    Bamford scores just before half time. 1-0 to Leeds. Wednesday had some good spells but didn't capatalise. Always felt they looked vulnerable though and playing a high line.

    First half was pretty even. But this half, there's quite a difference; Wednesday aren't in it at all.

    That goal difference is an extra point too if it came down to a close run in. Fair play to Leeds, they've been phenomenal this year.


    Am going to wash my mouth out now, I feel dirty saying that

    That games gone & it’s a bit of a stretch for us now. Leeds on a roll. Saints stuttering & even it we get it together we have to rely on the others failing. I always remember someone saying better we lose the autos with a number of games to go so we can reset & be ready for the playoffs. Looks like that’s coming to fruition.

    Yeah Leeds to me look like winning the league outright.

    And they haven't cheated like Leicester.

    We need to prepare for the playoffs. At least we won’t be facing Leeds. Last game going to be a celebration match for them.

    I've said for ages that I don't want to face Leeds in the play-offs. Indeed, out of all the top three, they are the side who I would want to face the least. Hence Leeds helping their automatic chances tonight is no disaster.

    Don’t disagree but the last bit is a something about straws.

    Let’s be honest, Sheffield Utd have more chance of being in the PL next year than we do

    I don't think so. Us finishing in the play-offs with Leeds is the last thing I want.

    I mean, I'd rather we finished 2nd and avoided the play-offs altogether. But that isn't happening. So I hope that it will at least be us in the play-offs without Leeds. Yet right now, there remains a real possibility that they won't get automatic.

    For all their attacking quality, Leeds' defensive record is amazing. Just 28 goals conceded (and seven of them came way back in August). I think only six times have they conceded more than a single goal.
