Burnley v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Clitheroe White]

I knew as soon as the Blunts got beat on Friday that the wait for Burnley was going to be intolerable.

Aaaaggggggghhh.

Strangely I’ve felt the opposite with the other results going our way. Looking forward to it.

The best bet for this fixture is that both teams will not score.

The stats return a draw at 0-0, but then I also thought Sheff Utd would beat Hull. 0-3 shocked me almost into disbelief, but then the Blades weren't at full strength and neither are Burnley. Could Leeds win by a goal to nil and can the combination of Solomon and James conjure another early goal?

Let's hope this game delivers on it's top billing promise returning big smiles all around West Yorkshire.

Ohhhh!!! A Herm Edwards classic one-liner!!!

I actually use another one of his all the time…

“sweep the corners!”

I actually said I wouldn't be surprised if it ended 0-0 a few days ago on a different thread.

The majority of our members don't think we'll win this game.

Are we playing Man City, Arsenal or Liverpool?

[Tom the Cat]

If we are promoted, as we should be, playing against a team like Burnley in the prem would be a walk in the park compared to some of the others. Lets get out there and give it to them.

[GreennWhite]

There is no reason at all to fear playing Burnley. Its one of those games were we need all our players to turn up and put in a good shift, we cant go there carrying a few passengers and expect to come away with anything.

We're the apex predator, we really should be looking to win all games.

[FeelsLikeThunder]

Woke up feeling very good today, confident that my beloved team can get a result.

I'm not scared of Burnley, or anyone else in this division. We are Leeds United! We can and should absolutely thump this lot as a statement of intent.

[The Subhuman]

Really looking forward to this, as usual. I think we're 3 goals better, take off one for being away and one maybe two if we go at it negatively. 40/60 we'll concede, 20/80 we'll concede two, Very little chance we'll concede more than 2.

No, but we've had some really poor performances away from home this season so you can understand people's apprehension.
But as I have already said, we can win this game. It's a real statement of intent if we do.

[Tyzy]

I don't fear Burnley and we are probably a better team but it's Leeds we are talking about here and when there's a chance to open up a gap we usually don't take it.
Love to be proved wrong of course .

I'm just surprised you weren't the first one to predict a Leeds defeat, Tyzy.

I actually said I wouldn't be surprised if it ended 0-0 a few days ago on a different thread.

You did mention a 0-0 draw, others tip a 1-1 draw. Considering Burnley aren't at full strength, I think Leeds have enough to win this 1-0.

I've only just noticed that Norwich in 11th place have scored just 5 fewer goals than Leeds, yet Burnley in 3rd place have 17 fewer goals.

[DDB220]

Hopefully, it will be a terrific game. If we can snatch an early goal, I can only see one winner. If they score first it could be a tough and frustrating watch, they are hard to break down.

Let’s hope for the former.

I doubt this will be a 0-0, so on the basis of my prediction ability it probably will be 0-0.

[FeelsLikeThunder]

Hopefully the manager and players are sharing the lack of fear towards Burnley that is being felt on this thread. Love to see it.

Another weird stat is that West Brom have only lost 5 games, the same as Sheff U, but have 14 points less.

[Victor_OTT_17]

Very winnable game for me this! I predict a close 1-0 victory for us. These are games we need to try and win if we are going up...

[pjm2019]

Is Wober fit enough to start this then allows Apms in midfield. I would play 4-3-3 so we are solid in defence and enough up front to create chances

[CHAPELALLMAN]

The meanest defence in the Championship versus the highest scoring attack in the Championship - interesting....
