Clearly there to be got at but they are much better at home than away and the worry is that they’ll be ready to atone for this come Tuesday. Probably the worst way this game could go for us. Either will be shattered confidence against us or lessons learned. We might be best off with a 4+ goal ipswich defeat now I think.

Dream scenario is to start fast against them and get a goal, because you can tell they know this is the most important part of their season. The lads stepped up fantastically away to Southampton so I think Enzo will drill it into them to start quickly. I gave Ipswich some respect earlier, but totally agree that mentally they have fallen apart big time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 I dont see a downside to Leeds winning this. We could be going into the Ipswich game with a 6 point cushion which is fantastic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press the bejesus out of their back line and Morsey and you'll have joy. Leif Davis must have had the worst half of his career! They are very happy with "Agent Davis" over on the Leeds forum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be less than 2 years to say something like this There's a difference between being in a good position to finish top 4 in the prem with brendan Rodgers as your manager and losing out at the end (an absolute certainty really) than losing automatic promotion from this position against vastly inferior sides. As much as people on here like to wet the bed over every team in championship essentially being the best thing since we'll.... us. We far and away the best team this league has ever had grace it.

TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 I really just don't see the fuss with Ipswich at all. Just a reasonable side that's punching above their weight but put them up against much better players that us and Leeds have and they simply can't handle it. They struggle against pace and directness. and with our wingers we will exploit them all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day was always going to be a dicey fixture, whatever happens, but you’re right. Most of their fans seem content to split the 2 games against us and Leeds, so we now have to ensure that we don’t become the credit side of the split.

The aim should be too come top no matter what, if we come second as a result of wanting to win so be it, but top is and should be the main aim, otherwise whats the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively, you could come 6th and lift a trophy for winning the play-offs, but get nothing for achieving automatic promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 You enter competitions with the aim of winning them. Anything else is everyone wins a prize day at primary school. Content with second as an ambition? Risible 😂 Second place can fvck off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
