The Doctor Posted 21 December 2023 Share Posted 21 December 2023 21 minutes ago, LCFCJohn said: I agree a draw is preferable. But if one has to win, it seems you’re using Southampton likely winning as justification for Leeds to win. We want them both to lose for the foreseeable! What Southampton are or aren’t doing doesn’t change what we want Leeds to do. Promotion first then title. We have only just reached halfway this weekend so wanting Leeds to lose it still the logical viewpoint. Not when they're facing Ipswich! People are honestly being disrespectful to Ipswich when they imply Leeds are the bigger threat. Ipswich have shown the ability and momentum to keep pushing us, far more so than Leeds so an Ipswich win is the last thing we want regardless of who they're playing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First or second, we go up and that’s what we all want. As big a gap as possible between us and 3rd, then we can think about winning the league. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_no7 Posted 21 December 2023 Share Posted 21 December 2023 Apologies if this has already been touched upon but ST Podcast had the Ipswich keeper ahead of Mads in team of the season so far?

Ric Flair Posted 21 December 2023 Share Posted 21 December 2023 1 hour ago, john ridley said: Think Southampton are more of a threat than Leeds. They draw far too many games. They are slowly sorting their goal difference out but Martin has a natural Flair at his teams struggling to score and/or concede a shit load.

No person in the world can build a team of the season, especially at this time. Which pundit or podcast has been able to watch every minute of every player so far this season to make a fully considered decision. It's on hearsay, clips and hype alone, and they need a mix to keep people engaged/interested/outraged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like when Fifa sets world cup all star teams, they need to bring in some who hasnt been the best, but plays one of the semifinalist. Cant see what stats they think the Ipswich keeper is better than Mads in and they must think he doesnt have to do anything standing behind Vesty and Faes 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillehamring Posted 21 December 2023 Share Posted 21 December 2023 13 hours ago, CheeseHead said: Just watched a Leeds podcast, recorded just before their game v Sunderland. They were confidently predicting that Leeds would finish as champions, with one of the them predicting a 'Maresca collapse' to 5th position. Are all Leeds fans this delusional? I really can't see west brom making up 20 points on us! the maths would be staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's based on Opta ratings - it's very tight. their guy has lead most of the season, but mads has crept ahead recently, now hladky has edged ahead but it's 6.8 vs 6.79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 22 December 2023 Share Posted 22 December 2023 (edited) I wonder how much longer Ryan Lowe will last at Preston even though they are still 9th After 6 straight wins at the start of the season since then their record is just 3 wins in 16 games Conceded a lot of goals as well Edited 22 December 2023 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
