Need to start with our strongest team and that means playing Archie.

Cheers guys. Blue Mountains beckon!

Nah this is like when Everton kept getting last minute goals... Ipswich are riding their luck but they're not going to go away and unless Leicester get clobbered with a FFP points deduction I'm starting to worry that Ipswich are destined to get promotion because the amount of
times they've done this, beggars belief and sometimes
you just have to accept what's meant to be will be.

Win on Friday and I'd make us favourites for promotion over Ipswich.

Just watched last 15 mins of this and tend to agree with this

Games coming a bit too thick'n'fast for my liking ..

Anyway, thanks for the thread Earl

Enjoy them Blue Mountains, Stoopo

Cheers all

Hopefully our players are watching Leicester the same as the Ipswich players will be, because it seems some here always give up when there is more than enough points to be had!..

The top 3 played tonight, but you'd think only the top 2 won!.

Ipswich are proving they belong where they are.

They have players who can bury chances when needed. Division's top scorers at 73. They concede too many.
But find a way to do enough. Hats off to them.

Sense of relief we held on tonight coupled with Ipswich losing late on made it feel a bit of an anti climax which is wrong
Plenty more twists and turns ahead

Agree Batts. They're a bloody good team and if they Don't make the autos, they'll be very close.

Second half was pretty much the worst half by any Leeds team this season. Play like that against anyone but the team third bottom and we lose.

5pts behind 1st and 2 behind 2nd!..

30pts to play for, I doubt very much all 3 will get max points from those games, so we just have to grind out a few results and hope the others do worst!..

Didnt help playing with 9 men

Most times the team with the best defence wins leagues. They've only scored 7 more but conceded 19 less. We're not doing too badly

Who didn’t play?

I'm starting to think we'll need 100 points to shake off Ipswich. It's got the feel after another one of their comeback wins that they're going to go up automatically unless we rack up 3 figures in points so that's 8 more wins. Freak season this!

Thought rutter and Kamara were a disgrace tonight

Please not the pink kit on Friday night. It's like giving the opposition a goal start.

Thought Kamara was excellent 1st half but very poor 2nd and should have been subbed earlier.

"Most times the team with the best defence wins leagues. They've only scored 7 more but conceded 19 less. We're not doing too badly"

Earl, do you mean 19 more or am I missing something?..

Fair play to Ipswich, they deserve a crack at the EPL next season after so long out of it and I've tried to remain Positive about us going up automatically too but the manner in which we nervously got over the line against a lower half side and Ipswich winning has really rattled my belief and unless like I've already commented we get 100 points or Leicester get docked points for breaching FFP I think we may be looking at going up at Wembley so those wanting a Wembley day out this season may
just get their wish.

Meant we had conceded 19 less, apologies for confusion

Earl, not a problem!.

Interesting you pick those two out, 2nd half I think Gruev and Bamford didn't have the best halves either.
Summerville really faded badly as well and so clearly needs a rest.
On the Bamford point, others are saying just how bright Joseph looks, deserving of a start, he looks our best striker by a long way at the moment but Farke is much too dogmatic to see that, will start with Bamford against Wednesday.

Bamford was ok in the first half, did a lot of tracking and tackling, but lacks the spark Joseph brings. Tough call for Farke. I would not be surprised to see Georginho on the bench. He looked jaded tonight.
