Saw 2 Brighton fans in Buckland road chippie last night (yea yea I know) . they said Blackburn gave them one of their hardest games of the season. going to be far from a walkover on Tuesday thats for sure.

Agree, by no means a given

Realistically those games against Wigan and Rotherham really should be 6 points though. All the other games will be tough

Agreed I do think we'll beat Blackburn due to being at home but I don't think we'll get anything from Norwich or Villa.

Forest and Burton are scrapping for their lives so I wouldn't bank on a win in either game. Burton may be safe by the final day but I don't see them taking it easy. It would be a carnival which would make for a great Inflatables day.

Norwich have an unbelieveable run in ...... they play just about everyone with something to play for or lose.

Yep - in order for them to have any chance of getting into the play-offs they will have to do us a favour or two (as well as beat us).

My personal view, we'll see:

Wins v Wigan, Rotherham, Burton
Draws V Blackburn, Forest, Villa
Lose to Norwich

Leave us on 82 points and possibly finish 3rd.

Leeds fans whinging about team selection on Twatter - perhaps Monk fancies his chances in the 4-5 playoff.

@Maffff still going strong re-tweeting the Leeds fans twatter comments - they're starting to brick it about play-off prospects (although I think they'll still be up there)
Like this:

@LUFC WHAT IS GOING ON LEEDS???Have you been told to lose games???You should be smashing teams like these!!!We will be out of playoffs

Bit of a goal fest in the championship tonight.

With that heavy loss by Wigan looks like we could be playing two fixtures against already relegated teams in our last 6.

And this:
People saying we have an easy next couple of fixtures? Preston just won 5-0 and Newcastle are contesting to be league champions... #lufc

Wouldn't it be magical if Leeds somehow didn't make the playoffs?

It would indeed - many saying they are a 1 trick (Wood) pony;
Think we showed on Saturday that if you stop that source, they are nothing

It could only be bettered by Brighton some how managing to finish 7th.

Brighton 3rd and Leeds 7th would be the ideal, followed by a tight play off final win for us over the former, courtesy of a triple deflected hand ball offside goal by Kermorgant in the 94th minute.
