Massive week for us.

Could only watch as everyone around us won their games and closed right in last week whilst we rested up and twiddled our thumbs.

This next week will potentially shape our season. Bolton Saturday, QPR Tuesday, West Brom Friday.

We absolutely have to beat Bolton. If we don't, do we really deserve to go up?

Lost Kemar Roofe for a sizeable run of games which is a blow, but this is where Bamford has to shoulder the burden.

Ideally, I hope we can come out fast as we're fresh, get an early goal and force Bolton to come out.

Knew Bolton would raise their game today. Just knew it. Rolled over for Norwich but looked like they relished playing today.

They dug in, defended reasonably well and looked a threat when hoofing the ball in the box. Yes, they are a limited side but you wouldnt say they were the 23rd worst team in the league.

And we made bloody hard work of getting the win. Didn't get in behind them enough, everyone bar Pablo Hernandez looked to run out of ideas when near the box. No speed, a little laboured going forward.

That said, we found a way. And that is how it seems to be for us now. Every win we are proper grafting for. No game is coming to us on a plate. 

Onwards to QPR now. At least that's one less game of the season left.

A draw for us was respectable considering we were down to 10 men (a common occurrence this season). 4 wins and a draw from our last 5 is very respectable. We are going to miss Ohman in the next game though. He has been so good in the air for us defensively since he signed.

Absolute massive game in hand for us tonight at QPR.

We always knew after the Norwich defeat we had three 'winnable' games before West Brom at home. We managed to beat Swansea and Bolton at home, not it's QPR away and one we feel we really have to get three points from in order to gain control of our destiny again.

QPR have had seven league defeats on the bounce. They have lost to Norwich, Sheff Utd and West Brom in that time. In true Championship fashion, everything points us coming untuck tonight.

The worm has to turn for them eventually. Clubs do get pumped up to play us as we saw with Bolton the weekend, and I feel like QPR will be a different animal for us tonight.

A lot, as always, depends on the skill and guile of Pablo Hernandez. He is our biggest creative threat. And in Patrick Bamford, we've a striker starved of game time this season who is getting fitter and stronger and should be chomping at the bit to have his say in our season. These are the kind of games he needs to step up and be the difference for us.

I just hope we have enough to win the game. Every match is vital now, we are as close as we've ever been. I don't want to see us blow up yet again, not this time.

Yep...knew it.

Demoralising defeat and one that will hurt. We missed two glorious chances.

This picture sums it all up how we're all feeling tonight. Never seen him like this.

We've been up there for so long. We can't let heads drop now.

We. Must. Not. Give. Up.

Huge games coming up for Leeds. 

West Brom, Bristol City and Sheff Utd. Get some points out of those and they'll be fine. Lose all of them and that's a big chunk of momentum gone and confidence shattered you'd think.

Awful loss, but 12 more matches, and time to still finish in an automatic spot. 

Hate to see this photo, honestly, but hopefully Leeds can turn it around and get back on form.

Leeds are absolutely going to bottle this.

So poor at home to the worst side in the division on Saturday (a goalkeeper error and a refereeing farce does help the top sides from time to time) - a loss tonight, and Norwich and Sheffield United are flying. Easily the two best teams we've played this season. 

Leeds's best chance in a decade and I'm still certain it will go tits up.

Sad but true. I'm resigning myself to it. Good things just don't happen to Leeds.

The fans really don't deserve it. Back this club to the tilt. Would be a major kick in the teeth.

Surely Leeds won't fuck it up!? I think Boro will have a good run of form and sneak an automatic spot.

After an amazing January and also winning MOTM and POTM and looking like maybe getting a playoff spot our season is now over and we're not even in March. Now looking towards next season.
