Leslie Charteris Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 If they play for the shirt like AP suggests on the OS and make us proud, then any result is bearable, but to come back undefeated would be Christmas come early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 Have Papa and Connolly started a match together yet? I think it is time to unleash that combo on Saturday. I think we will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 2 early goals, by Connoly and Lambert, then Leeds will pull one back just before half time. Lallana to get a 3rd against the run of play on the 85th minute. could you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 The weather is not looking good... here in darlington it has snowed and settled this evening with worse forecast for tonight and even worse forecast for Saturday. I think Leeds have undersoil heating, so I guess the game should go ahead won't it? Also, I'd advise care driving up here if you're driving to the match.

SNSUN Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 I don't care if we lose this as long as we play well enough. A draw would be a good result, and I'd take that - a win would be absolutely fantastic. Leeds haven't lost at home this season, and we're looking to continue our best away form in the post war period. If you're going to put a bet on - have a fullter on there being 4+ goals in this game! I wouldn't be getting ****y about the JPT, the MK Dons will wasnt it as much as we do. This match I'm going to stick my head out and go for a 3-3. (With us coming from behind for a change...)

LGTL Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 We are all worried about the name, rather than the actual team. They may be top, but I don't think they are that good. We are argubly the best team in the division on our day, so it should be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchris Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 I think the late drama on Tuesday night has made everyone forget that for large parts of the game we didn't actually play very well. We will need to improve massively for the Leeds game but having said that I do believe that we will do just that and also that Leeds are showing signs of cracking. A good 2-2 would be alright by me but I wouldn't be surprised if we sneaked it. We have to adopt a slightly different set up and put Thomas in at right back or Leeds will exploit this well known weekness.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubsaint Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 Stop building Leeds up please as they are playing **** at the moment, we should expect to win this quite easily as Leeds should be worried about us, not us over them. 3-0 saints. We have to now believe that at last we have a side that is capable of getting a result here, this is our first real test in a few games, lets show this league what we are capable of, with a win, and scare the rest of the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a very tough game and I don't think anyone should get their hopes up too much. Nevertheless, I can't wait to get on the train Saturday morning!

brightspark Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 Looking forward to this one greatly. Our recent run of results has allows us to go into this game feeling a little bit more relaxed and allows us to be assured of not falling back into the mental despair of the bottom 4. I like to set targets over a period of games. I asked for 10/12 between Hartlepool and Tranmere and we did great - full 12. For Leeds (a), Exeter (h), Colchester (a) - we need to be picking up at least 5 points, by either L-W-W, W-W-L or D-W-D... COYR!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom28 Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 I would go with... Bart James Perry Jaidi Harding Antonio Hammond Schneiderlin Lallana Connolly Lambert I was tempted to say Trots instead of Perry to add pace to combat Beckford, and to try and accommodate Wotton for a bit of steel, and also Waigo because I think he is deserving of a run in the side, but consistency is usually best and I think we should impose ourselves on Leeds rather than allow Leeds' threats make us change the way we play.

I'm pretty worried about James at RB for this one, as they do a lot of their attacking down their left flank, through Snodgrass. I would be tempted to play Thomas there if I was AP, as at least he is strong, so could potentially keep him quiet. All I can see James doing is getting caught out and giving away freekicks and penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 Expect a really defensive formation, with perhaps Thomas at RB and James and Wotton added into midfield,don't think Morgan will be fit. A very defensive 4-5-1 perhaps with James,Wotton,Hammond,Lallana and Connolly in midfield and Lambert all alone at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
