Millwall match tomorrow is a massive match. I think if we win will keep the momentum going. And increase confidence too. We should start with same team as last two games if all fit. If we win I think good chance of play offs (6th place) won't get any higher. Lose and we can forget it. Its amazing that we are still in with half a chance given our form. Just imagine where we would be with even some half decent form. Or a good run.

Get in there. When we win tomorrow it is game on. Couple of tough games coming up, leicester, palace, but after that we have a good run in. More home than away games.

We can afford to drop a few points if we can get 10 wins so millwall is a must win game with us having a chance of dropping points against Leicester, palace and Watford . I believe we can do it but the next question would be what's our chances of promotion through playoffs. If we had brought in a creative midfielder and a fast tricky winger I would of said we would easy do it but now I don't fancy our chances as we don't have that player to set us apart from everyone else.

Just want to say what great support there was for the youth last night at Anfield. I was there with my scouse mate and our fans were in full voice with their witty songs and passion showing the scousers what the premiership is missing. I was sat in the kop and as I looked around I don't think they could quite believe how passionate we are as they couldn't stop staring and laughing. We were also all united in singing Justice for the 96 where everyone clapped and cheered as well as the shoes off if you hate Man United and Chelsea scum. Great night just a shame about the result, however a few players stood out and it was a chance to see how the young Dawson has come along and from what I saw he should be given a chance by Warnock before the end of the season.

Really buying into the idea of Richard Naylor being given a crack at it when Warnock leaves. or at least assisting the new man. he knows the youth talent, and we need more of them to be pushing for places.
02 Mar 2013 06:00:33
Assistant maybe but would leave him where he is. We have always had a decent youth team. We need experience to get out of this league and I would leave Warnock where he is until we find the best manager we can get.
No, sorry mate got to disagree, Keep with the youth long term to keep developing them and the next generation. Plus we need a manager that will get us to PL and keep us there.

here is a question for you who was the hardest player who has played for Leeds, when I say hard I mean gets stuck in for tackles runs his heart out.
Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles, Norman Hunter etc. David Batty, Vinnie Jones, Alan Smith, Andy Ritchie, Noel Blake
Batty or Jones I suppose. Maybe Sterland. Ian Snodin another tough geezer too. Good question, got me thinking back years!
Norman hunter hardest player for leeds united
Sterland and batty
Ian Baird, what he lacked in skill he made up in psssion and aggression
01 Mar 2013 15:45:33
Michael Brown
Forgot about Baird. WHAT a player he was. Tough as nails!

Ray hankin
David batty. hands down
Michal Brown, Baird, etc you must be havin a laugh! Think of real Leeds teams please. Billy, Gilesy, Norman, Jack, and any of our greatest team, would have chewed those guys up and spat them out! MOT forever
Brown is not a 'hard man' he's just an person that thinks kicking your opponent of the park is the whole aim of the game, even if you get yourself sent off and reduce the team to 10 men.
And I rate Vinnie as a good solid player, it may surprise you to know how many times he got himself sent off whilst playing for Leeds.
Or rather, how many times he DIDN'T!
I was always a fan of Baird, Batty and Vinnie but the forerunner for all of these was Johnny Giles a superb playmaker and as skilful as anybody in his day but oh my god what a dirty little b&*^%$£D
Big Jack, Norman, Billy, Giles, Mick Jones, Jordan, take your pick. Modern times Baird, Batty, Jones Sterland and Kamara could handle himself. Michael Brown not in the same league as the boys listed above.
Grew up in a Dublin Leeds family in the '60s. That was a strong team but the toughest player to play for Leeds was wee Bobby Collins!
Batty could have lived in that team
Effort passion and heart smith's got to be in with a shout, I am gutted for him and greatest fans ever he ended up on the wrong side of the Pennines.
That said Batts was one of my hero's so I think he gets my vote.
excellent question, site became interesting again!

As I posted yesterday about neil warnock turning down his icing on the cake loan signing. If he hadent been so adament about playing his old mate brown and austin where could we be and not forgetting signing tonge on a 2 & half year contract only to be put on the bench. My point is we had a quicker more mobile midfield but they were all on the bench watching brown on his bloody zimmer frame, oh I forgot that he has had two good cup performances so neil would persist in playing him! The fact is that barring a winger this team is ok, but my other point is that the other week warnock says we will have to go for it now! The bloody season started in august you buffoon.
01 Mar 2013 15:57:21
every team needs a Brown. someone to come on and get stuck in and make sure the other team can't get going properly especially when playing a good passing team. the only problem is brown should only of been a sub all season but the squad was never quite finished so brown as played a lot more. he has been very good at what he does and should be supported rather than moaned about. he will be very important in the playoffs if we get there
I can't believe he says we don't need anybody in. what's changed? Oh yes we beat a team going backwards and drew with a team missing 7 first teamers.
We aren't world beaters warnock now we have 4 points from 6. also boro won 1 out of ten games, losing 6. Who did they beat? Now we need quality still. what makes you think otherwise. what's he on. shrew Leeds
Thank you Mr Warnock for your insight!
"every team needs a Brown"
yeah like they need a hole in the head.
. what we need is players who can score goals or at least pass balls rather than players trying to cripple the opposition!
Every team needs a Batty not a past it Michael Brown.

Apparently Millwall are bringing a staggering 93 fans tomorrow, what a pathetic football club that is!
Leeds took more last night to Anfield for a Youth game.
Greatest football club with the greatest fans in the world!
I am Leeds I am proud!
If that's true then we'll hammer them! Nothing worse than playing a game with no support from the fans. Come on you whites!
Leeds Demon
93 Millwall fans isn't a lot but what a farce it is the way they av to actually get their hands on tickets for the game. both clubs tried sorting it out but police threw the rattle out hence the 93.

Who would you all say was the best signing we made in last 3 years and the best?
Worst for me would be paynter just because he was given chances and never ammassed to anything.
Best would be gradel quick pacey and tricky played amazing despite his temper.
MOT
Gradel. Clayton
Clayton wasnt that good Ausman, vanished in games when workload got too much for him, sames happening at Hudds
01 Mar 2013 21:04:10
Diouf. Oozes class
Gradel.
Best - McCormack, diouf
Worst - forsell, rachubka, bessone, paynter

What do you expect gfh have no money. They need to show they are not losing money to get investment. PAPA smurf will be getting a wage. Will be glad when there gone. {Ed013's Note - What was this in reply to?}

My prediction Leeds 5 - 0 millwall. Morison hat-trick
2-0 Leeds. Morison and Diouf (!)
Varney both goals in a 2-0 win! MOT
LUFC to win by one goal; 1- 0, 2 - 1, 3 - 2 etc
Your aving a giraffe fella, yes, I agree this team is capable of that result, but I've probably got a better chance of winnning Eurolotto, but heres hoping. MOT
We will draw or lose. I saw them play Boro last week and they out played them from start to finish. That Henry is a class player.
2-1 Leeds, Morrison 1st goal (40/1 bill hills)

A very good liverpool side last night- I agree. But the Leeds youngsters were very impressive and did not deserve to lose. MOT
