With 3 points seperating 3rd and 8th, it's important that Leeds at least maintain a gap while the chasing pack jostle for position.
With only two of the current top 8 remaining to play after Feb, the next two months will be clutch.
Last season Boxing Day was the end of our 7 match winning streak and the start of the wobble. As stated earlier in the thread Sheffield U went from 10 points behind to 6 points in front, so think it's too easy to be complacent. Blackburn in 9th have taken the same amount of points over the last 8 game as WBA, and more than us.

What really matters is how we perform over the next 10 games - if we manage a decent run then we'll firm our grip on the auto spots and be able to weather a strong run from some a team below. Many team will falter and whilst if we do we could still be "in the mix" the closer any third team gets the likelihood we run the risk of being unseated by a late season wobble.

Last season game 25-34 were W4D1L5 - 1.3PPG, aiming for 2PPG is what we need.
Didn't we beat Blackburn on Boxing Day? I think the bad run started slightly after, New Years Day at Forest springs to mind.
You are correct about beating Blackburn on boxing day but the bad run started the following Saturday at home to Hull City.

Boxing day was the last win of our streak and we were on 51 points, that's what I meant by the end of the run, and it's the ten games after boxing day that we lost half of the games
