Their fans don't seem greatly confident.
Their press assume we will defend deep and try to score on the break.

Attack early then and go for the goal that will have their fans on their backs.

Damn right, play like the undefeated league leaders, with confidence and belief.

We need points today if we want to stay on top 5!! Others like Reading, Middlesbrough and Burnley have home game today.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Any news regarding whether we will win today?

 

[Colossal Squid]

We are going to lose eventually, however it would be great if it wasn't against Leeds.

Will be happy with a draw although I definitely think we've got enough to come away as victors if we're on our game

Need to start like we did here last season, which was our best first half away performance. We still only scored one goal in the first half when we were all over them. Stars that night were Holland and Kemy !!

Isn't Murphy suspended?

Suspended, unfortunately

Oh Yes, he still hasn't served it.

March for Murphy.
Calderon on bench.

But if neither team score I confidently predict a 0-0

Ever thought of taking up fortune telling? Good money to be made there, I'm told............

I don't think we will have to defend deep with the team Leeds have put out. Not got the pace in their starting XI. We might end up like that in the second half. I thought Leeds were quite a good footballing side at the Amex last season.

It's less whether they force us to play deep and more whether we elect to do so, something we have tended to be too keen to do when we have scored first and it has cost us points

Albion starting XI and squad exactly as expected.

I fancy we'll nick this today.

Agree. Leeds attack omits their pacier players so we do not need to play deep. I prefer possession football to playing deep after taking the lead (if we can keep the ball).

Best laid plans could go awry with this one.
