----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looked at that. No other team seems affected.

Looks like there are 8 games with yours, weekend and the midweek after. Guess you were given the option and took then.
Is your next league game after a Friday night? Might be why you are this week not the week after?

We are the only Championship teams playing midweek next week.

We play Sunday & Wednesday in the league and Saturday in the FA Cup.

There are 9 Championship teams playing in the Cup next weekend, including us and Norwich. Norwich at least play Sunday.

I guess it’s just the way the fixtures panned out.

By what I can see there are 8 Championship games between 24th and 31st Jan.
I assume there was a full weekend planned and then any game that had to be rescheduled due to cup games was done. You and Norwich chose next week and 6 teams chose the midweek after. No idea about the other 8.

I think there was to be a full week of championship matches to fit in around the fa cup weekend.
We cannot play on that Saturday ( Plymouth cup) and are playing the following Friday night (Bristol city) so we must have agreed to play Norwich one week earlier.

Looks like that. It’s a big test for our squad and three home games in a row will test some pockets as well.

A chance to close the gap though 🤞

Given the temperatures this week i'm just glad, as a fan in the stands, the matches are next week and not this ...........

Thought it was quite mild here yesterday, only -9. Golfing weather.

Weather outlook for Leeds next 10 days is cold obviously but not as cold as has been the last week plus no more snow is forecast so that sounds like our next 3 games including Norwich will definitely go ahead and just have to hope the players can recover quickly and manage to keep winning.

In one way it's a conjested set of fixtures that we could do without but if we get them out of the way and the points in the bag it puts the pressure on our rivals so swings and roundabouts and if we're going to get promoted automatically I guess this will be a big indicator and test of our capabilities.

In shorts as well probably ...........

Was -2 last night, warm enough for chin ups in the garden 🥶

As featured on Jeremy Vine yesterday, this is where it's at, supposed to be good for your physical and mental health

Really hope we get through that week in good shape. Our bad results over the holiday period could be attributed to a lot of games in a short period with not enough recovery time in between.

In Canada they tend to do everything underground in the winter. It’s amazing how far under they go to shop and then they can link with other malls and banks, etc.

Thry are just more beefed up than we are for our few days of really cold weather.

My mate ran a hotel in New Hampshire for a few years and he told me it got to -35c at times. You could throw a bucket of water up in the air and it came down as ice crystals.

My nuts are freezing just thinking about it 🥶

Beefed up sounds good but I meant geared up. 🤣🤣

Temperature in NZ for the next week…Nah, you don’t want to know

We have to put pressure on Ipswich tomorrow. They are away at Leicester on Monday and I can see a loss there. So by Weds, if we can win both home games, we could be 1 point off second. Ok we will have played a game more than both but points in the bag are what we need.

Both Norwich and Coventry winning as I type. Ones to watch for the playoffs?

I think the two best sides in the division are Leicester and Southampton and are form over Christmas meant we were destined to finish below both of them. Without a dramatic dip in form by either of those two I cannot see us catching them.

I think we are the third best side in the division and whether we finish above or below Ipswich is irrelevant. They just have to be in the play-offs with us.
