Looking at the top 3's remaining fixtures I'd say Leicester/Ipswich would be my top 2. Leeds have the toughest run in IMO and are due a slight downturn in form when they hit those fixtures. It should be enough as long as you start winning again and don't do anything silly, which you shouldn't. You've had your dip in form now same as Ipswich did at the turn of the year. Leeds turn is coming. 

Leeds won't mind as long as they win the title of champions since the end of August they'll be fine.

@Pub breath not sure this is that funny, perhaps if Rodon wasn't feigning taking a whack in the face he might of been able to soften his landing.

LOL.  It was, probably without any exaggeration, one of the most obvious penalties you're ever going to see.  Not only did he clean him out, he put a knee into his face and the only bit of him that touched the ball, was his hands.  He was on a yellow too.  Madness that this wasn't given and him not sent off.

50 seconds into this

Knee doesn't actually touch his face though does it? Rodon has crouched down, not as if Cooper has jumped in the air to do it. What did you make of Gnonto still being on the pitch?

Aye, it does Tommy.  You can see his head rock back on impact.  Underside of the chin on his left side.  Not that it matters anyway, he's cleaned him out and punched the ball.  In what parallel universe is that not a penalty?

Why's he holding his face then? Ref literally has a perfect view of it, do you really think he wouldn't give you a penalty and send him off if it was that obvious? Ignore the Gnonto point I see......

I've got this sense of calm this morning. I dont know why. Just think we are going to do it. By do it, I mean finish in the top 2. The title is a seperate thing. I'd love to win the league but as long as we are up, I'm fine with second.

Fair play to Leeds. Their run now, is basically the same as what we did in the opening 13 matches. 

 

Feels like it'll be Ipswich's results (and ours obviously) that'll decide our fate.

Looking highly likely.  About 2 points per game each.

He deserves a 10 match ban for that reaction alone lol 

 

Pathetic attempt at trying to cheat. The guy doesn't even touch his face and he's rolling round - which doesn't happen if you're caught in the head. Players that actually get hit in the head, are usually pretty damn still. lol

 

You've had a mare on this one haha.

Leicester 2.22ppg / 101.9pts

Ipswich 2.13ppg / 98.1pts

Southampton 2.03ppg / 93.3pts

 

Crazy!

Even though we've got a game in hand, I'd rather be in Leeds situation, red hot form with 8 games to go. Any points dropped now are very difficult to recover and I don't think Enzo knows how to stop the rot. Even Ipswich have this never say die attitude, which makes every game winnable. Us on the other hand, once we concede, we're pretty much guaranteed to drop points.

Leeds are cruising this league now, there is no way they will lose another game and id be very surprised if they are not champions.

 

We have a 3 way battle not to end up in the playoffs.

Everyone was saying the same kind of thing about Southampton when they were winning all the time and 20+ unbeaten

 

No guarantees in this league

I watched half an hour yesterday in the second half and cruising they weren't. They were very very nervous and the game reminded me of games we've muddled through (Sheff Weds at home) and thought it'll be OK. 

 

Leeds are one defeat away from the kind of panic we now find ourselves in

So many who comment on this aren't watching any of the teams play. Someone made a comment about Southampton being excellent the other day, but the last few times I have watched them they've been really poor.  The run in is going to be vervy for everyone.

Ipswich v Southampton will be very, very interesting

Feel like how Ipswich fare against Southampton and Norwich will determine their fate. We really need to open the gap back up over these games.

Let's not forget their games against Hull and Coventry also. 4 of their 8 are tricky
