One for the Tanaka screamers..

I have one of those bad feelings that tonight our wheels might come off.


That is a very strong Toon lineup and bench.


Worried we might get a spanking

Positive thoughts to King Kev.

St James Park will be bouncing, do it for Kev etc
I’ll tell you honestly, I will love it if he beats it, love it.
Best wishes King Kev, 🙏🏻

We don't get a lot going forward from our full backs, and they are both full backs. Aaronson should sit next to Stach in midfield. Be interesting to see if we can link DCL as there's no one playing off him for the first time this season

Farke and his stupid team selections that have resulted in 2 wins & 5 draws in an unbeaten 7 game run. The best by a promoted team for 7 years

A very defensive lineup.
starting 11 allows us to kept it tight in the first half and then bring on 1 or 2 players in the 2nd half who are a bit more attacking
Leeds need a great summer 2026 with outgoings and incoming players

Justin is playing.

Surely you pick Rodon over Bornauw?

I'd say Sky Sports would pay big money for the tv rights to that meeting.

Is he? My mistake :lol:

Harsh on Borneuw then

No I don't think I would tbh, we've kept a clean sheet with Borneuw and conceded only 1 goal in 2.

I'd have kept him in.

Feels harsh to drop him.

A defeat at Newcastle is not a terrible thing,

I voted in one of our Poll of the Day polls, that our unbeaten run could come to an end at St James Park, the majority went for Liverpool.
