Last time I was there it was in the same place, so it'll always be Lansdown Road to me, and never a good place for an English visit, check the recent history. As for the League players defecting, Union is more like League all the time. And yes , Leeds to hammer Boro, we need a springboard for the next few or the season's over.
Quietly confident about this one, reckon we'll win it by a couple of goals. 'Boro haven't scored in a while and are low on confidence, we have a good record against them and they're terrible on Sky.
Another 4:15 am game for me, and flying back to LA Friday night! What poor planning!! Hopefully I can find a decentstream this time. Last game (Yeovil) was horrendous!
Butland should start tomorrow regardless of whether Kenny is fit or not. Mowatt and Austin in centre mid for me. McCormack partnered up front with Smith, as mentioned in the original post they were forming a good partnership before the stupid suspension. Quietly confident of a good win for Leeds and a clean sheet due to our new keeper- 2-0 Leeds with Ross to score first. 45-1 with William Hill. (Cheeky fiver on that.) (Its not about how hard we can hit, its how hard we can get hit and keep moving forward. How much we can take and keep moving forward. You gotta be willing to take the hits, thats how winning is done.)
It is a game Leeds United has to win if we are to dream of reaching the 6th place by the end of the season and trying to get promoted through the play offs. Without a win today, I am afraid the season is over. Come on United, keep our dream alive!!!!
We need to get into this game quickly, instead of only coming alive after we concede or wait till the 2nd half to start playing. Hope the new keeper has a blinder today(if he plays), but I still think we need another decent striker, expressive midfielder, a defender and some decent wingers..but that's for another day.........
Morning all, couldn't sleep because of the match and the thoughts of a drinking session today. 5 th day off the booze, think I deserve a few cold ones. I take it Elland that this is instead of the Sat breakfast debate thread...
Morning - selfish reasons for wanting a win, will be at QPR game and it would be nice to start that one with fantasy we still have a chance this season. Hope we do pick a balanced team and we get a performance today. I am still not seeing the core of a promotion side for next season, my only hope - realistically - is that by end of season we'll really be able to say 'these 7/8 are good enough, just need to add 3/4 quality signings Good thread btw. That scorers list is frighteningly thin 1-1 draw for me
What time is this to be out of bed on a Matchday? Fooking sky. I am missing my beauty sleep, and if ur watching on the tele ur a Cnut! Brief match report on my return.

Same here Elland. Unfortunately feels like a bit of a nothing match with two teams destined for mid table, so Im not terribly upset at missing it. Having said that, I have SKY at my work so will catch second half during dinner break
Trouble ahead? Murphy & Austin in midfield. Seems fine until you consider ... leon wobschall ‏@LeonWobYP 10m Your referee today is Anthony Taylor, sent off 3 at Leeds v Boro in Aug 011 at ER - Howson, Gradel, McMahon - spoiling the game
Mathematically no, realistically yes. Cant win two in a row let alone put together a run of required five or six wins required to get into top six. Too many passengers in squad and team. I know you believe otherwise Boggers and fair play to you. My focus is firmly on our summer activity and next season. Ive long since written off this car crash of a season
Fair enough Eire. Cup still at least half full as ever, but realistically you are right. Next season & a couple of additions & competing for auto is more likely.
Couple of additions will get us towards play offs next season Boggers. Were currently 18 points off autos, a gap which will likely widen. That will require more than two additions, at least six quality ones will be required to bridge that and the possibility of a different manager also. But as always we'll agree to differ Boggers
