Forest win their game in hand beating Luton and join the chasing pack.
Sounds like the Leeds board funnily enough - obvious nerves showing here as well as on our board,
Leeds haven't learned the lesson from last season of needing competition up front - Bamford is pants - scores one in 15 chances FFS.
Happy for you guys to go clear TBH will concentrate our minds hopefully.
Our next Four games - Millwall home, Wigan Home, Forest Away, Brentford Away... gulp!
I think the problem is that before Christmas Leeds and ourselves were in a false position. For me neither of us were 10/11 points better than the top 6 teams at the half way stage of the season.
What we both did was manage to win games one way or another. Now we are drawing those games and Leeds are doing the same and sometimes losing those games as well. Penalties are being missed, decisions and lucky breaks are going against us both, we are hitting the woodwork when before they just went inside the post. We are conceding unlucky own goals when before the ricochets we’re going out for corners. The result is that the gap has been considerably closed.
There isn’t a lot between the top 6 and where we are now is a far more real comparison of the various clubs. Just hope the tide can turn back in our favour tonight and we get the 3 points because momentum and confidence are so important at anytime of the season but particularly at the business end. COYB.

What a nicely reasoned post even if I don't necessarily agree with it. Before our recent dip in form we had only lost one (Leeds) and from what I saw and read only one team (Fulham) had been noticeably better than us on the day so I say we were 10/11 points better. I also saw weaknesses in those below us as lack of managerial experience (Fulham) squad size and resources (Brentford, Preston and a few others.)
Still think it will it is us and Leeds that are best equipped to go up. Just the small matter of making it so!

N’then this league has a funny way of sneaking up on ya and biting you on the ass eh?!
Long haul to go yet J the nerves haven’t started yet ;D Like us I think you have a decent manager and a strong squad to see the season out, out of the mix at present I would like to see both our clubs up.......in our hands.
I wouldn't fancy many of this squad cutting it in the top flight.
