Not nice fixtures for Preston, Sheffield Wednesday’s remaining games look a bit of a minefield too.

I was predicting ‘Boro slipping out of the play-offs but they seem to have the nicest set so reckon they may just cling onto 6th with Villa finishing 5th and winning the lot.

Based on fixtures alone, I’d say Forest are the most likely to gatecrash the play-offs and we can pretty much rule Bristol City out at this point, tough set of fixtures that you wouldn’t want in any run-in let alone when you’ve just hit a slump in form.

To be honest, i'd rather play the better teams at Deepdale, ones who will hopefully come at us like Norwich and Brentford did.

Be a really tough ask with your fixtures but you never know.

Could do with Preston,Wednesday and villa all picking points up off Leeds, I think they'll win the other 5 against wall,brum,ipswich,Wigan and brentford. Then we need to better that, decided Norwich aren't getting caught, other than boro up next think they'll win every remaining game until villa last match.

Would have said the same about Norwich, Boro, Bristol City, Forest, Derby & Birmingham to be honest who we've played in our last 9. Hopefully the return of Robinson & Moult means we can kill teams off at home a bit more.

Our run-in looks like this:

AWAY vs Middlesbrough
HOME vs QPR
HOME vs Reading
AWAY vs Wigan
HOME vs Wednesday
AWAY vs Stoke
HOME vs Blackburn
AWAY vs Villa

So if we can get through that Middlesbrough game with at least a point (but hopefully all three considering their dismal recent form), it's very much in our hands to finish in the top 2, especially as both Leeds and Sheffield United have less generous run-ins than we do (if Alex Neil could have Preston do us some favours against those two, that would be great).

Either way, it would be good to have it sorted before that game against Villa, as they'll give us a really tough game at their place, especially if they're still in the play-off hunt.

6 points off the play offs with a game in hand, might be making an appearance back in here soon!
Well, two defeats out of two since then, and it's probably a bridge too far again now even if we won the rest of our games.

Honestly, I'm just glad we've still got something to play for. Was worried our season would just peter out like Blackburn's has, at least the last 8 games should be interesting.

Fancy us to win at Reading and then it's Blades (H), Leeds (H) and West Brom (A). If we get through those 3 fixtures with 5 to 7 points then we've got a great chance.

Also, could really do with Bolton finding some form (if they still exist after Wednesday) as they still have Boro, Villa and Derby to play.

Are they wiped out for the play-offs?

Unbelievable that we can't expect a professional player to go eight games without picking up three bookings. The fact he was booked at Boro for gobbing off is pathetic.

I'm not sure, you would hope so.

It's getting to the point where if we're comfortable in a game after an hour and he hasn't been booked, that we might have to start taking him off to save him/us.

Still Super Leeds to me though, even though I haven't been for 4 or 5 years.

Football is football whether you boot it up field or pass it about. If it works it works.

You need to be able to do both imo to be successful at this level, brentford knock it around better than anyone but it's just 1 gameplan and that's it, times you have to grind it out.

It certainly helps if you can do both .

Express yourself
Create the space
You know you can win
Don't give up the chase
Beat the man
Take him on
You never give up
It's one on one

Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself
It's one on one
Express yourself

You can't be wrong
When somethings good
It's never gone

Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true

Now is the time
Let everyone see
You never give up
that's how it should be

Don't get caught
Make your own play

Express yourself
Don't give it away
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong

When somethings good
Its never wrong

Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true

Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true

You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line

They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get round the back

Leeds have a high press but let's not pretend they play some tika taka Barca style football, they're just effective in their own way.

Well i watched you against weds and leeds and i didnt see you play football ,still its got up well done

So you've watched 2 games, great opinion you have then, bearing in mind it's the two most cautious games we could play all year. Stop talking fucking nonsense, infact carry on thinking it.

He’s talking shite, Sheffield Utd are the only side to have more of the ball in a game than Leeds this season. You’re probably the best side to watch in the league when you’re on it, Leeds are very effective and street wise, it’s been noticeable in the three games live I’ve watched them in how good their game management is.
