I'm not going to say tomorrow night's game is crucial as there are still plenty more to come after it. However, it's one of those where a) three points would go a long way to securing our survival and b) it is one of those games you look at from the beginning of the season and say 'that's a home win'.
Come on lads, put the disappointment of Saturday behind you, play as well as you did in patches for the full 90 minutes and let's leave Forest, Spurs and the Hammers in a state of sheer panic.
MOT tomorrow guys:)

After so long saying that games don't matter too much as there are more winnable ones ahead, we are finally at the more winnable ones. For me, this means we need to be going out and winning them, securing our safety and then trying to get as high a finish as we possibly can.
02 Mar 2026 20:18:36
The way we've played against top teams, how we've managed to keep the six-point gap through hard work and determination, we should walk the lower-table teams.
This Leeds team is the best in a generation. Sunderland should be quaking in their boots.
{Ed025's Note - the problem is Mo that the teams down there are fighting for their lives, no easy games in this division mate..
02 Mar 2026 22:15:48
Bang on, Cleggy.
Three points tomorrow night, and we are more or less safe.
Five more home games, and two, maybe three wins will be enough.
Sunderland, Burnley, Wolves, Brighton, and Brentford are surely enough winnable home games?
Then again, we are Leeds?
02 Mar 2026 23:42:27
A win tomorrow, as said above, would put us within touching distance of safety. What I would give for a convincing win and not a nerve jangler. And, a goal or two for DCL. We need him to be scoring again.
03 Mar 2026 07:06:30
If we stifle Xhaka, (or Granit, or whatever his name is and how it's spelt) , I believe we'll get a vital win, and like all of you, I think it's a big game that we should and must win. Under the lights? We got this.
03 Mar 2026 07:21:37
I'm looking for a spanking. I think, secretly, they will be dreading this game. Cause they know we are capable of putting them in their place with a drubbing. If we can get one in first 10 min, think they will collapse. Be happy with 1-0, mind, but def need the three points.
03 Mar 2026 08:06:04
I love the 'then again, we are Leeds' comment, Corkey. :)
How very true!
It'll be alright on the night. If you're not going to the game (unfortunately like myself) , then simply hide behind the sofa for a couple of hours and we'll win. Simple. :)
01 Mar 2026 16:18:23
2-1 to the home team a very popular score-at least for us whites fans! MOT.
01 Mar 2026 21:51:08
We will take the weekend results, but we need a win on Tuesday.
02 Mar 2026 04:36:55
Yep. Good results. West Ham have won 6 in 28 games. Are they able to win 2 more than us in the last 10 games? Highly unlikely. As the games tic toc away, I am feeling confident the goal has been achieved. Paste them last gave as a goodbye message.
02 Mar 2026 07:07:43
In fact I can only see West Ham getting about 9 points from here, whereas I would hope we can amass about 15. Ish.
02 Mar 2026 19:45:51
I looked at Sham's last 10 games, and the most I could see them getting is 12 points. As we're already ahead of them by 6, then 7 more from here could see us home and dry.
5 more games at ER to come against the teams currently placed 7, 12, 17, 19 and 20, surely we can get 7 points from those, whatever we do in our remaining away games.
01 Mar 2026 16:14:38
Spuds and Florists both beaten, now that's what I call a Super Sunday.
01 Mar 2026 15:26:43
Watching man poo game today talk about inconsistency with match officials, Maguire run up to the referee was told many times to go way and gets nothing the game is corrupt and VAR give the red card.
Or is that just a dis granted old Leeds fan.
02 Mar 2026 11:48:49
Watched highlights. Didn't look up too much.
I'd love it, love it, if we beat them, custards.
01 Mar 2026 14:21:26
I have just seen a close up of the disgraceful cynical stamp on Gruyev, which was conveniently missed by Blind Man Bankes.
01 Mar 2026 16:58:28
Why did VAR not intervene? They seem to pick and choose when to look at incidents.
01 Mar 2026 17:28:35
Disgraceful that that type of play goes unpunished. It makes a mockery of the game and player safety. Disgusting.
01 Mar 2026 21:52:24
Absolutely, Corkey and Mo.
02 Mar 2026 04:58:21
I didn't think it was intentional tbh. Don't think he should have attempted to get the ball as the whistle had gone, but think it was accidental. Although I haven't seen it again.
02 Mar 2026 08:17:24
His natural foot movement was forward, Aus. He actively pushed backwards to stand on Ilia. Great player, dirty git tho. Wish we had him!
01 Mar 2026 13:52:24
Speaking with a Burnley fan, he was very complimentary about us, and very pragmatic in terms of their most likely return to the Championship.
We noted Sunderland (perversely) were actually in the best position going into the epl based upon promotion from the playoffs, and having the lowest spend in terms of squad and wages of the three.
This meant under PSR they had significantly more headroom for signings than ourselves and Burnley.
He said, on all the Burnley forums expectations were not high after losing Trafford, Brownhill and Egan in close season, but interestingly he thought clubs the size of Burnley and their board (as a business model) would not be distraught to yo yo if it was always quick return based upon parachute payments and epl tv rights.
