Technically speaking, we went down on gd but if we'd only lost 1-0 our gd would have been the same as Luton's (as they only won by one goal). We would have been relegated by scoring fewer goals. I'm still traumatised by that day so I don't know why I'm discussing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Cellino's been banned for most of the season, hasn't he? The league couldn't have done Lids a bigger favour if they'd tried.

Or perhaps he's realised he has a decent manager in charge and has decided to let him get on with things.

And I don't know anything about the Cellino/Radrizzani relationship. But Cellino not being at Elland Road regularly must surely be an unequivocal boon to Monk.

Yes, very likely Gets a bad rap on these boards but I do rate Monk...clearly has something based on his time at Fulham and limited stint so far at Leeds.

Ipswich have lost fewer home games than us this season - just 4. Their problem has been too many draws. But a draw wouldn't be enough for us if we then lost to Fulham, if Leeds win both their games.

Owling Wolfe Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We're breaking all the hoodoos this season, not won at QPR for a long time - Corrected, not beaten Derby for 10 years - Corrected, not won 5 on the trot for 10 years - Corrected now we just have the Ipswich hoodoo to overcome. Believe my friends, believe. UTO WAWAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk has no plan b in my humble opinion , got found out at Swansea and is now getting found out at Leeds, his only game plan is cross it to wood for him to score . Would not like him here . Rowett will also get found out at Derby soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely they'll turn in play off form now against a team that has been in the top six for most of the season. If anything I'd be wary of mid table sides with nothing to play for, pressure off, just go play. Monks no fool and he won't treat any of the next four games differently to one's against the NUFC and Brightons of the division. And that's why you don't count your Easter chickens before they're out of your chocolate eggs. Anyone can beat anyone in this league. Folk saying all we need is a win etc should remember how hard each win can be. We're in a decent position but until it's confirmed I'll be keeping little LMC in my pants. JV, what's the score with the season ticket refund shenanigans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never counted my chickens but I would expect a team challenging for promotion to get something from a game against a team fighting relegation and having being at the game, Burton certainly didn't turn in play off form more we awful but to be fair we've been awful for a while now. We'll probably finish with 76 points minimum which shows real progress for us and Monks done a terrific job season, just to still have something to play for with 44 games gone is a luxury I've not had for ages. Usually the last 8/9 home games are dead rubbers. Anyways, barring a miracle, its all over this season but, having said that, it really does leave a sour taste, having been in and about the top six for so long, to suddenly surrender our position in such a tepid fashion. A lack of proper investment by the owners being, once again, our Achilles heel. Not bothered about the refund to be honest, the club could keep the £100+ it if i thought it would go towards player investment. So, over to you guys. Having had the foresight to see your injury problems easing and a decent set fixtures coming up, before the Cardiff game I took you to be promoted at best odds 9/2 with bet365, £150 on to comfortably pay for next years season ticket and a little drink as well. So, of course, I'm wishing you good luck in the play offs, not sure you'll need it till you meet Fulham but good luck all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
