    So, looking at the fixtures between now and New Year, the following is true:
    • Next weekend, either Blades or Bristol City or both will drop points, and Boro or Ipswich or both will drop points - Leeds are away to QPR.
    • Weekend of the 16th, either Derby or Villa or both will drop points, and Preston or Blades or both will drop points - Leeds are home to Norwich.
    • Weekend of 23rd, either Wolves or Ipswich or both will drop points, and Villa or Blades or both will drop points - Leeds are home to Hull
    • Boxing Day, no guaranteed points dropped by those in top 10 - Leeds are away at Burton.
    • Weekend of 30th, either Derby or Ipswich or both will drop points, Villa or Boro or both will drop points, and Bristol City and Wolves or both will drop points - Leeds are away to Brum
    What I'm saying is that a little run of good results and Leeds might well claw back a little of the ground lost in the barren spell and/or put a little breathing space between us and the chasing pack.

    What do you reckon?

    15 points up for grabs. Hope we can manage 9 to stay in touch with playoffs. Might force the loosening of purse strings in January. Impossible though to predict results

    Agree who, except the deranged, would have expected Nillwall to beat the blades ?

    Most important part of our season will determine if we make the playoffs or not in my opinion. Mackies sending off for qpr today should help our cause next week.
    Heart says 12 points head says 8 think we'll win next week, draw Norwich and Hull, win at Burton and lose to Brum. Fingers crossed that I'm completely wrong and we take all 15

    Agreed.

    We need a minimum of 10 points from our next 5 games to maintain any sort of challenge.

    There have been signs of improvement over the last 2 weeks so maybe we'll go on a good run and surprise you !

    Good bit of research, Davy.

    Ever the optimist, I'll plump for 15 points. :D

    Good Morning from a bright Bardsey to Matt Eric kevin WJ and coThere is no reason whatsoever that if we are to be a top6 club we need 5 wins and I see no reason why this can't happen .The lads played better especially in the first half against a team that has cost 10 times more than our squad

    Stay strong my friend if you have a problem seek help .Its not easy I lost my step daughter to booze at 43 and by the look of things my stepson who has been one big problem since I first clapped eyes on him looks like he is heading the same way Moe is absolutely at her wits end and I feel helpless because the only way they can beat this illness is to stop drinking
