A win today would be absolutely massive as I couldn't see Leeds closing a 13 point gap on us.

It’s not beyond us Mike and Leeds will definitely be the more nervy of the two teams having only taken one point from their last two games. If we could manage to score first that really would put the pressure on and keep the home crowd quiet.

I'm sure Leeds will look at this as a must win today. 10 pts is a massive 4 game turn around, so yes even a draw will certainly keep Leeds at extra arms length away if we draw

If we win like Mike said 13pts is just totally unbelievable 5 games, that will just be mind blowing but not jumping ahead, even if we lose its still above most of us how far we come.. Come on Town, A good result could really be a further springboard in our season

Pressure is on Leeds today

That is definitely my take on it. It is must win for Leeds. The gap opening to 13pts will not be favourable to them or their fans. Massive pressure will be on them for sure...., but --->> they are a decent side. Its a ropey one for ITFC today. Share of the spoils would be superb. Especially if Leeds do launch waves of attack.

Lets see Chappers thread the needle with a counter attack pass......

Was hoping to watch on my phone in Malaga. But apparently I can’t watch on the Sky Sports app because we left the EU and I can’t buy a match pass on Town TV because Sky are showing it.

Most nervous I have been watching this season.

I think not losing would be a great result. A win and it may actually shut a few of the skeptics from outside the club up!

Last week we had a ref determined not to be viewed as a “ Homer”. This week are playing against a ref that definitely IS a “homer”….

I’d say outmuscled…. Leeds haven’t had to work too hard for their goals …

Clarke looks all at sea in there today I’m afraid

Wasn't hard to lipread Clarke's comments after that yellow card.

Neither lady luck nor the referee are with us right now.

Thing is at this level if game weve gif no one in that bench that can come in and change things .

And Leeds are catching us in their transition from defence to attack. Our midfield are nowhere to be seen at that crucial point, they just run straight through us.
