Up until last 2 games they were on a better run of consistency in terms of results, in their performances (after they got their act together from that poor start).

So eliminate all of the games where they were shit from the argument yet focus on the two in a row we lost? Sounds about right

Didnt watch that game. 

 

But they are definitely an extremely strong team on the games I have watched, and are a danger to our position until its mathematically not possible.

 

Their poor start has given us the buffer we have.  A few earlier in the season predicted we would need it, and was good foresight.

When are these Leedsphobics going to learn to fact check before posting?

 

We have 2 more points than them in the last 10 and 3 more in the last 5.

Yeah but they take 6k fans wherever they go and recklessly throw men forward so they're automatically better than us

whole lot of points to play for. Nothing I’ve seen tells me we will drop enough points to stop us being promoted, but we will drop points. So will our rivals. 
 

It’s all in our own hands and that’s all you can ask for. Couple more wins and the Christmas period will be a lot more relaxed.

Southampton aren’t even in the picture… 4 points dropped in total for our serious rivals is a good time 

Well given they are on the same points as Leeds, they are as much in the picture of them. 
 

Southampton seem less threatening as they go about it quietly but they are on a massively long unbeaten run. Their problem is draws. If they could change that they’d be flying.

So if they could win games, they will do better… okay

Think that was for the refs performance, not ours. Stonewall penalty turned down and all sorts going unpunished on the pitch, I was seething with the little rat 

I know but I wish people wouldn’t because sometimes the players can think it’s directed at them

Leeds have the best players in every position, they have the best coach and the best fans,

yet they are 10 points below us, I just can’t work it work.

It defines the law of psychics - it’s an anomaly, conundrum and a mystery all rolled into one.

So yeah I’m trying to understand the logic even chat gpt isn’t giving me a definitive answer. So they are the best when winning, but when not winning they are still the best because they were the best when winning… Right

They've been the most consistent side except for when they haven't been. Really the first 10 games shouldn't have counted as they weren't ready

Yeah and we need to remove the last two games, they don’t count either

Pretty confident we will get 100 points requiring 1.92 PPG in the remaining games.

 

Also pretty confident Leeds or Southampton will struggle to get 100 points which needs 2.42 PPG in the remaining games. 

 

Keeping in mind we have broken a championship record for the most points after 21 games (52 points) at 2.47 PPG.

 

Both Southampton and Leeds would need the same sort of from for 24 games to hit a 100 points.

 

For prospective they have both managed 1.91 PPG form in the opening 22 fixtures, so they need to improve their form by over 0.6 PPG.

For me the table doesn't lie. We are top because our all round game is better than our opponents. We have the best defensive record in the League, probably the best midfielder in the league and an ability to dig deep to win games late on. Leeds are 10 points (maybe 13 hopefully after Monday) behind us for a reason and that reason is we are better than them as an all round team.

Yeah I remember when we got 102 points and I think we can better that now for sure

What about if they changed draws to defeats rather than victories?

Imagine this right, if we actually won every game we would actually have more points than the rubbish 52 we have now… amazing thought

You've seriously missed the 'any teams can drop points' comment.  Leeds are undoubtedly one of the top teams in this division, but the hyperbole around them had got out of hand. I've watched their last 2 games, and they were a little like us when we had our poorer results. Had all the possession, but huffed and puffed, and dare i say it looked poor in front of goal. 

 

They aren't immune to dropping points, and will continue to do so all season like everyone else. We know what we need to do, but we will also drop points along the way. Its important we all keep clear heads when we do.

 

Also, don't you think the Leeds players looked like they weren't enjoying their football?
