To me, Leeds' 2-1 JPT loss to Carlisle, coupled with the Exeter match, says that Leeds' annual collapse is on the way! The usual 3 points from Bellend Road should come amist the middle of the chaos, and leedscum will spend another happy season in league 1!
Do you agree,or am I overexaggerating the effects of the 2 losses?

It's all relative. The wheels are coming off in comparison to a month or so ago when they were unbeatable but they were never gonna be able to maintain that ridiculous for the whole season. They'll be top 3 come the end of the season, Norwich will be top 2 so it depends on us if they come 2nd or 3rd. I'd like to think 3rd but I have a feeling that may be us, we'll see.
Of course I hope i'm wrong, the wheels have come off and Leeds lose every game from now until the end of the season but that seems unlikely...

I was very impressed with them against us despite the fact we should really have won. They certainly don't look a Div 1 team.

Every team has a sticky patch throughout the season, the only team in League One I can remember dominating from start to finish was Luton Town in the 04/05 season.
Nottingham Forest once dominated League One for most of the 06/07 season, but somehow they ended up finishing 4th and losing to Yeovil in the playoff semi finals so it can happen to Leeds.
However it is their season to go up, mainly down to the level headed approach of Simon Grayson. For a club who is under the spotlight, he has not talked about Leeds promotion chances during interviews, talks about what Leeds have to do, doesn't moan about anything going against the team.

We've definitely stumbled over the past month that's for sure. I honestly don't care about and have never cared about winning the league, the top two would do just fine.
Anything to avoid that dreadful section of team's from 3rd to 6th, I daren't even mention it.
Hopefully our win tonight and the way we played with Aidy White especially will change our fortunes for the better once again.

Plenty of six pointers in the next 6 weeks or so, particularly the last two fixtures. Possibility that Swindon can join the automatic promotion race if they can make use of their game in hand and put in a good run prior to Monday 3rd April.

4 defeats on the bounce for Leeds after Swindon pulled off a sensational 3-0 victory. Although it's not looking for Leeds but they have an easier run in as they've to face relegation zone sides Southend and Gillingham.

Leeds back to 2nd after beating Carlisle last Tuesday and the other teams slipping up.
This is going to the wire.

All down to Bristol Rovers doing a favour along with either Millwall/Swindon/Charlton winning or Huddersfield to thrash Exeter.

Can just about live with Huddersfield getting promoted, they'll be favourites to go down next season.
Bristol Rovers form has been poor of late but surely they can't pull an upset?

Personally, I'd describe a club with a budget God knows how many times bigger than the combined total of the rest of the league relying on the last day of the season to get 2nd place, after being 9 points clear at the top at one point as the wheels absolutely flying off the bandwagon.

TBF Leeds only had to win their game to ensure promotion, the other teams needed Leeds not to win. Millwall and Swindon had their chances late on but they got themselves to blame. Having a big budget is one thing but it's having the right man in charge, Simon Grayson is that right man in charge. As much as it pains to say this, Grayson is taking Leeds onwards and upwards, even back to the promised land.
