Perfect time to play them, we are full of confidence and they have fallen away somewhat with them struggling to score. In Slaven I most certainly trust.

I certainly cannot see us capitulating there like we did under Moore last season.

Pity this game couldn't have been more realistically priced, especially as it's on the box.

Another away day missed out on.

Bugger, oh well.

I fear Bamford may play a pivotal role; having missed out on a blatant red-card at Charlton. Need a lot of concentration in defence but definitely think our wide play-makers can get at them and cause them trouble.

No manager will by now not be in any doubt that our strength is in the midfield attacking and will try to negate that by pressing high up the pitch, I'm expecting a tactical high energy game which we will win late on as they tire.

I know this may appear to lack ambition, but Iâ€™d be really happy if we are still unbeaten by this time next week, two draws minimum!

Iâ€™m torn on this Leeds will try and dominate possession if this is the case Iâ€™d be tempted to start Harper over Perreira to give us more legs in midfield but you do loose Pereiraâ€™s ability on the ball and you want players who are comfortable whilst under pressure as they will press us high, Iâ€™d also be tempted to play Edwards over Phillips for his pace Iâ€™m not convinced Matty can play 3 games in a week either.

Just read an article that Leeds are very suspect from corners & set pieces so hopefully Semi & Bartley can cause them issues, would take a point now but also feel we could make a statement feel we are a better team this season than the one that rocked up there last season.

Saw that on the highlights, absolute blatant red card. First thing I thought was he would have been suspended for our game. Even the commentator on the highlights couldnâ€™t believe he got a yellow instead of a red

Look at betting for league. Leeds miles clear. Tells you what people think of them.

Iâ€™d take a point now, a defeat I would be disappointed and a win , well Iâ€™d certainly start to really believe. We would have been to Fulham, forest and Leeds and been unbeaten.

They have pablo out, their best player. Though they will still dominate the ball i expect us to have times of good possession too, need to take our chances and hopefully this is Austinâ€™s time

My daughter is a Leeds season ticket holder and she says they have dominated every team she has seen them play against this season without putting them away she thinks a team is due a hiding I just hope it's not us on Tuesday night.

we had a hiding from them last season at their place, not this time we have the better players. 2-2

gazberg · « **Reply #36 on:** October 01, 2019, 08:20:06 AM »

I think we have a better balanced team and we have a better manager in charge.

Too hard to call, I'd be happy with a point away.

AlbionFan · « **Reply #37 on:** October 01, 2019, 08:51:27 AM »

I am nervous about this game, we will be subjected to a pressing game that undid us last season and we can expect no less tonight.

Iâ€™d be really happy with a point

Hull Baggie · « **Reply #38 on:** October 01, 2019, 09:42:04 AM »

I'll be happy if we don't concede in the first 15 seconds!

I'm expecting a really tough game and I can see our undefeated run coming to an end, but having said that Leeds have looked a bit ropey in recent weeks and will come at us looking to put the weekend's defeat behind them which could leave space for our pacey players to exploit.

Agreed, after last season's debacle there.

First 15 minutes will be crucial, they will come out all guns blazing looking to put it right after their dodgy run of form. If we can see that off and start to grow into the game, they will start to get very nervy.

I think we'll play them high up the pitch and attack them they're not so hot being put under pressure especially at home.
Their crowd will expect them to attack so well go on the front foot that's where our strengths are.
0-2

Yes, let's not let them have a free shot after, what was it, 18 seconds??

Would definitely take a draw right now

BoingFlyer · « **Reply #42 on:** October 01, 2019, 12:25:57 PM »

Leeds fans are worried about tonight, they have been dominating possession but have no fire power up front. Any news on Hegazi - will he make the bench?

Fritzl Palace · « **Reply #43 on:** October 01, 2019, 12:28:34 PM »

Hearing reports of the fire alarm going off in our hotel in the early hours.

johnny Cash · « **Reply #44 on:** October 01, 2019, 12:49:39 PM »

From what I've read, Kalvin Philips seems to drive them and if you can manage him, you've won half the battle.

Livermore needs to use his experience tonight and take him out of the game by hassling and hurrying him at every opportunity.
