I don't think any team in the championship has finished with 92 points (2 point a game average) and not gone up automatically.
Southampton have to go to Ipswich, Leicester and Leeds (last game of season!).

Great win for Leeds today against a good home side in Plymouth.
I missed the first half but happy to see a goal in the second.
We've had some good games against them this season and yet another long distance fixture this month for the fans.
Job done for now, let’s see how Leicester and Ipswich get on later; Southampton having hot their three points yesterday.
It’s too bloody tense for my liking.
Rare slip up from Leicester but still nine points clear of second and Ipswich still not giving up.
The playoffs are going to be extra tough this year it seems.
Well, I suppose I better turn up on this thread when we lose too!
Boro ripped us on the counter…. And we missed too many sitters…. 2.49 v 0.69 XG does not win you a game…
Wasn’t our day and we weren’t good enough frankly…
I was really impressed with Boro…. A very good side and way better than there league position
You can’t win ‘em all…!
It’s good practice for if you get promoted!
it's as if I have a crystal ball.....
lose a 6 pointer and then go to Brizzle on the back of them beating Southampton and win away 1-0.
actually played really well and had the best chances to score a couple more. Nervy injury time with one of the best defensive headers for us you'll ever see, but would have been disallowed anyway. Team unrecognisable from the rabble that turned up at Stoke midweek.
enjoyed my nerve wracking away day; Brizzle is my closest EFL ground and we had a decent following today; despite being utter shite our fans are still travelling in decent numbers
good to see Stoke back to losing ways and Millwall continuing their freefall; long may both keep doing this!
Let's just hope that they slip up again on Friday!
A few seasons ago when Leeds finished third, they lost at home to the two teams above them late in the season.
Had they won both games rather than losing them, they would have finished as champions.
Let’s hope they don’t make the same mistake again.
Yep, keeping an eye the matches on FotMob at Carra Rud yesterday Henry was ‘Foxes will pull it back….’ So a bit surprised.
The last four home games we have looked sublime in places but yesterday was a complete performance from the off. Looking like we are finishing how we started.
You could not pick MotM yesterday we were that good. Check out Sara’s free kick.
Must catch up soon buddy, life is on the up and need to get across for a curry.

Amen to that!
Just knew we would blow it today after getting a couple of good results.
QPR were well worthy of the win. Good travelling support ,with great noise coming from you lot.
Hopefully you can now go on and secure your safety
Big game!!! I’m looking forward to it…
Lols…. So true!It’s good practice for if you get promoted!
Good win for you Paulo…. Good to hear things are on the up…. I’ll ping you and WhatsApp and we’ll sort something out x
It’ll be twitchy bum time in Leicester if you don’t take away st least a point!
Yep…. I’m not keen on coming away with nothing from that game
A 6 point lead would still be a great place to be at this point in the season but I get that you'd need a couple of good results thereafter otherwise panic might set in (can't see you finishing outside the top two the way you've played this season).
cheers; it's typical of us. I've a mate that works in the gambling industry and says we are one of the worst teams to predict; try being a fan.
our away support is incredibly consistent and given our modest home crowds is pretty good in numbers. Yesterday was a nice day out for us and I don't do many awaydays due to the number of coked up twats, but know there is plenty of room at your gaff to stay out of the way.
felt a bit sorry for Dickie getting stick but was bound to happen. Rotherham next week; what could possibly go wrong*
*last time they were in the EFL and hadn't won away for about 30 games they turned up and scored 2 goals in the last 5 minutes to win. I just laughed as we have form for that stuff

You’d have signed me up for a 6 point lead at this stage of the season…
I’m not one of these bed wetting fans, as you’re right, I suspect we will get auto promotion without too much drama…
However, this is Leicester we’re talking about!
I suspect you not getting promotion after this season would be more Leedsy than Leicestery
LOL…. We all think we’re cursed!!!I suspect you not getting promotion after this season would be more Leedsy than Leicestery
Beale gone after 12 games. It was a crazy appointment in the first place but actually his record wasn't that bad. Apparently the assistant will be in charge until the end of the season. I hope for the sake of the fans they don't make another arse of the next appointment.
Hull win at Southampton and Ipswich need a late winner against Rotherham.
Just spotted that…. Sweeeet!
Apart from the late winner for Ipswich, it couldn’t have gone better for Leeds.
It certainly puts us in the driving seat and we’re the form team since the new year now.
Now it’s all going to go pear shaped!
Why, oh why, oh why would you say that? Have years of following Leeds not taught you anything?!
(Anticipates 7-0 thrashing by the Foxes now...)
That’d be nice!Still a long way to go!

Force of habit, I just can’t help myself.
Sorry
That Ipswich game was great to watch, Rotherham really had a go second half.
Only 7-0 pffft!
(Busy setting myself up for Friday!!!)
after the way he shat on us to go to Rangers I'm not disappointed to see this happen.
apparently he had a snide twitter account that he posted from too and got caught out.
We'd be happy to oblige!
Oh, you mean Leicester.

Big game for both teams?
“It’s a huge game for them. For us, it’s one more game.”
^^^
We’d better bloody back this up now!!
Suspect you might get something but hoping Leeds keep MOT as would be good to see a genuine fight for the title.
I love being this excited for a game…. Hope it’s a belter…
It’s going to be tight. I’ve a feeling that, if Leeds win tonight, it may be Leeds and Southampton who get automatic promotion and Leicester in the playoffs.
Whoever does end up in the playoffs is going to have it tough with both West Brom and Hull showing good form at the moment.
That’s a big call Dave. Leeds will still be six points behind Leicester and Southampton around eight points behind so I’m interested in why you think Leicester will implode and only make the playoffs?
Just a feeling, it will probably be as wrong as I usually am.
Leeds are likely to have a rough patch (or 2) before the season ends, I think Ipswich will fall behind the top 3 and Southampton will lose a few games against teams in the top 10 as their record against them isn't great.
I don't see Leicester missing out from here as that requires two teams to overtake them. I'll settle for Leeds being up before the final game, although losing in the play offs and romping the league next year would be ok too.
I’m as confident as I can be that we’ll go up and probably as champions….
Hauling is in, even if we do lose tonight, is a massive ask…
I’d feel a bit chirpier with 3 points in the bag though
Am I watching the same game as the commentators? They’re on about it being a pulsating game. I’m watching a game of little quality and even less goalmouth action. Poor.
The commentators are too busy tongue punching Leeds’ non return valve…
It’s had a few good moments, but yeah…. It’s been short on quality
Can we hang on?
I think you’ll win it 0-2. You had complete control first half.
For me that’s a goal.
The question now is can we hang on?
That’s probably a yes now.

I think you have your answer
Smash and grab. Classic Championship.
That’s your lead halved in under a week, it’s going to be an interesting run in.
Baff…. A proper gut punch that….
Very happy with the result. But Daka's goal should have been allowed.
