Great goal that - they've got so much quality going forward I'd be surprised if they don't win this league
I seem to recall, that contrary to all logic, there were a good number on here who were celebrating when Leeds failed to win promotion last season.
It seemed crazy to me at the time, and nothing that's happened this season has made it less so.
Would Ipswich really have over 50 points at this stage of the season?

Put into context, it was either Leeds or Southampton at the time that were going up. As they were in the playoff final. I think Southampton had the better side so would they have over 50 points? I reckon so.

It was Ipswich that pipped Leeds to the automatic slot after they imploded.
Play-offs are always a lottery
(and for what it's worth, had Southampton not been promoted, I doubt that - under Russell Martin - they would have as many points as Leeds currently have)
