Match Day Leeds v Burton Albion

[Magic]

Well that's been a long two weeks...

Expect we'll be unchanged from our excellent display at Forest despite the arrivals, unless O'Kane is injured.

Wiedwald

Ayling Jansson Cooper Anita

Phillips O'Kane

Alioski Saiz Hernandez

Roofe

Only other option would be to play Lasogga and drop Roofe back to LW but above is expected.

Subs: Lonergan, Shaughnessy, Borthwick-Jackson, Vieira, Dallas, Lasogga, Grot

 

[KevinMcallister]

Being leeds this will be our first defeat

On paper we should win easily

 

[YorkshireRed]

Can't wait for Burton to take 150 fans to Elland Road before we get 7,500 Burton fans screaming ''we support our local team''.

On to the game. Leeds have looked very good this season and they are building a good team, Burton need a few points on the board.

Leeds 3-0 Burton.

Saiz, Grot and Lasogga have improved your frontline no end, with the bang average Wood in the PL. I like Borthwick-Jackson, but he's been on the bench last couple of games, no?

 

[SF_]

Wish we had a bang-average, 27 goal striker.

yeah unfortunately Vurnon Anita has been solid at LB, CBJ has played 2 games so far, with more to come

 

[Magic]

Full back is our strongest position probably.

Grot's literally made one sub appearance.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Grot's literally made one sub appearance.

some people do watch European football JJH

 

[YorkshireRed]

Grot's literally made one sub appearance.

Did he not look good? Not only that, they've improved in terms of depth...

Leeds 3-0 Burton.

I'll bite.

To be fair the 7,500 in the away end will actually be from Burton. That's twice our regular home support, BTW. We took about the same to Wembley for the play off final and got slated for how small our following was. £37 a ticket at Leeds doesn't help either. OT is the same price as non STHs and £28 for STHs. Guess which game people will choose.

I'll let you in on a secret. It's not the first time a smaller club will have had WAY bigger away numbers for a big cup game. I couldn't give two fucks myself. Their contribution to the 45% of the gate receipts is appreciated.

For the record...Leeds 2 Burton 0 today. Same as last year. We'll put up a fair bit of resistance until Leeds unlock us. Seems to be a bit of optimism and momentum building at ER. Quite fancy them to finally go up this year.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Did he not look good? Not only that, they've improved in terms of depth...

he looked very strong, he shoulder charged a Forest player who was of medium size and he nearly took off out of the ground

 

[Bartonyellow]

3-1 defeat for us sadly. Leeds look strong.
I thought about going - and then decided that 37 quid is a piss take,so I will be with the other 7,499 at old Trafford for a tenner less.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Lasogga on his debut scores

1-0

 

[KevinMcallister]

2-0 Phillips with his 4th of the season

 

[KevinMcallister]

3-0 Hernandez penalty

 

[KevinMcallister]

4-0 !!!! my god what a team we've assembled this season

Roofe with the goal, if not for Bywater and the woodwork this would be 6-0

 

[KevinMcallister]

5-0 Lasogga with his 2nd

Burton have caught us on a bad day, I like Burton too

 

[Magic]

Yup, we're good alright.

 

[KevinMcallister]

well what can you say? you could say that Burton aren't that good? but that's unfair, same happened to Forest we just didn't score more than 2

you could say we are just superb in defence? 5 clean sheets in a row and only 2 shots off target allowed today?

or you could say we have a superb attack and superb movement? I haven't seen this football from Leeds since the PL days

they might be nobodies that we signed, they'll soon be somebodies, we've assembled a real squad here

 

[Magic]

Well we don't concede and we attack at will. It's exciting times for sure. Just got to ride the momentum and see where it takes us...we're looking very fucking strong though - but this is the Championship and the start of the season so let's hold some excitement in for now.

Kev has got his wanking material ready for the next fortnight.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Nigel Clough "Leeds are the best team we've faced in the 2 seasons in the Championship, Fulham only being close last season"

wow what a gracious man in defeat he is, unlike a certain namesake

We've already had Hull and Brentford's managers say we are the best in the league they have played

This season only though

If our momentum continues, could be both of us setting our stalls out early in the top two but really wary of getting carried away!
