Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Leeds are showing signs of nerves – Blues Legend

Mick Mills has stated that Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Leeds United are showing true anxiety at the end of the Championship season.

Ipswich only achieved a 0-0 draw at home against Watford on Wednesday night, but the point helped them climb to second place in the Championship standings.

They are level on points with league leaders Leicester, having played one more game, and one point clear of Leeds, who are third and barely outside the automatic promotion spots.

With four games remaining in the season, the fight for automatic promotion to the Premier League is down to the wire, and Mills pointed out that each of the top three teams does not appear to be in good form.

He does not believe any of the clubs will break the 100-point threshold at this rate, and he admits that all of them are demonstrating anxious energy near the end of the season.

Mills said on BBC Radio Suffolk: “It’s just amazing that this top three where going so well and looking like as if they could all break 100 points.

“But now it is a doubt that any one of them could get to that sort of magic total and they are all struggling.

“We are struggling for form and beginning to struggle a little bit for points.

“We know what happened to Leicester and Leeds last night and we have had two matches now where we haven’t scored and I believe Leeds didn’t have a shot on target last night.

“I think there is a bit of a nervous tension creeping in for all three of the teams.”

Ipswich face another difficult home encounter against Middlesbrough on Saturday at Portman Road.
