    I’d agree with them when you look at Leeds’ recent run and home record this season. 3 wins in our last 10 away from home.

    6/1 is similar price to Exeter v Forest last week mate. I know cos I backed Exeter for my freeze

    We should be 4 max we are overpriced. If we go ahead half the UK will freeze their coupons and Sky will get absolutely gang banged.

    Just to confirm that referee Stuart Attwell will now take charge of Leeds United v Sunderland & not Craig Pawson. #LUFC

    I know 2 Leeds season ticket holders and both have said they have the best attacking full backs in the league but can sometimes get exposed at the back because of them being so far forward. I hope this is something we can use to our advantage with the pace we have upfront.
    Ive also been told by one of them that they struggle more against teams that want to attack and not just sit back, so for that reason i say get Mundle on from the beginning and play him for an hour at least from the offset

    I'd personally cut out having too many passes in midfield tbh.

    We can't allow them to take the ball off us there and attack.

    I'd defend quite deep, attack at speed and not be afraid of long balls to our runners.

    Feel really relaxed about tonight, absolutely no pressure on us and think that could really work in our favour

    Cheers RTB, exciting game. First time Ive feared a team could blow us away this season but seen enough from us that we can get something here too. Just great to be in these big games again, it’s felt so long.

    Probably the first time I don’t envy RLB, big call at centre half and big call at centre mid. Don’t like 5 at the back personally but another realistic option (don’t think we will play it).

    I think it’ll be Meptham in for Ballard and that’s it. We’ve trusted the midfield two of Neil/jobe with Le fee Rigg Roberts behind Isidor so think that’s what it’ll be unless Rigg isn’t fit.

    Even though it’s a game that probably makes sense for samed, I don’t want us too negative so would rather stick with a natural 10 in Rigg if fit.

    I’ll be happy if we’re competitive, a win would be absolutely massive. HTL

    I think we know without tonight that this team has come on loads from last season!

    What's even better is how far the club has come under this ownership!

    HTL!
