They have nothing to lose as they are now big outsiders I think playing at ER in a must-win game will incur a lot of pressure on the Leeds team. Imagine what it will be like if they start playing badly or go a goal down. Norwich have a bad away record but they recently won at Preston, no mean feat. They also beat Championship title chasing Brighton in their last match. Leeds are big outsiders but there's a reason for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich too have nothing to play for yet apparently we could quite easily slip up there where as you have pretty much given leeds the 3 points. You and I clearly have a differing views on this and we can argue it until the cows come home We have a cr*p record there so it's not a given, though you seem to think it is. I think Leeds will win both matches, however I am not convinced we will win both of ours. Instead of carrying this on, why dont we do the obvious thing and wait and see what happens... In the end one of us or maybe neither will be right! Edited April 23, 2017 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks ago the Leeds fans were debating who they wanted in the play-offs as though it was an absolute certainty they would be in them. After all what could go wrong with Wolves at home and Burton away in the next couple of matches? They're not playing like a side you'd expect to win both matches and were very lucky to escape with a draw at Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got walloped yesterday and I think the gravity of what's at stake is beginning to figure. They last played in the Top Flight in 1970 and haven't been remotely close to a return, whereas us, Fulham and Leeds have slightly more recent experience. Its got to be a factor Edited April 23, 2017 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have been through this you don't get too cocky . This. 100%. Several games earlier we had played Spurs with the (outside) opportunity to get to 7th in the table with a win. A few weeks later we went down. Until the points are in the bag take nothing for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Irvine he's not done too badly at Norwich, 7-1 against Reading, and wins against Brighton and Preston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are also very simple for us, but I think we have had the hardest run in of all the teams involved. I still feel that there could be a nervy last day.

Yes but in fairness Monk has been given time Irvine has got off to a decent start ..he often does, but it falls off pretty quickly. There is alo no pressure on him at Norwich at the moment and with that added in I still fancy Leeds to win. Cellino maybe learning his lesson - we'll see Edited April 23, 2017 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
