Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia is often a man of few words. Closely guarded in press conferences, he gives little away such is his approach. And yet, even the considered Spaniard couldn't shy away from just how big a week the Whites are facing.
There may be only six points on offer in the space of six days, but it feels even more important than that. The magnitude of the week is not lost on anyone, with the fixture list's importance only amplified further by the opposition, or rather the league positioning of the opposition.
Starting with Nottingham Forest's visit to Elland Road on Tuesday night and ending on Sunday with Crystal Palace's trip to the same venue, Leeds United have a potential make or break week. Two home victories could see the Whites as high as 12th and with some much-needed breathing space in this nervy relegation fight.
