Royals v Blades: Head to head
With ten man Bongo beating Wolves last night the picture looks bleak for automatic promotion for the Royals. Small crumbs of comfort might be on offer when we look at our record against Sheffield United in recent years, ahead of our televised Good Friday clash against the Blades. In 13 games stretching back to 2002/2003 (including one League Cup encounter) we have lost just once. It's quite a record, especially when you consider that includes nine victories. We're desperately clutching at straws I know, but maybe we've got a hoodoo over them. Let's just ignore the fact for now that they've won nine times since Christmas and have posted five victories out of the last seven games! This is clearly a huge game for both teams, and we've got to find a performance with the right result to match or the 'promotion decider' against Bongo in May is a dead rubber.

We can still go up automatically if we win all the remaining games.....I think there's more chance of a 100-1 horse winning the national......come to think about it......
With Blades winning last night the pressure is mounting. Can't remember the last time we were 4th - September?! The odds are lengthening on an automatic spot... I might have a punt - you never know, we might score a goal at home! Well, we probably do know...
Keep the faith - it's a funny old game (in my best Jimmy Greaves accent!!!)
