[Jimmy Fleck]

Leeds will fancy it, I’ll take a draw

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

We need the energy brought against Middlesbrough and to ensure we play to the whistle on this one.

Plan B is cheat, a nudge nudge, wink wink, elbow elbow, say no more squire handshake between Wilder/Farke that ends in a 0-0 draw.

Plan C is Leeds falling apart again.

 

[ml1997]

I think we’re going to have to focus on trying to get hold of the ball to stop their attack at source, as man for man their frontline is better than our defence. With the ball we’ll need energy and impetus like against Boro, but we need to be wary of counter attacks. I’d go with …

Cooper
Gilchrist Holding Anel Burrows
Souza
Davies Peck
JRS Campbell O’Hare

McCallum, Hamer, Brooks, BBD and Moore/ Cannon to come on.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

They are favorites to win. We have nothing to fear from them and a Middlesboro-esque performance is the least we should hope for. Up and at em from the first second til the game is won. The lads will be up for it, the fans will be up for it, 2-0 Blades....UTB

Nowt like putting our best player on the bench for this one.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Key for me is having calmness deep in our own half. They rely on high intensity pressing in numbers, work around that and we can spring attacks and catch them out. Panic and we'll be in all sorts of trouble.

Well Robinson can't play then

 

[SUFC Guy]

Hamer has to play if we are to get anything out of this. Think it will be a draw which is a disaster for both teams.

A disaster for both teams? Jesus

How can still be being at least 3 points ahead of Burnley and not losing ever be a disaster.

 

[ancientblade]

Leeds will fancy it, I’ll take a draw

i dont think they will especially when they analize our game with boro im really confident of a win for us monday night

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Blades 2-1 Leeds

Choudhury Man of the Match.

 

[1066blade]

When was the last time we won a "big" match?

 

[North Riding Blade]

Why. Result wont define either teams season.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Hope cannon is back for this one so he can stretch play or whatever it is wilder says he does when he looks like he's not doing anything

 

[SUFC Guy]

Why. Result wont define either teams season.

Sorry, I meant to say a draw wouldn't be the worst result

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Win lose or draw the result is not season defining,Wilder said this in his interview,so i'm not getting too hung up on the outcome,its a six pointer or we are doomed if we lose... we are'nt promoted if we win.

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Listen Leeds United are a very powerful football club with some very powerful football players and we can only be grateful to share a football pitch with them. They're just great and I can't stress enough how much I admire them in every way. They're the best team in the league and it's not even close. They're certainly better than us and I've told the lads that. If we can nip away at their heels a bit and limit them to 2-0 again I'll be buzzing

It’s funny how you are mocking what you think the club’s attitude towards the game will be when a fair few of our fans are saying the same thing. I seen it classed as a free hit and that we are playing for second place even though on the pitch they have got no more points than us…

 

[Bell4]

Play him in Cannons position.

He’d confuse the hell out of the Leeds defence and at least we’d notice he was on the pitch

i think youve hit the nail on the head there despite us being the home team it is a free hit just go for it if we go at them from the off like we did against boro leeds will be rattled and no doubt about it their defence and keeper are their weakest links i fancy us strongly for this one

 

[originaltrueblade]

Let him sort out Boglle before subbing him

 

[Varkanoid]

Leeds are poor at corners so put pressure on Meslier, and pressure the keeper when they try to play out from the back. He is due another howler not had one for a while.

 

[bartman]

You'd had better pray that the rumours of Hamer being out for a few weeks aren't true ,then

if true, I would have thought BBD or Brewster would play instead (unless he plays Peck there in order to play HC and VS in front of the back 4

If that's true then we won't win on Monday

(Edited lol)

Exactly. Every corner hit straight on top of him with pressure, and JLT throwing everything at him may pay off.

 

[bartman]

If that's true then we won't win tomorrow

Good job we are playing on Monday,then . We might have a chance ;-)

 

[Frank the tank]

If that's true then we won't win tomorrow

No but then again we aren't playing till Monday
