Leeds United v Sunderland Match Thread

[Chilli D]

Huge game, make no mistake.
A draw wouldn't be a disaster but we could really do with a win to give us momentum.
A defeat would be a disaster especially if the others pick up points.

[John in Louisiana]

The team to win on tuesday night

Darlow
Bogle
Gudmundsson
Ampadu
Justin
Bolija
Struijk
Stach
Calvert Lewin
Longstaff
James

and look at 55-60 mins to bring on

Gnonto- James
Tananka - Stack
Nmecha - DCL

What did Aaronson do to make you angry?

[Sean_Nile]

What is the toll? You think West Ham are gonna get back 13 points over the final 10 games while Forest find 11 and Spuds 8?

Drowning!!! paddling away quite happily then getting a cramp and going under.

They're not though....

They're not though....

if you throw for the bullseye and miss the mark time and time again... all I am saying that your recent failures must play on your mind.

Like I was saying a week or two ago - we can't afford to start losing home games given how few points we score away.

i had forgot to state Arronson - Stack. Both players need some sort of rest so neither should be playing for 90 mins

Stach has played two to four fewer games than Bogle, Rodon, Sttuijk, Gudmundsson & Ampadu

Stach can have a rest on Sunday when Tanaka will get another cup start

I'd start Stach v Norwich.... 5th round, play your best team or close to it. Secondly it'd be Longstocking not Tanaka if stach were "rested"

Stach had a rest when he was injured, which might partly explain why he has been so outstanding since he came back.

[1964white]

Sunderland walked away from their last match with four fresh injuries, and the prognosis is grim. Romaine Mundle is facing a "difficult" thigh injury that could side-line him until April, while Jocelin Ta Bi’s Premier League debut ended in heartbreak, with a foot injury likely requiring surgery. The hits didn't stop there.

Both Nordi Mukiele and Brian Brobbey were forced off and are expected to miss at least a month with calf and groin issues, respectively. When you add these names to long-term absentees like Reinildo Mandava and the slowly recovering Dennis Cirkin, Le Bris is left with a skeletal squad that will require immense creativity to fill. While Sunderland grapple with injuries, Leeds are dealing with their own brand of drama.

Surely these absentees weakens the Sunderland team.

Longstocking

Sunderland are a much better home side than an away one.

Bit like us actually, even more stark tbf.

A top 6 home side.

But a bottom 4 away one.

Better than us at home, but only very very slightly better than us away (we are 18th they are 17th).

[The Subhuman]

Sunderland injuries v our mostly full strength.
Poor away v our good home form.
They're in "freefall"
ER in an evening game under lights


All points to a Sunderland win ...

[Barlow Boy]
