Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off 8pm. Live on Sky Sports & Talksport
Team News
Leeds
The smallest squad in the League but everyone is fit and available. Appears Mr Farke is planning to make more changes than normal so expect a few of Saturdays subs to start tonight including Darlow in Goal.
Middlesbrough
Will probably make 18 changes as seems the norm for cup games in the modern day.
Someone called Luke Ayling is in line to play against us and for some reason will get a rousing reception from the home support.
We've actually a decent record in the 1st round of this cup over the last few seasons which is so unlike Leeds.
Boro won their 1st game on Saturday and will be in confident mood
We need a win. Going for a boring dull 3.2 win with Piroe on the scoresheet.
Over to the best supporters on 606 with your score predictions and line ups
Can we go Live once again please Admin
Leeds United 0 Middlesbrough 3

Hopefully that was Bamford's last kick of a ball in a Leeds shirt

The collapse at the end of last season has carried over into this. DF seems lost for any ideas how to arrest the slide. We saw quite a few gutless displays like tonight towards the end of last season.

Complete and utter dross
Rodon and Wober were dreadful and Firpo even worse.
Most totally anonymous and Bamford is about as aggressive as a geriatric lettuce.
Aaronson still poor.
Anyway cheers Earl et al.

Proof, if it were still needed, that pre-season form means nothing once the real action starts.

What a frustrating watch. Anyone who thinks we will go up as Champions is deluded. I’ve lost all belief in Farke. This football is the same as the last 10 games - no urgency, no desire, no busting a gut to win a game. For once Lowfields may have a point - keep playing like this and we will be at the bottom of the table.

Fitting that Bamford had the last touch of the game.
And did that.
However, that was a truly woeful effort all round.

Sell Sinisterra, Cree and Archie, kick out Coops and get Aaronson and Cairns in. Feckking hell what the bejaysus did anyone expect?
