Fresh off a good result at the weekend comes one of our toughest matches of the season in Leeds. Everyone will remember how they dumped us out of the playoffs 4-0, hopefully some players are out to avenge that memory and others that weren't at the club can play without that on their backs. Kick off is 7:45pm tomorrow.

Squad update
Chrisene - Concussion out for next 2 games
Sorensen/Fassnacht - targeting return after the international break
Gibbs - out for 10 weeks
Hernandez - out for 10 weeks
Barnes - Back in boot for achillies injury - this is a new set back - may need surgery
Springett out until Christmas

The Opposition
Leeds are fifth in the league standings after a positive start to the campaign. Having started the season with two draws, they've since won four of their last five. In that run, they have beaten Coventry City, Cardiff City, Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday. However, they're now expected to be without captain Ethan Ampadu until later in the year after he picked up an injury at the weekend.

The Manager
Daniel Farke
Is there much we don't know about this man? He seems to be under pressure at Leeds but you would be hard pressed to find a manager with his CV at this level.

Positive vibes!!!

ON THE BALL CITY!!!

Leeds central defender Ampadu, injured during their game at the weekend, is reportedly sidelined until into the new year. That's a big blow for them.
 
Is Barnes out of contract at the end of the season? If so we have probably seen the last of him.

Yes, he is -- unless the club exercise their option for a further year.

If they did exercise that option I would be astonished. As players get older they become more injury prone and a player of his age who has been out for a long period never regains full fitness - Hanley is another example.

Our bench feels younger than ever, am I imagining things? Maybe the squad as a whole - I make it just four over 30 (Duffy, McClean, Hanley and Long) in the squad of 20 and only two more over 24 (Stacey and Gunn). Average age of the rest around 20.
