Huge game tonight, need to rectify the awful week we had at Bramley Moore earlier this month. Many blues now believe our season is over, but win here tonight and get a result down at Brighton (who look crap this year) and we go into February and beyond with good players returning and well in the mix for Europe.

Even if we ultimately fall short of the European spots this year, as I think we likely will, if we keep ourselves in the hunt right until the very end the crowd will be right behind the team. If we just look like we've thrown the towel in however, it will quickly turn to apathy / numbness.

Yes, I think this is fair. I don't expect this squad to make Europe, but I don't see why we shouldn't be in the race until the final knockings. That, in itself, is tangible progress and is still reasonably ambitious. But we do need to sort out the home form. The away form is magnificent but unsustainable. A few away wins turning to draws and a few home losses turning to wins would give us a better outcome. Shouldn't be beyond us starting tonight.

A 2 or 3 nil win and DCL not scoring would be nice. Have a feeling Moyes will start Coleman, hopefully I’m way off the mark with this.

Don't forget the inevitable poverty chants in the first 5 minutes, because Leeds is obviously such a utopia.

I'm an Everton fan from Leeds I didn't know what to think.

No, no, I'm fine with a 2- or 3-nil win featuring Seamus and a scoreless DCL...

Be interesting to see what he does here.

Last time he changed the team after a win we got beat.

 

[BlueHerts78]

He's going to shoehorn Keane and gana back in isn't he?

Well he can't, so no.

 

[BlueHerts78]

Oh is he still banned? That God for that.

It definitely wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen!.

Hopefully Patterson gets another start today though (even though probably no good will come of it!).

Hopefully DCL will have a wretched time regardless.

I expect Idrissa will replace Armstrong, Dewsbury-Hall if fit enough will replace Rohl and Branthwaite if fit enough will replace Patterson as Moyes won't be able to resist playing O'Brien at right back again

I hate to say it, but this just smells of an embarrassing Leeds do the double on us, fresh off an unexpected big win. Would love to be wrong, but Im not even sure we get KDH, Ndiaye or Gana back for today.
