Our Nearest Challengers (3)

[9goals2hattricks3pen]

We do have 8 out of 14 at home (win em and were up imo) which would usually be massive but as we have garnered 35 points away (best in League) and 27 at home (9th best) it ain't necessarily so.

A win tomorrow would put us nine points clear before anyone else kicks off. It would be a massive psychological boost, but we are Albion and we never make it easy so i expect us to draw at best.

If you count the goal difference we’re equivalent of 8 points clear of third place.

With just 13 matches left that’s a lot for chasers to make up.

If we win 6 draw 3 and lose four to gain us 21 more points that’ll effectively make the gap 29 points if you include the goal difference.

That’ll mean that Fulham,Brentford are going to need to win a minimum of 9 matches out of 13 and more likely 10.

Basically the chasing pack below Leeds can barely afford to slip up more than once in the remaining games.

Not losing today or to Fulham or Brentford is another important factor.

Can we spot another 6 or 7 wins from the remaining matches.

Home.

Wigan,Blues,Hull and QPR should really be bankers albeit our home results have been very patchy against “”lesser” sides and Derby are no great shakes.

Away.

Sheff Wednesday

Swansea

Huddersfield

These are not the toughest of away games.

We’re just as likely to win at Bristol City or Brentford as we are against a poor side because we seem to be better away on the counter attack.

From third downwards they have a hell of a lot to do and some will play each other.

We need to play our game and keep our nerve but the defenders need to wake up.

So basically you're agreeing with my post?

Fulham and Brentford both dropping points in the last 2 days. Time to make the gap larger

[mickd1961]

Leeds 1-0 up at Hull.

Gap could be down to one point tonight.

2-0 Leeds. Looks like their recent wobble is now over
