Have to say Ipswich deserved that by scrapping. With all of Leicester's quality in their squad I thought they were disjointed.

We’re inching there & plenty of time. Last 2 games; 6pts for Saints, 4 Ipswich & 1 Leicester. Keep it going Saints. We’ll get there
Ipswich are 20th in the form table, over the last 6 games, with 2 losses and 3 draws.
They never seem to give up which is reflected in the stat Sky showed about points from losing positions.
2 of their next 3 are against Preston and West Brom. Preston were decent against Leeds and WBA seem to be 50/50 win/lose.

Yeah. From 9 March onwards, our fixtures finally get more difficult again. But between now and then - which is still quite a fair bit of football - it's Leicester who have the most difficult fixtures on paper. Us, Leeds and Ipswich should be looking to rack up the points. Whether it's enough to turn 1 from 3 into 2 from 4, we'll see.
Leeds v Norwich
Watford v Leicester
Ipswich v WBA
WBA v Saints
Leicester v Boro
Saints v Hull
Leeds v Leicester
Sunderland v Leicester
Fantastic result. I want 1st.

Yet they are still ahead of us after same amount of games, so we are very close but still not there yet.
Just shows how impressive they were at the start of the season.
don’t get too high when you win or too low when you lose. Advice you probably heard and ignored every week of your life.
It’s a real thing that fans aren’t keen on a return to the prem. We just get used to winning every week and then it’s back to playing the oil barons. I’m with you, games, we win and no VAR has a lot going for it. Unfortunately it doesn’t last and next season we will be weakened by the best players leaving, lower wage players coming in and three new prem teams coming into the division with parachute payments just like us. Bummer.
Next up on the race for the autos:
Leeds v Norwich tomorrow at 19:45. Win this and they'll be 1 point behind us. Sure they'll have played an extra game but gives them a chance to apply pressure to both us and Ipswich.They then play away to Bristol City on Friday 2nd 20:00 before us and Ipswich play our next Championship games on the Saturday, meaning that if Leeds win that too they'll leapfrog us both and sit in 2nd on 60 points (albeit having played 2 more games), and we'll be back down to 4th. Crazy given the run that we've been on. Neither are easy games for Leeds, but if they are going to maintain their challenge for the autos they need to win both and I think they will.

We'd still be in an around the top 6 though I'd imagine. I don't see us suddenly becoming Stoke and we'd still win more games than we would in PL.
And no VAR will stil be a thing hopefully and that cannot be underestimated.
I think it's win win now personally. Either we get automatic promotion or we have the excitement of the play offs to look forward to.
Tickets booked for Mini Lincolns birthday for West Brom away. First time we've managed to get away tickets this season!
He's also asked for clothes and a new phone. It's kind of sad he's not about picking up stuff from Smyths toy superstore anymore
