Chris_B_SWFC Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Looking at the fixtures a few weeks ago would have never thought this game could be so important. A Norwich win basically seals the top six as they are now (just probably in a different order) regardless of results elsewhere. A draw will see us, Reading and Huddersfield make the playoffs. Leeds' only hope there is that Fulham lose to keep 6th place reachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) If Leeds don't win that game we're in the play offs. Game is massive for them, but we should focus on doing the job v Ipswich too. Edited April 23, 2017 by northernerowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Then Leeds would need to score something like 15-0 will in last game though. Leeds need to win both games and hope Fulham drop points or we lose two matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yeah but if they win they only need to win at an already Relegated Wigan to Leave:- Reading needing one point from two matches Us needing two points from two matches Huddersfield needing two points from three matches Fulham needing three points from two matches I am expecting Leeds to win their two matches and if they do I reckon they will sneak in. Somebody will mess up, especially with Fulham and us playing each other. I just pray we can win at Ipswich because otherwise we are in for a very nervy last day.

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Everybody is saying Fulham are definitely in the play offs if they win next week. I agree they almost certainly are but not definitely. They have +27 goal difference, Leeds +14. Would these results be impossible? Fulham 2-1 Brentford Leeds 5-0 Norwich Wednesday 4-0 Fulham Wigan 0-6Leeds Leaving Leeds on +25 and Fulham on +24. Yeah, on second thoughts it ain't happening Edited April 23, 2017 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I expect Leeds to win their remaining games. I also expect Fulham to win on Saturday. The question will then be whether Fulham field a weakened side against us on the last day knowing their goal difference is better than Leeds'. Obviously, being me, this is assuming we don't win next Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think Huddersfield are in trouble. Wolves away is a tough game particularly after yesterday's result then they've got to contend with The Redknapp Show at Birmingham then it's Warnock at home. Could see them only picking up 1 point from that lot. The pressure's getting to them as I always thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Leeds are likely to batter Norwich. Wigan will be down, so three points for Leeds a week on Sunday is likely too. Udders look vulnerable. Wolves away on Tuesday is an awful fixture. Then Redknapp's points-needing Birmingham away. They might need a win or at least a draw at home to Cardiff, who are the sort of physical side that Udders struggle against. I believe we need two points. McCarthy has said he will play his first team, and their home form is strong. I would be delighted but very surprised if the Fulham match is a dead rubber. Get biting those nails.

GMOwl72 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 5pm next Saturday and it's all clear on what is needed (or not) and by who. Enjoy it while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoop Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'd be suprised if Leeds don't win their two remaining games Norwich are extremely poor away from home, and they'll crumble at a packed Elland Road. They also have Alan Irvine in charge which isn't going to help matters They go to Wigan on the last day, and everyone beats Wigan We still have work to do, but two draws at least shouldn't be beyond us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wednesdaywizard Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Reading the Leeds forums they are talking about a falling out between Jansen and Monk that has coincided with this bad run. All is not well. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
