I get the ' pressure back on' comment as a fan, especially as a Leeds fan and
our history both past and recent - but the team should be fine. Everyone would
have taken needing 4pts from 3 games to earn promotion if offered at the start
of the season, more so when 2 are at home v bottom 5 teams , (one rock bottom),
and one away v a team with nothing to play for. Dont get me wrong I am a
bundle of nerves now ,and will be manic by kick off, but the team and Bielsa
know if they play anything like they can we should have enough both tonight and
in the 3 games.

I feel I'm paying the price for hoping Preston would be good enough tonight to

I've said for a while it will be Brentford plus one who go up. So big pressure
on the Barnsley game. Hopefully we can put a chance away in the first half to
steady nerves and force them to come and try to get something from the game.
The Stoke game was nervy till the pen. And Luton showed Barnsley what can be
achieved at ER, and I guess they'll also try to rile Berardi tomorrow.
I really thought the rollercoaster was almost over after Swansea, but now the
pressure's back big-time. Hopefully the players have been coached in forgetting
what other teams are doing, but judging by what Forshaw said recently the lads
will be well aware and pressurised by Brentford's win tonight (coupled with the
other two teams' winnable final fixtures).
Derby ought to be the least motivated, most beatable, of our three opponents,
as it looks as though Charlton will still need something come next week.

Let's hope Preston, who still have play off aspirations, can do something,
because I really have the jitters over Barnsley - much too similar to the 89/90
promotion when we were massive odds on to hammer them out of sight and yet
managed to lose ( us unbeaten at home prior to this and them with no away
victory that season). That was also our penultimate home game.Before anyone
counters with 'lightning doesn't strike twice ' - remember Wigan the last 2
seasons
As in 89/90 the saving grace is that even a defeat to Barnsley may not be fatal
- then It was Leicester at home ( Strachan " have you ever seen a better goal,
or one better timed") plus , of course Chappy at Bournemouth. This time it will
be ex Frank Lampards now Wayne Rooneys Derby, who are now effectively out of
the play off race and Lee Bowyers Charlton, who hopefully will be safe ( or
down?) by then. So 2 teams with nothing really to play for and no crowd to spur
them on
Weirdly writing this re Barnsley and the fact that it will not cost us
promotion makes me feel miles calmer and more confident that this time we WILL
do it

There's only been 3 for a while - Fulham had only a very outside chance.
I have a feeling PNE could do us a massive favour tonight. Brentford can't keep
winning. I'd be ecstatic if they could pull off a draw. If that happens and we
win tomorrow, we are promoted. Fuck!!!
