Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Lucas said: Wow. It's just after lunchtime. Top v Bottom today and I am feeling the nerves. On the outside this probably looks a banker to most. The amount of messages and conversations I have had with people since Sunday have mostly consisted of 'You've surely done it now' and 'You got easy games left'. Firstly, these people underestimate the Championship. It can bite you on the ass at any minute. As someone at last year's Wigan game at home, a game we were 1-0 up in, opposition down to 10 men, never lost when leading a game under Bielsa and Wigan never winning an away game all season to date, to lose 2-1 and see us lose our automatic hopes was crushing beyond any means. Barnsley are in dire straights. They have to win. These scenarios can sometimes bring the best out of teams and I for one expect a very difficult game today. Yes, if we win, I think I'd start to believe it. We should get a point from the last two but we absolutely must win today. We have had to keep being the last team to play after WBA and Brentford and to date, we have handled that pressure well. That's not to say we can keep doing it. No Kalvin Phillips either today which for anyone that watches us will know how important he is to our system. Honestly, feel proper nervous and I hope to god we can have enough today. This will no way be like Stoke, this will be a slog. You'll piss Barnsley I think, even without Phillips. I know the Championship is always a league of surprises but I really am struggling to see a Barnsley result here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted July 16, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 16, 2020 Come on Leeds and good luck @Lucas. 20 minutes in and the possesion stats read as 72/28 in Leeds favour but no goal attempts for them yet. Barnsley have had one chance but it was off target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Leeds up 1-0 at HT. IF this result holds, it basically promises Leeds automatic promotion, and it will definitely mathematically eliminate Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsley have 6 points to play for, 4 points behind. Leeds are pretty much done though. Happy for @Lucas. Just hope Brentford beat West Brom to the 2nd place.

Lucas 3,827 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hahahaha. Bloody 'ell. That was so uncomfortable. I knew we'd struggle. The shape of the team was just all wrong. Bielsa nearly keeled over at one point he was that irate. Sheer guts won us that. Barnsley deserved all three points to be frank but that was their problem in a nutshell, don't take chances. One more bloody point. Just one. That is it and we are promoted as Champions. The bubbly is going in the chiller tonight ready for Sunday, but just incase WBA don't win tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted July 16, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 16, 2020 It's ridiculous how long it's been since Leeds have been in the top flight where they belong. I can't wait for next season to see them there again. 1 point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
