FK Bielsa v Norwich

[ŽižkovClaret]

2-0 to Norwich. Lovely

[Devils_Advocate]

Watching this and its a really good end to end game. Both teams look better than us and wouldnt be surprised to see the pair of them above us in the league this time next year

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Leeds had most possession but Norwich have scored 2 beauties on the break
Super stuff

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Both have very suspect defences

Leeds often do. But they also often concede on the counter. Hull d*cked them with superb counter attacking football.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Leeds have it in the net but disallowed for hand ball

Good stuff.

[ElectroClaret]

Very entertaining first 45, that.

[Buxtonclaret]

Such a shame for Leeds, eh...

If we stay up and Leeds don't go up, I'll buy the local social club all a drink. The problem is, they're Leeds fans, so I'll have to just say I'm in a random jolly mood.

[theroyaldyche]

Ill put it out ther

None of these 2 teams will be promoted

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Think Norwich might , others like WBA keep slipping up when expected to win.

Think Norwich might , others like WBA keep slipping up when expected to win.

What I've noticed this season is when Leeds slip up - lose or draw, the rest of the teams closely behind also drop points. Take today - it's looking like Norwich are going to win and go ahead, but yes, shock horror .... WBA mess things up.

This happens every week. That will be why Leeds go up - the rest just aren't competitive enough.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Get in again Norwich 0-3

[ElectroClaret]

Dirty Leeds ship a third.

[FactualFrank]

Norwich score with fewer chances. Leeds prance about with it and create less.

Sheff Utd in third place won WBA got beat off 5th place so not sure today was the best example

[Garforth Claret]

So looking forward to work on Monday

Sheff Utd in third place won WBA got beat off 5th place so not sure today was the best example

You mean *beat. But recent weeks, honestly, just look at how the scores have gone. I'm seeing pretty every week that Leeds do badly, the teams around them have dropped points. The other teams don't cause them much harm at all.

[FactualFrank]

Leeds get a goal back.

I know they're a lucky team and I know they get decisions when it matters... but 2 goals in 2-3 minutes? Surely not?

I know what you mean in a wider context but thats the beauty of the Championship as its so topsy turvy. Just though today wasnt a good example of it

I thought there was something incorrect here.

WBA got beat by Boro.

[Devils_Advocate]

Just my English. It meant to read Sheff Utd won today. WBA got beaten off 5th place (boro)

Edit: I wondered what you were correcting when you put *beat. You read it as me saying Sheff Utd won WBA not just Sheff Utd won.

[FactualFrank]

Just my English. It meant to read Sheff Utd won today. WBA got beaten off 5th place (boro)

Yeah but Boro weren't 5th before the win. If you look at WBA and the goals they score, they're a team much more likely to challenge Leeds - yet they lost, which benefits Leeds. Which goes back to my original point - these are the sort of scores that happen when Leeds lose or draw. They go the best way possible. Annoying.

[Rileybobs]

I still think Leeds will come back and get at least a draw here.

Who was in 5th youve lost me?

[FactualFrank]

Who was in 5th youve lost me?

Actually, you might be right in that they were 5th (I didn't check the GD). My point though was that WBA are the team most likely to challenge Leeds (outside Norwich of course) - and they dropped points. And that when Leeds drop points, so too do the teams nearest them.

Sheff Utd won. Lets just park this conversation but like I said I do get your general point

[FactualFrank]

Yeah, too many beers I think. But I've defnitely noticed over the last few weeks, when Leeds have dropped points, the teams near them have also done. Like you say, you get my point.

I'd hate for them to come up.

"Let's just park this conversation".

There has been little doubt as to the biggest waste of time on this board with the need to live up to a ludicrous persona but this puts the tin hat on it.
