Saints Statistics har fått litt pes for å avskrive Leeds i en tweet for noen uker siden.
Vel, de fortsetter å se på run-in'et.
Og det er altså Ipswich som har marginalt lettest motand inn (pr dagens tabellsituasjon for lagene)
Championship Top 4 Fixture Difficulties, (average opposition position remaining):
🥇Ipswich Town, 13.8
🥈Leeds United, 13.5
🥉Leicester City, 11.4
4️⃣ Southampton FC, 10.53
#SaintsFC have the hardest fixtures, with #itfc having the easiest. Whilst #lcfc are running away with it, #lufc have easier fixtures and good form.
What’s your top 4 prediction?

*Dette*Georginio Rutter compared Glen Kamara to Zinedine Zidane last night.
En sentralmidtbane som ikke gir fra seg ballen...
Ilia Gruev and Glen Kamara have completed 785 out of 824 passes in the last 7 league games for Leeds United.
A combined pass completion rate of 95.3% in the heart of midfield 😳 #lufc

Completed 65 of 68 passes in the rain. Superb.

Leeds in the Championship in 2024:
Matches: 7

Goals: 17
Conceded: 1
Clean Sheets: 6
Win Rate: 100%
Points Won: 21/21
A 17-1 ratio
Når analyseavdelingen serverer deg tall som dette så tør man ta iskalde panenka straffer.
Det er ganske sinnsyke stats. Kan ikke huske sist vi så så solide ut. Var jo tiki taka fotball under Bielsa, men vi gav også bort en del mål og sjanser imot. Nå virker vi bunnsolide og utklasser motstanderne i kamp etter kamp. Er det vår tur til å ta en 25 kampers unbeaten run slik Soton hadde frem til i går? Ikke meg imot!

Southampton-sjefen med en litt mer ydmyk holdning til run-in'et enn vi har hørt tidligere...
Tror han har mye rett i det han sier:
Southampton boss sends blunt promotion warning amid 'frustration' over Leeds United form
The Championship promotion race is intensifying with a midweek round of fixtures on the way and Leeds United hunting the top two.
By Kyle Newbould Published 12th Feb 2024, 16:00 GMT
Russell Martin knows there will be no comfortable finish in this season's Championship promotion race, admitting his side are growing frustrated at being unable to pull away despite enjoying a club-record unbeaten run.
Saturday's 5-3 comeback win at home to Huddersfield Town on Saturday was their 25th consecutive game without defeat in all competitions, a run that started with the 3-1 victory over Leeds United in September. More recently, the Saints have won eight of their last nine in the Championship and are enjoying the greatest run in the club's history.
Despite that, Southampton remain 11 points off league leaders Leicester while Leeds and Ipswich Town remain hot on their heels. All four teams are in the kind of form that would almost guarantee promotion in any other year and Martin has warned his side that there will be no easing up from anyone between now and May.
"Usually, in any Championship season, if we had these points we’d be quite clear in the top two positions, which tells you how strong it's been," Martin said ahead of his side's trip to Bristol City on Tuesday. "The four teams in there fighting and then West Brom and Hull who have been brilliant.
"I think it's down to the amount of quality coaches in the division with clear ideas and ways of playing. The athleticism and power of players, it's as good a Championship as I've ever known - and I've been involved in a lot.
"We have to use that frustration of being on such a brilliant run, but we've still got so much work to do, it's not comfortable and it won't be until the end of the season but we have to keep heading into it. We need to hit every challenge head on, keep growing and learning. Hopefully at some point we continue this run and that gap widens."
Leeds are managing to keep pace with Southampton due to what has been an excellent start to 2024, with Saturday's 3-0 win at home to Rotherham their sixth league victory on the bounce. Ipswich have dropped off after an outstanding start but remain very much in the hunt.
Martin has previously hinted that the season could go to the wire, with Leeds hosting Southampton on the final day of the season in what could be a massive game.

