There are no easy games in this division (apart from the obvious one) but I wouldn't fancy those games in a pressurised situationĀ That is part of my thought re a Sheff Utd win. I think they pose a lesser threat so a win will peg Leeds back. Though I think a daw would best suit oer a Sheff Utd win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 260 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) In conclusion, I think the most important result isĀ a City win at Rotherham! (Which Daniel Farke has also just said!) Edited March 15, 2019 by Grando 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 668 Posted March 15, 2019 Yep, can see that Cornish. Win ours and all will be well. So long as Sheffield don't win of course!Ā Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Fever 3,747 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Providing we win, whatever the Leeds / Sheffield result has only positives in it for us which-ever way you look a it. Leeds orĀ SheffieldĀ Utd fans would swap places with us in an instant in this final sprint. Ā We're ahead on the final bend on the inside track on the last bend. Keep focussed.Ā Edited March 15, 2019 by Yellow Fever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well.. only a few games ago,Ā theyād doneĀ just that: WWW vs LWW.Ā No what was said is if we are seven points clear they would have to better 3 of our results from the remaining 8 games. The run you have shown they only bettered one result.Ā If you look at the last 10 league games weāve won 8, drawn 1 and lost 1. Sheffield United have won 6 drawn 3 and lost 1.Ā It would take a capitulation of our form for them to better 3 of our results from the final 8 games.

Surfer 1,547 Posted March 15, 2019 The current form of the top ten has us as the form team over both last five games (PL5) and four games (PL4) stretch. This is what I was referring to a couple of weeks ago, that the topĀ teams often get better. It's clear that Norwich, Leeds and Sheff Utd are outpacing all the chasing teams - the pressure has clearly got to them and opened the playoff door to Villa, ForestĀ and now Preston.Ā So Preston v Leeds and Leeds v Villa won't be gimmes, nor will Preston v Sheff Utd. We just have Villa to play on the last day. Lets hope it doesn't matter by then, or maybe we'll just need a point for the Championship titleĀ and we equalize in the 94th minuteĀ š Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted March 15, 2019 I canāt seperate these 2 teams at all, thereās nothing between them really -Ā my gut feeling is that it will end up a 2-2 draw. I suppose a Leeds win would be best, but no result will bother me, IĀ just think that if we want to win the league then we must do it ourselves and prove we have deserved to win it. Rotherham for us will be a tough game in its own right. OTBCĀ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 16, 2019 Still happy with promotion for us. That would be one of the great accomplishments in football. A club with our model and last season's despair to get to theĀ Prem is astonishing. So it has to be a Leeds win to make the gap, assumingĀ a win at Rotherham, as large as it has been and not many game to go. And even a draw or loss at Rotherham wouldn't make us any worse off.

Have to agree, just put one team to bed, Sheffield to lose, then draw at home to Bristol will help, as todayās game isnāt going to be easy, Rotherham have improved recently then Boro......Iād take 3 points from those two or even a couple draws....though Iād like two wins obviously! š Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
