Hucks6 169 Posted April 14, 2019 Are Leeds/ Sheffield going to win all their games don’t think so.We will go up otbc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted April 14, 2019 Leeds in particular have a few nasties in there - Brentford away and Villa at home - but we’ve seen over recent weeks that at this stage in the season there are few gimmes....when you’re playing sides in danger it’s easy to drop points (as we’ve all done) as they are fighting for survival.

Unthink road 132 Posted April 14, 2019 No easy games, as we have found out in the last two fixtures. Worry about our own destiny, if others fail ideal. We are in pole position, with arguably our best player to return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin Bryant 0 Posted April 14, 2019 I get the feeling one more win will be enough... in the perfect world Sheff utd will slip up in their early kick off next game and we can all relax a bit!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 260 Posted April 14, 2019 Leeds also have Wigan next. And while Wigan aren't the same prospect away from home, they certainly were no mugs today. They do still needs point, fortunately, so will give it a decent go. The key for them if they are to get anything at Elland Road will be not falling behind, I suspect. In the scheme of things a point was a decent result for us today. But we do need to improve, which I think will mean changing the side on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brentford away could be a test, but I can't see Villa being a problem. They play Bolton next which should just about wrap up a play off position, so potentially no motivation to beat Leeds. If you were Villa, would you rather face Leeds or Sheff Utd in the playoffs? I think probably Sheff Utd - beating Leeds potentially makes the play offs harder. Interestingly , I wonder whether they'd rather finish sixth and avoid a two legged derby against WBA? Being a bit defeatist here, which is a little unjust to Farke and the team, but I think Leeds will win the League. The fact they play Ipswich on the last day cements it for me.

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted April 14, 2019 Not sure I agree, but if Villa do ease off, we should also benefit in our final game. There’s certainly something to be said for them resting any players carrying a knock once they secure their place but I can’t see any side being happy to lose to play a supposed ‘easier’ side in the playoffs. Tbh I’m more bothered about securing promotion than winning the title, but the latter would clearly be a ‘nice to have’. But whatever, we are still best placed for both.

smooth 114 Posted April 14, 2019 Sorry but reading and Wigan should not have resulted in 2 points. Yes after the first half performances they are at least a bit of a return. But we now need performances that warrant being 1st in the table. Buendia cannot come back quick enough but new players in our lacklustre midfield.
