Bluebird Hewitt Posted July 16, 2020 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.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted July 16, 2020 Subscriber 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.
Eco Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Oh wow - Barnsley almost score there off the corner. Leeds could certainly be down 1-0
Eco Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 What a great run, and it appears that it was an OG. Great run to get into position and Leeds are up 1-0
Administrator Stan Posted July 16, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 16, 2020 Own goal! Barnsley are upset about the ball going out but I don't think it went out fully. Go on Leeds!
Administrator Stan Posted July 16, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 16, 2020 Bielsa is a big lad ain't he Never noticed it before but he's on the hefty side...

Eco Posted July 16, 2020 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.

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.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted July 16, 2020 Subscriber Posted July 16, 2020 Impressed by the fake fans at Elland Road too. Looks really good.
Rick Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Come on Leeds, one more half to go and you’re up here.

Eco Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 It's over. Ugly game but Leeds have won 1-0 Congrats @Lucas
Administrator Stan Posted July 16, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 16, 2020 (nearly) job done @Lucas!
Lucas Posted July 16, 2020 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+ Posted July 16, 2020 Subscriber 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!

The Artful Dodger Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Wigan Athletic 8 Hull City 0. Was pissing myself at half time. I hope we don’t stay up.
