[quote="leeds owl":eb4d8vwx]Don’t know about anyone else but I’m feeling a lot more confident about automatic after the last 3 games. A goal difference of +13 is phenomenal over that run of games. We were pretty solid throughout the team there, despite not having our usual dominance on possession. The thing that pleases me most is that we’re playing with a real unselfish attitude, mostly making the right decisions based on the benefit of the team. Bring on the Mackems. Only poser is does Rothwell come back in for the home game instead of Gruev ?[/quote:eb4d8vwx] Cracking performance, and i thought Watford had a good go also, they have some decent players. That Checkvertazde is a good player, i'd have liked us to bring him in as an option at 10. Some fabulous goals. They could lay a glove on Tanaka in midfield, i just can't beleive how little we paid for him, we had Dusseldorf's pants down. Gruev covered a lot of distance and helped control their midfield. I think you will see Rothwell in most home games though, depending on who we play. If they are likely to sit deep and defend for 90 mins he deffo plays, if they will come and have a go, Gruev goes in there.

[quote="DMF":1naeorpk]We are going up. But I am absolutely dreading it in the PL. I don't think we have the structure to stay up. We certainly do not have the players. Hopefully we spend decent money (do we even have it available?) on some rea quality who can keep us in the PL for the first season and we can build from there. Though I am absolutely dreading it.[/quote:1naeorpk] Nothing to dread if we go up. We've got a totally different ownership model now with serious £££. As Tad says, we're the 6 wealthiest club in England with the 9ers (now it just depends on how much of the purse strings they open or can open that will be key). FFP in it's current format caught out Forrest but they snook through it and now are very well established). I think we will have enough ££ firepower to stay up and our home form will be key, Elland Rd will be on fire. I'm confident we can get up automatic now and i think the players are too, but, big next 3 games coming up. If we come out of those in good shape we're as good as up. I'd say 7 more wins gets us at least 2nd place. That win also last night really sends a message out to Sheff U and Burnley that we are going to take some stopping, it will have knocked them both.

Wish I had your confidence!

Another dominant performance and a win in London too! Look a cut above Watford who we were breaking on at will last night, they just didn't have any answer to our counterattacking, could've had 8/9 last night. Some great last min defending and some great shot stopping by Meslier to keep them out. Tough little run of games coming up but we must be sky high confidence wise after our ongoing run (Cup aside)

Away at the min so missed the game, seen the goals tho, 2nd and 4th goals were beauty’s!

Perfect away performance with quick counterattacks after absorbing greater watford possession of the ball which is unusual for us. Farke playing Gruev for Rothwell in away games key to it as he sits and covers better as a 4. Going out of the cup also means no rearranging of the WBA game so we can get three games against contenders out of the way quickly and an easier run in.
