Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off 8pm, Live on Sky Sports and Talksport.
Welcome to matchday 36 and another Yorkshire derby this time it's off to Sheffield. Not only are the players weary, I'm feeling the same with so many games lately.
Team news
LEEDS
Quoting our manager, expect more or less the same squad that was available for Stoke.A few knocks and a few hits but apart from this everyone came through
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY
Missing only the on loan from us Ian Poveda and may be one or two changes from their 1.0 victory over Plymouth
Wednesday have won 5 from the last 6, just behind us in the form guide and this will be tough tough game no doubt.
However we had the very rare luxury of winning without playing well on Tuesday night and we are the clean sheet specialists, which will give the players a great feeling that this season is ours for the taking.
Will go for a 2.0 victory with Summerville coming back to form. Over to the best fans in 606 for your predicted line ups and scorelines.
Can we go Live once again please Admins

Felt worried before the game because they’d won 4 in 5, Yorkshire derby away from home.
We’ve won 11 in 12, barely conceded in goal in that time, we shouldn’t have been worrying about anything.
On a game by game basis, you’d back us to win every game now till end of the season. Obviously we won’t win 10 in a row but each game, you’d back us

Listened to the commentary, had to move from Lutv to talk sport as lutv is a gash app.
We seemd to be fine, once we got the goal it seemed like we were ever really in danger of losing once we went ahead.
I will point out that the comments about Bamford before compared to after the goal are laughable.
Don't know why people slate him so much, but there you go.

Cheers all, a beer calls

Another game won against a team fighting relegation. If only we could have got the win at Huddersfield - but they kicked our players off the park and the ref didn’t stop it. Fingers crossed that results go for us tomorrow now. Nice to be in 2nd again if only for a few hours.

Sloppy if you read this thread you'll see until we scored your boys made it extremely uncomfortable for Leeds and I was very impressed with the way Wednesday stuck at it played football not hoofball and I think if you'd had this new manager you've got now at the beginning of the season you'd be challenging for the play-offs
I think you have an excellent chance of staying up and despite losing tonight you should take a lot of positives
and we'll try and do you a favour by beating Millwall,
Blackburn and QPR in the coming weeks and I hope your boys can do us a favour next week at Ipswich.

Great win! I didn’t see or hear any of it unfortunately 😔
Sounds like we dug in first half and then the class eventually showed through. Pleased for Paddy. Gnonto getting back to his best too.

Were due a Leicester/Ipswich/Southampton cratering
tomorrow. Really hoping they all lose and we hold our
second place spot. Solid win tonight.

Can't see us losing another game. Even when not at our best we're winning and keeping clean sheets. Sheff Wed arguably one of the harder remaining games.

Macca is appreciate the comment. I've just posted on the Jonty thoughts thread as I didn't see this until after. I thought Leeds quality shone through in the end but it was a good game and Wednesday will definitely take some positives from it

we made them look very poor
