Bouncebackability

[Selly]

We've lost 9 games this season. Our record in the game immediately following is:

P8 W2 D5 L1

That one loss was in our second game away at Boro, however our immediate response is not generally one of immediately winning the next game. Our reaction in the next game to the three previous home losses in W1, D1, L1.

In short, we generally don`t string losses together, but we haven`t generally (away games at Reading and QPR aside) followed up a loss with a win...

If we get less than 4 points in the next two games automatic is over.

Not if Leeds do the same, or worse.

I'd take matching Leeds point for point over the next 2 (discounting WBA for now) - we then go into the Millwall game with a chance to go back second before Leeds play SWFC in the evening.

 

[Harry's Game]

We really have to at least match Leeds results over these next two games.

If we fall more than three points behind I doubt we will make that up in the games remaining.

Cliche I know but for me, our next two games really are season-defining now.

The way the fixtures fall due to TV may play a part psychologically.

After this weekend (when we both play at 3pm), the next four games see:

Leeds play before us (@Preston and @Birmingham respectively)
Us play before Leeds (vMillwall, vPigs respectively)
Us play before Leeds (vForest, vWigan respectively)
Us play before Leeds (@Hull, @Brentford respectively)

One way or another the pressure will be on the team behind to get themselves back in front/within touching distance.

 

[blade too long]

We are 2 points adrift with 21 points to play for
We are in it until we are 4 adrift with 1 game left , aren't we

The flip side of this is that IF (and its a massive IF) we can get our noses in front we can really pile on the pressure by continuing to win.

if we can earn 2 more points than leeds in last 7 be about enough, on gd
get our own back on missing the title on gd in 90

We do cos If not we are relying on Leeds to slip up twice in the last six games, Not going to happen

It will.

Report back to me in 5 weeks when one of us is wrong

It took a colossal performance by United to beat Leeds. I really can’t see them slipping up again. We wrestled the advantage away from Leeds then surrendered it all too cheaply.

Yep, although our post-international break record is dismal, we do bounce back well. Let's hope we do this once again on Saturday.
