1. Are you satisfied with a 4th placed finish considering what happened last season?
No. However, after everything that has happened this year, it's great that we still have a chance to get promoted
2. Where did your automatic promotion chances go wrong?
We have drawn too many games from winning positions. Team confidence, Lee Clark's negative tactics and the overshadowing "unbeaten run" all potentially had a hand in this.
That said, the main stumbling block this season has been an inability to form a solid and reliable "core" to the team. For the first 2/3rd of the season this was due to having a very weak central midfield and inconsistent centre backs. Fortunately, since Sean Morrison has come in and struck a partnership with Peter Clarke, we seem to have that bit of the team cracked. On top of that, in the last 3-4 games, Johnson and Miller have put in great performances in the middle. We're starting to look really solid now, just when we really needed it!
3. Are you pleased with how things have gone under Simon Grayson, or do you believe automatic promotion was realistic under Lee Clark?
Lee Clark's heart was in the right place, but he doesn't have the experience or the temper to cope when things get tough - proven by the way that he let his relationship with the local media completely fall apart near the end of his tenure.
I strongly believe that Dean Hoyle (our chairman) resigned himself to the play-offs after you beat us 1-0 at our place, and he didn't have the faith that Lee Clark would be able to negotiate another final push. That's why he made the decision that he did, and I honestly agree with his call.
4. Apart from the obvious Jordan Rhodes, who should we look out for at the weekend?
Jack Hunt is deadly on the flanks.
Danny Ward can cut inside and really test you from the edge of the box.
Kallum Higginbottom is a real livewire and will test the rigidity of your back four.
Lee Novak creates space for all other around him, and can score a goal or too himself.
5. What do you make of the Blades this season?
Looked good up until Evans got sent down, then the wheels seem to have fallen off. We know how hard it is to narrowly miss out on auto promotion, then have to go through the play-offs (last year was horrible).
6. Who would you class as our main threat?
I don't actually know much about your team, however, only scoring 1 goal against Stevenage over 180minutes suggests that you lack bite. I would guess that you're best hope is to try and domi9nate the middle of the park, but with Johnson and Miller peaking in form at the moment, I think you will struggle
7. Score prediction?
2-0 Town
Rhodes 40, Higginbottom 65
-----------------------
1. Are you satisfied with a 4th placed finish considering what happened last season?
Got nothing to do with last year but no, we should have annihilated this division with the investment we've had in the last three years
2. Where did your automatic promotion chances go wrong?
Pre-season. We didn't sign a decent midfielder.
3. Are you pleased with how things have gone under Simon Grayson, or do you believe automatic promotion was realistic under Lee Clark?
Mixed feelings, he still failed to sign a decent midfielder and was ultimately left with the dross LC signed.
4. Apart from the obvious Jordan Rhodes, who should we look out for at the weekend?
Terry the Terrier, can you confirm if it's a dog or a fox.
5. What do you make of the Blades this season?
Think you've pretty poor to finish below an average Wednesday side.
6. Who would you class as our main threat?
Quinn
7. Score prediction?
If Rhodes scores we win, if you keep him off the scoresheet, you'll sneak it 1-0, it's that simple. If I'm been honest, I think we'll not be at our best but I have a sneaky suspicion we'll nick it.
