Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off 8.15pm, Live on Sky Sports & Talksport.
Welcome to Matchday 25, the last game of 2023, a year we will wish to forget.
Team news
LEEDS
Darlow in for the suspended Meslier, no other injury concerns reported
WEST BROM
No changes from their boxing day victory over Norwich.
Will Daniel Farke finally make changes
Which Leeds Team will turn up
Can we make a substitution that changes the game
Will West Brom follow the Natural Order...defend deep, score on the break and kick Summerville
Why are we always rubbish over the festive season
Being positive I'll go for a 2.1 victory.
Over to you all for pre match thoughts and predictions.
Can we go Live once again please Admins ,

Oh and I see we played in that vomit inducing pink kit again. Have we lost every time we've worn it? Why oh why do these marketing people think that colour strip has any relevance to the history and traditions of Leeds United? I hope the players refuse to wear it from now on.

Excuse me! I’ve just got the pink top for Christmas!!

As a fashion item then I suppose some people will like it and buy it like your good self but that doesn't mean I have to like the club I love playing in a strip colour that has no relevance to the history of Leeds United.
Each to their own, you obviously like it. I hate it.

What we lack is that nasty tough championship experienced player who doesn’t do all the fancy stuff but annoys defenders and knows how to score ugly
To summarise: we’re too nice

I get friends and people at work always asking about that awful pink kit and why we have it.

It's fine for Christmas, Maidin, just like my woolly jumper with elves and reindeer, but I wouldn't wear it on a football pitch. And it is probably 100% responsible for our terribel away form.

Positive post.
We are 1 point nearer Ipswich than we were before we beat them,
Southampton are the ones to watch. They have 9 points out of the last three games. We have 3. Ipswich have 2.
A long way to go yet and it can change very quickly.

Still stands!

All those who were saying Ipswich and or Leicester will blow up are now realising it is us that have. Truly awful last 2 games and I for one have no confidence we can hang on to a play off place based on what we are seeing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You really don’t think we’ll make the playoffs? That’s ridiculous
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We should make the play offs but seeing Southampton pulling away and West Brom now only 3 behind us has to set alarm bells ringing. Add to that the way bang average sides like PNE and Coventry can nullify our attack quite easily and we are right to worry.
The heads in the sand attitude of last season "no way are we getting relegated" springs to mind

Farke was right though - that foul on Gnonto should have been a Penalty and a red card.
How one mistake by officials can change a game.
As for us not being able to break down teams - that’s West Brom’s 12th clean sheet of the season evidently. So it ain’t just us who can’t score against them.

Sorry to see you guys have had a couple of unwanted results (after a good run).
How is Djed Spence doing?
Does he suit your system?
He looking any good?
