Leeds Utd v Nottingham Forest

Saturday 8th August 2019 12.30pm | Elland Road


Leeds first home game of their centennial season see's them welcoming Nottingham Forest to Elland Road. Leeds and Forest have always had a rocky relationship dating back to the Don Revie - Brian Clough days, however Forest fans still hold a grudge from last season when Roofe earned Leeds a point having scored with his hand at close range.

Leeds have no fresh injury worries. Jamie Shackleton is regaining his fitness after time spent on the treatment table, whilst Ayling and Roberts continue to be ruled out. After a steady performance against Bristol City, Stuart Dallas looks set to retain his right back slot.

Even with an influx of players expecting to arrive at Elland Road before Thursday tea time's transfer deadline, Bielsa very rarely changes a winning team.

Sabri Lamouchi's first competitive game for Forest ended up in a 2-1 home defeat against West Brom last weekend. Since then, the former French International has signed defender Carl Jenkinson from Arsenal and Caen shot stopper Brice Samba to tighten up their defence.

 

4-2 win.

2 for Florist due to our dodgy defence/keeper

 

2-1

 

3-0

 

2-0

 

This has got 0-0 written all over it

 

Moaning about Roofes handball last year. If I remember rightly we laid siege on their goal for majority of the game! They can't get that lucky again! 2-0 Leeds

 

PMA 3-1 to us

 

I’ll take any win, a 2 goal lead with 15 minutes to go and the introduction of a possible new signing would be a bonus.

Costa off the bench again, not sure it will be Forshaw’s place under pressure though after the Bristol win

 

Given Bielsa's track record, I'd expect the same team to start as last week - unless we've got more injuries.

 

Same team and another 3-1 win

 

So thank **** all that transfer window bollox is over,
We have a good side and an excellent coach,
Bring it on,buckle up the rollercoaster restarts here,
MOT

 

Has anyone received their new membership cards yet ? Haven’t got mine.

 

Phone them up, only need your number to order tickets, should have had by now, and heard a few have been nicked due to being in with free gifts.

 

Please be aware due to the expansion of the park and ride on Elland rd spaces may be reduced. This will also mean the north stand can never be extented on to this land.
Leeds utd have however issued a statement saying they are looking into getting another car park on loan for next season.

 

That's heavy man

 

Not got ours (sons) as well Dirty. It seems to happen before the season starts a lot. But once you've your number you'll be grand.

 

Sorry m8, they are bulldozing Wakefield for a car park, and also as a favour, for the Rhino's.

 

Afternoon Mr Shako et al. I haven't got mine either, and they've had my cash for months. I have my number from last year anyway, but it annoys me like paying through the nose for a game on LUTV which they then can't deliver annoys me.

Any danger this match might be postponed because of the weather?

 

Well I'm over with Shane in the morning and I'm just back from the A+E and told I've bronchitis. On all sorts of crap. Anyway the up shot of it is I can't drink... So watching the game sober, what a bloody liberty.
