I agree their fans would bring an edge and will sell out all away allocations but I don’t think they are the pull they once were, fans won’t be clambering over each other to get tickets for the Leeds game.

We’re in League One and a game against Leeds doesn’t interest me, played them a fair few times in recent years - winning most of them, same for a lot of the sides currently in the PL.

Think the Leeds game was our 2nd lowest home turnout of the season and it's meant to be some sort of derby apparently. Nobody gives a fuck about them at all no more

Another thriller at Carrow Road - but the home side miss out this time.

I still reckon Sheff U will seek it into the top 2.

We are misfiring at the moment. One defeat in ten, or one win in five. Not playing at all well. Five points adrift, but given our slow start and a few unlucky moments in games, we could quite easily be on the top six.

Sound a good atmosphere again today?

Yeh another great atmosphere at BL during the 2nd half but only because of 2 sendings off to get the crowd going. When our fans get angry about the ref or the opposition it seems to spur our players on. It’s funny how we often make more noise booing than we do cheering.

Goodison Park is like that.

So is Ashton Gate, often takes a poor refereeing decision to get the crowd going.

Leeds lost 2-0 to Hull. Saw that coming a mile off. Good luck in the play-offs if you make it Leeds.

No, just been telling Kev not to get his hopes up all season. Just looking out for him.

Think Leeds are different this time, all teams lose now and then.
My top two bet would be West Brom and Leeds

Hope United can keep hanging in there, but our up and coming away games include, Norwich, Leeds, West Brom, Villa, Swansea, not to mention the unpredictable Sheffield derby

That's going to be tough

I’d go with Leeds and West Brom as top two. Leeds will not mess up this season.

Leeds’ problem is that they can’t keep relying on 90th minute comebacks. That’s the last three games where they’ve been behind.

Can't see Norwich keeping it up, they concede way too many goals. A lot of it will come down to who does the best business in January, anyone of the top 6 as it stands can mount a push for the top 2.

Don’t think we’ve got the consistency to trouble the top 2, would loved to be proved wrong obviously. Great having loads of young lads run riot at times but with their age comes inconsistency.

Top 6 would be massive and I’d be chuffed with 6th place.

We're identical too you , I agree and would also take 6th place to be fair.

ffs we've done it twice in a row for the first time this season, the other 17 or so games we've won well before the 90, think you mean Norwich pal

Exactly, you’ve done it twice and lost the next two. Can’t keep falling behind and hoping to get late winners. You’re conceding too many goals, as are Norwich.

For what it’s worth, I do expect you to hold on and finish in the top 2 but it won’t be comfortable, Norwich not so much.

Couldn’t make today, but from what I seen we looked very tired, but all teams are. Another bad result, and no spark. For how much I like Hutton, he’s a big weakness at the back with him always caught out of position. Still think we will probably scrape the play offs, but need our talisman back, and a couple of defenders.

Two defeats on the bounce, but should in all honesty be four. Yet you still look comfortable. Need to up your game slightly but you’ll be alright. You played well today by all accounts .

think we need fresh legs, or give Jack Clarke a start (what a youngster we have there) man city sniffing around him rumoured

I’m with you on this. They get paid enough, but there are some heavy legs out there. They don’t know what proper tired is mind.
