Hello

Realistically i didn't expect top 6. I did think top half because we had a half decent side & momentum from last season. Hence the good start.

I stand by that we need to replace those players to mount a serious promotion challenge. We could maintain our championship status with the current squad but who just wants that? i don't.

I'd also add now on reflection...Look at the players over 30 who probably wont be here in 2 years time. Sharp, Clarke, Donaldson, Stearman, Wright, Holmes, Duffy...7 players. They'll need replacing with better, younger & probably costlier. Will that happen? If He's not backed to do that then Chris will walk.

Finally....i think we've caught Leeds at a bad time for them so im convinced of a victory Saturday. No manager or confidence see's a comfortable Blades home win. Sharp, Duffy & Laffs in for Wilson, Holmes & Stevens.

The season is by no means over. I'm looking at the rest of it with a complete open mind and no expectation now...
