    Leeds really look like possible champions. They just go for it. Saints would go 1 up then just fold second half. Big difference in attitude.

    TBH if you took Leeds out of this game and replaced them with Saints you'd be saying we were all over the place at the back.

    It's a lot easier to "go for it" though when you've got Summerville and Gnonto in your side. Both players are way too good for the Championship.

    Class from Summerville. Surely game over now.

    Leeds not sitting back, trying to defend a narrow lead. 4 goals away at the Boro, we managed 1.
    GD of 12 over Ipswich.

    Out of all top four sides, Leeds have the least "identity". Which I think is a reflection of the four managers. But instead they arguably have the most individual skill and class - and that's why I would fear them more than anyone else as a potential play-off opponent.

    And tonight is a good example. Boro have played well, they've been the better side. And then out of nothing, Summerville does that.

    Yeah I def want Leeds and Leicester in the autos.

    Ipswich are very beatable, these two are a different level

    reserving judgement until after tomorrow. If Leicester are on it and look to be heading into good form I’ll be happy to face Ipswich.

    I consider that "offside" goal was the straw that broke the camels back, it all went downhill from there, they just threw in the towel, knowing that they were not going to get anything going their way.

    Hull keep their season alive for a few more days.

    They will need a favour from either Swansea or Wednesday. But if they were to get that favour, then Hull v Ipswich becomes massive at both ends of the play-offs.

    Leeds must want the playoffs, judging by the first 15 minutes of their game with QPR. 1-0 down.
