No mate don't be daft. We're a tinpot, little, nothing club. They only talk about us and bitch about us daily because we're so obsessed with how much of a big club they are.

Fidgety Foxes well within target

By - 06/04/2009 13:38 Even though Peterborough are showing few signs of slipping up in the closing stages of the regular season, Leeds must keep going because the one-time runaway leaders Leicester are realistically within our sights.

Simon Grayson believes his players are thriving on the pressure of their promotion challenge following Saturday's 1-0 win at Colchester.

Grayson, whose side face Leyton Orient in the capital on Tuesday, said: "The players are thriving on it and they're playing with a lot of confidence and belief.

"They feel very comfortable and they're enjoying playing football at this moment in time."

Grayson has been at pains to say he and his players are taking things one game at a time but he wouldn't be human if he didn't think there was at least an outside chance of nicking an automatic promotion berth.

Peterborough, to me, look like certainties to go up but I'm not totally sure Leicester will be joining them in the Championship next season.

The Foxes have won just one of their last five and Saturday's 2-2 draw with Carlisle means they have failed to beat six of the last seven teams to have visited the Walkers Stadium.

As well as the Cumbrians, Leicester have drawn at home to Brighton, Oldham, Swindon, Stockport and Colchester since the end of January with their solitary home win in that time coming against Cheltenham.

While 12 points may currently separate Leeds and the leaders, the gap would be down to nine if Leeds were to win on Tuesday and of course Leeds have yet to go to Leicester, by which time the gap could be down to six at kick-off on Easter Monday.

It's also worth noting that Leicester also still have to play at in-form Southend and their final home game of the season is against play-off hopefuls S****horpe, who may well need something when they meet on April 24.

I don't envy them going to Crewe on the final day, either.

That said, I'm not counting my Easter chickens about three points being bagged at Orient especially as there are injury doubts over Neil Kilkenny, Robert Snodgrass and Richard Naylor.

Kilkenny injured his ankle on Saturday, Snodgrass has a problem with his ankle and Nayls has had to have stitches in a head injury so Rui Marques stands by to return after a hamstring injury.

A win for Leeds however would at least give the Foxes something else to worry about.

Big fan of Leeds, feel honoured to be in the same divison as them and almost cheeky that we've been above them in the league almost all season.

top of the league with just 5 games to go but it feels like we are battling relegation on these message boards....

I know we have let a substantial lead slip away, but we are still 2 points clear at the TOP of the league, and 7 points clear of 3rd.

our run in is not as easy as some, but we should come away with a decent return of points.

it seems alot of 'fans' have already decided we will lose to leeds and scunny...I'M SURE NIGEL PEARSON AND THE TEAM MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT!?

Just as well we build up such a comfortable cushion...terrible run of form, yet still clear at the top!!!...Leeds are dreaming if they think they can catch us.

it is all in out own hands now...a 5 game mini league and we are going in with a 2 point advantage.....bring it on....I still think we will win the league title, but I would settle for runners up spot and forget about 3rd tier football forever...(or at least a season)

Luton might of done us a favor yesterday, it certainly couldn't have done much for Scunthorpes confidence loosing that.

Edit to say, hope Leeds rot in here for another year.

I definitely fear Millwall may catch, but Leeds should not even be on our radars.

I just wish City could finally stand up and start playing so that we don't have to bother looking on the radar. Why is it always the same with our team?

...Because if you wanted boring, sure-fire certainty coupled with a virtual guarantee of results then you'd be wearing a Manure top and take to watching them on the TV in the pub on Sundays.

Life, like the fortunes of almost every other club in the country, is unpredictable and shit happens. How you deal with the downs marks your measure as a man and teaches you to appreciate the ups (no matter how rare they may be).

If we'd guaranteed promotion by now then the forum would be full of threads about how dull it is and how we have nothing left to play for. Just as the tail end to the last two seasons were exciting because we suddenly had an awful lot to play for - so too is this one. Each and every game between now and the end of the season is important, each one will be tense as we grind out essential points.

For one, I am seriously looking forward to the next three games.
