Badger Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Just now, wild-saint said: yes but not a key as Downes without an adequate replacement. the stats od games with / without Downes tends to confirm that as well. I don’t know enough about the Leeds squad tbh, but it’s possibly a bit blinkered to assume they didn’t have matches where they weren’t hampered by absence of key players. I read in one of their forums that they felt it went a bit flat with four players after Wales failed to qualify for the Euros (apparently they had four players involved). Not something that troubled us ( I don’t recall it anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katalinic Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) 20 hours ago, Dusic said: If Adams is out and Stewart (as expected) not fit enough to start then IMO its a no brainer to go back to the 4-3-3 that beat WBA twice and start Fraser and Brooks either side of Arma, with Edozie, Kamaldeen, Stewart (and maybe Che) as sub options. Stewart apparently injured in training, Adams 50/50. Hope it's a bluff tactic. Edited May 17 by Katalinic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint NL Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Norwich sack Wagner after the heavy loss last night. Might we be waking up tomorrow to news that Russ has got the chop? Or maybe we're on our way to Wembley. Fine margins and all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 4 hours ago, Saint NL said: Mara, Manning and Stephens. Nearly a third of our team are escape goats 😱 and the bastard things eat absolutely everything and anything when they do. Now is not the time to start worrying about our perceived `worst' players, all that matters is individually and collectively we are right on it from minute 1, we take charge of the game and we show the quality, when needed, to create one of two gilt edge chances that we take. We are going to win the play-offs. Cannot wait for tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Mulgrew Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 6 hours ago, egg said: My only concern is left back, Manning scares me against their right winger, so probably Stephens is the lesser of those 2 evils. Fellows, or whatever his name was, was pretty fast last Sunday. Stephens is even slower than Manning and showing a winger a route away from our goal area and goal line is not his forte ; IMO Bree, or even Meghoma (I know that won’t happen), would be better. Regardless, think positive and enjoy the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I'm feeling pretty nervous for this. Would like to see us go all out and try to blow them away, but doubt that's a good idea really (nor what Russ will do).

Of course I knew it was turned into a comprehensive like most Grammar schools were. Before it was built we all went to Woodley Hill GS . I was an old house converted into a school with no football playing fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
