Win tonight and we're more or less there barring a monumental drop off.

Just looking at leeds away form and didn’t realise how bang average it is, 11 points from the last 27. 

[PhillippaT]

So which match to watch next? Saints vs Swans?

Leeds fan base really are special.

 

Keeper pushes a player in the face ‘Never a red, embarrassing reaction from the Preston player’ it’s a red all day long he raised his hands and deliberately hit someone in the face. 
 

At the other end… Dan James does a backwards triple reverse flip with a degree of difficulty to win a penalty and total silence. 

I can't believe that Refs are still buying into the Dan James diving routine.  It's embarrassing !!

[fuchsntf]

Ipswich win…

only regained the ground they lost the other day a bit like one of the WWI christmas pushes without the snow…

 

Leicester ,lose…not too many tears down Filbertway

Leicester Win, Psses the world right off..and confirms NTF prophesy of the chasing

                          Pack..

Leicester draw, gravy drops but still best meat on the table..

Leicester win…rethink  Seasonal greetings,driving into the new year..

                            Stay humble and

                            the prize tastes sweeter. The future is on..!! No stopping Enzo-ball.

Enzo and Vardy have contracted themselves out to Disney,

                             not even one character missing,

                             from fantasia to Vestergaard Shrek,

                              we got ‚em all,then throw in jungle book Balu Daka,leading the way.

                             We have Enzo-magic with Peter Pan Vardy

                              and with Dick Whittington 40 winks..and not letting too early

                               Ricardo the cat out of the bag..

                               Kaa very enticing,Enzo but more trustworthy

                               getting people believing him…

                               Farke makes a great growling khan,interloper

                               from across the Dales.

 

lose win or draw,what a very nice Christmas,with KDH, & Ndid playing the

Dastardly & Mutley upon the opposition..

Just waking up to hear Leeds lost lol.

Forest beat Newcastle with Woody scoring a hatrick! I couldn’t have dreamt that stuff 

hope we win today COYF keep the good run of confidence & results going into the new year. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

With all the bluster coming out of Leeds it’s allowed Southampton to go quietly about their business, important we win tonight. 

[HighPeakFox]

I don't spend much time on social media, so luckily I don't read all the noise. Can highly recommend not living there, my friends. 

[Legend_in_blue]

I'd be more concerned with Southampton right now than Leeds.  Win tonight and we pretty much establish that gap to them that we should have had if we'd turned them over at home.  Leeds are irrelevant.  Southampton are picking up consistent results however and are a greater danger.

If anything that is what will cost them an automatic spot.

For some reason Southampton have been consistently underestimated and Leeds, perhaps, overrated

They haven't lost since September.

Personally, I think us and Southampton have the best squads in this league. Leeds have some good attackers but not the rounded strength of Southampton so I think you’re right with this.

I think because they, Southampton, got off to a slowish start and coupled with the media Leeds love in and the Leeds fans being so shouty. Southampton have been overlooked as they've just quietly been going about their business. 

[Nolucklcfc]

Southampton are a bit of a dark horse because of all the Leeds focus. Soon to be 16 games unbeaten is ridiculous.

Shows how important out strong start was and winning at their place 

[ithuriel]

Once Southampton leapfrog Leeds and the media  start to big them up, is when it gets harder for them because they are then there to be shot down, teams will raise their game against them.

Should be interesting to see how they cope.

Best part about Chris Wood's hattrick is I work with a Newcastle fan who spent last week slagging him off to high heaven

[Super_horns]

2 away wins .

 

On a roll.

 

Decent crowd.

 

Ofcourse we are 2 down and that is flattering to us !

[coolhandfox]

For me Southampton draw to many to be a massive threat.

 

They have drop points in 10 games (6 Draw and 4 losses) compare that to us dropping points in 4 (1 Draw and 3 losses.

 

I also suspect we will strengthen more then our rivals.

Southampton 2-0
