    From one set of Leeds-obsessed inbreds with 'B' 'r' 'n' 'l' 'e' and 'y' in their name to another. We did the double over this lot last season and did them again this season, so surely this is the game that will make things look half-rosy again with an exuberant Andros Townsend out-pacing everything in his way, a resurgent Lees battering every ball thrown at him by Burnley's hoofers at the back and Grayson overenthusiastically celebrating in Eddie Howe's face when we get the winner?

    Sorry, I had to TRY imagining something positive at least.

    1-1 draw and a tepid, horrible, typical Elland Road affair is my prediction.

    Becchio

    Townsend - Nunez - Sam

    Brown - Clayton

    White - Lees - O'Dea - Connolly

    McCarthy​

    COME ON YOU WHITES!

    Burnley win....
    2-1

    that might finally mean Bates puts GRAYSON out of his misery!

    We need a change and consolidate for the season.

    Lets face it we have no hope of going up and to be fair we are no where near good enough!

    ow ye of little faith,the season we got out of league 1.looked doomed with 6-7 games to go,1 mad max turned it around almost on his own.
    Maybe Andros can do the same,with a bit of help hopefully.;)

    Leeds 18, spot on with your selection, though I'd have Bruce or Bromby in there ahead of the useless O'Dear.
    1-1 sounds about right as well.

    Well we pulled a result out of the bag against Hull earlier in the season then after the Blackpool shambles we turned Leicester over so what better time to turn it around again. I put money on Leeds at 4-1 against Hull and I quite fancy us putting our problems behind us with what would be an equally impressive 3-1

    well i think it is anyone's guess who will be starting in the back line for this game, personally i'd play Bromby in there with Lees. But then i almost feel i cant comment on who has been playing well recently anyway since i havn't seen any of the last 3 games.

    Got a sneaky feeling we might see a young right back today, maybe turner or even thompson. with lees partnering absolutely anyone at CB!

    Apart from Lonergan starting in goal & maybe Bruce replacing O'Dea (he impressed at Huddersfield, so who knows?), your selection seems about right. I would have added Bromby to replace Connolly, but unfortunately Bromby's injured.

    2-1 defeat, with Grayson running away as soon as the game ends, probably to find Townsend's girlfriend to introduce himself...it's worked on other players partners!

    Good call Josh except for Bromby currently being injured.

    Bruce is in for Connolly, & no Lees. Possibly still injured.

    Bit of a shake up, not happy with our centre backs, I hope we can score 3 or 4 cos we are going to concede

    Kissa has gone off injured, and no replacement on bench, we should have had Gimpel on da bench

    No need Elland. Bruce is now at his natural position at CB
