NorwichRat 4 Posted January 27, 2019 Cannot wait for Saturday. Planning to drive up in time for a beer in Hotel then get to the stadium about an hour before the game. Going to be one hell of an atmosphere and that's just from our lot. Cannot see us loosing this. Betting on a draw but If we have Klose back we can win this. They giving it big time on waccoe buy some are worried... And so they should be COYY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StuartL 1 Posted January 28, 2019 Of course we're worried. The second best away record coming head to head with the best home record. It has the makings of a classic. But seriously? Driving up and then just one beer in the hotel? And at the ground for an hour before kick off? That's rock 'n roll! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 134 Posted January 28, 2019 I haven't been in Yorkshire for a while, ... This has all the makings of a classic! I hope we have Klose back , ... the defence will have to be at the races... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted January 28, 2019 Totally has the makings of a classic. Leeds have been around the top of the table all season but have struggled recently with 3 defeats in their last 5 league games. Also if you look back to their win against Villa on 23 December, their winning goals have come after the 85th minute except for their comfortable win over Derby. Time will tell whether they are choking as they did back in League 1 ten years ago, or it's just a blip. City have also had a sticky patch with one win (and one defeat) in their last 5, but despite this a win on Saturday will guarantee City go back on top of the table. Both sides have scored numerous late goals and both have come back to win after being a goal down after 90 minutes. It will have to be a pretty comprehensive scoreline for the fans of the winning team to start to relax ! So, nailed on for 0-0 then ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only the perennially dull Middlesbrough and inexplicably Hull have stopped us scoring at home, while only Hull (again!) have stopped you scoring away from home. 0-0 seems a real outlier, but stranger things have happened. 2-1 to either side. Impossible to call which way IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,612 Posted January 29, 2019 I have to be honest i'm not hugely confident about this one due to our defending of late. If Tettey is back then i'd be tempted to play him with Trybull just to give us a bit more solidity as I feel that we have been a little too easy to play through in recent games with attacking midfielders on the opposition side getting to run at our defence too often. That said we are still playing pretty well and producing some fantastic football so i can see us scoring as well. i certainly can;t see it being 0-0! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
