First win in 9 for Leeds against the might of Blackpool overnight, 3-1. Not sure how much of that was them being useless and how much was us finally having a clue.
Hate international breaks.
:) normally that would be a yes from me.. however Derby took us (wolves) to the cleaners 5 nil and we have major injury problems with no depth...
Derby look to be a real chance to go up automatically this year. The reports were they were clinical and yes, Wolves were bad, but Derby were very very good.
Still very even comp both up top and down in relegation with only Blackpool gone IMO.
Interesting post on another site about the Championship points. Handy for those who aren't too familiar with the ways of this league and don't know what'll save you from relegation!

Leeds got around 7,000 away fans going to Blackburn this weekend, normally underwhelming performances comes with the huge away followings in recent seasons but 3 poins would be big with a new manager looking to push upwards from here on
Forest showing signs of life again, but this is what we do. Highly promising, then weeks of rubbish, then tantalizing fans once more. Still well in touch with yhe promotion zone but im not holding my breath. Maybe Lansbury has finally come of age. That’ll help.

Sal, i wouldn't get too excited. the wolves are rubbish and a rabble at the moment. I reckon their form over the last month would have them on the bottom.
Leeds have won 1 in the last 10. Typically still optimistic of a late playoff push. Don't know why I kid myself each year. Fking ■■■■ of a league.

Same position here. 10 winless games in a row, have won our last two. Its all really familiar unfortunately.

Nah, not getting excited mate. I'll take the win and move on. If we can string half a dozen together i might start to get up and about again, lol.
Leeds all too familiarly touched up away from home after luring us into some false sense of hope beating Derby last start then taking a one nil lead in the opening minutes. 4-1 Ipswich. Not sure who's more frustrating, the whites or Essendon.
No, more frustrating are Wolves on a four game losing (thrashing) streak and then being up 1-0 over Bournemouth… Only to lose two men to weak straight red cards and then go down 2-1. The chairman had to apologise after approaching the refs after the final whistle… It’s the wolves of old in the championship this year

Hope the Wombles stuff Liverpool.
20 games in and it’s amazing to see Ipswich only a point behind Derby (and therefore in second place). Can’t go counting chickens with so much of the season yet to run, but automatic promotion would be brilliant.
What a FKN goal by Sheff Wednesday
Been avoiding saying much in here, Leeds one point off bottom, just outside relegation. Just need to avoid that damn drop.
Middlesbrough take the win… Very hard for wolves now, Ipswich on the weekend is now a must win.
Insane finish
