There isn't a huge amount in the home form table (we've played a game less than Leeds and are 5 points behind). The away table is another matter though we don't have the friendliest fixtures left. The away fixtures don't worry me too much. As it stands we'll go into them happy with a draw vs Ipswich and Leeds... Whereas they are chasing us and will have to win and will be going for it. That suits the way we play as opposed to teams that park the bus. The likes of West brom are teams we should be beating if we turn up, and we shouldn't be losing to them at any rate. And equally, that playoff race is going to be tight and they'll be feeling the pressure whilst we'll be a scalp well out of their reach etc. The leiceater game is important however, I could see that one definetly eating into our game advantage over Leeds... But similarly, Leeds aren't going to win every game they've got left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester away will have to move if either team progresses in the FA Cup, obviously we go out to Liverpool but I think they have a chance v Bournemouth.

Mixedkebab Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) In any other championship season in history 91 points would be enough to go up in second, meaning we’d only need 24 points from our last 14 games typical saints to get this season of 4 wonder teams up there, or is it a load of shit amongst the rest Edited February 17 by Mixedkebab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I can 100% see Leeds winning against Leicester next week which means we have to win our next two. Do that and Leicester will be starting to get nervous if we are five behind them and Leeds 6 behind. Any further slip on their part and any one of three teams could be above them. Pressure does funny things to teams, particularly if you've been top all season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure does funny things to teams, particularly if you've been top all season. I think we have no chance of catching leicester, unless they have a freak run of poor form, which given their squad, is not going to happen - that being said, all doesn't seem well at the king power at the minute and they have a history of being a bit 'spursy' (didn't they spunk top 4 a couple of times when it was in their hands), all be it at the top end of the PL, rather than championship. I think Leeds will beat them and I could see Leeds catching them, given their run in and current form, but even that is unlikley. We'd need to win every game to catch them and given who we have left to play, it wont happen. For the sake of entertainment, it'd be great for us to make up 6 points this week and go their 5 points behind them in a months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
