Leeds United vs Brentford Match Thread

[Pullhard]

We really need to win this one or things could be looking very dodgy by the time we get to the Wolves game.

Wolves are flying at the moment. Could have taken all 3 points at Brentford last night.
What looked like a gimme v Wolves a few weeks ago is anything but.
Puts more pressure to get a result this weekend.

We need a win tbh they usually get a result under the lights,I think it is a winnable match without a doubt ,I really think Tanaka has got to start ,I like bijol I think he is solid and if Nmecha starts and we get a penalty let him take it personally I think DCL is a bit low on confidence at the moment

Cannot Stach take penalties - he hits the ball like its been fired from a cannon ?

4 of our 5 "big" signings have cost us 1.3M per start so far.. That's a very poor return for 61M ish outlay. Thank god for Stach and our cheaper signings

[Johnsie123]

Cannot Stach take penalties - he hits the ball like its been fired from a cannon ?

Yer defo I just think it needs to be someone other than DCL and Nmecha has taken penalties for us before.

Click on our goalscorers at the top of the page .

Gordon Hodgson scored goals against Brenford, about 30 years before my time.

I knew a kid in our street in Armley called Gordon Hodgson, we used to called him the Milky Bar Kid as he was a deadringer for the boy on the telly adverts.

What might give us an extra edge against Brentford is ( im expecting anyway ) that they wont be a team that comes to ER and sits deep. Any time i have seem them they seem to want to go out and play attacking football, so that might just help us on Saturday.

Yes, they tend to win or lose (apart from the other night).
We’ve lost 12 and they’ve lost 11.

[GreennWhite]

One thing that is concerning me with the games coming up is not our own league games, but the Wales players in our squad. They have to play Bosnia-Herzegovina in what is a world cup semi-final play off game. If they win that they play the winners of Northern Ireland or Italy ( ok so its going to be Italy ) All if`s and buts of course, but if Wales get into that play-off final and were to lose it, thats a very big blow for those players and if they come back with that on their minds it might not bode well for our remaining games, if it starts to effect their performances.
We also have the chance they pick up injuries as they will be well up for the fight to reach the World Cup finals. It also means they have to play these extra 2 games and get no rest
Lets hope for the best for Wales because that would mean the best for us as well, with those guys coming back full of confidence.

Was thinking along the same lines mate, I still believe that the International break ( and the playoffs).was a contributing factor two seasons ago.

Bloody Welsh went through heartbreak them with DJ missing a penalty.

And less of your negative vibes about Norn Iron, that said methinks this next WC will be nothing but a propaganda piece for the Mango Mussolini in the White house, so it might be one to miss.

Okafor & Longstaff would have played more games if not for their injuries.

[The Subhuman]

Okafor & Longstaff would have played more games if not for their injuries.

Longstaff has been rightly benched for a while now, Okafor we knew was injury prone before we bought him. Point still applies... 61M for 52 starts
