Leeds winning tonight.. 19:54 - Jan 24 with 1700 views | ChampionsofInnsbruck | In some ways won't be the worst thing. It might be good for Southampton, who are growing stronger with every game, I feel, to start feeling the pressure from both sides if that makes sense. They have had a run where they will feel like they are going to get promoted, but every time we have managed to squeeze ahead of them again. Leicester still has a bit of a cushion, however, that could change, because on their day Southampton and Leeds could both be top, and Leicester aren't unbeatable. Having a four-horse race for automatics does put pressure on everyone, if anything we have the least to lose given, that we haven't spunked a fortune on our team, and our manager will stay in place whereas failure or a dramatic drop in form for any of those 3 will result in a sacking. We have had a wobble, but we have some decent fixtures coming up and I do believe we'll have a couple of new faces for them as well, so we should be able to match the points we have won against most of those teams already anyway. I know it sounds a bit weird, but sneaking into an automatic spot could well be doable because I don't feel any of those three will be as resilient to a dip in form now, as we have been, so while we may not have the star power, I would say in terms of leadership and having a "team" mentality we have an advantage there. | | | | |

Until we play them Norwich are irrelevant to us. [Post edited 25 Jan 8:22]

Who? I have no interest in the teams in this division other than those challenging for automatic promotion. | |

i'd usually agree, but with them only just outside play offs, the more games they lose the better. | |

no obviously, but can't see them stopping any sides around us, so just got to happy with a 0 for them | |

Anyone can beat anyone on their day. If Norwich continue their form so far for the rest of the season (highly likely) they still won't be anywhere near us, and will also likely miss the play offs. However, if they manage to flukily pick up points off any of the top sides (as I said, anyone can beat anyone on their day), that's FANTASTIC for us. | |

I actually agree with you. If we win our games in hand we’ll stay nicely above Leeds and this is a dent on Norwich’s annual spawny shot at 6th spot. I still have that nightmare scenario in my head. | | | |
