We have 11 games left – let’s say we score 1 point away and 3 at home. That would get us 21 points.

Okay, we may have some slip ups, but i’ve put Leeds down as getting 1 point against both Yeovil and Gillingham. I’d expect us to get more than 2 points from those 2 games, so that should cover us if we have any shocks.

Let’s forget Norwich and concentrate on Charlton – our nearest rivals.
They would have to get 26 points from 11 games to finish on equal points. They are -10 on goal diff, so would really need to get 27 points. And when I was putting the Leeds points together I counted Charlton as getting 3 points against us. If Leeds could keep a clean sheet against Charlton, then they would need 29 points from a possible 33 points.

If Colchester won their game in hand, then they’d need 27 from 33 as well and Millwall would need 31 from 33.

Fair enough, Leeds might not get 21 points from a possible 33, but I really can’t see Charlton getting 27 from 33 either.

If you’re a betting man you wouldn’t put any money on Leeds not getting promoted.

For example, if Leeds got a win against Southampton, then Charlton would need 29 from 33 by my reckoning and that’s just not going to happen.

Bookies have made us 2/5 to get promoted. So you have to put down £5 to win £2.

Final score 1-4

Sounds like some clinical finishing was in evidence?

Where are we going to finish O wise sage?

Err… yeah right. Sorry to sound like a big head but to all those doubting SG, Becks, Becchio, McSheffrey & Howson, I think someone predicted that Tranmere would get battered…Oh yeah that was me

“I think we’ll absolutely batter Tranmere. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets a good hiding from Leeds. If Leeds get a goal in the first 20 minutes, you watch those floodgates open. I’ve just got a good feeling about this game.”

If I see one more post this season having a pop at Beckford I’ll seriously do my nut.

This is a big game, and there’s going to be so much pressure on Beckford to get his shooting boots on. And Howson, Snodders and McSheffrey (YES MCSHEFFREY!!) are starting to look on form.

SG knows this is a big one and I hope that Leeds put the effort in from the first minute rather than having to get a rollocking at half time to decide to start playing.

My prediction is 3-0 to Leeds.

Tranmere have a small swquad so our best option is to tire them out as there isnt anything on the benc. my vote would be to play Doyle and Kilkenny in the centre, with howson sat out on the right, combine with Snodgrass on the left. Becchio and Beckford continue as strikers, but as mentioned bring on Gradel, McSheffrey and Johnson to frighten the living daylights out of them on about 75 minutes. Defence should be as Saturday.
