Thomas Franks comments were interesting last night

He said the whole top 6 is fighting for automatic promotion and there isn't a side like leeds last season that is out on its own.

However, a quick look at the comparative tables shows we have more points than leeds did last season after 25 games.

The difference is last season that 3rd place only had 42 points after 25 games!

WBA and Leeds both had 51 points. WBA nearly messed that up! They only got another 32 points from 21 games!
