Preston to beat Burnley
Blades to beat Luton
Leeds to beat Sunderland

That would make us 6pts clear of Burnley & 8pts clear of Sunderland.

Than Blades to beat Leeds the following week to go top…..

Fingers crossed!!

0-0 draw, illegible players on both sides resulting in points deductions, a mass dust up with 17 red cards, a massive pitch invasion from the Leeds fans resulting in Bellend Road being closed for the rest of the season and Farke to finally have a wash...not too much to ask, is it?

Come on, really? Unbelievable, I mean, Farke having a wesh... be more believable next time!
 
Surely when 2 rivals play then logically a draw is the best result.

I’ll can enjoy this one because I can see the positives in whatever score happens.

The mischievous part of me would find it hilarious if Sunderland win because it heaps the pressure on Leeds when they play us.

Imagine Leeds losing 2 consecutive games to Sunderland and United, their fans would be in meltdown and we can all sing Leeds are falling apart again.

Personally if I could have my wish I want us and Sunderland to finish top 2.

If Leeds win then it makes it tough for them to reach top 2.
 
Watched this fixture at the SoL in 2002 when Leeds were in the CL semi finals. Alan Smith scored then got sent off. Classic northern fixture
 
Leeds will win they are the best team ever seen at this level, their fans are also the most intimidating In the UK, they are miles better than us (despite us winning same points) according to the pundits who spend games cap doffing on Leeds match days cos they're hammering a run of the mill team.

Also agree.

Kind Regards,

Cap Doffer.
 
There’s only two auto places, and four teams currently vying for them. This is the business end of the season and pressure will be an important aspect of who gets promoted. IF we beat Luton, I'm hoping for a Sunderland win - puts pressure on Burnley and also Leeds - who might start to think they have blown it again. If we lose / Draw today, then I'll be hoping Leeds win.

Wilder and the boys will be going for the championship, there has to be a winners mentality. If you settle for 2nd place then that’s all we’ll achieve at best… probably end up in the playoffs.
We have the reinforcements now as well as a very strong starting XI… there will be twists and turns as we enter the final stretch of the season. Who’s to say we won’t come out on top! ⚔️

the fact we have to win has to focus our players minds. they must know that if they bottle it and lose then top 2 is over for us this season. It's a pretty simple equation that one.

I do hope when we play them we DO NOT show them to much respect . We are at OUR BEST on the front foot so please lets play to our strengths .
 
Look at the table we’re the first team to hit 70 points - we’re top of the League. If Leeds Utd lose on Monday, we could sing that to them as their players run out.
 

0-0 draw, lots of season ending injuries, massive brawl with points deducted, earthquake, tornado, floods, shark attacks, Godzilla, Death Star blowing up Elland Road, the fucking lot.
 
Rather Sunderland win.

We’re 8 points ahead of them now. That’s a fair old improvement in trajectory.

I don’t see them catching us and if they do, then we’ve made a balls of it.

We’re currently averaging 2.18 points per game. They are averaging 1.93. Even with the points docked, to meet the trajectory they’d need 2.57 points per game. I.e. 12 wins and 2 defeats for the rest of the season or 11 wins, 3 draws and no defeats.

I’d rather have two spots to go for rather than one.

Sunderland are. now at the stage where our crass defensive displays against the likes of Plymouth and Watford have come home to haunt us.

We are now asking Leeds and Sheffield United to go from losing 7 of 66 games to losing say 10 or so from the last 26. It's no longer about what we do, it's also about relying on one of Leeds or you lads to balls it up.

Sunderland have to beat Leeds - no matter how good they are - and then stop pissing easy home games up the wall with shit defensive displays.

I'm repeating myself now but lose on Monday and we are preparing for the play offs. Top 4 becomes a top 3.
 
Surely after yesterday's results, we want Sunderland to win?
The gap to third will stay at five points plus we'll remain top hence the pressure will be on Leeds when they come to BDTBL.

Nope 100% want Leeds to win! Need to make that gap to 3rd as big as possible as quickly as possible.

Come August - no one will care who finished 1st or 2nd as we will have pocketed the same £170 million & be in the. Premier League.

But the gap to third doesn't change if Sunderland win 🤔
 
Just seen on pigs forum there's an article from Leeds site saying that any season ticket holders who have attendance less than 80% will not be able to renew for next year. They want at full capacity for remaining games
 
If Sunderland can catch us then Burnley definitely will. I’d rather a Leeds loss, they have a small squad and will hopefully tire for the last few games
 
I'm not sure getting Farke to have a wash is a realistic probability to be honest.
 
Sunderland win, they are a great team to watch most of the time and some great young players but they will slip up again and won't make up the 5 points on us even with the win.
Pressure on Farke and Leeds would be great, we know how that goes!
 

Us and Leeds to keep winning over the next 5 games… drop Burnley and Sunderland and then slug it out for the title
