Leeds United 2 Plymouth Argyle 1

Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ==================================================

Saturday 3pm, No Live feeds as yet

Welcome to Matchday 16 and a home game against newly promoted Plymouth.

Team news
LEEDS
Pascal Struijk will miss his first game of the season following a hernia operation. Spence is expected to be back after the international break. Expect Cooper to step in being a natural left sided centre back.
PLYMOUTH
Will continue to be without attacking duo Bundu and Hardie whilst Mickel Miller's suspension leaves them with no established left back. Imagine having no left back !!

Plymouth lie 19th with just 5 points from their last 6 games. They are a very attack minded team and do concede a lot of goals so should be a lively game.

Will go for a 3.1 win with Summerville and James on the scoresheet.
Over to you all for predictions and line ups and finally in the customary manner.

Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

What a crazy scoreline I'm amazed we didn't win that by at least 4 goals even 5 wouldn't have flattered us but a win is a win I suppose although I hope goal difference doesn't hamper our promotion chances because then this game could haunt us but apart from being wasteful and showboating too much we really did look a class above them and with the international break upon us I hope our next game away at Rotherham the players have come back injury free and with their shooting boots sharpened.

A belated thanks for joining in.
Very drunk and burnt to a cinder in the heat.

Love this team

I'm not sure whether Firpo could have done more to cut out the cross for their goal but if Byram isn't fit for Rotherham then as Firpo still makes me nervous I think I'd prefer Shacks there if he's fit.

Don't think it was Firpos man as he was marking the right winger. Think it was a cm bursting through. Think Cooper should have covered the space and Ampadu lost his man.

I'm clearly not as thrilled with the team as most are on here. Once again, we failed to take good chances, once again we sat back on a slender lead, once again we conceded a sloppy goal due to poor defending. And again we resorted to panic defending for a while although we did regain composure to see the game out. But 2-1 was unnecessarily close – as Jermaine B said at half time, we need to 'get ruthless' and put matches to bed.

Rotherham are 22nd, if firpo isn't able to start against them he shouldn't be in the squad

Nervy at the end but that’s six points we’ve gained on Leicester in two games.

Showing the ability to grind out difficult results is always a good thing.

yep! One or 2 need to grow up a bit. Rutter led on his back laughing after missing a sitter that would have put the game safe. No room for champagne charlie's in this league!
