I predict a riot ....

[FTPE]

Boro 1-1 Norwich
Leeds 2-1 Millwall
Blades 2-0 Bristol City

That's pretty much what I was going to go for, but I can see Norwich nicking it late.

All 3 get a win then for me.

I’m going to have a few quid on the treble. Get rich quick.

I have a feeling that their ‘flag’ day will be against us.

By all accounts they might not bother with an official flag day due to the cup exploits, make of that what you will

That’s the rumour. Apparently the scousers brought it on themselves. A coach load picked on a small group of Millwall fans then the cavalry arrived. A proper oh fuck moment I believe.

They’ll turn up at the lane this season after all the trouble between the two sets of fans over recent seasons.

My prediction

Boro 1 Norwich 1, fairly confident NC won’t win and wouldn’t suprise me if NC lose.
Leeds 2 Millwall 0, although Millwall are a bit of a bogie side for Leeds, fairly confident Leeds will win.
Blades 1 Bristol C 1, just have a feeling we won’t win but if we do it will be 1-0 and very tight/ nervy.

hope you are right with the Boro result - for certain, their recent poor results means the pack has not only caught 6th, but 5th too, so they have to start picking up points to maintain a PO place.

Lets hope they turn Norwich over - the prat with the "champions 2019" tattoo will start to shit a few bricks

Im a new kid in town, so hello all. My prediction:

Leeds 2-2 Millwall
Blades 3-0 Bristol City
Boro 3-2 Norwich

 

[spongebobblade]

I think City will beat Fulham 0-4 tomorrow and Liverpool and Spurs will draw when they play each other on Sunday!

Luton and Barnsley will both win.

Lincoln, Bury and MK Dobs will all win.

You’d better be right now

 

[Worksop II]

Ryan Leonard becomes a Blade tomorrow ......

 

[coolhandluke]

Leeds 2-1 Millwall
Blades 1-1 Bristol City
Boro 1-3 Norwich

Same except Blades 1 Brizzle 2

 

[spongebobblade]

And Luton to win??

Off course. I’m having them in this weeks last man standing again..... and probably next weeks as well!

 

[LS16Blade]

Don't write off WBA , still 8 games left.

I agree. I expect WBA to beat Birmingham tonight which will put some heat on the top 3.

Millwall generally 'turn up' in games against Leeds and treat it like a cup tie which would be good given how they have performed in cup games.

Middlesbrough desperately need a result and the fact that they are playing the league leaders might just relieve some of the pressure that they usually feel when playing at the Riverside. Pulis has had a fortnight to prepare the plans for an ugly 1-0.

As others have mentioned, we've shown a propensity to have a bad result immediately after having done the hard grind to get into the top two, and that's a concern. I've little doubt that we'll be the better team but that hasn't always been enough to get the result against Bristol City.

Well according to my girlfriend she usually is!

When you're in the top three your bad results will inevitably have come after a good run. It's not a pattern to worry about, it's an inevitability of being near the top of the table and not undefeated.

Welcome !

I'd take that

 

[LS16Blade]

When you're in the top three your bad results will inevitably have come after a good run. It's not a pattern to worry about, it's an inevitability of being near the top of the table and not undefeated.

The pattern to be concerned about is that this season we first made our way to the top of the league with a run of wins culminating in the home win over Hull, and promptly lost the next game at Derby (and then drew with Stoke).

We then climbed back into pole position a few weeks later with the win over Wigan and immediately lost at Forest (before drawing with the Pigs and Rotherham).

It then took 2 months to clamber back into the top 2 having fallen as 'low' as sixth. We got back into the top 2 by beating QPR and then proceeded to lose the next game at Swansea to slip back again.

Some sides ride the momentum of hitting the front - as we did in a League 1 in spectacular fashion. Hopefully, we will be able to cement our place in the top 2 this time.

 

[blademark]

Could be blind optimism but I'm seeing a mental toughness, steely character, game management and level of quiet confidence that I haven't seen in a long long time. It wouldn't shock me if we remained undefeated, or even won all our remaining games. I'm here to be shot down, but it's how I feel.

 

[BigBed]

To match or better Leeds is all that matters, but if we can better Norwich at the same time, that would be magic.

 

[mattbianco1]

Knew 1 of us would drop this week. Typically, it was us

Made worse by Leeds losing 2-1 after seventy odd mins and winning 3-2 same for WBA last night and then something only we could do be winning 2-1 after 70 odd and losing 3-2. Fully expect Norwich to beat Boro after losing 2-1 after 70 mins
