Must win 100%.

Rodrigo must start. Keep Robles in goal.
Hope Wober's near fully fit. Need him.
Saying that, I trust Allardyce to pick the best side.

Positive note, kick off being so early, a loss will
only ruin part of the weekend.

Probably too much to hope for all three points;could get a draw though:2-2

Cheers Shaun.

No matter how desperate it gets both you and Earl have done Highlands memory proud - really grateful. MOT

Curtains drawn shut or left open…… we’ll see.

Want the mother of all encores where those curtains are concerned A14.

I second that

Not sure High has any contacts up there but we look like we need any help we can get. Really feels like a must win. It is the coupon buster fixture, in regards to how often the favourite gets beat in the early fixture, here's hoping Skybet get off to a good start tomorrow 😅

Under Bielsa I always felt ‘we can do these’, it continued on into Jesse’s reign, and even partly into Gracia’s time…I’ve lost that feeling and perhaps that’s how the players feel, confidence is very fragile. What we need is a result out of the blue like Everton just got.

Evening all👍.

Well, enough has been said about where we are now … I’m hoping for a win. Any win. Any scorer (including an o.g. from the ‘toon).

Yeah completely agree with the last bit.

Have nothing much to base this on but have a feeling
We’ll win. The ER crowd plus Big Sam plus I think there’s enough character in the squad to lift their game.

God, I certainly hope so Batty👍

We absolutely have to get the first goal here
If we go behind it's over

Rodrigo simply has to start and at 9

2-1 - Rodrigo and Ayling

Cheers Shaun great job, was just about to start the thread earlier when I seen yours.

I Really feel we need to win this as a draw won't be enough.
Heart says 2.1 Leeds, head says don't be stupid, we're doomed.

Oh, and completely off-piste … I’m enjoying a superb (quality v price) Montepulciano 🍷 this evening … those of you that like full (ish) bodied inky-reds will love this👍 (takes the mind off our current plight😁).

Did something similiar this afternoon Light - Gastro Pub Fish and Chips washed down with Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. Anything to take my mind off 12.30pm tomorrow.

Training videos
No Forshaw
No Rutter
No cooper

Connor Ferguson training with first team. Says it all about Firpo!

Batts, I've had the same feeling we will win, at first I thought it was something I'd ate but then I knew it was a sign,
Ps Greenwoods in for Roca,

👍🥂

Don, Big Sam hinted at Greenwood for Roca.
Happy about that. Any hints over Bamford or Rod up front?

Only that change I was told but didn't go into detail about the rest but looks like that might be only one from last week, dampens my enthusiasm slightly but Paddy may surprise us,

I didn't realise Weston Mckennie has a Rory Delap type throw-in and so I am confident Big Sam will be utilising this to the max and if Greenwood is added to the midfield, I think in place of Harrison and Rodrigo starts then I reckon we'll get a draw, I'd love a win obviously but a point is the best I can see us getting with our defence and their attack.

If Big Sam trusts Bamford then bring Newcastle on.
Saying that, whoever he starts, there's good reason.

It’s that bad in midfield this season, that I’m actually fine with Greenwood being in there. At least he gives us set pieces, whereas really what is Roca adding right now?
