Leeds vs forest

[stss30]

2-0 Leeds. Another corner.

Doesn't take a ****ing rocket scientist to work out what you need to practice on the training pitch before playing them you would have thought. 3 corner goals and a penalty in their last 2 games.

 

[symyjym]

Oh well

If they are 6/8 points or so behind us time we go there on March 18th their crowd will be rabid

If they beat Blackburn and we lose to Huddersfield...they'd be 6 and 8 points behind. Although if we beat Huddersfield I can't see anyone catching us as would have cleared out four tough games.

And we'll have a game in hand and superior goal difference

 

[The Camel]

I think people are over estimating the goal difference advantage.

If 4 games are lost (which is what is needed for Leeds to catch up) by an aggregate of 6 and Leeds win 4 games by a total of 8 goals, the GD advantage will be just 1.

 

[Paris]

Forest and Bristol City are sleepwalking into league one.

But at that point in time they may only be 4 or 5 behind Newcastle.........

As I've just said above.

Leeds catch us, there is no GD advantage especially when we fall apart away to Leeds.

However beat Huddersfield and can't see us not taking another 9 wins with the bottom half table all to play except Cardiff.

Well yes . . . if we're suddenly shit you mean?

People are talking like the GD advantage is like an extra point.

And it isn't, that's all I'm saying.

 

[theboybilly]

Leeds have just beaten a side who are in the 2nd worst form in the division (and have only beaten the worst recently). Leeds won't catch us.

 

[Exile]

What I'm enjoying is the BBC live commentary page. We got a game update every 5 or 6 minutes last night but the mighty Leeds have another comment praising how wonderful they are every 90 seconds or so. Which of course is as it should be for such a massive club

Tbf, ours was the live commentary on R5 last night.

When we fall apart away to Leeds? You say that like the result of that ones already decided

Now, can we return to reality please?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

And Leeds have to go to Newcastle still. If they win that, well, Newcastle will have dropped 3 points.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Leeds? Oh.

Well considering last seasons events ...can you not see there point

 

[Triggaaar]

He understands that GD can be worth an extra point, but he's explaining that if Leeds catch us on points, there might not be much difference in GD (due to the fact we'd have to lose games while they're winning games).

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Morover, if Leeds do go on this mega winning run, as the table stands, it is Newcastle they stand to catch, not us.

So we don't need to worry then - sweet.
