So, a Leeds win or a Draw on Monday?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 9:55 pm

Draw takes points off both teams, but a DL win puts Blades in closer reach.

What do we reckon?

Head says Leeds, heart also says Leeds

Draw. Leeds always have a bad run at some point in this league.

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:04 pm

Draw that’s two points each they won’t be able to get this season in the run in.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:04 pm

Leeds win.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:04 pm

Match abandoned for match fixing and both docked 9 points works for me.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:05 pm

0-0 draw with both teams losing key players to injury will do me

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:05 pm

Draw. Always a draw when these questions get asked. The least amount of points possible to rivals

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:05 pm

Draw.

Only chance we have of winning the league I think.

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:07 pm

Yep take a draw

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:20 pm

Draw for me too, you never know what'll happen in the run in.

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 10:24 pm

Draw please

If there has to be a win then Leeds, as we still have to play Sheff Utd so can (must) take 3 points off them.

On no account can Sheff Utd win.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 11:24 pm

A Sheffield United win won't be a good outcome at all.

Bit like Leeds beating Sunderland.

Burnleyareback2 · Post by **Burnleyareback2** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 11:24 pm

Leeds win would do.

But does a Sheffield win start the Leeds wobble?

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 11:26 pm

DL win ... off to wash my mout out with soap now ...

Anonymous Claret · Post by **Anonymous Claret** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 11:54 pm

Draw first choice
Leeds win second choice

blatherwickstattoos · Post by **blatherwickstattoos** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 11:59 pm

Draws we will catch Leeds

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:02 am

I don’t think we’ll catch Leeds. Even a draw for them puts them five points clear of us, with a far superior goal difference, and they don’t look like slipping up.

Best we can hope for is second, so I’ll still want a Leeds win.

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:28 am

We've won this league enough times in the past decade, I'd take second, so I'm going for a Leeds win.

Don't get all this 'Leeds always have a wobble' different coaches and players they are going well, and still haven't scored against us this year.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:29 am

Draw best. Then Leeds win. Best to stay in range of both, just in case.

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:30 am

Don’t care, it’s about what Burnley do from now on in

Darnhill Claret · Post by **Darnhill Claret** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:34 am

0-0 or 1-1, but however it ends, we are still going up, hopefully as champions, but I'm not actually fussed, how we get promoted.

JR1882 · Post by **JR1882** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:35 am

Leeds win as I don’t think we can catch them. They win and score with far more regularity than us.

A draw puts them 5 clear of us with a superior goal difference so a 2 game swing assuming we continue to win and they have only lost 3 out of 33.

Sheff have a tough run too, Leeds, an in form QPR away and then playoff chasing Bristol & Coventry as well as the Derby against Wednesday - they are catchable.

Not impossible, but statistically unlikely.

dvalley69 · Post by **dvalley69** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:52 am

What's certain is we don't want a Sheff Utd win. By the time we play our next league game at Cardiff they could be potentially 8 pts clear and Leeds 7 (with a win over WBA). That's the worst case scenario psychologically with only a game in hand.

AfloatinClaret · Post by **AfloatinClaret** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:54 am

Draw for me... We're looking to finish Champions!

LoveCurryPies · Post by **LoveCurryPies** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 7:15 am

Leeds have had a consistently strong season and deserve to finish top. We only need to finish second for automatic promotion and a Leeds win will keep us just 2 points behind Sheffield. It’s going to be an interesting match!

Best to judge at the end of the season who deserves to finish top.

Why do they currently deserve to finish top when they have the same number of points as Sheffield United (-2 deduction).

The table never lies and they only deserve top spot if they get more points than anyone one else.

Leeds win for me, but I understand people saying draw too.

Sheff U win would be bad.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 8:56 am

Anything but a sheff United win. I can see the positives in both a draw or a Leeds win.

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:07 am

There's no bad result really, but draw is the best as it spreads the fewest points around.

Ptangyangkipperbang · Post by **Ptangyangkipperbang** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:08 am

A draw it's better to have two teams to be able to catch than just one.The less points both clubs pick up the better

We really don't want that.

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:34 am

Yeah, but Leeds would only be 4 points ahead of us having suffered a demoralising defeat, and we know how fragile they can be.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:38 am

A draw.

That would have them both looking over at us.

You know a week ago I felt a Leeds win was the best option. Im back to a draw now. I think we can catch both sides.

Lip · Post by **Lip** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 10:09 am

Deffo a draw for me. Plenty of games left .

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:21 pm

While my preference would be a Leeds win I'm not going to be unduly bothered at the result because I'm expecting us to end the season strongly and get one of the two places

59claret · Post by **59claret** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:23 pm

A Leeds win gives us much more chance of getting above Sheff U and claiming second place. We don’t need to win it done that got the t shirt!

Because they have scored so many goals. Not relying on 0,0 draws for their points.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 5:13 pm

The worry is that it may be in Leeds’ interest to lose the game as it would leave us further from an automatic promotion place.

Burnleyareback2 · Post by **Burnleyareback2** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 5:25 pm

Draw- Utd scoring in the 96th minute would hopefully kick start the annual Leeds wobble.

Stonehouse · Post by **Stonehouse** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 5:57 pm

If Sheffield U don’t win and we match their results and beat them on the Turf we’re pretty well certain to go up ,if they win then it’s out of our hands.

Row x · Post by **Row x** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 6:13 pm

Leeds win, let's concentrate on getting above Sheff utd..2nd place will do just fine.

taio · Post by **taio** » Sat Feb 22, 2025 6:14 pm

…but Sheffield United would go above them and Leeds wouldn’t increase the gap to us.

I can see them taking a draw. Keeps them top and it’s another poly on the board. I don’t see how it’s in Leeds’ interests to lose though.
