Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off 3pm. No live feeds as yet.
Welcome to matchday 15, and a second consecutive 3pm home kick off.
Team News
Leeds
Apparently no changes to the squad from Wednesday night's game.
**Edit. Firpo banned for 3 games by tv footage.
Queens Park Rangers
Influential Midfielder Chair has been added to their ever growing injury list
QPR are in terrible form, winless in 10 games and their manager is sounding as despondent as Rooney did before last week's visit to Elland Road. We should be making a few tweaks but history tells us it will be the same starting XI.
Can't have a more perfect game to follow the underwhelming midweek performance. If we don't win this we should give up.
Going for a 2.0 win and a calmer matchday thread.

Great performance.
Bogle brilliant today, Aaronson and Gnonto caused loads of problems.
Piroe’s finishing so good, I just feel you have to start him. He’ll get 20 this season if he plays every game.
All I heard on way home on BBC Leeds was negative callers about style of play, not being clinical enough. Too many fans not happy with a comfortable win at home against a team that couldn’t even get a shot off
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think Gnonto looks really down at the moment, been a long time since he's had the kind of game we all know he's capable of, where, in my opinion, he's caused the opposition lots of problems. By his standards, he seems to be playing well within himself. Needs a couple of goals to kick start his season because to me it looks to be drifting.

Just missing the goals is Gnonto. Opposition can’t live with him. He has had a few decent chances last few games to get a good shot off and hasn’t

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is the bar, it's so much higher for him than everyone else. If you look at his body language and his facial expression he doesn't seem to be meeting the standards he sets himself, you may not see it in the ground but he doesn't look happy. He can do so much better and he knows it. He's got high standards. Too many times he's running into traffic, missing the opportunity to shoot, playing the wrong pass, running the ball out of play and it irritates him.
It will come but at the moment he's not playing to his best.

Another dominant performance that should have been a better score line with no big chances conceded again.
Top by the end of the month and there for the rest of the season.

Sunderland's next three matches Millwall (A), West Brom (H), Sheff Utd (A).
Sheff Utd next four matches Sheff Wed (H), Coventry (A), Oxford Utd (H), Sunderland (A).
Our next three fixtures Swansea (A), Luton (H), Blackburn (A).
Being top doesn't look a pipe dream to me.

You’re right there, Dennis.
We’ve had a tough start fixture wise. 15 games in and 7 against teams in top 10. Sheff Utd by comparison have played 4 of those teams, Sunderland have played 5 of them.
As long as we’re in the mix for top 2 around Christmas, it’s fine. No point paying too much attention to league table till everyone has played everyone

Morning all🌞.
So, my thoughts on yesterday (was on a beano so I’ve only just watched the highlights):
[1] Absolutely delighted with the 3 points and clean sheet. We needed that after Wednesday.
[2] Talking of which, delighted that we’re 2nd going into the international break and hope that we’re still there after today’s steel-city derby. C’mon Wednesday!
[3] Good to see Aaronson having a real go and unlucky with the shot against the bar. Piroe’s goal great for his confidence. He does what he’s good at - gets us the 2nd goal (albeit with nearly the last action of the game). Shame that MJ drew another blank. Maybe he tired out the QPR defence ready for Piroe, I don’t know, but I hope he gets his next goal soon.
All in all, a great win. Onwards and upwards👍.

Great 3 points and that's about it.
Terrible boring game with little to cheer about.

Wasn’t too bad at the game but I see where you are coming from.
The thing is that the result is far more important than the way we play. We could push it and take more chances but that can be risky.
The holy grail is promotion.
The money is promotion.
The best players play in the PL.
Not saying I agree with playing safe because I quite like the Championship. However the club needs PL football.
