    If Leeds don’t win on Monday I think they are up if they beat us

    As if we didnt know already we need to win all 4 remaining games to go up automatically.

    In fact we could quite realistically win all 4 and still miss out, so best to manage expectations.

    We can win at Leicester with Che and Adam on form now but we need Flynn on the pitch.
    We'll create chances for sure.

    Ugh. Like they need more motivation. Let's beat them 0-9.

    I don’t see the issue with Leicester winning. We will win today and on Tuesday and give them a squeaky bum time anyway.

    Difference is that now need to beat them and then need them to drop points against Preston and/or Blackburn too. If they dropped points today it would have been in our hands.

    Ipswich are still in play though.

    We don’t need to finish above everyone though, Leicester were always favourites to win the league

    We just need to finish above the Team(s) that drop points between now and the last day.

    Yeah, I’m still 99% sure we will be in the playoffs but was never targeting winning the league anyway

    Yeah Leicester aren’t dropping points against either of those. Preston and Blackburn are both shocking this year

    You never know. Who'd have expected Leeds to drop points at home to Blackburn last week?

    Actually quite happy if Leicester beat us on Tuesday now. Definitely don’t want them falling into the playoffs

    Do we want WBA or Norwich though?
    We’ve beaten WBA twice and drawn twice with Norwich, but iirc, Norwich didn’t have a fully fit Sargent for either game and when he came on as sub he caused us countless problems.
    Just looked at his stats for this season and he has 15 goals in 24 games.
    Also didn’t realise he is only 24. Thought he was older than that.

    Much rather West Brom based on what I’ve seen this season. Don’t fancy our chances much against either of them tbh

    Yeah, we can lose to them and Leeds. Hopefully Ipswich finish 3rd, and again get beaten by rivals Norwich.

    Dread to think how many chances will be missed over the course of two potential play-offs matches between us and WBA.
