International Break - Time To Reset

I’m not convinced we will suddenly start playing well because we’ve had a break … 

Our form before and after previous international breaks suggests improvements will be made.

The other thing it does is disrupts Leeds momentum a little.

We have a new final 9 game season after the break and we are still in pole position. A rest and the return of Vardy, Ricardo, Ndidi and Vestergaard and we are in good shape to go out and win all 9 games and take our league title.

Not sure why there should be any negativity really. A few results have gone against us, but realistically I’d say only the QPR game we played poorly.

Ricardo and Ndidi are critical to the team we want to be and us playing out best - both of them returning is huge! Vestergaard also missed a couple of those games and Mavididi, KDH and Winks have all needed a rest that they’ve now been given.
We’ve already beaten everyone we have left to play this season.

No excuses now! Everything is set up for us to win the league. We’re in a great position.

I hope you’re right, I think this FFP charge will play a part as well. That’s definitely been part of the poor run of form. Be good to see some fresh faces in the team too. Not sure if enzo will do it though.

I’d rather our last 9 fixtures than Leeds’.

I’d rather a Suzuki Burgman ‘Executive’ than a BMW whatever it is, but you can’t have everything!

You raise a good point about disrupting Leeds’ flow. 
 

International breaks can come at good times and bad times. We’ve got to make this count, we just need to assume Leeds will win their final 8 games, we need to then aim to match them, and then take advantage in the game in hand.

It does help that we play before Leeds on the 29th March and 1st April have to make it count and get 6 points from these next two anything less and we can forget about winning the league.

Yeah definitely prefer playing before the rivals. 

 

As well as the above, we also play a day before Ipswich (we play Millwall on 9th) 

 

And then Plymouth on Friday 12th, so before all the other 3 that weekend.

I'd rather have Rachel Riley than Susan Boyle but you can't have everything.
