Bristol C vs Leeds Utd

[JJH]

Extra day to recover and prepare for this one, massive game between two sides who have started fairly well but Leeds seem to have gone off the boil after being the early pace setters. Four losses in the last five and three defeats in the last three on the road is it?

Anyway, big gate in for this one. Leeds have sold out this year and we've sold over 18,500 in the home ends already, should comfortably exceed 24,000 so will be a cracking atmosphere.

Just an observation but Leeds seem to have struggled against teams that play 4-4-2 this season. Wednesday, Reading and Millwall all played 4-4-2 against them and beat them, Cardiff may have, didn't see the game but pretty sure they usually play Zohore on his own up top.

Got quite a good feeling about this game but I just have a feeling this match is going to be fiery and it'll be affected by a red card or something. We'll see.

Bristol City 1-1 Leeds (Reid 12, Lasogga 78)

Not confident with this game at the mo, I think Korey will be a big loss.

1-2

3-0 or 3-1 City and lots of pressure on Christiansen.

He has to change something - we've been battered on the road three games running.

Fuck me drunk he was the best manager in the league a month ago.

Yep so many are truly embarrassing

Lonergan is in, he'll bring Vieira and Dallas in for this one and you'll be better for it. Not a chance you lose this.

 

[blademan89]

Both sets of fans seem confident here , for fucks sake sort yourselves out. Top 6 teams and all predicting own team to lose

To be fair, his stats backed that up. Not conceding in how ever many games, top of the league, massive goal difference - his opening 6 weeks showed what the team and manager were capable of. We've gone off the boil in the last 3/4 games and TC now needs to adapt and come up with a plan B. We struggle against teams that press us high. If Bristol sit back, we'll beat them. If they come at us and put us under pressure, we'll lost comfortably.

Sounds as though you're the opposite of us then, we struggle against the teams that sit back against us.

Looking at Leeds' losing run I automatically thought Lonergan was already in.

I actually predicted a draw, hardly negative just realistic.

Shouldn't have sold Rob Green.

Made some good saves on Saturday, one of which was a certain goal. Never thought he was atrocious at Leeds as some other club's fans have reported. Still think Weidwald will be TC's first choice in the long run, but he saved him from being thrown to the lions on Saturday by dropping him.

Lonergan's shirt to lose now. Not the long term solution but has to stay in for the time being.

I hope we surprise me this weekend and you're right that Vieira and Dallas may well come in but make no mistake, we've gone to jelly in recent weeks. No great disaster but we must bounce back soon.

Really lacking that much in confidence? I think it's got 1-1 written all over it personally. Leeds are too strong to lose a fourth consecutive game and we seem to be draw specialists this season.

The crowd will be huge but I really hope they don't announce over the tannoy how it's the biggest crowd in so many years. Just makes us seem tin pot. 加油 City.

Then even more tinpot. "This is our biggest gate in 5 months. Give yourselves a round of applause and do remember to get a half-n-half scarf to show you were here for our 117th biggest gate of all time."

Lonergan gets a game for Leeds? By choice?

Started last week ahead of Wiedwald as he's an absolute bomb scare.

 

[markwwfc1992]

We were close to signing Wiedwald in the summer before he chose Leeds. Looks like we dodged a bullet if the 3rd choice keeper we released is picked over him.

Yeh, doesn't look like it now, unless we shift 2.5k Lansdown upper tickets by tomorrow. Not likely at 40 squid a pop.

Leeds United 3-0 Bristol City
Ayling with all three

We will be going for the win, as every game this season.

Like all of our games, first goal probably decides it.

Dallas back in NI following a bereavement. Think he'd have started today so a shame. Need some support on the left as we've looked shaky there the last few weeks. Fuck knows who offers that, mind.

Serious score prediction: City 3-2 Leeds

 

[Magic]

Some good, some curious decisions.

Three CMs a good move, dropping Jansson I'm less sure (even if he hasn't been himself)

Odd team he’s picked today. A bug going round the squad?
