With 25 minutes of today's matches left, things looked rosy. We're winning unexpectedly; QPR being held; Southend losing; surely Birmingham would want to salvage their automatic promotion hopes with something at Barnsley?
Such is football that everything went pear-shaped, and using to the BBC predictor, I now have us going to Pride Park needing to match Barnsley's result and relying on Southampton keeping their heads against Southend. Even a draw against Derby could see us down if results elsewhere go against us - and annoyingly, West Brom (Barnsley's opposition on the final day) may well have nothing to play for by then (except, maybe, the right to play the only side in the play-offs not from the West Midlands...) Of course, that's all conjecture if we don't win our remaining home games. Burnley I can see - and Ipswich were pretty poor beating us at Portman Road, so there is hope. St Mary's, then, is the wild card. Repeat last season's result, and Derby could be academic. But having spent the weekend optimistic, I have to admit that my confidence has slipped now, more because of other teams' results than ours... -- Richard Young Freelance writer and editor 079 4108 1739 020 8543 7135 http://snipurl.com/EFCblog http://rjgy.blogspot.com/ 7 points to go... . _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
