The ninth time in eight weeks

That United and Leeds have swapped places. That's pretty impressive but no more swaps please!

 

[DifferentClass]

Yes.

I think I've aged 50 years these last two months alone!

Sadly I fear it will happen again. Hull will be very difficult on a par with WBA and Leeds, though the Albion were fading a tad when we played them.

Leeds seem better away than at home so I expect them to win at Brentford. Key really is Villa still being technically not in the play offs when they play Leeds. Still think Leeds have the advantage especially us being without Sharp and Basham. However we can hope.

I’m in no way confident, I never am. But I disagree that Leeds have the advantage. Firstly we are currently second so we have the numerical advantage. Number two I’d say on paper we have a slightly easier run in. Number three we have the slight advantage of kicking off before them for the next three.

Beat Hull and the pressure is massively on Leeds, suppose that can work both ways though as if we drop points it gives them a boost just before kick off.

Still twists and turns but definitely advantage us as it stands.

I'm bricking it, but I also think we have a slight advantage over Leeds. Despite not playing well, we've still picked up points against Brum, Millwall, Preston and Forest. In contrast, Leeds lost against QPR, Us and Wigan. They do drop points and don't seem as effective at grinding out results. I just hope this proves pivotal in nudging us over the line. It's going to be unbelievably tight and tense.

If Leeds get 6 points from Brentford and Villa then good luck to them - we simply cannot influence their results.

All we can do is try and beat Hull.

Egan defo in for Stearman, and possibly Dowell in, although for me it's the same team as Forest.

It's an ideal away team - Madine to hold it up and bring Duffy and McG in behind.

Hope we play 3421 formation and just take over midfield.

Looking forward to the game - in fact can't bloody wait.

If players can't take THIS type of pressure then they shouldn't be in the game.

3 wins from 3 considering who the opposition are is easily do-able - we just need to take 1 game at a time.

As you say it can work both ways however it is wrong that the games are not played at the same time. This would eliminate any possible advantage/ disadvantage. Just typical of the football regime that they don’t give a toss about fairness. I presume it’s done for tv reasons but at this stage of the season it should not be allowed.

I’m just enjoying the moment who thought after we beat forest that Leeds would lose at home after taking the lead against 10 Man Wigan I bet 99.9% of blades and Leeds fans expected them to be 3 points clear going into Monday’s games

Exactly. I'm just intent on trying to enjoy the weekend with the knowledge of us being in the box seat for now, which I didn't expect at this stage after last week.

I'm not one to start thinking about promotion and it's and buts when so much is still in the balance.

Monday will be tough and it could all change again, but at least we're now effectively in control of our own destiny unless Leeds go on a ridiculous scoring spree.

Bladey Inferiority Complex at its most obsequious.

Of course it is. Only in S2 would it be thought otherwise.

Could it all turn again? Yes, more than once in fact, but we presently have the advantage, beyond doubt.

Precisely so but Bladey Inferiority Complex demands that we bow the knee to the opposition. Some would find a way to say we were second favourites whatever the remaining fixtures. Time, opposition, sequence; it doesn’t matter to our spineless Jellybabies.

The Bladey conventional wisdom is that it’s really tough for us at Mighty Hull, whereas former number one cap-doffees, the titans that are Brentford, are something of a formality for Dirty Corrupt Leeds. Aston Villa? Oh, they’ll have nothing to play for. Six points for DCL for sure. No problem.

It’s the Jellybaby fans who can’t take the pressure in S2, not the team. Just pay a visit to this place any time we dare not to win a game.

We won’t need three wins. We may or may not prevail, of course. That’s football, but DCL will not win all their remaining games.

Leeds are feeling the pressure they just threw that game away. Wigan had only won one away game all season.
Wigan has a man sent off giving Leeds an 83 minute man advantage with the 7 minutes added.They miss a penalty, then yes they take the lead. After that 10 man Wigan score twice and win at Leeds in front of the horde of Orcs.
Leeds felt the pressure and they blew it out their ass big time.A classic collapse by Sky's favorites.
