    Could go either way this one and possibly the expectation at Leeds will work in our favour. We will miss Alex as he made us more of an attacking force but hopefully his replacement will pick up where he left off. I have seen some battles at Elland Road over the years and expect this one to be another hard fought game. I think that there will be a few goals and one team will have to score at least three to win it.
    If we can keep 11 players on the pitch for 90 mins then we will have a chance.

    Still remember that play off game. We were in the south of France and had a very good lunch with plenty of wine before finding a tiny bar where the owner said he'd be able to show the game. I watched it with 3 Leeds fans, all of who left after the third goal but we'd bought each other beers at regular intervals. I managed to stagger back to the villa and fell asleep under a cherry tree with a braod grin on my face. Mrs H says I made little sense for at least 24 hours! I wouldn't mind the same result again!

    Our learning & development manager at work is a Leeds fan - I think the last thing he wants is an away win today after having had stick from one of the administration managers who is a Forest fan...

    I was in South Africa, in what goes for the highlands, for that game. It was snowing outside and I watched the game in the bar of the place I was staying with a Leeds fan. The broadcaste was from Mozambique so the commentary was in Portugese. Didn't need the commentary though. Will probably miss this game as it's 12.40 and I've just got in from a party (Mrs NZ is still there but someone had to relieve the babysitter).

    I was in Cardiff in the Millennium :). What a great day it was......!

    I remember the Leeds arrogance from then, they were all saying we're going to get smashed before the game. Then afterwards we had to walk past the long long road of Leeds coaches to get to our car, and I don't think I've ever seen a worse bunch of people.

    I bet he is, its games like this that could loose him his job. If we win today it puts him under huge pressure!!

    I was there too. We traveled up in a limo and parked in a car park 5mins from the ground and walked over. The atmosphere was electric and the weather was beautiful!! If only they had left the roof open!! I will never forget it.
