Match Preview;
Massive Friday evening at Loftus Road, live on Sky against promotion hopefuls Leeds United. They won 3-4, at Middlesbrough, on Monday evening, to record their first win since the 1st of April. They had previously lost two, either side of a goalless draw against Coventry. That run has left them within touching distance of third place Ipswich Town, who are only a point behind them, with a game in hand. Crysencio Summerville is their top scorer with 20 goals so far, and with league leader Leicester faltering at the moment too, Leeds will be desperate to get another win to move closer to automatic promotion, and possibly even the Championship title for this year.

As for us, our win against Preston on Saturday all but guarantees our Championship survival. We are 18th, and 4 points from Birmingham, who are 22nd. It could take a win and a draw for Birmingham, who are yet to play Huddersfield and Norwich, and wins for Blackburn, Plymouth, and two wins for Sheffield Wednesday so see us move back into the relegation battle...assuming the worst, and we don't pick up any points in the next two games. I'm feeling a lot more confident than I was before the Preston game. Dykes was back on the score sheet, which was great to see, and he now leads the goalscorers table, with 6.

​

COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

Nice one Dave

Takes me back to that crazy promotion confirming day at HQ when we were confirmed as going up as Champions

Flags, beers, pitch invasion and we lost 1 nil to Massive but no one gave a toss

Happy Days

So let's take matters into our own hands and smash Dirty Leeds

 

Dave! Brum wouldn't need 2 wins if we lose our last 2 games against tough opposition. They would go above us on GD with just 1 win and a draw in their last 2 games at Huddersfield who lost 0-4 home to Swansea last game, and home to Norwich who may already be in the play-offs by then.

 

We lost 1-2, but it was a crazy day.

 

Scored first early on

 

It's a massive game against a massive club (and Leeds are there too) with massive support from massively amazing fans making massive noise and celebrating with massive energy when we win 2:1 resulting in another season in the massive championship under the most massive manager we've had for a massively long time. COYRsss!

 

By Christ I'm getting old, could have sworn it was 1 nil

 

Will we be wearing next seasons kit on friday?

 

Right you are! Edited with a correction.

 

Cheers Dave.

Are you over for this one?

Proper game with stuff on the line for both teams. Love it.

 

Rio Ferdinand

Vinnie Jones

(possibly) Dexter Blackstock

 

Dan James ruled out for them with hamstring injury...... 1 down 10 to go....

 

Sadly not over, but I'll be watching/following from Paris.

 

I'd rather he played tbh.

 

Vinnie Jones;
1989–1990 Leeds United 46 (5)
1998–1999 Queens Park Rangers 9 (1)
