I know it’s early and to be fair I wanted to just get opinion on how he will approach this game (but no point having multiple threads on same game…..)
We’ve seen Warnock effectively ‘throw’ a game against a far superior side. Will he do that next week or go for it, but with risk of players getting injured / tired for Reading?
How will he approach it? Cup final for me - throw everything at them and get a result.
However, if that backfires……not ideal
But don’t go for it and they could knacker our goal difference…..

Dont think throwing the game will be in his mind, not with whats at stake.

Keeping the lads fit and the score line reasonable will be priorities I would imagine…..but maybe he might fancy it!?!? Who knows! |

If Blades/Reading both beat us by 1 goal, we'd end up all square with the Royals. |

Got to question how arsed Sheff Utd are for this, promoted, cant win the league, would they want to hamper their hero’s chance of survival?

I also think the guy is forgetting that if a team score against you their GD increases by one and yours decreases by one . |

Let's hope we can take something on Thursday night to avoid last minute drama! Goal difference doesn’t come into it now as regards Reading Currently Town -18, Reading -20 but they’ve scored more. If we avoid defeat Thursday it doesn’t go to the last day. A single goal defeat takes us to -19 and onto the last day. Avoid defeat against Reading, it doesn’t go to goal difference. Any single goal Reading win takes us to -20 and them to -19. No combination of scores will relegate Town on GD. It’s all down to points. If we get 1 or more we can’t go down, but 0 means we will. If Rotherham were to lose the last 2, we’re safe now. Think that’s right 🤣 |

It would be typical town to somehow f*** things up from the great position we've got ourselves into... but I think we'll get the point we need on Thursday night, a 1-1 draw with the whole ground singing "Yorkshire! Yorkshire!"

Never understood the obsession with goal difference, when have we ever been relegated on goal difference?

I can’t help thinking the goal that wasn’t a goal could have seen us safe as houses now. It’s still going to be tense but I’d much rather be in our current situation than being in Reading’s right now.

Of course we can go down on goal difference. If we drop from here it can only be on goal difference. Reading are 3 behind us with 1 to play

Bottom line... we need 1 point from either of these 2 games.
I suspect he will try and "shithouse" Utd with a backs to the wall try and score on the break performance, and if we don't get a point from that, approach the Reading game similar to today.
