Only 3 off the playoffs….that Norwich result could be costly, although, I think it’s been the catalyst for our current form. PUSB

Being bold here, we will beat Leeds 2-1

I really hope Leeds don't break our spirit on Wednesday because we've been playing as well lately as we did pre season. Remember the optimism after Everton and Werder Bremen

The odds are we lost next two games
But I don't see it breaking this sides confidence or spirit tbh

We need to average 1.75 points to hit 70 (which will be enough for the playoffs this year)
Since Lampard took over we’ve averaged 1.85 points per game

Honestly every season I am worried until we reach 50 pointsWell do you think we are going to make it...
even if we don’t get playoffs I would be delighted with a top ten finish and to further build the team in the summerPerennial Lurker

There were more than a few on here that were way over the top early in the season with their threat of relegation predictions.
Even at our worst we were still capable of beating the top sides and the much maligned xg stats were showing consistently that we were creating a lot of goal scoring opportunities .
Some players who "bizarrely" were overlooked for a big chunk of the season are now getting a run of games and showing the folly in not starting them ...Simms,Dovin,Kitching to name three but others like Torp,BTA and even Allen are others .
In essence form is temporary, class is always permanent

Not just Leeds but the cup weekend other teams will play as well. There’s every chance we go into QPR 7-10 points off the playoffs through no real fault of our own (no one would blame us for losing on Wednesday). Will be important for players to keep their chins up if that happens.

That's how I see it too. Can't see our fans turning on the team if we lose those. If we then slip against QPR (who will have had a week's rest) then the grumbles will return. Hopefully it doesn't happen.
Doing well missing key players and have now strengthened in midfield
let’s be honest outside of the top 4 we have as good a chance as anybody for 5th or 6th
the truth is Leeds are good and we’ll get a hiding, the other 3 in top 4 are decent and the rest are bang average
no chance of relegation things are on the up

Only Burnley really other than Leeds tbh. We matched Sunderland and Sheff Utd with Collins in goal and Carr on the touchline.
After Leeds we’ve got a run against other midtable sides before Derby and that run of 2-4th back to back. Beating the majority of them will be key if we want a playoff push. Leeds and Ipswich are free hits.

I would love it if we went up ahead of Sheff Utd. Love it. Sign Hamer then bid for O’Hare and pull out at the last minute.
