Plus dunk will miss 3 games I'm sure of that
Well at least someone's enjoying it.What a cracking league this is
It's goner be so up and down you'll be biting your nails for a couple of months
It will go down to the last few games I'm sure and whoever makes the top two will thoroughly deserve it that's for sure....the epic season of 2016/17 never ceases to amaze me
3 real quality sides battling with enormous pressure week after week
Actually I would call our lead 5 points as our goal difference is far superior.
Thanks, I'd managed to forgot about that for a minute.Plus dunk will miss 3 games I'm sure of that

It has been a 3 horse race for a while, ever since Hudderlona seem utterly incapable of losing, or in fact drawing games of football.
Their momentum needs to stall and it needs to stall soon.
The frustrating thing is we're not even doing much wrong, the only mistake has been allowing them a points swing by turning us over. I still think that game should have been handled much in the same way as Hull last year, for any poor souls that came along. We went for a point and were good enough to get one, likewise I think we would have been at the mcalpine.

As others have said, Huddersfield are playing some cracking football and if they do go up automatically they will have deserved it. Hopefully it'll be with us!

Good point. That can only help you'd think. Although whatever the outcome of our next 2 games they'll have that game in hand. 3 points from these 2 home games wouldn't be a terrible return - 4 very good - 6 dreamland IMO...

If we get past the Leeds game still 4 points clear I'll be very happy.
Our last 8 will be against teams with nothing to play for or who are in a relegation battle (don't buy the 'but they'll be fighting for their lives argument' - they're down there cos they're shit and our record against bottom teams is good). If we didn't get through that run of games with a 4 point cushion, it'd be a real shock.

Great result for town. Terrible for reading
Well it is starting to shake out now and it is really looking like a 3 horse race...remember hudds beat Newcastle at their place earlier in the season...I still say it is in our hands and where before I wasn't bothered really about Newcastle at home as I wa more interested in the pack...this now changes the game.

If they make it I wouldn't be grudge them
Back to losing in the play off semi final.
The gaps between buying Defoe and another year in the Championship are getting shorter.

Are you pissed? I tried to find a 'tear hair out' emoji to represent my mood but couldn't find.
I'm more or less terrified now. Huddersfield aren't going away so we need to win, win and win some more, which is a big ask when we have two very tough home matches come up. Four points from those games is now looking like the bare minimum. I guess we will know a lot more once the Reading, Newcastle and Honey Badger results are in.

We are 4 points clear of Hudds, 5 if you count the goal difference.
I know which position i'd rather be in. We are firmly in control of our situation and i am very confident we will see this out. Fancy us strongly to beat Reading too.

Not quite. We need to match Huddersfield's results each time out ( in fact we have 4 points contingency ).
Starting on Saturday. Put anything beyond that into the 'not worth stressing over' box.
Match or better Huddersfield's result on Saturday and the table looks good.
This is all that matters. Its what we do rather than the results of others
