Southampton views that they will get battered is the same thing Wendies fans said before we played them.

I think we are due a stinker and this game may well be it.

We are going to lose games throughout the season.

The early kick-off & the long journey to Southampton could unsettle us, I'd assume we would travel down to Hampshire today.

I'm hoping Farke starts Rodon (quicker than Coops) & Struijk as our CB paring, playing the old guard against a pacey Saints attack could also unsettle us.

Travel down the day before to every away game now mate, have done for some time.

The players all stay over at the Hilton Doubletree for home games too. The number of Leeds fans outside the hotel on game days is crazy.

Thought that must be the case as Rob Price spoke about the importance of monitoring players sleep patterns in this intruiging & revealing video.

Apparently Rob & his team are responsible for getting our players back to being supreme fitness, just before Farke arrived at Leeds after last season's training/lack of fitness shambles

Well worth a watch!

Rodon will slot back in for sure.

Forgot it us an early KO.

Another long haul for the faithful traveling fans.

My Leeds away pals have set their alarm clocks for between 2 & 3am.

One of our lads overslept & missed the Millwall game, even though the guy picking him up was gently knocking on his door, not wanting to wake the neighbourhood up.

Do Sky/BT give a damn about our loyal support, do they feck :(

You could be right, Ian.

Saints haven't kept a clean sheet this season.

I once did that after getting home in the early hours after a boozy rugby trip. I knocked gently on our front door so as I didn’t wake my then missus up. But I wanted her to come down and open the front door as I couldn’t find my key.

The logic of a drunken mind.

I’m the opposite. I think we’re going to seriously spank someone soon and this could be it. Hence my 5-0 prediction.

That would be a joy to behold.

I think we have it in us.

A couple of our lads have gone down today, taking their wives with them for a long weekend.

Some of the others are setting off at 5am.

My cousin went for afternoon tea at the Doubletree the day before a game. Got into the lift to be faced with Melier and James. They were really nice to her. She didn't know the team stayed there before games.

What a combination to meet, one of our tallest and one of our smallest players 😂.

Whenever I’ve met any of the players, at awards nights etc, they’ve all been very accommodating.

Rather them than me mate, my days of setting off so early & spending the best part of the day on a coach are over thankfully, arriving home at 4.30am after a night match was no fun either! I need my beauty sleep nowadays :-D :sleep:

I have an extra two holidays a year with the money I saved, not travelling all over the country following Leeds.

I'd prefer to drive down there on Thursday, as the motorway traffic is horrendous on a Friday.

Leeds Lesley notoriously "bumps" into Leeds players at hotels ...especially in lifts. Summerville and Gnonto last time IIRC ... She goes to every game on her own... Got the train back with Watford fans last weekend..
