Ahah is there a fire drill best chant of the season!

[crystall Tips]

Fantastic result - unbelievable!

Don't care what anyone else says, I hate the playoffs, I'm a nervous wreck just watching this stuff, would be worse if we have to go on past 8th May.

Shirtliffe certainly dour, hope he allows a bit of celebration, but we all know we've still got a big job to do and I can't see him or Wilson letting excitement get the better of them.    

Not sure now about choosing a trip to Colchester over Leeds, but maybe we make it 5 on the trot there.

Leeds 0 Swindon 3: match report


Millwall’s home draw with Brentford the previous night had seen them snatch second spot in League One from Leeds United and push the Yorkshire club outside of the automatic promotion positions for the first time since the early days of the campaign.

Leeds had the opportunity to re-address the balance, but reckoned without the guts and guile of Swindon Town.

Danny Wilson’s men arrived at Elland Road buoyed by their recent form which had propelled them to within one point of Simon Grayson’s oufit.

By the 55th minute the match was over as a contest when Swindon’s Charlie Austin headed home his 17th goal of the season to give the Robins a 3-0 lead they never looked likely to relinquish. They now stand proudly in second place behind and have added another twist to what has been an eventful League One season.

For Leeds, since January their campaign has been one of slow, painful self-destruction. In December, returning triumphantly to the Championship as League One winners looked a sure-fire certainty. The play-offs beckon now and it is by no means certain they will have the wherewithal to face them given the mental hammering they have endured over the last three months.

They started brightly, but as as so often been the case since the turn of the year, they failed to turn their superiority into meaningful chances.

Swindon, on the other hand, while remaining resolute in defence, continued to threaten the home goal and it was no surprise when they grabbed the lead two minutes before half-time.

Jon-Paul McGovern sent over a cross from the right which headed towards Swindon striker Billy Paynter and Leeds full-back Andrew Hughes. Hughes slipped at the crucial moment. An off-balance Billy Paynter stabbed the ball into the net.

It was a crushing blow for what was clearly a fragile Leeds side. And it was to get worse just the other side of the break.

Three minutes after the restart and from what seemed an innocuous situation, the ball managed to reach Billy Paynter who turned and fired home his and Swindon’s second.

If the task of salvaging something from the game had just got harder, any hopes of recovery were extinguished seven minutes later when Charlie Austin headed home.

Finished work just after 4.30. Popped into Los Gatos, got the old man to get the score up on the laptop. I thought he was making it up.

Fucking ecstatic about that result.  I was supposed to accompany my Leeds supporting best mate the game today but ended up getting roped into a wedding.  

Needless to say he switched his phone off once the scores filtered through to the bar.

Credit to Wilson and Shirtlifter I didn’t think he was the right choice for the job but he’s done a stirling bit of work in getting his squad together.  Unbelievable achievement today and I couldn’t have dreamt we would be in this position at the start of the season.

I'm off to get bladdered and fist the mother of the bride...

i dont think there will be even if the worse happens, we are not the ones galavaning around with the "we're too big/good for this league" attitute.
To think some of the sky sports pundits had us to be fighting for relegation at the begining of the season.

Leeds 0 - 3 Swindon   W.A.C.C.O.E must be busy, I'm having trouble getting into the site.
