    We'll be the better side today.

    With Rapha and Roddy back we should look better up top.

    We need to find that winning feeling again. We aren't going to pick many points up in December on current form.
    so these next 3 are massive Brighton away Palace, Brentford Home.
    We have to find 2 wins if we don't I see us in the bottom 3 at Xmas.

    On the player front yes we have been really unlucky on injuries and the cry is we will be okay when we have everyone back.
    but we can't play on that forever. sooner or later we will find ourselves chasing. if we keep that mentality it's something we don't want to do in this division.
    we have to stay with that middle to lower bunch.
    Lose to Brighton today and they will have 9 points on us that's 3 wins and probably 4 games to turn around doesn't sound a lot but in this league its massive.
    not saying Brighton are the teams to chase to stay up but that's where this club should be pushing for.
    We have to start winning games simple as that. this game is there for the taking and if we ambitions to stay in this league these are the games we need to go too and come home with points or a point.
    winning tonight would set us up for 2 home games with teams around us and things could look alot brighter come the middle of December
    I personally think We are now on that edge and the next 3 games are massive mentally. are we going to slip in or are we digging in and finding that extra step.
    We can't rely on other teams to lose each week to keep our heads above water if we want to do something we have to do it ourselves.
    I just don't know what to expect from this team at the moment one moment you see signs of it all coming back then the next you say damn we are in trouble.
    Come On Leeds make my weekend !

    4-2-3-1 I think. Happier with 2 in midfield.

    Nah, looks like Brighton playing 3-5-2.

    We usually play 3-3-3-1 against 2 strikers.

    ------------Meslier
    Llorente--Phillips- Cooper
    Dallas - Forshaw - Firpo
    Rapha --- James - Harrison
    ------- ------'Rodrigo

    The front 4 are interchangeable and will rotate positions. We will transfer to a back 5 when defending.

    If Brighton are brave with their wide players it will force our wing backs in to a 5 and we will struggle. It's all on Dallas and Firpo to force them back. If we lose those man to man matches it will be like the 2nd half last week. If we win them we dominate the game.

    I'm very worried about Lampteys pace against Firpo. Harrison will have to work very hard today. On the other flank I'm very happy with Dallas and Raphinha against Cuccerella.

    We could end up having some joy on the counter today. Both their wing backs love to get forward.

    I spent years playing the game in midfield and always knew who had the ball but was always looking around to see where the ball should go next. Its a habit I got whilst playing and I hardly ever look at the ball even watching on the telly even now.

    1-3 Leeds win. Just a hunch. For what it’s worth.

    Brighton have not won in the last 7.

    There is no reason why we shouldn't win
