Good afternoon Leeds fans, Newcastle fan in peace. Was just after your thoughts on Sunday's game? How do you think it will go? We are bringing 4000 down, hopefully none running on the pitch this time. Its been a pretty terrible pre-season so far for us. 2-0 win at Darlo but 2 injuries, a 0-0 draw at Kansas City and Ben Arfa spraining his ankle. 1-0 defeat to Orlando City with Coloccini and Ryan Taylor getting injured. Danny Simpson had to leave due to the birth of his premature daughter. Joey Barton, Nile Ranger, Yohan Cabaye all not able to travel with the squad to the US. We have one more game tonight against Columbus Crew, can't wait for it to be over with. I think it will be a tough game, you have a great group of players who clearly fight for the shirt and the fans. It will be a good test for us. I personally think it will be a draw but it just depends on who plays. I have been to Leeds 5 times, never seen us lose, 4 wins and 1 draw so its a bit of a lucky ground for me I think. Good luck in your push for promotion next season.
would be happy with a draw to be honest We are lacking fire power up front and it will be interesting to see Brown going into battle with your midfielders especially if Smith gets a run out! Tickets are only available to members/ST holders for you guys i think, something to do with the Darlington trouble.
Leeds always seem to do well in pre season against Prem teams. I think we drew 0-0 at St James in pre season a couple of years ago, and we had a 3-2 win against Wolves last pre season, so I could see us winning
im looking forard to that game, the main test for us obviously seeing as your a league above us. I'd be happy with a draw but i expect us to be really pushing for a win as you guys would be, we struggling for goalscoring strikers at the moment but we have plenty of goalscorers from midfield. Should be a good test all in all
We've also beaten Burnley and drawn with Blackburn in the last couple of years as well. Not to mention our games against Prem in the cup. We seem to be holding our own against the Prem teams, it's the bloody championship teams we **** up against. Thank God Preston went down !
As long as we keep playing the football we have played so far in pre season I will be happy as we have knocked it about very well at times. Would be good to gauge how well this works against higher class oppo where we will be closed down far quicker and under more pressure on the ball.
a few low scoring games and I'm a little worried that the killer instinct we had in front of goal last season has (somehow) vanished.
That's not just for Leeds, that's the case for the rest of the season. 7-8 people fighting on the pitch has ruined it for everyone. I am a ST holder and have no problem getting tickets due to the amount of loyalty points gathered. Its Mike Ashley though, he won't be bothered about the trouble, he would have saw an opportunity to make some money here. £25 to become a member, thousands will pay it as we take thousands away but a lot just wait until general sale.
Ken Bates has been robbing us for the membership for miles longer than that We have both got Knobheads running our Clubs but I think our Knobhead is cleverer than yours lol
For me it will be how many we can not concede or if we can keep a clean sheet. We probably will have near to the starting back four and keeper in place along with defensive midfielder, I would be happy with 0-0... Attacking wise with injuries I am not too bothered if we don't score, would be a bonus if McCormack could nab a goal or two and give himself some confidence.
it is nice to listen to a good supporter who talks the truth ---good luck next season i hope newcastle do well for you----i think we will sneak it 2-1 on sun
I think it will be promising if we can at least keep the defence tight at the beginning of the season as Becchio will be back soon enough and hopefully we can have a good attack and defence (I know, mad).
