Yep. 87 points to win the league that season, Hull on 79.

I think it’s better in baguette form as the bread to crust ratio is perfect, if its in a bloomer type bread theres too much bread and not enough crust

Wish her good luck! On a side note: 32 is an extraordinaryly young age for a manager with the highest possible licence!

tiger bread is underrated

Crawley vs MK Dons first leg postponed

That was the season we went up wasn't it (2012/2013)? Think we finished on something like 87 points for further context.

Julen Lopetgui to be announced as next West Ham manager, according to Fabrizio. If so then 4 out of 20 Premier League managers next season will be from the Basque region. On top of that, all 4 managers will be from the Basque province of Gipuzkoa which has a population bigger than Manchester but smaller than Leeds.

I always felt it was a bit of both, I remember watching Burnley on the opening day thinking their defence was far too naive. Just watching the goals of that City game back, at one point they were defending in a flat 6...it's all well and good having players back but if they're still allowing the opposition the chance to run through acres of space then it's pointless. To stay up you have to be able to counter-attack, and that generally involves defending well to begin with lol. Thomas Frank almost perfected the counter attack for us, Fulham have a physical defence, sit Paulinha in front and then have the physicality of Mitrovic, Willian and Perriera on the move. Forest have only ever defended the last two seasons and then have relied on the likes of Gibbs-White, Awoniyi, Johnson and Hudson-Odoi to exploit the space. Look at why Bournemouth stayed up last season and why Wolves have been so good, O'Neill plays a brand of football that looks to invite opposition forward before firing through balls behind their defence for their forwards to run onto. I just think Burnley came into the league too attacking, almost too pro-active. If Ipswich do the same then they will definitely go down, but if they can adjust their style to be solid at the back, set up on the counter then I think they may give people some problems with how interchangeable their forward line is.

Hoping the Palace boys help us out and beat Yanited. We control our own destiny now and we need to be looking to winning out the season. It was incredible to see Pope and Joelinton back which is big for us in the run in. I'm not sure why Lewis hall was not played more, he has been very good, I'm not sure on the reason why we waited so long to play him.

Jesus, did not know that. Mental. Not sure if we'll ever see another season like this one again. Any other season we'd be up, any other season. All feels very Leeds like. I think Saints will win playoffs as well. Heartbreak loading...

18th 15th

A great week to have my lowest OR of the season. The last eight games is what's done me in. I gambled on Championship teams not making it to the quarters of the FA Cup once the round of sixteen was drawn so used two boosts early. Next season should be more interesting. Hopefully with less FA Cup replays we will have less double gameweeks and boost strategies will be all over the place.

Quite strange to think they just left the youngest team in The Championship without a manager from when this thread was created in mid-February. They went from being six points off the playoffs to finishing seventeen behind.

Well what a job he's done. A 13th place finish and conceded in single digits. Pretty unthinkable when you think where they were before he came in. Pretty hard done by not to have won MOTM in April when you think of the improvement they had under him.

To put in context how good Leeds United have been, the season when we were all saying "How is this Hull team sleepwalking in to 2nd this season?", they finished on 77 points.

History suggests with Sheffield United, Southampton and Norwich that they should. Its not as if Bournemouth, Wolves and Fulham have set an incredibly high bench mark on what's needed to compete for a top half finish in modern day football. I guess they'll need to get the balance right with the recruitment so they add quality but don't disrupt dressing room harmony. Funnily enough I was giving Gary Neville's podcast a listen the other day and back in October he did an interview with Craig Bellamy. Neville asked Bellamy if Burnley would adapt there style if results didn't improve, and Bellamy stated its not the style that's the problem, it's how quick they are to regroup that's letting them down as there's too many pockets for teams to exploit. So it's something they've been working on for some time and just haven't nailed it

Just read that Nicolas Jackson has scored more non-penalty goals than Cole Palmer. Maybe he should have taken the penalty against Everton.
