9 games left

[Gazza M]

5 wins, 2 draws take us to 99. That will be too much for Ipswich and Southampton. Think we could just about scrape the title with that but Leeds are on a roll and beating us twice means maybe they will edge us.

If Wilf and Ricardo are fit for the 9 games we will cruise it.

 

We have lost one league game when Wilf has played.

We have Saints, WBA and Norwich all at home though and I’m not sure I back us in home games right now  

They won't sit in a low block, a more open game is better for us than teams that put 10 behind the ball.

Think 6 wins gets minimum second

The way results have been going just lately six wins is going to take some doing. 

[cruzFOX]

Let me clarify by saying the players should still be targeting top spot is so that if they don’t achieve it won’t be for lack of trying and maybe they get 2nd so fair dues. However I just don’t think they should settle for 2nd just yet as they might not get that and end up then in the play offs. Just my weird logic 😅

And Ricky being back stops Winks being targeted quite so much. 

Very good point.  Winks was invisible today wasn't he?

Dunno mate. Ricardo yes, but Wilf looked out of sorts yesterday.

Very good chance we won’t know if we win/avoid playoffs until full time 4th May.

Give him chance to get back up to speed. The structure he gives the team makes us far more a threat.

It is, but we have started letting too many soft goals in for my liking.

I think Faes and Justin, have both lost a bit of form.

I get why he is starting them, Justin is a better one on one defender than Doyle, and playing Coady ahead of Faes, would mean we have less pace at the back, but they can`t go on defenending like they are.

Hopefully the break will give them a bit of time to refresh and get back to the right levels again, along with a number of others who`s form has dropped off a cliff in recent weeks.

I don’t think we have much time for him to get up to speed, that’s the problem 

[Pliskin]

We miss Ricardo badly. He’s the glue that holds this whole thing together.

Enzo and Rudkin ... credit where credit's due the post was a team effort. 

[teblin]

Looking at the fixtures, if we can find form again. We are capable of winning all of those games. In fact we did in all of the return fixtures.

 

however it doesn’t always work like that, but Ricardo and wilf are key. Vardy hopefully keeps his form.

 

Need KDH and/or Mav to step up again and we will be all good.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Everyone all of a sudden looks knackered both physically and mentally. It’s concerning, and I really would bring in Coady over Faes for his leadership. He might not be as adventurous as Faes going forward but we’ve all started concede a lot and I think this moves mitigates that as well.

 

Having slept on it I’m not sure we can judge too much based on that awful pitch yesterday. But how much I’d give to string 3 or 4 wins together and look confident again.

I want the title. The Leeds fans are insufferable.

A title means nothing . Aboustle zero meaning

[Kinowe Soorie]

I want the title after being top of the table for so long, and would feel a little gutted if Leeds did win it, but will also, at this stage be relieved to get out of this division.

Bring on the points deduction!!

Errrr. Struggling to comprehend this. Would you prefer to go up second? Or first? The importance of going up is a given. There is a difference though between Champions and Runners Up.

Ive said this time and time again - there is no difference what so ever in the grand scheme of things. No one cares Brentford weren't champions when they went up, no one cares Bournemouth, Brighton, Villa and Fulham didn't go up as champions. 

 

It's what they did when they got up that mattered.

 

Either of the top 2 spots is job done.

No one else just feeling absolute disgust at the whole club again?

 

Feels like April last year to me. The club management (board) are all in malaise and have consistent allowed us to be in absolute shambles of position.
 

I think bar Vardy the players are all bottlejob overpaid prima donnas, who I have zero faith in will deliver us promotion. 
 

Also think we have a manager who far overrated his ability. A championship side with Ndidi and Ricardo is farcical. 
 

Honestly just loathe the club at the moment. We’re playing for survival of the club effectively here and no one seems to have noticed. If we don’t go up this year, serious chance we are in league one in two years time

Agreed. It really doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have any influence on next season. 

[Happy Fox]

Not fussed at all with finishing 1st as long as we finish in the Top 2 that’s all that matters , pre season we would have all taken a top 2 finish. Playoffs was something we need to avoid at all costs because it’s a lottery.

[Product of 84]

I don't think Ndidi is fit at the moment. He was been rushed back in. Hopefully, he can rest, heal and get fit. I hope we aren't forced to play him on Sunday in the FA Cup.

 

Also think KDH is carrying a knock or two. He hasn't been the same since Coventry away when he was wiped out. I think he is mentally knackered too. He seems to carry the world on his shoulders. 

 

I'm quite positive. We've had a blip and come back and got 4 points from two tricky away games. We've rolled our sleeves up, huffed and puffed and got the job done. A rest will mentally do them a world of good.

 

Keep the faith!
