You only get out of game what you put in let's keep marching on together one game at a time hard game at Cardiff but we can do it the bub will sort it.

09 Mar 2020 08:42:56
Niel Harris is a man that riled me and makes me salty just by looking at him, he doesn’t even have to open his mouth to make my skin crawl.

09 Mar 2020 09:24:37
harris is useless manager but his teams are set up to give leeds a game every time. I am praying he comes unstuck.

09 Mar 2020 10:31:41
Cardiff have a player Tomlin who appears to turn into a world beater every time he plays against us, similar to Wallace at Wall!

Never forget Harris screaming to have the screens at the Den turned off when they had just scored from a blatant hand ball, Harris and Kinnear definitely cut from the same cloth.

09 Mar 2020 12:24:24
Spike his greggs sausage roll mr class that should do the trick.

09 Mar 2020 15:00:03
Tomlin is injured .

Evening all. I suspect that one or two of you on here might have noticed that I am not top flight pundit material. I do try, but at the end of the day, I mostly talk a load of tripe when assessing things, but I am pretty bloody certain that we've been playing Ayling and Bamfs in each other's positions all season.

09 Mar 2020 07:02:46
Seems that way of late doesn't it?

09 Mar 2020 09:25:19
have to give the others a chance, that's why we have also been playing Kiko in goal when clearly he thinks he is a number 8.

08 Mar 2020 16:10:46
Jay Roy Grot scored a worldy yesterday, showing pace, power and clinical finishing.
Am I the only one who hopes he comes back and proves his worth in the same way Klich has?

08 Mar 2020 16:16:49
If Jay Roy Grot has indeed pace, power and especially clinical finishing then be great to have him back Brighty.

08 Mar 2020 16:23:25
Not in the Premiership.

08 Mar 2020 18:32:34
He’s only 20 or 21 still

Need another look at him.

08 Mar 2020 19:01:00
Agree got potential hope he does a llitch.

08 Mar 2020 19:03:38
I hope all of our players turn into class acts.

08 Mar 2020 19:49:11
I’d take Cibicki back if he could do a job on his wages!
It’s funny but Bielsa had Klich out of the first team squad originally but due to a few injuries brought him in pre season. Strange how stuff can work out.

08 Mar 2020 22:47:48
I thought Klich was only outside the first team squad for first week or so of that pre-season with a few others like Ideguchi, but was brought in because he'd shown enough in training to merit a second look - on his own merits, not due to others being injured, albeit Bielsa then initially tried to turn him into a CB. However it was injury to Forshaw at the end of pre-season that saw Klich promoted to the first 11 - and there he has stayed ever since.

09 Mar 2020 08:27:54
You may be right there Clueless. I just remember Klich training with the fringe squad originally and then being brought in.

08 Mar 2020 13:31:28
Don't want to put a negative spin on this season but I feel it's now or never .
If we don't go up this season the team will be disbanded bielsa will go and we will be back to square one 😩.

08 Mar 2020 13:50:53
Well don’t then! I think we all know that would happen!

08 Mar 2020 16:19:11
Agree with you there Mighty. It HAS TO HAPPEN!

08 Mar 2020 18:42:00
Don't worry lads.
We ARE going up! 💙💛💙👍.

08 Mar 2020 19:04:54
Nobody knows what will happen next. This is pure speculation.

08 Mar 2020 12:42:08
Does anyone have any stats about how many times we have hit the woodwork this season? It seems to happen nearly every game. I think they should make the goals a few cm smaller at Thorpe arch.

08 Mar 2020 16:20:16
Posted last week the same thing. Up to 24 now, and the highest in this division!

08 Mar 2020 16:21:34
It is currently 23 or 24 times Leeds have struck the woodwork Alf

. a lot and the highest in the Championship!

Decent idea about making the training goals a few cm smaller at Thorp Arch.

08 Mar 2020 12:04:34
I recognise Cardiff and Fulham look particularly tough games, our most dangerous rival and any team put out by the odious Neil Harris.

But I really don’t see it different to ANY team we have left to play. I know my own nervousness and anxiety is based partly on last season and the length of time out of the top flight.

