Can't see us getting anything other than 3 points v WBA.
Can't see Bristol City losing at the Blades either.
So top of the League Tuesday night.
It's written in the stars!!

Interesting that both West brom and brizzle are also in the play off race.
Pompey used their 12th man very well today, silenced the best and loudest fan's in the world, I think it would be a good time to start using our 12th man to the same effect on Tuesday, it won't be an easy game against the baggies.

Win on Tuesday and we’re guaranteed to go top, for at least 15 mins.

It needs to be electric. Everything needs to be on point.

Let's get it rocking. Top of the league with 9 to play.

UTC.

I wouldn't want to write off West Brom or Sheff Utd at all. Both always capable of getting results. WBA got a draw at Elland Road last week!

Championship leaders on the 4th May is the only thing that matters.

Albion are quietly in good form and have been in and around the play off picture pretty much all season, although when we played at The Hawthorns I thought they were poor tbf. (Notwithstanding our ludicrously disallowed goal!) Tuesday is one very tough game for sure! Coventry's form and meteoric rise under Frank has overshadowed Albion's steady progress as well as that of Bristol City who are also handily placed at just the right time, on the shoulder as we enter the home straight (as they say)

Steady on, steady on.

It'll be tough against WBA.

Some Leeds fans were declaring themselves already promoted, we don't want to be going down that line.

Our 3 toughest remaining games are West Brom home Coventry away and Blades home. So 3 points on Tuesday would be a great start to our last 10 games

That Coventry one looks a nasty little fixture. If we win that and don't lose against Sheff Utd then I feel pretty Confident. We might be in third but if I had to choose any of the 3 at the minute I think I'd go for us as a neutral.

We are the most rounded and Consistent side now and confidence must be higher than at any other point in the season. We just have to keep Cullen and the full backs fit though, that's vital.

One game at a time

0-0 on Tuesday night

3 points against West Brom would be enormous. Not getting beat would be just good enough to be acceptable

West Brom going well BUT looking at their away stats I`m more confident

P18 W4 D9 L5
Last five away DLLDD

Recent form is even worse, Last ten away, drawn 6 lost 4 0 wins.

WBA are never an easy opponent and they'll be looking to firm up their play-off aspirations, so its "one game at a time" for me. Three points would be huge, and would put pressure on Leeds to get a result on Wednesday. It does feel like we're coming to the boil at the right time, so fingers crossed!

Darnell Furlong suspended against us after his sending off on Saturday, that's their long throw merchant missing.

They are appealing it.

Don't know if it's just my imagination but it feels like we've had a few games this season where a win would put us top and we've played badly in all of them.

West Brom will play for a point. They’ve drawn more games than us so far this season. Ideally we need an early goal.

A point for WBA would keep them in the playoffs no matter the other results. That’s a good point away at a team that hasn’t lost at home. It’s more important a win for us than them.

I’m still furious about the perfectly legitimate Anthony goal being ruled out at their place.

Hope we smash them! Would send a great message to the league.

Anyone going bi-polar on the West Brom game does not understand the football league. West Brom will offer a real challenge for us but if we play to our potential and get an even bounce we will win. Even if we lose it is just three points, same as the other games. It will be a tough game and not one that decides the season, however it ends up.

The Anthony goal at WBA was ridiculously ruled out by the referee
Without VAR we are not the only team robbed of goals in Championship games
Yesterday at Portsmouth Leeds were robbed of a clear penalty by Referee Jones early in the game and probable sending off of the Portsmouth player
Al teams get dreadful decisions not just Burnley

I hadn’t realised that other teams get bad decisions too.

In that case I won’t get frustrated with the ones against us in future.

Pete, I've noticed you seem to reference Nostradamus quite often

One of the amazing things about sport in general and this league in particular is how going top, or with a chance to, leads to nervy performances whereas when chasing there can be a sense of freedom.

Will be tough tomorrow.

Should be a cracker though. I’ve had to sell my tickets again due to the distance and work, but wish I was there.

I hadn't realised but given the predictions on here it seems pertinent.

Personally, I base all my predictions on Corporal Frazier from Dad's Army - 'We're Dooooooooooooooomed'

I only remember because I had to google it when you once used his name haha
Every days a school day

Darnell Furlong's appeal has been unsuccessful, so he's missing tonight's game.
