Grot bags a brace, but Cumdog steals the show. .
That is hopefully the headline on Sunday morning. My prediction then? A 3-2 win.
We have a decent record against Leeds recently, at home, it's W3D2 from the last five meetings.
Outside of the Cup, Leeds have won two away and drawn two st home. Forest with three wins in four. Leeds are unbeaten so far, Forest with just the one loss. We're both newly crafted sides, Leeds even more so, with their 13th signing confirmed yesterday.
Team wise I'd expect:
Smith
Darikwa Worrall Mills Traore
Bouchlakis Bridcutt
McKay Dowell Osborn
Murphy
Evtimov, Mancienne, Lichaj, Carayol, Clough, Brereton, Cummings
It should be a cracking game. Hopefully there is a decent stream, as the AU rights haven't been sorted yet and it's not on iiFollow.

"Win and it has been an excellent start for the Reds!"
I am glad you re-evaluated.
McKay and Mills looked your best players in this game.
Hopefully you now have an understanding of why we feel so good about our club right now.
Other than 55-65th minute, I felt we really dominated the game. The stats (18 shots to 5) really tell the whole story.
It sounded like your fans created a good atmosphere, one of the better ones on tv. The small Leeds contingent, usually 2,000 - 3,000 usually out sings the home crowd.
Good luck for your season!

It was a duff performance from Forest. I wouldn't read lots into it. Leeds did what they needed to do and did it well. They look set for a good season but it is a long one as you found out last time.
Forest fans are full of optimism after having the yoke of the Al Hasawi regime removed. It has been a good atmosphere at the CG for a while since home fans were allowed wind both goals again.
Shame it kicked off outside in Lady Bay Bridge. One bloke had his nose broken by one of Yorkshire's finest amoebas, apparently. It must be frustrating that their reputation sullys the rest of the Leeds fans.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see if Leeds can go one better than last season. Good luck.

Not at all BUT as stated by Red Forest Bear ( Bear Knows) (U6288) 'You're in for a shock then!'
Oh we were shocked at how bad you are

Let's hope you don't choke again like last year then. But I guess Leeds fans are used to that by now.

Do you know any more about this? How it started? I think you may have just written how it finished. 😜

Nothing to add to what took place, allegedly?
