Both times they've got late equalisers against Leicester.

So annoying as we still can't get into 2nd.

Even with this form its proving tough to catch up.

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.

Having a look at the fixtures then I think it'll be fascinating to see what the points totals of the top 4 are come the beginning of March.

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

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.
