Leeds Utd v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Irish Ian]

Goals for today.

In no particular order.

No fan trouble.
No injuries
No red cards
A clean sheet.
A cohesive performance from the front three.

The crowd are in a really good position to lift the players ahead of the next few games and I am sure they will play their part.

Today we can begin to lower the anxiety and regain the confidence.

It will be hard for me to follow the game today due to other commitments but I am here in spirit.

I honestly don't think we should be resting swathes of players for this game. Sends out a negative message, especially when we could end up 4th if we lose the next 2.

Until it's mathematically impossible we still have to try.

Agreed.

I'm out to lunch (yeah, we all know that, Sara) at the same place we went to last time we played Villa. It's a sign, I tell ye!

[The Subhuman]

Assuming a best case scenario of a 3-0 SU defeat in their final game we need to beat Villa by at least 4 today, think that's right on the edge of possible tbh...Would probably be a better chance of someone shaving a second off the 100 M record in the next week or The horses in a race finishing in Alphabetical order

[The Subhuman]

Outside of the LB position we're at full strength....Brown and Bogusz are on the bench though so would expect to see one of those second half

[The Subhuman]

Probably the best midfield 3 we've started since Saiz left

[HarryofOz]

Interesting choice to have both Phillips and Forshaw in the midfield, I wasn't expecting that. Forshaw was one of the better performers against Brentford and Klich has been one of our best of late, so it's an understandable decision.

I can see that being our play-off midfield combination.

[paddy parrott]

That bit more Presence needed for some x bite I'd say mate.

[paddy parrott]

We all know that a few /couple o' places are up for grabs! Come on You Whites ..MOT.

[The Subhuman]

They should rotate, Kalvin sat back getting protection from Forshaw, who in turn should get forward to pose an attacking threat. I could see Klich drifting between AMF and centre

[The Subhuman]

[Genghers]

Forshaw will probably be the further forward midfielder. Happy with the line-up, now they just have to go and put in a performance!

[HarryofOz]

Agreed. Come on Leeds, automatic promotion is gone but two good wins to give us a confidence boost heading into the play-offs will be very nice.

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere (I've not seen it, but I don't read everything), but commentator has just said that Alioski is out for the season.

[HarryofOz]

Villa falling over at every opportunity already.

They're attacking with Pace and targeting Dallas. Think it'll be a long afternoon for him.

[Genghers]

Mings (vile player) makes a good run then dives in the box. No pen, no yellow.

[HarryofOz]

Villa on top in the opening five minutes with a couple of half chances. Now if there is some balance to the world's karma we will score on our first attack.

[Genghers]

Struggling to build anything much at the moment. Villa keeping shape and pressing well.
