Dolman Exile Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Before Christmas, Leicester beat teams on reputation. Then everyone realised they weren't that good.

I guess they took the gas off the peddle when they thought they'd already won the league. Then before they realised what's happening they're panicking a bit in a three way tussle. they'll end up on over 2ppg, and that ought to be enough to get you promoted. But I'll have a chuckle if they don't go up. Edited April 12 by Sleepy1968 I'm keeping the wrong peddle in, cus it seems apt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley, Luton, Sheffield United at turn of year or Leicester? The current versions of Brentford (injury hit), Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest or up to end of 2023, Leicester. They won 4 on the bounce to mid February too..AFCon didn't help but still a deep squad, post 2-3 in Jan, some injuries but the Championship has a great habit of dragging sides back in.

cityexile Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Huge result for Plymouth. Might just be enough. I do wonder with the top three dropping points whether Southampton raise a renewed look at the table? Look a mile behind, ten behind Leicester, but two games in hand and still have to play them. Still in their hands, but now no margin for error left. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
