Expecting a high tempo start, but Leicester to take control and their quality to show.
0-3.
Worth a bet today with our odds. Anyone put one on?
Going to really tough, they have some quality players on form, big performance needed and a loss could result in brains days being numbered.
You've actually put real money on us to win?
Was that an accident?
Leeds is always a tough place with a hostile atmosphere and the Leeds fans will be up for upsetting us.
That said I think the players have realised they're the best team in the league (in my opinion and I believe the players opinions) and I don't expect us to become complacent now. I see us closing this season out this season like we did in League 1 so I don't think we'll lose but I can see a 2-2 draw.
This game could be what decides if I'll do what I've been promising myself all season.
I've found that I can make it to the Huddersfield game in 2 weeks. If there's at least some kind of effort today, I'll try and sort myself out with a ticket.
If we see the same dross that we saw against Wednesday then I'm sure I could find something better to do than watch Leeds not play football on an incredibly rare weekend off for me.
We've got a lineup.
Kenny
Byram, Pearce, Lees, Warnock
Kebe, Brown, Austin, Stewart
McCormack(c), Varney
Not so sure about Brown starting, but I suppose pace down the wings gives us the option of going heavy in the middle.
Kenny, Byram, Pearce, Lees, Warnock, Kebe, Brown, Austin, Stewart, McCormack, Varney.
Brown booked in first half 100% nailed on
Lees and Brown? No. I'd prefer Green (if fit or Tonge if not ) and Pelts.
At least we going 442 from the start
In fact Murphy for Brown would be better. Green not on bench.
Thought you would have gone 4-5-1 too pack the midfield and stop us playing!
I think that's what we're trying by putting our heavy duty guys in the middle.
Thank God its 442.
Rudy seems to have a more attacking role if Brown is there to sit.
Good to see Byram and Warnock back.
Would rather see Pelts in the middle of defence than Lees.
That team shows we need to strengthen. Weaknesses with Lees, Brown and Varney.
Agree with Yorkie. Bench ain't great as usual, no game changers. Lees might be ok today as there's no big physical strikers to outmuscle him, not sure if Wards on the bench though
Sticking with the 2 new lads aye, ok.....hmmmmmm
must have been the agreement of signing them, then again no point of bringing in players unless they are better than what we already have
Worried about Byram. Not fully fit
Did someone mention pace down the wings?
Surprised no Hunt, is he injured?
Also spit on the bench, how can he be fit?
I assume every other cb is injured, as Lees is starting
I see a lack of creativity with these two CMs unless the new boys can provide it
Here we go fellas, biggest game of the season, for us, we must get a result today !
f me it kicks off in 10 mins it looks empty
cheap tickets? where is everyone?
