Many who caused us problems the first time also caused us problems the second: Leeds, Middlesbrough, Cov, Hull, Sunderland, QPR. Hopefully this works out the other way too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout and hopefully correct! Obviously things change since the first game, Southampton are much better for example, whereas Blackburn maybe worse but end of the season vibes to contend with! But, I hadn’t realised how good our record was against the 9 teams we have left to play. 9 wins from 9, 24 goals for and 7 against in the reverse fixtures. Hopefully some more of that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langston Posted 9 March Share Posted 9 March Watford are a bizarre club, I know they’re very average at the moment but didn’t they give him a new contract earlier in the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners aren’t popular at all but on this one there probably won’t be many tears shedded. The fans want attacking , positive football but then the modern game is about possession isn’t it really ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when that home game agains them was the first time we'd conceded twice all season – that was game 21. We've done it 6 times in the 16 games since, it's definitely a concerning drop off however you want to carve it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds will not want the break now we will welcome it. They've had 4 matches in 9 days, they're thrilled to have the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich may disagree with you yesterday but yes, apart from Rotherham at home, you’re probably right. There seems to be very few teams who aren’t still involved in either end of the league. 4 teams so far ahead at the top and Rotherham so far back at the bottom inevitably means the middle is so tight. As the weeks pass, there will be more teams who either become safe or can’t make the playoffs and may be in beach mode I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 10 March Share Posted 10 March Off top spot going into the break is a huge mental blow for us and a huge boost for Leeds. Limping home to 2nd on the final day would be pretty crap but no doubt it'll get applauded like relegation was last season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think normally a team would get pissed and find something deep inside them but for whatever reason we have a softness in us which has been around for years.

It wouldn’t be crap no and I’d take second right now just to get back up. Even if we come straight down, we will hopefully be in a better position financially to go back up and stay up. But it would be disappointing after how we have led the league to not finish top. And to have Leeds fans crowing that they are the best team in the league after all would be grating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCJohn Posted 10 March Share Posted 10 March I see Ipswich fans are moaning at our ‘soft’ penalty yesterday with no mention of the even softer (and outside the box) one given against us a few minutes before (obviously doesn’t count as a bad decision if the penalty is subsequently missed anyway), as well as them conveniently missing the fact we had another one not given and a clear red card for Seri ignored to the point of corruption! The bias of some football fans never ceases to amaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
