BLUES captain Adam Barrett does not think Leeds United should be given back any of their deducted 15 points.
The Elland Road outfit were given the penalty by the Football League for allegedly breaking competition rules on insolvency at the start of the season.
But, although a three-man panel is currently reviewing the verdict, Barrett thinks Leeds' appeal should be unsuccessful.
"I don't think you can suddenly change it at this stage of the season," said the centre back.
"If they do change it then it would allow all the others clubs affected to protest.
"The league would have checked everything very thoroughly at the time as well.
"It's not like it was a rash decision like a yellow or red card so I'm not sure what's changed.
"It would be crazy if they changed their minds but whatever happens won't affect us too much."
Leeds are currently sixth in the table, one place and five points below Blues.
