Maybe we'll both bring LUFC some luck with our attendance at ER cheering on the lads.Boo Radley wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 8:25 am Well this is a pessimist thread, and if I were sitting at home I’d feel the exact same but I’m just after traveling over to Leeds for this game - my first in quite a while - and I have to hope that the team will at least put in a decent performance.
There is little logic to support the hope for a real step up, or especially a win today with so many still missing, and especially Philips. However, last week was such a low that there has to be a reaction. Players’ attitudes and abilities are being questioned. Surely that alone would drive you to respond.
Wolves were awkward and lucky against us last season - just maybe we can turn the tables this time around. They are not that good.
Anyway, I have my lucky shirt and I’m just going to stay optimistic, even just for selfish reasons!
Can’t wait to get back into Elland Road later!!

Without Phillips in midfield we just won't be able to gain any control. And as any footballer up and down the country will tell ya, football is won in the engine room.
I hope the lads give me a tonic so i don't need the vodka. Will Forshaw start? Give me another lemsip instead...
But why? he can't be match-fit, that would be a very contradictory selection from Marcelo.Cjay wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 9:04 am Ive got a horrible feeling Adam Forshaw will start vs Wolves who will absolutely batter him.
2 years out and it was so obvious vs Southampton.
Not his fault but a 60% pass accuracy only worsened by 2 kids showed how dire he was.
I hope MB doesnt pick him, the guy shouldnt even be in the squad, he is not even close to match sharp.
No need to Boo, as subs we certainly wouldn't be anywhere near the top of Bilesa's pecking orderBoo Radley wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 9:17 am Hopefully’64! Bring the boots just in case - mine are already packed!
He shouldn't i agree but he cant have been match fit vs Southampton and MB still brought him on for Rodrigo when we needed a goal.
Bate played a full game for the U23's last night so I doubt he will even be on the bench today.Lumiukko wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:37 pm Am dreading this one already with KP missing.
I'm in agreement with some on here that I would like to see Raph play as #10 with Harrison and James as wingers. Rodrigo up top, Klich and Bate in midfield and then Shacks, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas as our backs. Sadly, not a chance in hell of that happening.
MB will pick:
Mes
Shacks
Llorente
Cooper
Dallas
Struijk
Klich
Roberts
Raph
James
Rodrigo
With a bench of: Klaesson, Harrison, Forshaw, Gelhardt, Summerville, Cresswell, Greenwood, Drameh, McCarron or McKinstry.

Me neither, I'm envisioning a midfield of Forshaw, Klich, Roberts and Struijk
Rumour has it, Jimenez may be rested todayWhite Riot wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 10:17 am Me neither, I'm envisioning a midfield of Forshaw, Klich, Roberts and Struijk
With Neves, Traore, Jimenez and Hee Chan Hwang charging through them like a knife through butter
