This is all very reminiscent of our league 1 season. In November 2009, after 16 games, Leeds were top and we had 28 points having recovered from a poor start to the season.
Leeds were 8 points above us (with a game in hand). We went on to win the league by 9 points - a 17 point swing in our favour - before going on to sign 3 of their midfielders from that season.
We should sign some of their players. That Roofe looks alright!
