, we feel we will make it to Wembley.

2. You've got a chance of automatic, though think Birmingham will pip you to the post. If that happens, I think it may mean a poor play-off showing, given the disappointment.

3. Robbie Blake is undoubtedly the main man for us.

4. Interestingly, for a team doing so well, there's not really one player in your side who I think stands out. The team obviously works well together, and it's that which is the main threat.

5. I think our style of play will overcome the awful tactics of Blackwell, and we will complete the double - 3-1 to Burnley.

Padiham_Road commented:

1. Highest they have ever been in my opinion, we are in fantastic form at the moment.

2. I believe you will go up automatically with Wolves, you are coming with a run at the right time.

3. Robbie Blake, there is a few but if Blake pulls the strings like he can it is going to be one hell of a game.

4. Cotterill, anytime I have seen him, he looks a great player.

5. 2-1 Burnley, but only just.

Claretandbluedom replied:

1. If we play the way we have been doing and we manage to keep the squad fit then I fancy our chances.

2. Think you will finish 2nd, but if you finish outside the top 2 then via the play-offs i think you will fall short.

3. Robbie Blake.

4. David Cotterill.

5. Stop your good run I think. 2-1 win.

1. No point getting to this stage of the season with no hope at all. We all have high hopes and I'm just praying we can have a crack at it.

2. I think you're probably going to pip Birmingham City to the post, so long as they beat Swansea (which helps us out!)

3. If he is on form, like he was at Bramall Lane, then it has to be Chris Eagles, but Robbie Blake is in the form of his life at the moment, so either of the two...but there is more to us than two individuals.

4. Possibly Henderson if he plays because we don't like bullies, but from what I have seen recently, Cotterill looks a very tidy player.

5. Burnley 1-1 Sheffield United.

1. Yes.

2. Very Strong.

3. Chris Eagles.

4. Darius Henderson.

5. 1-1, Blake for us and Morgan for you.
