Nobody has got close to beating us at ER this season. For what it’s worth I doubt we beat you at one of the best U2 gigs I’ve ever been to - Elland Road. Be a close game again I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen in football, and it doesn't always go as expected. Good thing too, or it'd be boring. But - Even if they win all their remaining games (very big if) we still need a drop in form for them to catch us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February Can see Southampton dropping points again Friday night. Bad time for them to start dropping any now. Plymouth could give Leeds a good game just need to try keep it tight for the first 30 mins or so. If somehow both drop points this weekend and we get 3 again would make it very comfortable even with the Southampton and leeds games coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxin_Mad Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February Simple solution if you are unlucky at betting lump on Leeds to win the next few games as an acca, should solve it! You can thank me for Southamptons defeat last night 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxmeister Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February Southampton have still got to play 9 of the current top half, Us 8, Leeds and Ipswich both 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February 2 hours ago, Deeg67 said: Leeds and Southampton don’t give a toss about us. Avoiding the playoffs is everything. Southampton will be huge Leicester fans next week. WBA is dangerous team for whoever slips back into 3rd-4th. Very hard to break down, play well against the top sides. Think I agree on WBA. I think if they face Ipswich in the semis they'll knock them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February Yet I thought West Brom were the poorest of the top sides we’ve played this season. Also Leeds aren’t winning every game until the end of the season. Not even your Man City’s and peak era Barcelona could win that many consecutive games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston. Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February I doubt Leeds(players/coaching staff/fans) realistically expect to catch us. Someone do the maths but we only need to match their results for several more games??? It's working out nicely as leeds/Southampton/Ipswich etc can toss each other off for runners up while we remain untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vazman Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February (edited) 4 hours ago, Leicester_Loyal said: Yep, Leeds probably need to win 13 out of 14 games and that includes beating us in order to overtake us IMO, and that's only if we tail off. If we beat Boro and avoid defeat at Elland Road, I think it's done. I don't see them winning enough games nor us failing to win enough in order to make it happen. Mate everyone is entitled to an opinion, and i respect it, but really, Leeds have far more to worry about than catching up with us, we would need to royally screw up, Ipswich have 2 games in hand and Southampton 1 game in hand if Ipswich win both there in hand matches they're level on points Southampton win there game in hand there level on points with Leeds, personally I think Leicester and Ipswich will be 1 and 2, Leeds 3rd with Southampton, and that will be down to the last match of the season who gets 3rd doesn't matter play offs lume large Edited 14 February by Vazman Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your logic, I just think they'll have a stronger run in, Southampton Fitness is waning, I just think Leeds will drop a vital match, hopefully against us hence my prediction, I will probably be wrong lol...

Pub breath Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February 1 hour ago, Tommy Fresh said: Didn't Cardiff almost beat you opening day 25 attempts vs 7. 72% vs 28%. It was the most ridiculous game but yeah, took a last minute equaliser to save defeat. I guess on that alone, they did come close so i'll temper that ealier comment. It wasnt because they deserved to mind. Shows you what can occasionally happen in football but it should have been a comfortable win. Club was in a mess then too. It's a completely different vibe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 14 February Share Posted 14 February Leeds could well be the best side in the division. We might only be ahead of Leeds at this point because we started better Leeds might beat us at Elland Road. I wouldn’t be at all surprised on their own ground. The point is I couldn’t really care less about any of the above (except I’d obviously like to beat them). The only thing I care about is that we’re currently 12 points ahead of them. If we go up and they don’t, nobody will care or remember how good they were - and it will be the same if it’s the other way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where we will come unstuck there. As in the reverse fixture. For us, its just another game. For Leeds it's a must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
