    That's what the BBC called them anyway.

    It looks like Sheff Wed have got their act together at the right time so we could probably do with them getting a result at Elland Road today. It'd be nice to know we have Leeds within reach by kick-off.

    What a superb season it would be if we stayed up and Wolves, Bristol and Leeds were the three relegated teams.

    I'm not convinced by the McDermott appointment, not sure the fit is right. Leeds are a nasty club, he's actually a nice guy.

    I think he's a good manager, but the glove has to fit.

    Also, he's not the most experienced and his experiences don't include turning a team's fortunes around. If they lose today he'll be in unknown territory with only one full season of management under his belt .....

    Thought this thread would catch your eye, mate. Couldn't agree more. I'd even be prepared to swap Blackburn for Wolves if it came to it.

    I've just had a little bet on Sheff Wed HT+FT at 4/1 to get the afternoon rolling.

    Think Leeds have plummeted as far as they will do, bound to get a response to a new manager - I'm guessing a draw today as wednesday are hard to beat. Bristol City, Blackburn & Hudds to go down.

    I couldn't resist!

    Massive game for Leeds today. Lose and it could all go wrong, win and they'll probably go on to make the playoffs next season.

    I'd properly plump for Wolves as I think Blackburn are now just a small club with no potential. Dwindling crowds, poor players, etc. We'll finish above them next season

    Didn't work for Blackburn, Reading, Southend or Sunderland recently ......

    I'm obviously trying to be as positive about this as possible!

    Is this the first time we've ever wanted Wednesday to win? 1-0 up. Come on!

    Johnson again. He always plays well when his contract is up for renewal.

    The chumps have gone from 'Jones out now' to 'final push for play offs'. You've got to love 'em...

    Hope Leeds win. We generally get 4 or 6 points off them. Why are Barnsley fans supporting the pigs?
