Not necessarily a must win
It is more than possible that we have enough points now to stay up
See what happens at Leeds today

If Leeds lose it makes next Sunday an extremely relaxing day and a celebration if we win at Villa.

If Leeds are unable to fight back in the second half after being let off the hook by Brighton in the first half then I can see no chance for them.
The Villa game is big whatever happens though

Not a must win, but i reckon we've more chance of getting something at Villa than against Newcastle, so we could do with something.

But don't forget, Leeds have only one game left after today, we've two.
Got to make use of that extra game though.

Yes it is now, we need a minimum of 4 points from our last two games to guarantee survival on goal difference

We are in a better position than certain people have been saying on here. Leeds were going to beat Brighton, we were going to get mullered at Spurs. Neither have happened. Come on why is it nailed on that Leeds will beat Brentford. Get a grip folks for God's sake.

We need at least a draw on Thursday to keep it in our hands. If we lose, I suspect we’re down.

I don’t trust Brentford to get a result even against a poor Leeds side.

Gotta say, DL deserved that equalizer, they kept trying and trying. Brighton visibly tired in the last 20 and seemed to pontificate in the final third

2 wins would be very nice.

Very possible and equally not. These matches hinge on very slender momentary events.

If you saw the Leeds players doing their 'lap of honour ' after the game you would have thought they had been relegated. They do not look up for it to me.

Second half I hate to say it but Leeds deserved to get something out of the game that Brighton keeper pulled out some fine stops, overall a draws a fair reflection on the pressure that was cranked up in the second half & the chances created.

It's quite simple now - if we can't get more points than Leeds when we have 2 games left and they have 1 they will deserve to stay up and we will deserve to go down.

Villa is a must not lose.

Not sure about that. They were throwing everything at it in the second half and just scored another late goal. That isn’t the sign of a team that’s not up for it surely?

Our record at Villa park is okay isn’t it? Usually get a point. No reason why we can’t. Especially if the lads play at the same intensity as today.

They are playing at a fired up Goodison Park. It will be a different story next week at their ground with the fans urging them to send Leeds down.
