And then there was 3

[west_yorks_blade]

We'll beat Leeds.

Ok Great.

 

[silver blade]

To me to you

No we don’t...

If we both win in the week and they beat us next Saturday they are 5 in front with 24 to play for.

If it was the other way round would you be celebrating promotion?

My pig of a brother in law says they are going to loose at Leeds just to upset us

 

[Kenilworth]

Tickets on the shelf in my lounge, walking distance from home, bring it on!!!

Mine there too?
Planning to be in Sheff on Tuesday.
Will you be?

 

[SwissBlade]

For what it’s worth, I don’t quite think it’s quite down to 3 just yet...

I think Brentford may have a say in it. Beaten Boro today, could be a tough one for us in midweek and then they’re home to WBA on Saturday

Screw loose?

 

[cahill]

Hope you’re right. I watched their second half against brizzle and they looked very handy.

Plus they are spozzy bastards. Just look at the result at our place this season.

But they've been shit really. Two good results lately and good luck to them. However, they spawned a result at the Lane whereas West Brom outplayed us. We've done West Brom we're on a roll. They'd previously lost 5 out of 10, we've recruited well in January. They'll be cock a hoop with their last two wins and over confident. Fear not, this is our year

WBA sack Moore.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

WBA sack Moore.

Oh shit, not another Wilder's off thread coming.

 

[cahill]

Leeds appear extremely resilient. Vital we don’t concede the first goal.

Résilient last two games but before that ?

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Gosh, discussing Leeds before we have played Brentford.

They are above us in the latest form table !

Brentford are a very dangerous team at the moment - forget Leeds while after Brentford.

They’ve shown it in games scattered throughout the season. You can’t argue though with 4-0 vs West Brom at home and a 1-0 away at Bristol City. We lost both. They’re hitting their stride at the right time despite everyone doubting them, unfortunately for us.

But we won at West Brom, they got hammered, they lost at QPR last week who'd lost 7 in a row !

Fear not. Come back to me next week after we've done 'em

 

[Kenilworth]

Follow you follow me

 

[grafikhaus]

We need to win next Saturday.

Nope. When we lost 4-0 at Leeds in 1990 (with only four games left) it all seemed over, but we scraped out a home win against Port Vale(!) and it was game back on. Still plenty of points left to play for.

As someone pointed out on another thread, 30 points to play for. Anyone in the top 8 could go on a run.

As said Hull, Birmingham, Bristol City etc. This is how it works. Fans go on about 'mathematical possibilities' but we've put in the hard yards by being consistent all season and the chasing pack have no wriggle room, plus they all have to play each other.

 

[8lade]

As an aside, it looks like we derailed Wednesday's promotion push

 

[BigBed]

Results below went our way today.

 

[8lade]

Also we're mathematically clear of relegation!

Ahhh, so that's why they're going to lose
I thought they'd lose at Leeds because they're shit

 

[Fanny magnet]

Both sides have got some really tough games ,whoever goes up will deserve it

Personally think there is less pressure on us

Just curious as how you’ve determined we’ve been shit lately. Is that through just looking at our results? Because if it is there isn’t much context. We have been patchy since Xmas but that wasn’t down to us not playing well. We’ve dominated & created chances in everyone of those games, problem was we haven’t been clinical enough taking 3/4 chances to score one or none at all, & then been caught once at the back, take QPR for example we should have been 2/3 up at half time. We didn’t take our chances & let a sloppy goal. But I would agree the 2nd half performance was the worst of the season. Maybe take the 2nd half of the Norwich game also. In every other game we’ve never been out of it.

The only time we’ve given up possession this season is against yourselves. But being at being at home next week I Don’t see it being that case again.

Just put it out there, I would prefer it to be both you & Leeds that get promoted over Norwich who are an insignificant team in my eyes.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Shows how reliant on Harvey Barnes they were
I think only one of the top three can win the title.
West Brom could maybe still pinch second place if they get their act together and us and Leeds drop points, but Middlesbrough are only going to finish play offs at best.

What a bastard of a run in we've got, it seems like everyone we've got to play is gunning for the play offs. Preston, Bristol, Forest, Birmingham, even Hull and Brentford could sneak into play off contention
Not too mention the trip to Leeds next week

I feel sorry for all these teams. They`ve all got to play SHEFFIELD UNITED !!

 

[1066blade]

Avoid defeat next Satdi, we will get top 2.

UTB

We won't. Top 3 will stay,as it is till end of season, we'll do what we always do int playoffs,l

Yep, swings and roundabouts in the Championship. I just don’t think Leeds will fold, I think they’ll finish stronger and we won’t catch them. Feel free to feed back to me if that prediction comes true.

Means they won't be parking the bus and we can play through them . Be much easier than playing those fighting for their lives playing 10 at the back. Hull got thumped today by the time we play them it'll be over for them . Our run in is no worse than any other. Norwich were not convincing v Swansea so it's not going to be easy for them . Bristol City are falling apart lost 4 recently

Can we go out for beer and birds sometime soon ?

On 2nd thoughts .............

[Gin&Juice]

I’m the same and I’ve made sure I’m working it so I have no choice

I have no desire to watch us in a play off final again

I'm the same. I'm not even an out-doors person, but if we ever get to another one. I'm spending the afternoon wandering around the Peaks with no distraction, no phone etc but might take a map in case I actually get lost!

 

[Tezza1889]

One game at a time, let’s keep in touch....

Many twists and turns to come ....

 

[Pinchy]

Yes we do

We really don’t.
