Re: REPORT: A horrible afternoon at Elland Road

I too love the Championship and I probably watch more games on TV from that league, than Prem. My fear is, if we can't get back, and the chute money runs out, then we will be well and truly in the do-dar. But that's a long way off and I hope it never comes to it.

Re: Be totally honest

At the moment, I can't see us ending the season with anything close to 26/28 points. My only hope is that we pull off a couple of shock results in the next four games and get 4 points. This would get our season right back on track. Hope dies last, as they say.
