Would like to see 14 points from those 6 games which if we are going to get promotion is do able imo.

I'd say we need to win at least 9 more wins to go up. We can't afford too many slip ups now.

I think 8 wins should be enough. Particularly if we can not lose to Sheffield utd or west Brom.

There's a lot of tough looking games there, but a lot depends on who is on what run of form when. We have Bristol in a few weeks who are on a run, but most teams have runs then drop off, like Hull. It's hard to tell which games are going to be the tough ones in this league.

Think we are sitting 3rd as it stands now with WBA beating Villa away from home breathing down our necks.

Big wins for sheff utd and Norwich today. Got to give credit to sheff utd manager he's doing a superb job. They've recruited well also. Norwood should have been at Leeds. He's a class above Phillips

Both Norwich and Sheffield boosting their goal difference too.

As we should against Bolton at home next week after that today and a week off.

It's about time we drubbed someone. We don't score enough in games we've yet to hammer anyone. Just hope Roofe not injured for long. He's having a scan on a knee injury....

Be lucky to see Roofe back anytime soon unfortunately.
The injury curse is certainly hitting hard this season especially harder with a very lightweight squad.

Really praying lack of investment in Jan doesn't haunt us come season end....

I know at the risk of sounding negative but from what I have seen I still don`t think we will make the top two.
Like you have said lack of investment and a thin squad won`t help in this league.
Other teams in the top 6/7 have strengthened and brought in experience to see them in with a chance.
Sheffield for instance with their current strike force brought in another striker and were able to leave Sharpe on the bench last weekend.
Brown needs to play this weekend to soften the blow of losing Roofe.

Agreed. It's absolutley criminal we didn't replace Saiz imo. We have the weakest squad out of the top 4 teams but we have the best manager/coach. It will be a very Intersting run in. For me if we don't get promoted serious questions have to be asked of the owners.

I know Bielsa is no doubt the best manager in the league.
But is there an arrogance or more likely a naivety that he can get the team promoted without adding to the squad?
Has he been knocking the door down insisting he needs more players?
I personally think he made a mistake admitting to sending someone to spy on all his opponents.
This gives them time to change things round every time they play Leeds.
Saying all that if they do get promoted all I have said will be drivel

He likes a small squad doesn't he but it's clear he wanted to bring in someone in Jan. I'm just frustrated with the board as if we'd have not peed about with Dan James fee we could have brought him in or at least got one other in. We'd the league if we had west broms squad.

nothing to do with the board. bielsa only wanted James and everything was agreed money wise. Swansea were at fault

Leeds should have had a plan b and had given Swansea an early deadline or we move on. We had to make sure we took no risks with the squad. I'm sure bielsa wouldn't have turned down a couple of quality additions.

I think people get so caught up in the Bielsa thing to be honest. If we do choke and don't go up, personally I would put all of that on Bielsa, not the board. He is quite stubborn in what he does, and is fixed on the choices he wants to make, whether the board had put alternative signings to him or not. There is no doubting the positive changes he has made, and hence the god like status. However, there is also a reason he has never won anything.

Personally I think the board though should have over ruled him and made the signings required, rather than what the manager wanted, in this particular case.

you over rule him he walks. simple
his choice.stop moaning and get on with it. in our hands

Like I said, if they choke he is to blame.

if you think Bielsa is the reason we wont get promoted you should go support another team tbh

Well done on not reading something properly. Come back when you do.

I believe he only walked from his job in France because they broke their promises on transfers

and Italy?

Another three points onwards to Tuesday v QPR. Back down to level second with Sheffield beating West Brom but the gap between 2 and 4 now 4 points. Every game is must win.

so what, it would or wouldnt be Bielsa's fault if we dont go up?