Det begynner virkelig å dra seg til. S'oton har stort sett gjort seg ferdig med mye av de svakere lagene og har to ganske tøffe kamper borte allerede denne uka. Bristol City i dag og WBA på fredag. Gjør vi jobben mot Swansea og Plymouth tror jeg fort vi kan være foran de etter førstkommende helg..
Et kanonkjøpMeget imponerende hvordan han styrer midtbanen. Håper han har PL-nivået inne, om det skulle bli aktuelt.
Han har vel kanskje 59% av nivået til Marc Roca inne.
Men elsker Gruev!
Innbiller meg Archie Gray bruker mye tid på styrkerommet. Virker klart sterkere fysisk utover i sesongen. Jeg håper vi bruker Connor Roberts som høyreback, og rydder plass til Gray sammen med Gruev sentralt. Det er sentral midtbanespiller han er.
Gray og Gruev sentralt ja - da lukter det både svidd, muskler OG intelligens/ spilleforståelse på en gang!! Du verden som de to gutta der imponerer om dagen! Gruev MOM i går.
Da kan vi bruke Roberts på HB og Ampadu i midtforsvaret sammen med Rodon, mens Kamara må finne seg i å bekle benken. Kan være en bra mann å sette inn på etter 65-70 min.
Byram og Firpo får konkurrere om VB-plassen.
Struijk hadde jeg glemt.... Men han får sine sjanser igjen han også - med skader og suspensjoner utover.
Spill Cresswell, Gelhardt, Joseph, Piroe og evt andre unggutter som kan ligge i vannskorpa. Fullt fokus på opprykk. En runde til eller fra i FA cupen betyr nada.
Farke er en knallgod manager. Punktum.
Farke 6 - Venter i 83 minutter før han gjør noe. Flere jager etter pusten, men Farke er handlingslammet. Kan være glad han har så gode spillere, gjør oss ikke bedre fra benk underveis. Neppe noe mot de store gutta i Premier League. Det har han vel definitivt bevisst tidligere. Langt fra fornøyd med kampledelse.
Er slett ikke uenig i at Farke kan ha noe å gå på i kampledelse underveis. Slett ikke alltid han treffer.
Men DENNE skal Farke ha, man managment skills dèr er han god!
People can have whatever opinion they want about Gnonto.
Why are so few talking about the absolute masterclass in man-management from Farke, though? He's got a player who wanted to leave 5 months ago interested, working hard, and contributing tonight. Farke is class #lufc

Da er det kanskje denne karen som tusler inn porten ila dagen?

Hvorfor spiller vi kveldskamp mot Norwich til onsdag?
Beren CrossTipper noe sånt + sell on klausuler
@BerenCross
Leeds United have had bids for Charlie Cresswell from several clubs. Millwall among them. None have hit the asking price, but permanent exit looks probable this month. #lufc
Cresswell går nok denne måneden, mest trolig permanent. Hva kan vi få for ham tro? 3-5 millioner pund?

Klaesson
Ayling
Rodon
Ampadu
Firpo
Kamara
Gray
Rutter
Summerville
James
Bamford
Det blir 3 poeng. Hattrick av høyrevingen Rutter 😀
Ayling går til Boro
Om Ampadu blir midtstopper så ser jeg for meg Gruev som partner sammen med Gray. Gray og Kamara sammen blir for offensivt. Gruev er en mer naturlig holding midfielder enn de to andre.
Ellers tror jeg at Rutter blir 10-er, og Summerville ving.
Personlig tror jeg Gruev-Gray blir for veikt sentralt.
Enig med Farke. Synes Shackleton klarte seg greit i denne kampen. Han blir nok med oftere nå når Ayling og Spence er ute.
👍 “He had some brilliant performances before his injury, but right now he's back in training for two-and-a-half weeks. Obviously [he] was not that much in his rhythm and it was a bit of a risk, but yes, we wanted to use this game also to give him these valuable minutes.
💪 “He had to deal with one of the best wingers in the whole league, in League One, it was a big task and he kept him relatively quiet. You can’t control him in each and every moment, but it was important because this is exactly the quality of player you will face often in the Championship. For that, it was good to have Jamie back.”
🗣 Farke on Shackleton's return to the fold
......"Kept him relatively quiet".
Da har definitivt ikke Farke og jeg sett samme kamp. Mason-Clarke var strålende.
Ja, han var veldig god og Shackleton sleit med ham. Kanskje Farke mener at med å holde ham "relatively quiet" betød at han ikke skapte noen sjanser. Jeg vet ikke.

Han brente jo den største Peterboro hadde, da han skar inn fra venstre og blåste ballen like utenfor.