However, who honestly thought Wigan would beat us and WBA away? We have seen every single week that anybody can beat anybody in this league, anyone.

Rather than look directly at opposition I believe a more accurate indicator is our own form. When we lost at home to Snakes team and Wigan all of us knew the boys were not performing as they can.

But we are now, we are without a doubt the best performing team in the division and despite Fulham almost at make or break or Cardiff needing it for a playoff spot. Fulham are not at their optimum just now, Cardiff’s win yesterday was their first in five games.

So sitting firmly on top of my nervousness and anxiety at this level of performance we can win every game we have left. Momentum is huge and coupled with our full mojo back, it’s really about maintaining it, really changes very little who we play it’s what we do.

I firmly believe we WILL win our next two and remain unbeaten for our remaining fixtures.
My predictions are on form too just now.

#get promotion done.

08 Mar 2020 12:21:26
I agree. We are at our best and I don’t fear Fulham or Cardiff although both tough games.
We are finally converting more and scoring earlier. Once that started we were unbeatable.
If a team can hold out against us for an hour. They got a chance. If not. Bye bye.

08 Mar 2020 12:30:06
Class, I don’t see are last 9 games as easy as some believe, just take a look at the results of some yesterday, Stoke, Swansea still think we need to be at our best, bet you they will all be playing as if they were in a FA cup final.

08 Mar 2020 12:39:33
The reason I think they are tougher games is that they have more quality. We are doi g well currently against poorer opposition like we did before Christmas but when we met better teams we struggled. It's one thing to do it against the bottom half clubs but another against the likes of Fulham. We played poorly against Wigan and lost but Filham are capable of beating us even if we play well. I like your point but can't agree with it bud. Draw the next 2 and I will be happy. Win them and i firmly believe there will be no stopping us. Ftr I don't think Cardiff are as good but will be a nightmare at their place.

08 Mar 2020 12:47:44
Agree Harris knows how to set up steam to play us and Fulham are a good side but it is not about them it’s about us and touch wood we don’t look like same old leeds falling apart again

Still a tough league and anything can happen look at Wigan that deflate made me so angry but they did the same to Brom which makes its a lot easier to seillow.

08 Mar 2020 20:13:01
I agree Whiiteman my point is Luton will be just a tough a test as Cardiff or Fulham but playing as we are now we CAN win every single game, whether we maintain the form?

I believe we will, but your absolutely right Whitman our run is no easier than Fulham or WBA the only difference is our form is better than theirs.

08 Mar 2020 10:33:56
Who was it that said White couldn't head a ball? Nearly scored from the head 3 times yesterday and one led to the Bamford poach.

08 Mar 2020 11:33:38
The guy is a machine never has a bad game.

08 Mar 2020 11:34:40
Think It was yiu Alf.

08 Mar 2020 12:40:29
Did I really. Well I'm glad he seems to have learned.

08 Mar 2020 12:49:14
Think I Might of said it a few times over the season in my defence we don’t score from corners and concede from high balls. maybe white has his platform boots on yesterday. little or not he is a touch of class.

08 Mar 2020 08:52:35
Cautiously optimistic this morning. As others have said, it seems to be down to three for the top two spots, and Fulham still have to play all four rivals in the top five (with on fire Brentford next up at home and the other three being away from home) , having just struggled with the low hanging fruit of Brizzle and Preston.

08 Mar 2020 10:49:55
You can' t rule out Brentford just yet. they may be more of a danger than Fulham. Brentford have Fulham away and Baggies at home in next games .2 big games.

08 Mar 2020 12:04:15
Indeed - only said it SEEMS to be down to three. Not totally discounting the Bees, of course almost anything can happen with 27 points up for grabs. The next two sets of fixtures could be quite pivotal.

08 Mar 2020 12:44:14
All the way down to mid table anyone could go on a late surge. It's so, so close down there.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Top 10 Left-Backs

08 Mar 2020 08:17:57
Ed001 And where is the Cookstown Cafu pray tell? Call yourself a football man?! Dallasy could school Maldini in his prime. Stuarty 💙💛.

{Ed001's Note - he missed out because of playing in a lower league. Next season I am sure he will be right up there in the top 5000...}
