Cracking game this and nowt between Leeds and Hull.
Cracking game this and nowt between Leeds and Hull.
It seems the 12.30pm KO slot is our (Ipswich) nemesis as much as our Norfolk rivals. A poor game in my view, Ipswich didn’t show up really. Our winless run in the Old Farm continues! At least Leeds slipped up too, still a long way to go.

Leeds very lacklustre today, conceded two sloppy goals and looked lacking in urgency. Meslier is a good shot stopper but very flappy when off his line and could have prevented both goals today.That said, always likely Leeds would hit another poor patch so hopefully that's it over.
Farke will stick with Paddy even though he looks short of pace and confidence, with Joseph as an impact sub. I'm fine with that but, not for the first time, he should have made changes at HT rather than 65mins.
I was hoping we wouldn't need to beat Southampton on the final day to secure promotion but I'd probably take that now, although I'm standing by my hope that Ipswich will tire on the run in, even if that's the last 6 games
It’s not as bad as it could have been for us with Ipswich losing today but a great day for Leicester.
Whatever happens in the coming weeks, the playoffs are going to be extremely tough for the team that finished third!
Aren't they always - every game is a cup final!Originally Posted by Dave+63
Then again, with our record in playoffs, we've got nothing to fear. Oh, hang on a sec...
I said I'd take 16/24 points over the last 8 games so that's 11/12 coming up hopefully!
'You go up'.
'No you go up, I insist'.
'No you first'.
Just need the boys in white to say “well, if you insist!”
Probably not going to happen though.
They really need to sort out the penalties for breaching FFP/PSR rules. It's crazy that clubs can knowingly choose to break the rules and incur penalties on the basis they might be better off in the long term by doing so. They need to move to an in-time month by month reporting system with binary penalties applied and no scope for appeal.
On that basis I'm hoping Leeds and Ipswich go up!
Every game is going to be difficult.
I'm hoping that the speech Stuart Dallas gave in midweek on his retirement will drive us on today.
Well…. That was worth the 500 mile round trip…. Although I’m enjoying Plymouth in the sunshine this morning
Feel sick desperately wanting a Leeds win
It’s so tight now and recent results have almost brought Southampton back into the mix. With both Leeds and Leicester still to play though, they’re going to have a big bearing on the result even if they don’t manage yo get into the top two themselves.
'No, after you.....'
So disappointing for Leeds...seems a lack of pace in the passing. No runs behind defenders..with the pace we have that is a joke. All the top three are pathetic at the moment...frightened to win. Desperation in the substitutions made too...we had Piroe, Bamford and Joseph all on! I'd almost root for Southampton ;).

I think that the biggest mistake Farke made was in who he took off, rather than who he brought on.
Well, I did think Rutter deserved the benefit of the doubt after his season. He can make things happen....you could see the frustration in his face. I think he is the kind of guy that can have 89 bad minutes yet one moment of magic changes the game. It was a surprise.

I think that’s us in the playoffs now.
Massive win.

Yep…. Think you’re home and hosed…
Southampton to win the championship I think 🤔
Blimey Southampton scoring in Klopp time.
i was hoping for the same.......
so the top and bottom clubs seemed to forget who was which at the weekend.
Amazingly bad main results although a couple of late equalisers prevented it from being a total disaster for my lot (despite rolling over at Hull).
Bristol with a 111th minute penalty equaliser scored by an ex QPR player may be our saving...... but plenty of twists and turns at both ends over the next 3 weeks and don't want to rely on snookers!

Southampton slapping Preston currently.
My FIL (Preston fan) travelled down from Lytham (Blackpool) to watch this. Gonna be a long and quiet coach ride back
They have to be right back in the mix now?
Well strangely if they win all their games (which include Leicester and Leeds) I think they'd go up. Madness.
Still incredible that they managed to lose at Ipswich despite absolutely monstering Ipswich in that match and I reckon that would be the result that kills their top 2 chances.
I'm sure nobody would fancy them in the play offs though.
Edit looking at the fixtures Leicester have 3 of their last 4 at home so they should be fine to go up.
Leeds have 2 tough away games then Southampton. Ipswich 2 away games but against teams that look like they'll just miss out on the play offs.
If I was a betting man Ipswich will falter, Leicester will be OK and then it will be Leeds vs Saints for the final spot on the final day playing each other!

It’s all to play for…. The only team I’m confident in is Southampton….
Although we have West Brom who can’t really miss out on play offs and won’t want to get injured (I hope!)….
This season never fails to surprise.
Bloody Hell, not even half time and it’s 2-3 at Boro, it’s quite a first half!
Ugh…. You’re still hanging on…
Easy three points.
Yeah, walk in the park!
Yes - just another quiet, humdrum, boring Leeds game.
I get the feeling Leeds will roar back into this and win. I hope I’m wrong!

I’m not so sure, QPR have been much the better team. Looks like it’s your night matey.
Looks like Leicester up, Leeds to join Saints in the play offs
I think Don Goldman is going to need counselling after this one
Oof….
Congrats 🍺
Thanks QPR, you were magnificent!

Congratulations to Leicester.
Ta!
Been nice joining in with everyone on this thread…. But, I guess I’m banned now!
I’ll miss no VAR!

Yes, VAR is the negative about promotion to the EPL.
Up the tigers tonight to at least make Ipswich nervous

No match going fan likes…. Takes the edge of goal celebrations
you're welcome.
that was a great display which goes to make ridicule of our league position, but then we go and lose against our fellow relegation rivals, making them look like CL contenders! This manager came in when we were favs for relegation and with modest squad adjustment in January has basically refloated the titantic; we were that shite!
Leeds mates were worried about Bamford being out, although he rarely does well against us and has said he hates Loftus Road. The match stats seem to give the impression it was mainly Leeds but that goes to prove that stats are BS. I thought we marshalled the game very well and were worthy of the win.
having no midweek game probably assisted us too as we are prone to cocking up or doing a no-show after midweek matches and Leeds had the ding dong at Boro.
another point regarding last nights game and not one that I take any pleasure from sharing but feel needs to be shared....
our stadium was renamed in honour of Kiyan Prince, a former youth player stabbed to death in a playground whilst defending a friend being bullied in 2006.
his father Dr Mark Prince OBE set up a foundation in his honour to help try and prevent knife crime amongst children and has worked tirelessly since. Whilst talking to the crowd at half time about the foundations work and trying to raise awareness and funds the Leeds fans got bored and started booing him. This was audible enough for him to challenge them over the mike and get shouted down by the home fans.
Given this is the very same club that recently stopped a game to applaud the memory of 2 fans stabbed to death in Turkey, any Leeds fans there last night who took part in this are an absolute disgrace to the club and humanity in general and should be utterly ashamed of their behaviour.
This is a massive game for us and such a hard one wanting the scummers to win.
I think a draw would see us safely in the playoffs
Pitch
There is hope!
