Leeds fan in peace. This is a very difficult game to predict. We’ve definitely suffered with 2nd season syndrome. At the same time we’ve had a really bad run of injuries and will still have key players out Sunday. We are playing quite well without being great. Important we just stay up this season so we can then move on hopefully on and off the pitch. We have 25,000 on a season ticket waiting list so it’s important we increase the capacity to bring in more matchday revenue. Off the pitch we were a shambles for years under Bates and Cellino. We are a good ship now but that doesn’t guarantee you stay up. Plenty of bars to drink in town, will accept away fans but be weary of some of our element. Atmosphere will be old school with 2 ends of the ground singing, sure you make a racket too.

Any boozers near the ground that are away fans mate? Haven’t been to Elland road in a while.

Who are the missing key players, Andy? We still have two major players missing (Fofana and Justin) and a few still struggling to find form and fitness following injuries. 

 

Our form is patchy and style has become slow and predictable although we have some very capable players. Defending corners and crosses into our box is a big problem for us. 

 

I've never been to Elland Road but would be good to visit before it loses its old school vibe as have most stadiums.

Elland Road is an essential experience, don't think I've ever seen us win though which is surprising as we have a good record there over the years. I remember Ian Rush tearing us a new arsehole back in the late 90's and them scoring a last min equaliser the year we were in League One together.

 

Monumental night put after, I woke up in a bush outside Grosvenor casino at 7am. My mate had to pull over on the M1 as well for me to honk on the hard shoulder.

I genuinely don't remember this. Didn't Rushie only score a couple of goals in about 50 games for them? Were they both against us? Typical if it was lol

 I think that was when MON marched over to the fans at the end and actually collared 3 or 4 at the front to pass a message on to fans. Firstly to apologise for the performance and secondly that we'd never see such a weak, lazy display again under him. And he was right, we never looked back.

I remember St Kitts and Nevis legend Harry P (I’m not even going to try and spell his last name, sorry Harry) scoring an injury time winner at Ellend Rd. - Possibly his only goal, maybe even his only game for us. Must have been 10 years ago now, what an amazing 10 years it’s been!

If Brendan insists on his totally boring tactics they will take us to the cleaners.

 

Way to much respect shown for the opposition. Get into em and fvck em up.

 

If nothing else we could enjoy it instead of getting bored. Ya gotta feel sorry for the players being sent out to play like they are.

I’d like to see us try a 4:3:3 again for this. 
Schmeichel

Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Castagne 

Tillermanz Ndidi Soumare

Lookman Vardeh Barnes

 

a somewhat classic attacking line up with Ndidi allowing us some overdrive from midfield. 
 

It’s a hopeful allowance of Barnes and Lookman being able to scare the living daylights out of Leeds in the final Richard.

Oh to be playing like we were last season we went there almost exactly a year ago. We've regressed so much since then it is hard to believe we won so well that day.

Frankly I'm not expecting anything positive out of the game right now. Perhaps we could play with some real intensity and purpose for a change rather than playing at a snail's pace and passing side ways a lot. perhaps a couple of decent efforts on target each half? Probably asking too much. We've become too frightened to play attacking football from what I've seen this season. Not sure what has happened but we just look like a lower mid table team right now most of the time with the occasional bit of top quality play.

 

They won't give us any space and we hate that and seem incapable of dealing with it. Again suspect we will need to score at least 3 to win.

Id like to see 4 at the back. But big Dan can't be dropped at the moment. 

 

I'd keep it fluid, 442 which can mutate to 5211

 

Kapser

Big Dan at RB

Castagen LB

Cags and Evans

 

Ricky RM

Wilf & youri 

Madders or Barnes LM 

 

Kel and Vards up front

Has Amartey at RB ever worked? 

 

Maddison should never play on the wing either.

The way it's listed is perhaps a bit too linear. 

 

Amartey can play RB but the role would fluctuate between RB and right centre half, dependent on the game situation and where Ricky is on the pitch. 

 

Maddison, true isn't isn't winger. But playing on the left is just more an area of the pitch for him to occupy, rather than playing wide. Gives Castagne a foil too
