    Bottom line is that today is a must win ... lose and Forest are six points ahead and it becomes extremely difficult to catch them ... draw and Forest remain three points clear and they gain more confidence

    We can't expect to get anything from Scum, they are focused on Chumps Lge now and really going for it, driven by the poor seasons Chelsea and Pool are having ... six points from the Leeds games will be huge for them at this stage, and if they beat us twice it will finish off BlueScum and the BinDippers chances of catching them

    Marsch has to get a win at Forest, anything less and we could be seriously adrift after the Scum games ... it's either going to be a nail biter today, or Leeds simply blow them away ... thing is, Forest would love nothing more than to contribute to our relegation, and they'' see today as a huge opportunity towards cementing their survival ... they know a win will give them breathing space and heap a mountain of pressure on the teams below them ... with Wolves starting to gel under Lopetegui and Everton starting to scrap under Dyche, Leeds cannot afford anything less than a win today

    The vibe around Leeds will get very toxic if Forest win today, here's hoping Marsch has finally got his message across and the narrow ball is in fact the greatest formation world football has ever seen ... maybe Brazil use it at the bext World Cup!!

    After all, what do we know?

    It's not a must win.

    There's 19 games left. 57 points to play for. A draw would be decent enough today. Forest are a handful at home.

    Cooper will know how slow PS is, Johnson could have a field day. PS will have to be at his absolute best.

    Needs to be a point at least though.

    Please stop with the "another 19 games to go"

    It's about affecting the table, affecting the teams around you, about building momentum ... it's about managing the gap to relegation and the gap to the teams above you ... of the "another 19 games to go" THIS is one that's a must win ... every game against teams around you is a must win, specially if they're a few points above you

    Today is a must win for Leeds to get a bit further away from those below, and to reel in Forest and Leicester ... it also helps to end Forest's momentum and hopefully put a little dent in their confidence ... a draw is not enough in this fixture

    Lose today, and after Scum you'll be saying "relax, another 16 games to go" with Leeds stuck in bottom three and Forest out of sight

    No, today is the vital moment where Leeds have to win the drag Forest back and get ourselves going ... anything else is unacceptable and very, very dangerous

    We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

    Losing is bad today. I'll concede that.

    Drawing is OK if we beat them back at ER later. That's 4 points off them for the season.

    A win today would be great but not a must.

    The only must win game is the last game of the season when nothing less than 3 points would guarantee survival.

    All other games we strive to win to avoid that scenario.

    In your opinion.

    I'm just a bit more patient than most fans and look for the good as well as the bad. You won't see me shy away from criticising Marsch and his tactics but I will give him credit for things that go well.

    He's had two windows to get this squad together. The buck stops with him from here. I would rather the Rutter money was spent on a left back and another centre back if I'm honest and that's on Marsch.

    Wober on the left side of central defence. Good move.
