Out on a limb here but going for 0-4 Leeds win today. I have a feeling the squad has clicked and we have enough fire power to score goals. Keep their heads and don’t worry about the pressure cooker and we are too good. Obviously could be looking a prat by 4pm today and Ristac shouting at me for not believing him
If we do not win today and put in a bad performance the knives will be out. Three bad games and he should be gone but will he get Yanked.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Eternal Optimism of The Leeds United Mind. Should make a good movie.
I think we’ll win, I might be able to convince myself we’d have 4 goals in us but keeping a clean sheet, 3-4 I might have believed you I don’t need to tell you to believe me, I’m pretty sure you’re not convinced that Jesse is good enough. Jesse did say he has learnt a lot about the PL since he has been here, maybe being a younger generation coach but still old enough to have a bit of wisdom he can adapt.
I'll be satisfied with a draw Milky. Tough game today for us and you have to take it game by game without looking at what's to come.
Why do you think we'll win Rich ? Forest are good at home, even during their tough start to the season they always performed well and now their home form is right up there.
It’s more about having too, season defining almost, it will sound madness but here goes. I honestly don’t feel we will be relegated. If we lose this game, the next two will be nailed on certs for defeat (in my mind) so we’ll be bottom three and facing two crunch games. I think three defeats now and it would be one nail in the coffin time, the board aren’t sacking Jesse so this is our lot. A win today and we’ll sneak a point (at least) next two, then our two crunch games, the pressure will be on them more than us. I’m battling with my own mind, lose today we will be favourites for the drop, a win and we can build momentum.
Has anyone on here actually watched Forest play at home this season ? Jeez talk about not knowing your onions.
Leeds fans on the happy pills this morning. I was quietly confident… but now all this rampant optimism elsewhere has left me with a sense of pride before a fall and impending doom we’re going to be 3 down in 20 minutes… and it’s going to be your fault not Jesse’s
I also feel Everton will be safe now with Dyche, West Ham have too much quality they will come good meaning who else is for the drop? Wolves, Leicester or Forest. Forest have a horrible February and March fixture list and their GD stinks, we need them to be drawn back into the battle.
Well presuming you're going to watch today's match then you'll see they're pretty useful, keep a good shape defensively so are hard to break down and are a real handful on the break. It's 50/50 and could go either way.
In the league, Forest have never scored more than two goals so are we dead certs if we get three goals
I have. If you let the crowd get them on the front foot they can build up a head of steam. They’ve created chances and given chances up. Given we’re pretty unlikely to sit back and counter them, it could be an open game. I’m a bit worried at the thought of Johnson running wide at whoever plays left back… but to be fair I’m concerned about something similar every week. Both sides will have chances. Will be about who takes them. Needs to be us for once.
Yes and we’re better against teams who go all-out attack. Won’t take much to score against them. So I repeat: Forest 1-3 Leeds
Todays game will end up as Nottingham Forest 3 - Leeds United 3. Whether its us taking a 3-0 lead and throwing it away, or fighting back from being 3-0 down, or a game of nip and tuck, one thing I am confident on, is that it probably won't be a game for those weak of heart. Thus put your money on a 0-0 bore draw after that prediction
