Leeds Inch Closer

Leeds has a lucky escape yesterday with a last minute equaliser at home to Norwich making it a 2-2 draw. A draw should have been a set-back in the promotion stakes - however Watford were playing Reading at home and while Watford achieved a credible draw they have not gained any ground based on Leeds. Much more importantly, Coventry continued a 12 match unbeaten at home run by beating Sheffield 2-0. So we inch closer - now just five points behind with a game in hand. Click here for latest table. The remaining matches. Sheffield and Leeds swap opponents and go away from home next week. That means Leeds face Coventry in Coventry next week. So what about this Coventry unbeaten run at home.
Micky Adams, the Coventry manager had this to say after beating Sheffield: "Sheffield United can rest assured we'll try to do them a favour by doing everything we can to beat Leeds." Coventry are in 9th place and still have an outside chance of making the play-offs.
So we continue to hope but it's a big 10 days ahead. On Tuesday the 21st March Leeds play their game in hand, its at home to Crystal Palace - an important one to win. Although we beat them 2-1 away from home last week, they will not be easy to beat.