Oh his season ticket £312.00!
Think it shows the divide is increasing every year and neither Boro nor Coventry will likely
pose a risk to changing the norm of relegation for newly promoted teams.
Not sure if this will ever change, I fear like F1 the top six teams in the epl wield so much influence and power that making the leap to an established epl side is so difficult, fair play to the likes of Brentford who show it can be done without spending billions, but it's getting more difficult every season.
01 Mar 2026 14:23:28
Good post, Class. It makes you wonder if things would be better if the so called big boys had gone off to form their European Super League.
01 Mar 2026 16:42:34
When Burnley was sold in 2020 by the Garlick family, who owned local electrical shops, the club had £45m in the bank. The last accounts show a debt of £113m. The view amongst many fans is that, as often happens, the US consortium, led by Pace, is doing very well out of their ownership.
01 Mar 2026 17:08:39
Top post, Class.
01 Mar 2026 20:16:39
Spoke to my Burnley mate tonight re season ticket prices. The £312 is for under 21s. The regular price is £525, which is very good value compared to most other PL teams. However, concessions for seniors have jumped from £300 two years ago to £450 this season. Still good value, but a big jump and has annoyed some supporters.
I remember when Burnley went down and season ticket prices went up. ☹️ Different scenario, and maybe demand, but Bradford City season tickets for under 12s are £35. Catch them young. That's why my sons are City supporters, but we amicably disagree on football matters.
01 Mar 2026 12:34:11
That goal is on Farke. Rodon clearly doesn't want to commit and miss more games which is good. But.
01 Mar 2026 18:47:21
Rodon should have slid and cleared that cross for a corner. If he didn't know Semenyo was behind him, he was napping. He rarely makes mistakes, but that one cost us the match.
02 Mar 2026 08:36:34
No one incident can be blamed for costing a whole match, but I thought Rodon should have done better there. He seemed to purposely leave it, so maybe he assumed Darlow was covering? He certainly didn't expect Semenyo there.
01 Mar 2026 09:45:02
This always reminds me of how games usually turn out when teams around the top of the table play against play against ones near the bottom in the Premiership.
It's the defining moments in a game that the team with the quality players like Man City will always make their moment count.
However we did play very well against them but in our defining moments the ball does not go in the net because we lack, and obviously so as a newly promoted team, that extra quality the will bury at least one of those chances we had, in the net.
It is also not a surprise and this might sound like sour grapes, but referee decisions will always go against the team struggling at the bottom than those reaching for glory at the top. It's always been like that and I accept it as part of the game.
Long before this game was played out I have had no doubt in my head that under Farke and these players we have, we will survive this season and survive is at best, was all we could do in this first season up in the Prem.
I'm the kind of fan the doesn't want to see his team punch above it's weight like Forest did last season and Sunderland have in this season. A slow and progressive building of our team in the Premiership is what I prefer without the unrealistic great expectations that are forced onto some teams in these sometimes over fortunate and over elevated positions that some recently promoted teams might find themselves in.
Well done to all the lads playing yesterday, they gave their max as they have all season and I truly believe they will be rewarded for their hard working efforts. Same goes for the coaching staff and especially Daniel Farke who has surprised many with his adaptability in the most competitive league in the world.
Never doubt his commitment to succeed with our club, picking up that red card for remonstrating with a ref who is rubbish at his job shows his passion and his emotion that some seem to think he does not posses.
01 Mar 2026 12:13:04
Excellent post, Opti.
01 Mar 2026 09:41:16
Watched in a pub outnumbered by Citeh supporters, was actually angry, frustrated after the game as it seemed such fine margins to beating a team assembled by cheating the system and a team that Pep has working every trick in the book on the field.
Hindsight (with less Guinness on board) Farke was limited in how he set up, would have loved to have started with Namecheck up top with DCL but hey ho such fine margins.
Another game Rodon intercepts that pass I think his hamstring worry has taken half a yard of him and stopped him from lunging at the ball.
Darlow was excellent, we were strangely of it a little in midfield and Amos who has been immense looked tired yesterday I thought.
Need the Sunderland win, and I think that puts a foot in the safe zone, both Florists and Sham to play Citeh next couple so opportunities.
Finally, the ref, was an embarrassment genuinely how is that man considered epl standard.
Roll on Tuesday Rodon sounds doubtful but Bijol is ready.
01 Mar 2026 11:40:11
Bijol should always start before Struik. Some say just returning from injury, but Struik was injured and straight back in.
01 Mar 2026 13:35:35
Yet Struijk was probably close to, if not, our best player yesterday!
01 Mar 2026 09:32:32
Firstly, a defeat which should have produced at least a point. We are good enough to stay up, but a worry is the return of the misfiring DCL. Semanyo shouldn't have been allowed to tap that in, it could and should have been cut out. The foul not given on Aaronson before the goal was a terrible decision, as were many others that the ultra incompetent Bankes made or didn't make.
On to Tuesday and a must win game to get confidence levels back up to get another 12 points to make us safe.
