I fancy Watford to do us a favour against M’Boro next weekend too.

1 win in 8 now for Leicester, have to think Cifuentes has to turn this around really quick to keep his job.

Well I hope he does. Wins a game and gets a reprieve and then loses 6 in a row, wins a game, loses 5 in a row, wins a game ...etc etc.

 

[Tommo1993]

I think we’ll be promoted before Easter, nothing to fear whatsoever.

If we’re promoted with 7 games to spare I’ll buy everyone who likes this a pint at the Wrexham home game.

 

[MikeyMoo]

For Sheffield Wednesday to NOT get relegated would be an insane result now. They're 16-18 points from safety...

Looking at last season after 10 and 20 games…

Sunderland were top after 10 and 4th after 20, but Burnley, Leeds, and Sheff Utd, the top three after 20 and for the rest of the season were 2nd 3rd 4th after 10.

We’re 12 games in and the pre season favourites are miles behind. Even if Ipswich win their game in hand they’re 9 points behind. The team 9 points behind Sunderland after 10 games was 16th.

Long way to go but we’re starting to stack up such a lead that even with a wobble we should still be well ahead of the clubs you’d expect to come out on top over the season. Middlesboro, Millwall, Bristol, Stoke these teams will have the same issues as us of fatigue and lack of silly money in Jan.

Well it's now at the point where we can lose next week and are guaranteed top spot. Boro away at Watford next which will be very tough indeed on this week's evidence.

Fucking hell. That’s incredible.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Doesn't that look good.
11 points ahead of Leicester.

It does

Almost as good as being 13 ahead of Birmingham and 19 ahead of The Blades.

Be nice to go to the Boro away game with a chunky little lead.

I agreee. Best team we have faced this season imo. Really good attack. Defence a bit iffy, though.

 

[pusbccfc]

Birmingham have Pompey, Millwall and Boro next three...

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Who knows, we may yet go there unbeaten still. Three very different tests to come next though.

Best hope Watford and Oxford take points of them cos the other two are Leicester and Brum.

Based on their average points per game so far it will take them 12 more matches to get up to zero points.

We won't lose either home game imo, Blunts or Baggies. So the away games, Wrexham away could be tricky, I don't mind a point, I can't see us losing though... I guess Robins and Stoke is the trickiest really, they are a very low percentage team, tend to play for a 1-0. Don't think that's enough against us personally.

Actually fancy Watford to get something at home vs Boro.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Between now and Christmas gonna heavily dictate our season me thinks. A lot of tough games especially with form teams. Time to show what we are made of.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Zan Vipotnik has scored two sensational goals for Swansea today. Bloody good forward in this league

We were linked once upon a time I'm pretty sure.

Nice for Blackburn getting a result/ win, Personally I think they gave us a harder test than today's opponents.

Weve nearly won that amount this week

Not sure, if Sheff Utd had all of chavvy, ratty and fatty available I'd be concerned. As it is, just chavvy and ratty available.

[You'll Never Beat McPake]

League Cup last 16 games are played midweek. Wrexham vs Cardiff on Tuesday night. Could do with Cardiff kicking chunks out of Wrexham prior to out game on Friday night

 

[CovveeBreak]

I’m still delighting in Brum spending £25m on two strikers and can’t hit a barn door with a banjo.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'd missed it originally.

If we have an actual full team, Rudoni, Torp, the works.. we could hammer them.

Yes please, double serving of pickled red cabbage.

Back to Leicester though, it’s funny.

We’ve been showing that all season. What a time to follow the Sky Blues.

Crikey, they got him on a free from Bordeaux...great transfer

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Does anyone know the extent of Sheafs injury? Not in their squad today. What's the likelihood of him missing Friday?

Sent from my SM-S711B using Tapatalk

Even if he had played today he would still only be about 50/50 to play Friday the sick note

If you get ahead of it now, you might be able to reserve a bar in the Fan Village for SBT.
