I don’t get the thing about having a pop at people who turn up and get criticised for leaving early, if that’s what they want to do. Tuesday was a struggle, but we go again. No offence whatsoever intended. Love your content. None taken. I get it if we’re a few goals down but I don’t understand why anyone would leave a game early when it’s tight or we’re winning. Much like I don’t get why people are so desperate for a pint or to stuff their fat faces with shit stadium food that they’ll go down stairs on 35 minutes and not come back until the second half is well under way 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds will bin off Farke before Christmas if it isn't working in the Prem. And anyway Farke has only ever managed low budget Norwich- he might get more of a crack at Leeds. Yep, fair enough!

I think if we we're all honest it's unlikely we'll get top two, Leeds have won 9 in a row , we are not going to match them or catch Leicester 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc4prem Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Bit of luck, tenacity, drive and spirit there from Leeds won them that game. Interestingly, I felt it came from their energy levels, which were very high. That energy and tenacity has been lacking for us in the last few games (bar WBA and Hudds second half). Still, all to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game was in the balance, still a mass exodus round us with five to go. Remember the Sheffield Weds game was the same. Team has given a good performance. Respect that and stay to the end.

Yeah, other than that Leeds were a credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 If I was a Leicester fan, I'd be a bit disappointed, but at the same time confident the side will bounce back. They played like they have all season. Strong at the back, lots of men behind the ball, quality players in midfield that are very confident to accept the ball while under pressure, and an extremely pacey side that is good on the break. They will be a nightmare for us. If I was a Leeds fan, I'd feel similar to how I do as a Saints fan at the moment. Really happy at wining all these games, but just wondering how good a side we really are as defensively we were carved to bits in the last game by a confident side that is good on the break. Leeds away will obviously be tough, but if we are a little less open at the back than we have been, I think we can match them and have a goal in us. No way we play as badly as we did last season at Elland Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night a great deal of luck was mixed in to allow the 3-1 result. I agree though, they've been relentlessly incisive and ruthless over that run of games. Not a fluke.

Their two away games are derbies so I don't see them as foregone conclusions. Ultimately though, we can't afford any more defeats if we want to leave it to the last game of the season which probably isn't realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, given the silly draws we had during the 25 game run, we are likely going to have to win at either/both of those to have a chance at top 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The autos are by no means gone but it's looking a very tall order. Our 3 defeats in 4 game out of the blue, after an incredible run of good form and against 3 teams you'd say were bread and butter victories. There's no reason that can't happen to Leeds or Ipswich, although it's very unlikely to happen to both. We've just got to put February behind us, like we did September, and do what we can in the remaining games. Hit form at the right time and you never know.

OttawaSaint Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 And that's why I hate VAR. No yellow for a challenge that we've seen Saints players red carded for multiple times in the past. He's injured the player and they're saying oh Caicedo wasn't looking and didn't mean it. Wtf?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
