    My wife and I lived in Sheffield for four years (1974 - 1978) and thought it was a great place - friendly people, good pubs (especially the Springvale Tavern) and lovely countryside all around,
    We used to go to Watford away matches at placed like Halifax and Barnsley. Sometimes we would meet up with Johnny Todd Sings. Nothing but good memories, but I still hope we hammer them.

    Great preview.

    wondering what Buxton did wrong to be so deliberately cut out of the Peak District.

    Probably connected to the extensive limestone quarrying around Buxton.......

    Re players who've played for us and Sheffield, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Danny Webber

    I don't know why but whenever I see Enda Stevens name I read it is Edna Stevens.

    Anyway, unsure which way this will go but Billy Sharp is bound to score against us.

    Our paths almost passed, Bunny, I came to Sheffield in January 1978. I lived on Commonside for a while, and the Springvale Tavern was indeed a great boozer, although I gravitated more towards the Hallamshire House...

    You mentioned in one of your previous posts that you used to meet a couple from Sheffield at away games - I think that was me and Mrs Larkin. The bloke I'm thinking of went to Keele Uni - was that you?

    People were saying a month ago about us about to have a really tough run of games, but looking back, thats not really true.?
    Our bunch have proven for years now that we ay our best against "decent footballing teams" but we tend to crash and burn against the (technically) poorer teams. Millwall did the double on us, we nearly did the double on Burnley.
    This is the watford way. It also proves that one of our biggest faults is "we don't like it up us Mr Mainwaring.!"
    We just don't do "battle" or tough stuff...
    Wouldn't surprise me if we got a draw on Saturday..... 0-3 at HT, 4-4.
    Oh OK, so 0-0...

    Next month we have a nice batch of fixtures, three of which are at home. QPR away is always a tricky fixture for us. All three of those sides we face at home are struggling for form. It's not beyond us to come out of March with 12 out of 12 points. But, that is my biggest concern. We need to start turning up against the 'smaller' clubs in the division. Some of our worst performances have been against sides we (on paper) are expected to beat. Mentality is key, not only for Saturday but March for me anyway, will probably determine if we finish sixth or above, or top half afloat of the playoffs. Nobody really "fears" playing us, because Bilic has no system. He's running out of time to find one, and the players' themselves are running out of games to prevent costly errors that have happened far to often this season.

    To be fair, I'm not sure Steve Kabba actually ever played for us.

    I remember he won a late penalty for us on the opening day of the season .

    Well the ball bobbled off him and a Wolves defender fouled him .

    To save scrolling through hours of footage , it’s also on the Steve Kabba highlights , near the end at about 14 seconds in .

    I'm taking the rattler up to Sheffield and I'm really optimistic that we're going to turn them over, so put your mortgage on an emphatic home win
