Good Morning Everyone Should Leeds progress, at the expense of Derby, they will face Aston Villa in the final. West Brom should have won the game comfortably on the night, but were unable to put away their chances. Finally after 120 minutes of near stalemate, the game had to be decided by spot kicks, and Villa held their nerves. Who'd like to see penalties tonight? In hindsight, would this be your preferred route to the final? Give me your predicted line up for this evening? Is anyone superstitious? If so, explain!! Is Elland Road the same 'fortress' it was 20 / 30 years ago when teams were scared to set foot on Elland Road? If not, why? Will tonight be different?
Too nervous to even consider penno's Couple of early goals would be great. Bellisa has so far accounted for 20% of Derbys losses this season. Lets hope to bump that stat up some more
Good Morning to Matt and co froma sunny Bardsey Well always thought we would play Villa in the finalI hope we don't get down to penalties WBA played both games with 10 men so Villa are not that good
Morning all If the play offs were done like every other competition WBA would be in the final on away goals and no extra time or penalties. Felt sorry for WBA but the bald manager killed it for them as he started to have his team defending deep and stopped his press. He took his best penalty taker off and a guy who could have been a great outlet by being able to hold the ball up and take pressure off, (The way he dispatched Mings in a shoulder to shoulder ) instead of bringing on a speedy headless chicken who hardly touched the ball. Villa are coached well by Terry as every time a player touched they scream and roll around on the deck. Their manager is a chav and needs a kicking...... Think we win tonight and think Bamford repays the team Think Wembley will be a feast of diving, screaming and crying when Leeds Unsullied get into Villa
Morning all. Dont want to contemplate or talk about whos at Wembley or what might happen. If we dont perform tonight, our lads could be on their summer holidays this time tomorrow with fat frank having the last laugh. I only care about stuffing Derby at this stage and it wont be on penalties
We will win tonight have no doubt. I was in derby yesterday morning and cursed derby as i passed their ground so its sorted. I dont want roofe on the pitch till the final as we can do this without him. Derby are a load of moaners at cos they have lampard Villa exactly the same with the thug john terry. I would rather play villa in the final anyway it works for me...
And then their were only three The good,the bad & the ugly left. Us being the good in white,with the most honorable man in football at the helm,the bad Villa,Smith/Terry screaming in the officials face,for every decision & the team diving and rolling around at every touch they receive from an opponent,and the Ugly (have you seen some of those Derby boat races) C'MON THE GOOD,the good will triumph MOT.
Is Elland road the fortress it was? probably and it needs to be tonight. Derby's only chance is to get our crowd onto our players backs. They will do all they can to get the murmurs starting and the anxiety levels to increase anybody who is going must remain positive and shout the roof off.
Well said Eire. Can't even think about the final until I know if we are there. Cannot contemplate the thought of extra time and penalties so let's hope we sort it in 90mins in our favour naturally.
