We're here at the final stage of the season 10 or so games to go and simple question is do we go up?
Except it's not so simple, is it?
We can't expect to win every week, we've just gone on exceptional run and it's carried us into what couldn't be a much better position.
We do have to hope some other results go our way, but we have 10 or so matches for that to happen, not just 2 or so.
It feels like Leicester might just crumble, it would certainly be a spectacular implosion, Southampton and Ipswich have done brilliantly to be where they are and its hard to predict how this will pan out, but we're in the right place, with the right players and the right manager who has done this twice before in really recent times.
I am confident we will have the results from other teams around us that give us opportunity to go up automatically, it's our job to do our job, to take that opportunity and at this point in season, I feel we will and also feel more confident about our chances should it go to play offs, than I have before, but please Leeds, don't put us through that if you can avoid it!
Final home run

"They with us and Leicester were the Prem
princes coming down loaded with talent"
If we were all loaded with talent why did we come down and likes of Everton, Burnley, Palace survive?

because most of our talent came this year. the mixture of all the wantaway loanees and the worst manager possibly sent us deservedly down. imo if we had a couple of weeks more at the beginning of the season to get our team together we'd be walking this league.
didn't burnley just go down last season?

I think if Farke had known his first 4 or 5 games who he could play might have helped, it was the farce with the loan players and him not being able to pick his best that gave us a bad start!..
If some of the want out players had stayed, Farke would have got more from them than any off the captainless crews before him got!..

2pts a game which should be well within reach given its what we have averaged all season will give us 95pts, i expect probably a couple more and if we dont go up with that then theres not much we can do.
I do expect these next 2 or 3 games to be as tough as saturday.

Following the Leicester win, I was thumping the air and saying we’d go up as Champions. Of course, that’s still possible but we’ve been hamstrung all season by our start which, along with the form of the other top 3, has meant we couldn’t afford any slip ups. We’re still in a great position for autos and think we’ll make those. Otherwise, I still also think we’d be too strong in the play-offs and would go up via that route. But who knows? There’s still twists and turns left in this season.

I think whoever from Leeds, Leicester or Southampton goes into play-offs doesn’t come up. The disappointment in getting to play-offs with the added pressure will be too much

Agree. I reckon Hull win the play offs if they get in.
Which they should. Good side.
