Leeds Utd v Norwich City Match Thread
24th January 8:45pm | Elland Road
Leeds could move within two points of second placed Ipswich Town, but only if they can overcome a revitalised Norwich City side, when the two sides meet tonight at Elland Road.
Just like Leeds, the Canaries are unbeaten in 2024. They held Southampton to a 1-1 draw on New Years Day, won at Hull, and even more impressively, beat West Brom 2-0 last weekend. Thirteen points may separate the two sides, but both have aspirations of promotion, albeit via different routes.
Norwich will be looking to take revenge on Leeds after losing a five goal thriller, after been two-up, back in October! It was a bitter pill for the Canaries to swallow; not only had Leeds come back from a two-nil deficit to win, but Leeds did it at Carrow Road, and with Daniel Farke in their corner.
Leeds will be without the services of Wilfred Gnonto (hip), Pascal Struijk (groin), Karl Darlow (thumb) and Start Dallas (leg). Daniel Farke must decide whether to keep the same side that beat Preston last weekend or recall fit again Liam Cooper.
Ethan Ampadu has looked impressive, playing alongside fellow compatriot Joe Rodon in central defence - they have only conceded once in the last three games together. Should Ampadu get the nod, it would allow Gruev more game time in midfield!

They have had a bit of a resurgence yes, what's been the catalyst to it i haven't been following them, new manager ?

I think rearranged due to FA cup weekend, not sure why to this week though.Jimstorrie wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:23 am I've obviously missed something , but why is this the only championship fixture this week?

Others have delayed then rather than 3 home games in a week.
Re: Leeds Utd v Norwich City Match Thread
I think DF mentioned something about getting it played now rather than later, i agree myself, we've been quite fortunate with the gaps between games and our run of home ones.

Re: Leeds Utd v Norwich City Match Thread
Perhaps DF thinks we are going on a long Cup run and doesn’t want a congested end of season run in?

Re: Leeds Utd v Norwich City Match Thread
I’ve just had a look at the club website review of the game tonight. It says there are still tickets available. I clicked on the website link which (eventually) took me to a page for Swansea away. No mention of Norwich.
I say eventually because I had to prove I wasn’t a robot. This exercise all but needed me to provide an intestinal x-ray for proof.
Why is supporting Leeds so difficult?

And that's before the footy starts OB
It's all part of the holistic, masochistic experience that we signed up for a long time ago
I used to pay for LUTV every match day and was typically watching either a blue, or yellow, circle of death, which was occasionally interrupted by what seemed to be some fuzzy, out of focus, live feed transmitted by a bloke tied to a bungee rope on his JVC camcorder
Well worth 5 squid for "The Match Experience"

Re: Leeds Utd v Norwich City Match Thread
£10 for the privilege now, been pretty reliable for me this season til it decided not to process my payment last week. One of the streams posted on here did a great job though.White Riot wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 1:08 pm Classic

Re: Leeds Utd v Norwich City Match Thread
Yeah, I stick with the streams these days Cussie, as there are lots of them and they are pretty reliable.
It's going back quite a few years when I was watching LUTV
And there was no Emma in those days
But I guess you're too busy focusing on the footy to notice Emma

Re: Leeds Utd v Norwich City Match Thread
It's great timing really. 3 home games in a week. Plus we only have eyes on today's game and not the pressure to worry about what we do on Saturday.Jimstorrie wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:29 am Ah!
