Our next home match vs Villa

Yes from me. There has to be hope.
If there isn't, we might as well not field a team.

The optimist in me says there is a reaction and a kick left in them.

Not a chance as things stand,but it's at ER so you never know,fingers crossed for a good performance at least

I never back Leeds to lose but Villa are hitting form so went for the draw.

Villa have turned a corner after a shaky start, whereas we seem to be on a downward spiral. I hope for a reaction, but the pragmatist in me sees a draw at best.

Can't see anything but a defeat as things stand

Hope I'm wrong

Always hope, any team can beat any team on their day.. but probably need Villa to underperform..

Of course we have a chance against Villa as our home form it totally different to the away form and that was the same last season as well.

Totally agree, Pullhard.

I always want us to beat Aston Villa ever since the fiasco goal giveaway, after Villa had wasted time & feigned injuries throughout the game in 2019.

The obnoxious pair are McGinn & Mings still in the current Villa squad.

There’s always hope, and our home form is reasonable, but we need a big improvement in performance.

Cjay · Post by **Cjay** » Wed Nov 12, 2025 2:07 pm

Voted yes, always hope.

We are better at home and Villa aren't in great form away (1 win).

But confidence is a huge thing, both for the players and the fans.

Players must be struggling for it and it won't take much for a nervous Elland Road to get frustrated.

Don't want to hear any emotional fan bollox from Farke in his pre game press conferences either.

It's vital we go for it, be brave and attack.

We've nothing to lose and neither has DF at this stage, people won't be placated by a plucky draW with our upcoming fixtures

Well I'd be more than happy with 3 or 4 plucky draws from our next 5 fixtures

Tight poll on all three options!

Carrick Dave · Post by **Carrick Dave** » Wed Nov 12, 2025 7:28 pm

As it stands, we lose. But it's ER, so hope springs eternal - but only if we don't go behind.

FeelsLikeThunder · Post by **FeelsLikeThunder** » Thu Nov 13, 2025 6:22 am

There is always hope! Without it, I'd have gone mad years ago supporting this club. It's football, it's Leeds and it's Elland Road. We have to bring our A game, yes, but we should be doing that for every match anyway.

Johnthewhite · Post by **Johnthewhite** » Thu Nov 13, 2025 7:06 am

We can beat Villa at ER, so long as we get at them from the first whistle, and stop all the pointless passes at the back.
Come on LEEDS

We have a chance if we try to take the game to them - if Farke sets the team up to defend in the hope of a draw like the last couple of matches we are doomed. If we are to loose I would much prefer us to "give it a go" rather than sit back and invite Villa on to us.

Indeed, we can't defend efficiently with ten men behind the ball.

We always look a better side when we take the game to the opposition.

We have very little chance of winning if farke doesn't change his line up,by that I mean he has got to find a way of playing Gnotto and Piroe and doesn't involve aaronson,dcl and Harrison. If any of those 3 play imo we will not win and that will be the end of 1 Daniel Farke and it will be of his own doing .
