Some Forest player has said that beating Leeds would be a big statement of intent. Another lit who see us as their FA Cup Final then.

Yep, and Karanka the w-w-w-wotsit says he's confident of getting a result, which is one of them things I never did get, win lose or draw it's a "result" innit.

Forest games are usually tough games for us although our recent record against them is quite good. They are playing well at the moment and Grabban is scoring for fun just lately, they will be backed by more than the usual amount of away fans. Our defence needs to be on their game today, glad Pontus is available again. Really can't call this one, hoping for another win but can easily see us locked into a Brentford type battle.

i got enguaged to my wife after losing a bet about us beating forest when we did them 4-1 a good few years back, they were in form and we were away I said if we will i ll marry you, the following year they did us 7-1 if only i would of waited.

watching the game today with the daughter of ex forest chairman nigel doughty. i have been giving her stick all week so we better win or i will have everyone on my back today as they are all supporting forest.

Oh no, we’re in for another, all the forest fans think Alioski is the best footballer they’ve seen since Trevor Francis and KP should be playing in the northern premier league post!

Once in a while Berms, try watching a game with some Leeds fans, might bring out more of of your Leeds supporting and encouraging side!

Have fun!

Ha ha Bermo you sound outnumbered mate you need me there to even things up a little 3-2 to the migjty whites with a stoppage time winner from pontus and scenes of carnage at ER and the greater game rehersal studios 🤣😎 MOT brothers.

Today will tell us a lot about ourselves. A win for me will say our patchy form is behind us. A potentially tough one to call though. Come on you Whites!

It seems as if Bielsa is thinking of playing Alioski in his more normal (for Leeds) forward. If that is to use Pearce then that is just a judgement call. If its to accommodate Dallas that illustrates a serious blind spot bordering on stupidity. Of the players available Alioski is the far better wing/ full back. If he plays there against Forest and gets roasted by a decent winger it means another players has avoided a similar but more destructive evening at Elland Road ie if doesn't hack it the alternatives won't either - only worse. Team: BPF, Ayling, jassson, Cooper, Alioski
Phillips, Klich, Forshaw,
Hernandez, Roofe, Clarke or Dallas (I prefer Clarke for 60 minutes or so then Dallas rather than Harrison) . I would go for those players irrespective of what system he wants to play. Interesting to see what he actually does.

I think he’ll go, BPF,

Ayling, cooper, Phillips, Pontus, Pearce

Alioski, Klich, Saiz, Hernandez

Roofe

Bench: Blackman Shackleton Forshaw Baker Clarke Roberts Harrison.

I think young Spanish has got it right.

I think Spanish has got it right, and I personally think it's bang on. Thought Pearce did well and the back line looked more like early season, and KP looked comfortable in his role too.

I’m always amazed when some question a manager of bielsa experience and stature. Like they know better. Always amazes me.

26 Oct 2018 20:44:27
Not sure who you mean Corky! I’m just naming who I think he’ll pick!

27 Oct 2018 04:10:38
Fight fight.

Marcelo said to be interested in I Bai called Gomez from athletico Bilbao.
⚽️⚽️👍😂.

Played under him before apparently and they both know each other well.

26 Oct 2018 15:48:16
He is a winger isn’t he?
I know delivery is important but we have about 6-8 capable at diff levels of playing on the wing.
I’m looking for a cb and striker. Stuff the wing.
