Bolton 0-1 Leeds

We normally do well against this lot, however with our current form, how do you see it going.

I'm going for a 2-1 win Spearing first goal.

I expect us to win this game honestly.

so disappointment is looming for me.

I can't see us scoring enough goals to win any game with this defence.

0-2 Leeds.

If the same team starts that did against Rovers then I can't see us even getting a point let alone winning it.

If Leeds sell out their end and really get behind them I think it will push them onto a win.

Leeds have sold out.

Basically a home game for them.

It will be the biggest crowd of the season but only because Leeds always sell their allocation, and then the latecomers buy tickets in the home end. It's a Category A fixture which means the cheapest ticket in the house is £28. Is there a point in this classification system in the Championship? Do people really want to see us play Leeds more than to see us play say Ipswich?

We're going to win this. A comfortable 3-1 home win and our season will be back on track.

I was worried before the Blackburn game,Im fucking petrified now. Who will start ? What tactics will he employ ? I dont know and not sure he does hence my apprehension !!!

Bolton 1-2 Leeds.

Freedman will publically blame the board after the game.

Looks like El Spit is in line for a game for them.

Leeds are a talented team and unless there is a substantial improvement in our performance and we offer a genuine attacking threat, we'll struggle against them.
This is definitely one for Beckford to start showing some form and composure - if he can't do it against the club where he made his name, he probably won't ever come good for us.

The main thing about this game is what changes Dougie has made and how he has used the break to turn things around. Despite propping up the table, I think the performance will be more important than the result - although a win would help.

Leeds fans want a big screen outside the Reebok for the thousands that can't get in.

Remember Hull last season?
We're better than Leeds and at home the 3 point's are our's
Apart from the Blackburn game and Forest away we've been the better team
but not got the point's
We need to get behind our team

Don't be silly, we were second best at Burnley and at home to Reading.

Two very even games. 

Campo's right.

All the games have been pretty even.

Some will say Forrest and Blackburn weren't but if you look at how those games flowed they actually were.

I will say i think Burnley, Forrest and Blackburn were all better footballing sides than us though.

The games can be as even as a fucking spirit level but the fact is we lost 3 and drew 2 out of the first 5 games of the season and bottom of the league.

some keep claiming we've been "battered" and "not in games" which is simply not true, so thats the only reason i bring that up.

but the outcome is obviously a loss.

It's true they were all tight games but the fact is we weren't good enough to take control and make the necessary difference - and we didn't look like scoring when we were on top.
It's all ifs and buts however we can't expect to win if we aren't capable of taking advantage of our dominant spells, give the ball away cheaply and put our defence under unnecessary pressure as we have been doing.
Question is whether or not the changes Dougie is proposing will address these issues.

The worrying thing for me is how much can he really change it against Leeds, he's pretty much used all of the players in the league and cup games last month and we still didn't win.

If we don't start well on Saturday it will be a horrible atmosphere IMO.
