    Bristol are on 18 points, despite a long injury list. Three of their defeats were against Leicester, Leeds and Ipswich (all by one goal), sold their best player in the summer (Alex Scott) and didn't reinvest.

    This is another playoff-chasing rival shooting themselves in the foot.

    Glad we never signed this prick in the end;

    Me too. Makes a change from the dull & safe media trained non-personalities a lot of them have these days.

    Nah it gives the opposition extra motivation, in their derbies of all games. If I was his teammates I'd be livid.

    ****housing is okay on the pitch but this sort of thing is pathetic. Hope he gets absolutely clattered.

    Yeah a bit weird to be doing that at this point of the season. Could look a right **** a few months down line.

    Leicester v Leeds on Friday night.

    What do we want? Leeds to bring Leicester back down to Earth? Or the chance to leapfrog Leeds?

    Heart says Leeds, head says Leicester.

    Obviously a long way to go but in my mind Leicester have already won the league and 2nd is the best case scenario for us. So Leicester win please.

    True. But we're only 14 games in. A couple of injuries or a bit of a lull in form brings Leicester back down into the mix.

    Can't see it. Ipswich I think will stumble at some stage - I don't think their squad is strong enough to not have a 4,5 or 6 game winless streak. Leicester will have the odd slip up but will tend to bounce back straight away IMO. So for me, Leeds are probably our closest rivals to chasing down Ipswich.

    Yeah this is pretty much how everyone sees it I imagine. But there's such a long way to go, and anything can happen. If the gap is still this big in January then I'll give up the chase.

    True but I'd much rather Leeds lose on Friday than Leicester!

    I'm not arsed about other results really at this stage. Just take each game as it comes from our end.

    What about a 0-0 draw, with several red cards on each side for 'undroppable' players? Then we can leapfrog Leeds with a win on Saturday, and (slightly) close the gap on Leicester, whilst spoiling both teams' chances of fielding first-choice teams.
