    5-0. I didn't think it possible, but Leeds look a better team than Brentford did v us.

    Stoke were lucky to get nil & Leeds could/should have had 8 or 9, in the most one sided game I've seen all season.

    Smoooooooooth - Another three goals please Leeds
    Not too bothered about how many Leeds score today just so long as they win. GD can be made up over the last 4 games. 
    Not if Stoke lose 10-0  :)
    I'll accept 5-0, can't be too greedy  :D

    Only caution I'd offer is the fact that what Leeds can do to Stoke, they can probably do to us
    I'm not so sure. For instance Brentford didn't do to us what they've been doing to others. We've only conceded more than 3 goals once this season.

    Don’t forget Minto goal line clearance there, when he was down injured.

    He's not wrong. Crossbar, off the line, couple of good chances just wide. Could've easily been 7 or 8.

    It'll be interesting whether Stoke can just write that result off and go again, or suffer a hangover against Brum. That game looks crucial for them

    Never cheered for dirty leeds before, but after they pissed about at the back nearly conceding and then they go up the other end and get a fifth, a shout of yeeess from me that worsens stoke's GD...every little helps :-)

    Great win for Leeds and for us, that goal at the end to make it 5 has helped us out, 2 goal difference could actually be a big deal come the end of the season.

    Leeds changed their style ever so slightly. The players had a meeting themselves, led by Cooper and Bamford, after they failed to beat Luton. They decided as a group that sometimes they have to play it long instead of always playing their way out.

    Bielsa was asked about it once they beat Blackburn, he said he didn’t tell them to play that way, Cooper and Bamford took it upon themselves to. Variation within their play now and they only need 7 points, but likely 5 will be enough for them I think.

    Looking at the table now, I feel like if we can beat Reading, I now would want Birmingham to get a result on Sunday against Stoke. With Stoke still to play Brentford and Forest, that’s two tough games.

    He's right, it could have been 8 or 9.

    Now Dont know what I want in the game  between Stoke & B'ham. A draw perhaps...?  Or should we always want the team below us to lose ?

    Was rooting for Leeds to smash Stoke which has left me feeling dirty and perverted and not in a good way. I’m off for a shower.

    I know how you feel, this will be the second game running that I want Millwall to win, although no doubt they will not. Sorry...spit....spit...I have got muck in my throat that I cannot clear  :)

    Leeds have done us a right favour as Stoke concede 5 goals !

    100% a Birmingham win.

    If we didn’t face Birmingham the game after next, I would’ve agreed that a draw wouldn’t be a bad result. However, a Birmingham win basically guarantees them safety. I’d rather they have that win under their belt before playing us.

    They’ve barely got out of first gear since lockdown. No doubt that as soon as they get their points for safety, they’ll be back on the beach.

    What do we want for Huddersfield/Luton tonight?

    Draw keeps Hudders close to us and Luton far enough behind us.
  • Huddersfield win ideally, they've got a decent enough run in that i think they'll be safe anyway so we may as well keep Luton as far away as possible.

    Draw isn't a disaster though. Luton would still be 4 points behind us with a shocking goal difference.

    A Luton win is a big problem as it all opens up again, and their next 2 games are QPR and Hull.

    Agreed. I have a nasty feeling Luton might creep up on us, QPR and Hull are both very winnable games based on form before and after lockdown!
