    Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd

    Friday 23rd August@20:00hrs | Hillsborough


    Leeds head off to Hillsborough on Friday evening in search of their first win of the season, against a Wendies side equally desperate to recover from their drubbing last weekend at Sunderland.

    The Black Cats exploited some terrible early defending, finding themselves 3-0 up after just half an hour. This brought an end to the Owl's impressive start to their campaign (having smashed Plymouth Argyle 4-0 on the opening game of the season, followed by knocking Hull City out of the Caribou Cup).

    This time around Leeds will undoubtedly find the task a lot more difficult. They've lost much of their creative influence this Summer, and are yet to find their feet. The 0-0 nil at the Hawthorns last week should at least give the squad a psychological boost ahead of the Yorkshire derby. Both sides don't have any new injury worries.

    Max Wober is still struggling with a calf injury, which has kept him sidelined from training this week, whilst Wendies shot-stopper Ben Hamer is yet to recover from the knock he picked up in pre-season - James Beadle will once again deputise. Manager Danny Rohl could revert to a more defensive 5/3/2 formation to keep the Leeds forwards in check.

    Would hate to try and predict this one, 1-1 and we could say winless, we could say unbeaten

    I think this is a must Win, not in terms of promotion or playoffs but just to settle the fans angst against the board down.

    Both Gemini AI and Chat GPT agree with the 1-1 score line.

    As for me then its Sheff Wed 0 - 2 Leeds United (Piroe Penalty and a Gnonto tap in )

    Surely Farke doesn’t need another game to see he isn’t a 10

    Unfortunately there is nobody else. Aaronson will just get booted off the park at Sheffield.

    He will play a joint no 9 role with Joseph as I mentioned in that thread where we both posted our guessed or preferred formation for this game ;)

    Hence there will be no number 10 role with my formation :)

    Aaronson has looked okay in his performances so far, I’d give him a go because this Piroe experiment isn’t working.

    Why do Sky Sports always use that Leeds hating ****er Hinchcliffe as co coms on all our games. He’s pissed me off with his pre-match comments already. Might as well have said I hope Wednesday smash them.

    I read earlier in the week that Piroe was going to be dropped, thought it was just click bait. Personally I think he should be sold and someone brought in that suits the Farke system. Jury still out on Joseph for me.
