Bristol City are back in the race for the 6th PO spot, long shot but they were dead 2 games ago

Fulham beat wba. We beat Barnsley by a few and that pretty much seals promotion barring 2 landslide defeats for us.

Leeds' return to the top flight could be secured when they host Barnsley on Thursday, if third-placed Brentford lose to Preston North End on Wednesday. :)

Only real negative has been Roberts. I'd like to Shack or Poveda given a chance instead.

It's been wonderful man management from Bielsa with Pablo. It could have been so easy to start him every game and ruin him, but he's been saving him for when we need him.

Pablo shows the rest of the players how to place the ball in the net as oppose to shooting/heading straight at the keeper or into row 28

So will Barnsley park the bus or will they come at us? They need to win.

We have the winning formula, keep it the same for me. Roberts is not a midfielder but Bielsa plays him there for some reason. We keep it tight and generally the outcome is in our favour.

We just need the first goal in every game and we're fine. If Barnsley park the bus they deserve everything they get. Sweet fa hopefully.

Feeling very emotional right now. I was in a shop when I saw Pablo had scored. My missus thought I was having some sort of fit.
Almost there now...

You should be happy mate, no excuses for anyone not to have Pablo as MOTM. ;-)

Me too pal. I've thrown up before every game since the restart. Just nerves and tension.

My nerves are shredded! What a crucial win in a difficult game against tough opponents at a critical time. It’s not often we have won such a game in many, many years.

Pablo’s experience to just take a second to place that shot is just top class and shows some cajones.

It was a fitting tribute to big Jack. Well done Leeds for giving all of us a Sunday evening of sheer bliss!

I was more nervous before the Stoke game.
I thought we were slightly more careful than usual with Phillips playing deeper and more balls over the top than we’ve ever done under Bielsa.
I would have settled for a draw today, hence I wasn’t as nervous.
