Whos that? Because Ipswich were second 3 points behind at the start of play today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in the top division? That's the aim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 Winning any league is classed as a major honour/trophy. Why would anyone not see this as the main ambition this season?🤷🏻♂️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakemoore Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 It’s a good thing Leeds will just randomly lose to a Huddersfield or QPR because if they played like this 90% of the time we would have to really worry about them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds dropping points would be beneficial to us. Let's secure top 2 and worry about coming first afterwards. Winning the league has literally no extra benefits over coming second. I don't understand this attitude. It literally wins us silverware and a record eighth second tier title. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 So should be going into boxing day looking to maintain a 13 point gap on Leeds and extend to a 9 point gap on Ipswich. This is brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetstonefox Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 Main goal is promotion, achieve that you then aim for the title. The way it’s going we are well on course to get both. If you’d offered 2nd in July you’d have taken it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on Earth would that even need to be said, it’s the aim of every single team. The most important thing is to ensure we are promoted, not finish first or we stay in this league and try again.

Why would anyone not see this as the main ambition this season?🤷🏻♂️ The main objective is promotion, once thats mathematically done, then top spot if achievable is second aim in my opinion. clearly Leeds winning is the worst out of 3 possible results, but we have a nice buffer so its not the end of the world, we just keep doing our own job and keep the gap. we will likely back off once top 2 is locked in, not worth risking injuries etc. for it will be the mentality from manager I expect.
