Top of the league, 7 points clear of 3rd with 9 games to go... we just need to hold our nerve.

we have a big 10 goal difference over Fulham too so it's worth a point so in effect an 8 point gap. just avoid defeat to Fulham in the 6 pointer and we have enough easy looking home games against Luton, Barnsley, Stoke and Charlton to get the job done. That said the way they are playing at the minute they look capable of going down to Cardiff and getting a result, the defence is back to what it was pre blip.

What pleases me is less the results, although they have been great of late, but it's the resilience of the team. Nearly six games without conceding. Grinding it results, and coming through a bad patch.

I think if we get something from the next two games we are pretty much there

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Mar 07, 2020 9:25 pm  

17 clean sheets this season, which is the best in the country.

The Cardiff game almost derailed our season last time, so we have to get a result next week.

Excellent result today and a reasonably good all round performance.
Wonder if we will see Augustin or Poveda this season?
Question to the stats men.
When was the last time LUFC and Leeds Rhinos were top of the league at the same time?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Mar 07, 2020 11:12 pm  

Poveda looks a poor signing doesnt he.. strange one. Cant even get on the bench. I think theyve one eye on next season with JKA. We're buying him if we go up. Lads talented but not fit yet.

Last time both @LUFC and @leedsrhinos were top of their respective leagues, September 11 2009.

I can't link to the tweet as it's a protected account but this guy knows his stuff.

Poveda is 19 and was Jack Clarke's replacement, should we really be that surprised that he isn't in the squad? He signed a 4 year contract, he's one for the future

Within touching distance now. Beat Fulham and it’s almost pretty much done. *touch wood*
