Let the best 2 go up.......

Don't rule out Boro or WBA yet, still a lot of points to play for

On that showing WBA are more likely to fall out of the top 6 than stay in it.

 

[Anston Blade]

Need to win on Monday but when we do that, yes 3 horse race

 

[bertieblade]

Totally agree, Leeds looked to be back to their best tonight although they were made to look v good by a WBA team that were so far off the ball and did not seem to want it, lost all the fifty fifty balls and did not out it in.

 

[ChemEngBlade]

Leeds were outstanding tonight, the question might be whether they can do put in that sort of performance for the next 11 games. They’ll be very tough to beat for anyone. Monday night just became a must win

If ourselves and Norwich, get points over the weekend the top 3 are starting to stretch away
On the last few games showing ,
WBA’s confidence looks shot

 

[JackSUFC]

One game at a time.

Nobody is talking about Boro, their run in looks fairly comfortable and they have a game in hand.

WBA aren't ruled out yet, but they are certainly getting close to it .7 points adrift and only 11 games left. They need to hit some tremendous form for the rest of the season now.

 

[ucandomagic]

West Brom looked void of confidence right from the start - somebody must have knocked it out of them in their last game.

Who did they play?

 

[LS16Blade]

Quite. It wouldn't be beyond Pulis to achieve promotion having failed to produce a single decent performance all season. He's done it before.

All anyone hears about Boro is about how awful they are, and yet they're still hanging around like a bad smell and have very few defeats.

I get what your saying , but there 9 points behind 2nd spot with a poorer goal difference than the top 3 as well

Yes, it's our turn now, we need to do our bit to stay in touch, I can't see Norwich slipping up at Millwall

 

[robbiez666]

I think WBA may sack Moore. If they do and get someone decent in could easily go on a run. I think one of the teams in and around the playoffs will have a run as well. Forest, maybe.

 

[blade too long]

A draw puts Norwich top and we win we go top
All top 3 will be on 67 points 7 in front of WBA with 11 to go

Citing ain't it

 

[LS16Blade]

An excellent night for Leeds, no doubt, but that doesn't change the fact that for the past 2 months, they've been a wildly inconsistent team and have lost as many as they've won. With some of the tricky games that they have in their remaining 11 fixtures, I expect them to drop plenty more points.

 

[Gannon's perm]

Forest are a good shout, I think Birmingham could sneak in to that last play off spot too. Preston also are in good form and look good too.

 

[knowsnowt]

They did the job asked of them tonight. Clinically.
Gonna be tight!

 

[Guesty]

Two into one for me. Us and Norwich. Leeds are going up, no two ways about it in my mind.

We need to hold our nerve and hope theirs fails. I suspect we'll drop points this week whereas Norwich almost certainly won't. But we'll still be in the mix. What we can't do is let a potential derby defeat send us into a tailspin like what happened to Wednesday last season. For all the emphasis we put on it (and I'm as bad as anyone) there's 3 points on offer Monday night and another 30 after that.

 

[bertieblade]

Think it’s time for Mr. Ryan Leonard to step forward!

 

[LJBlade]

Earlier in the week it was “Leeds have run out of gas”, now they’re world beaters again.

We shouldn’t write anyone off yet

 

[Digger]

Good night for us Blades tonight. WBA showed a total lack of desire. How good were Leeds tonight? Unsure, they were very effective against a team going through the motions.
Those who called out the manager as a weak link take a bow.
2 from 3 now

Really? Surely your basing that on tonight’s game alone. Over the last 6-8 games they’ve been distinctly average and have the hardest run in of all.
Plenty of football to be played yet. It will change weekly. We just need to be strong and keep playing like we know we can. One things for sure. As good as Leeds were tonight we won’t roll over and die like the baggies have done when we go to Elland Rd

 

[Boxer Blade]

I bet there aren't many West brom fans thinking automatic is still on, after we beat them last week they were saying it so after that performance tonight they will be hoping to still be in the play offs.

Been distinctly average, yet tonight they sit top (albeit with a game more played). That's a good sign for Leeds, not a bad one.

Not doubting that but at the turn of the year they were in a far healthier position. Yes they sit top but to say they are going up ‘no two ways about it’ is a bit premature?
All about opinions

I don't claim infallibility, I could well be wrong!

But if I were a gambling man I'd lump on Leeds going up.

50 points check

[Corazon]

We have two games now before Leeds play again. Six points (I know, I know!!) and Leeds would kick off against Bristol City at 3pm next Saturday, three points behind us. That would be interesting.
