The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[Des Little]

Never thought I'd see the day I was wanting Leeds to win.

How do you feel about Birmingham winning at Cardiff on Saturday?

I think there's more chance of Kirsty Gallacher knocking on my door tonight armed with a chicken pathia, a slab of beer and a Luther Vandross LP but we can all dream can't we?

[SoccerHQ]

I still can't see Wolves not making it regardless of what happens tonight or Saturday. They still only need 5 wins to go up. Would quite happily take their position in the table.

"Come on Blues"
Im now off to vomit having even uttered those words

I'd be delighted to see Blose win that one, I only really want to see the Villa do well.  If Blose go down that's just a bonus.

Cardiff will be the Blues, so you can say "come on visitors". That's not so bad, is it?

[Brassneck]

Quite honestly, I would be happy if Blues won every game between now and the end of the season. It would mean defeats for both Cardiff and Fulham, as well as Wolves.

As "in exile" states, Blues going down is a bonus. Nothing comes close to our own goal of regaining our PL place.

Well put.

For me 4 best teams are Wolves, Villa, Fulham and Middlesbrough.
They have the best players and teams in the league. And all have several  players who would grace every team in championship. They also have players who can play premier league.

I can see the 3 promoted coming from these 4 teams.

Villas squad is particularly the strongest and I think that will give us the edge for 1 of the places

I think you're right on all of this.

I can imagine a lot of Bluenoses hoping they lose to Cardiff just to make it tougher on us.

[SoccerHQ]

Random thought just now but is there anyone on this forum who thinks we won't finish top 6?

Given how this forum is on suicide watch at times, there's surely someone who reckons we'll lose to Wolves and barely win a game for the reminder of the season.

We probably need 10 points to secure a play off place which is a good position to be in for the start of March.

[PeterWithesShin]

We've a 9 point lead over 7th and have a game in hand, while I still have a bit of a nagging worry we could go on another 3-6 game bad run I think we have too much of a cushion over those outside the top 6.

[Brassneck]

Absolutely no chance of us finishing outside the top 6. If we're not going to make second then we'll finish 3rd or 4th at the lowest.

Ironically 4th might be better as we'd probably play Derby in 2 legs which looks like being the easier of the 2 opponents if Boro finish 6th as they seem to be coming into form at the right time.

[Ad@m]

Yep, play offs are guaranteed but in the spirit of the "suicide watch" comment I have absolutely no confidence in us winning the playoffs.  Which will mean another season in the Championship, FFP biting hard, a firesale of the squad, a team full of kids getting an absolute battering next season, relegated to League 1 by February, Randy buying the club back for even less than he sold to Dr Tone, and National League football within five years!

Just for balance loike!

Leeds are fucking shite.
