I think there’ll be plenty of twists and turns on the way and it’ll go to the wire.Who’d have thought we’d all reel Leicester in to such an extent?!
If - and it’s a massive if - we can reel off four more consecutive wins for March, against the teams “easiest on paper”, I’d be a lot more optimistic about automatic promotion. That’d be nine consecutive wins! I remember last season laughing at Spanish when he made a prediction we’d win ten in a row (which I think actually happened or we came very close to doing). Under McKenna, we have a habit of making the extraordinary appear ordinary. However, as it stands, I can easily see Leicester reversing their recent poor form and Leeds continuing their unbeaten run. They are clubs with Premier League quality and experience in their ranks. For me, we’re still the underdogs and that April set of fixtures fills me with a bit of dread! Whether we finish top of the table or fourth in the table - it’s still a successful return to the Championship and a significant achievement, considering our recent history. Regardless what happens over the stretch, we know that this club won’t go down without a fight. 35 games in and we’ve only lost four times! I just hope everyone associated with the club can get this over the line - they deserve it!
Having given them six points and effectively a plus 10 GD advantage it's amazing we're still above them!
I am sure it will give us all huge pleasure if we stayed above Leeds. Maybe Spanish wont need to be a pirate on their forum!
Gaffer, he told me he just goes over to their board to pass warm pleasantries with them & was even asked to speak at their end of season get together !!!
We’ve only really one tough nut to crack. As I keep saying throw everything at beating Hull, leave nothing in reserve, and the rest should follow. Hull are hopefully knackered themselves.
