    I believe 6 more points will be enough to survive . Well the last 2 games have been incredible it looked after the villa game Leeds were down and out , now the players are showing their fighting spirit all under and directed by the new manager Jessie Marsch Leeds players , fans an management are marsch-ing on together , a win against southampton and watford could be enough.
    Whats your thoughts how many points are needed ?
    Can Leeds do it and survive ?

    Looking at the table now and based on points per game average the bottom 3 should be:
    • Burnley 30 points
    • Watford 29 points
    • Norwich 23 points
    So in theory Leeds would need just 2 more points for safety so 31 points should do it but very simplistic. Based on same criteria Everton will get 36 points and Leeds will get 37 points

    One more than the team in 18th finish up with.

    Keep going as every point could be vital.

    £2m per league position so getting to 14th would mean an extra £6m for the club

    When it becomes legal, rather than opinionated sports personnel giving their opinion, we won't pay a cent.

    Using same criteria for Marsch as he is averaging 1.5 points per game we would get 41 points :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I would prefer Norwich, Watford and Brentford.
    Two reasons for this is less miles for the faithful to travel, and the other is I put them three down for a relegation treble months ago.

    I'm still painfully aware how **** we were against Villa and Wolves and how poor we are at converting chances to goals.

    We are still not out of it. There's some work to do.

    There is mate and sometimes whether you're at the top or bottom, you need that bit of luck to go with the effort, we've been in short supply of it up to now, perhaps it's our turn for some.

    Be lucky <ok>

    I think we'll be safe now and we'll get another 8-10 points

    Every point will be vital as we cannot rely on goal difference.
