10PTS CLEAR OF THIRD PLACED LEICESTER!

Wasn't very good football today.

But look at the bigger picture - we are 10PTS clear of 3rd!
Happy days......

Spot on Merlin. A realistic viewpoint. Autos is the aim and of course it would be lovely to win the league but the aim should be getting out of this division whether its first or second. Hull winning today could be the best for us to be honest. If us two clubs start pulling away from the chasing pack they may get disheartened and accept that its the playoffs for them this year. The closer they are to Hull, the more they will believe they can go up automatically. Us two clubs need to keep widening the gap.

I've got 2 serious issues with this post:

1. I've got £20 on Cardiff to win the league!

2. I've just placed a £2 cheeky on Wednesday to win as I couldn't resist the odds of 11/2!

Please think of the bigger picture before posting such drivel. My wife needs shoes and my kids need clothes so please.....think before you type!

Sorry - don't follow your logic at all. The more points between us and 2nd place the better.

The gap between us and third is more important to me. If Hull are also miles behind the team may get complacent and slip up. Better to have Hull right on our tails to pressure us into performing to win the league whilst maintaining a decent gap over third.

Leicester home is going to be massive

Agree! A game we need to perform. Never mind win.

Lets hope Chris Woods is suspended or injured.

Exactly 1 month today that game is. What is good is that we have Blackpool next week then 10 days for Malky to work the transfer market and get players in to train before competitive play.

I would rather us be way out in front at the top, and let the others worry about 2nd/3rd

So would I but the point is all we need to go up autos is to get more points than 3rd. We can deal with the championship once we know we are garunteed promotion

I can see what you mean - but to get promoted being the most dominant team would be better in my view - and also reduce the amount of times that city have me a "bag of nerves"

Agree with you. Can't see any benefit in Hull winning tonight. Drawing now

I think I saw DJ smile - but it may have been wind

Lennie Lawrence once said 'never underestimate the value of a home draw'. Proved right today. Hull, Boro and Palace all lost. Leicester doing well, but can they keep it up? We're 8 points clear of second, and 10 points clear of third. Important we don't loose home to Leicester, draw would be OK. 4 clean sheets out of 5 games. 13 out of 15 points. Frustrating today, but how many sides win 5 in a row in this division?

Let the rest of them fight among themselves for second place.

We need a striker though. Could make all the difference.

Let's hope their keeper isn't too badly injured as I'd like him to play a lot more games

10 pts clear means that our rivals only have 16 games to catch us as we have 3 wins and a draw already in our bank
adf

Sounds good to me Merlin, you old magician you.

in many ways it would have been nice to see the wurzels win, but hull loosing at home put a smile on my face

i would have taken 10 points clear come the start of the season

If anyone can find any negatives in our league position they are mad

lets not worry about leicester/hull/boro etc,just take each game as it comes and concentrate on getting behind malky and the boys who have done bloody marvelous to be where we are

Rest assured malky will get players in and we will go from strength to strength,believe in him

If we keep picking rudy and playing like we have been and leicester keep smashing teams thanks to their brilliant new signing chris wood then that 10 points will go in next to no time.

Malky needs to act in this window or I can see it ending in tears.

or if rudy scores the winning goal (AGAIN) in the next game and liecester lose there next game and woods breaks a leg and liecester get 3 players sent off and hMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmm

or if rudy scores the winning goal (AGAIN) in the next game and liecester lose there next game and woods breaks a leg and liecester get 3 players sent off and hMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmm

My scenario is more likely Comical Troobloo

this week leicester and chris wood are going to stop us,last week it was zaha and palace,next week it could be somebody else
we havent been playing well but have been consistently picking up points and winning games unlike every other team in this unpredictable league

agree with you about rudy polo hes not good enough to start games,but malky will bring in players before the end of jan
