Is that second one actually Meslier’s fault? Only seen one angle but seems a decent shot. Don’t care either way though 😁

If you're getting beaten at ur near post from that angle, questions need to be asked.

Yes, any half decent keeper would save that. Messlers cost then massive amount of points, how many has Cooper cost us?
 
And up next.....an away trip to battling Luton, who are starting to find some form.

What could possibly go wrong?!
 

Leeds fans aren't happy. Seems like they've run out of gas with 7 to go. They can have their +304 goal difference and intensity until the full time whistle but itll be no good if their best players don't have the legs to finish the season off.
 
I’d still caveat the fact there are no easy games in the Championship.

But the remaining fixtures have us with that one Burnley fixture and no other team inside of the top ten. Average league position of the opposition drops to 15.57 after yesterday’s results.

The point here is not that we have some better fixtures, it’s that we’ve got to 83 (85*) points from 39 games despite having played a harder set of fixtures, average placing 12.54.

The other way to look at this is if we were offered to have played most of the top teams and needed to have a decent haul against 4 of the bottom 7 teams, 2 mid table teams and only one top six team, we’d have snatched your hand off.

That Burnley game looms large but there are still enough points on offer to bypass 100 points even if we took nothing from that game.

Yeah the Burnley game will loom a lot less large if we can get 12 points from the next 4!

I don’t think they will both lose! But more likely a couple of draws - so still a big incentive for to win & go 4pts clear. And then the following midweek games - Burnley are at Derby with Leeds at Boro - so I could see potential pts dropped again. So if we can win at home v Millwall we could be 6pts clear of whoever is in 3rd - before what I think will be our next fixture away at a tricky match v Plymouth.
 
I was pretty sure Leeds would push on and take the title but despite last minute winners against two promotion rivals and those big celebrations, they have been followed by poor form.

Does happen after big game wins which is why our result and performance against Coventry was so impressive, to me at least.

I have thought since their defeat to Pompey that Burnley will finish above Leeds. In other words, if a team is to drop out for us it would be Leeds, whether we can make that happen I’m just not going to predict 😂 !
 
Burnley are a bit like us in that they just seem to be able to grind out a win even if they’re not playing that well.
Leeds are very much feast or famine in terms of performance. When they’re on it they’re much easier on the eye football wise than either of us other two but they just seem to have a rick in them. I still think they’ll finish top but I do have some doubts now.

As much as I would love Leeds to crash and burn, from our own self interest I felt we needed Burnley to drop away at some point. However remarkable our points tally, still just one result away from missing the automatics. Incredible really.

Oh those bloody 2 points deducted 🫤. How much will they cost us ?
