Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted October 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Sorry it's so early chaps. Still feel a bit grog .Pint of Benylin a hot water bottle, a Bernard Cornwell and an early night for me. . --------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday - V - L**ds United Saturday 26th October, 2019 12:30 Kick Off Hillsborough Stadium THE TEAM NEWS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Predicted line-up (4-1-4-1): Westwood Palmer Iorfa Borner Fox Hutchinson Reach Luongo Bannan Harris Fletcher Unavailable: Wildsmith (Injured), Lees (Injured), Bates (Injured) Doubtful: Westwood , Luongo Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood (ankle) is back in contention but boss Garry Monk could stick with Cameron Dawson. Midfielder Massimo Luongo is fit after limping off following his winning goal in the midweek victory over Stoke. --------------------------------------------------------- Predicted line-up (4-1-4-1): Casilla Ayling White Cooper Alioski Phillips Costa Klich Dallas Harrison Bamford Unavailable: Hernandez (Injured), Forshaw (Injured) Doubtful: Shackleton (Injured), Cooper (Injured) Leeds United skipper Liam Cooper (groin) is fit, but boss Marcelo Bielsa might retain the side that started the draw at Preston North End. Patrick Bamford will continue up front despite not scoring since August. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE GAFFERS Garry Monk: "I think Leeds are up there with a couple who were probably favourites at the start of the season and they are expected to go up, as they were last year. Unlucky in the situation they had in the play-offs but all credit to Derby what they did. That's the expectation of that club. "It's a big season for them but we are on our own path and have got our own focus. We respect the fact they are a good team with the way that they play, but we'll work our way, focus on ourselves and if we do that, we know we can give ourselves a good opportunity to win the game." Marcelo Bielsa: "All the matches are difficult, whatever position in the table the opposition are in, it's always a hard game. Sheffield Wednesday's style has changed, they've improved a lot, they are not easy to play against, they force opponents into mistakes and their players respond well to the manager's tactics. "In the Championship the results don't allow you to say any team is great, it's very inconsistent. This year the team is better, the level of the players are better, we have more options in the squad." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Match facts None of the last 42 league meetings between Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United have ended goalless since a 0-0 draw in April 1969 in the top-flight. Excluding play-offs, the most shots by a team against an opponent in the Championship last season was Leeds against Sheffield Wednesday (53 across two games), though they only scored twice against the Owls. Sheffield Wednesday have lost just one of their last seven league games, winning four and drawing two. Leeds have won their last four away league Yorkshire derbies, last winning five in a row between 1997-2000 in the Premier League which included three wins at Hillsborough. Since leaving Leeds in May 2017, Sheffield Wednesday boss Garry Monk has faced his former side on three occasions, winning twice (both with Birmingham last season) and losing once (with Middlesbrough in November 2017). Monk is one of only two managers Marcelo Bielsa has lost more than one game against as Leeds manager, along with Steve McClaren. courtesy of the legendary collinding thread..

latemodelchild Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ooh, leeds at home, win and we go joint top. One of those games you worry about but it's one that we should be relishing. We want to be competing at the top. We want to be in and around the business end and these are the games we will have to play. This is why we traipse down to Hillsborough every other week ffs. Let's not worry about it, let's get down there and get behind our boys. Come on Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It’s interesting that Monk’s Birmingham team did the double over Bielsa’s Leeds last season. If offered it now, I’d take a point tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Quality early omdt me lord. Muchos gracias. Get well soon old bean. Might I suggest a snifter from the top shelf? That's a cognac, not a copy of Razzle. Looking forward to this bugger tomorrow. Posh boys brawling in a large semi at 9am, Then off to S6 to watch more down to earth boys brawling at 3pm. A good days sport for a proud English Yorkshireman. Let's hope we get both results. UTO ETID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Difficult game, but winnable none the less. The big danger is sitting too deep, like we've done in second halves recently, can't do that with these. Head says 1-1, heart says 2-1 win for Wednesday Edited October 25, 2019 by striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Welcome back MiLord Tough one tomorrow. I think I'd be happy with a point. Having said that I'm reasonably confident Vs dirty l**ds at home. As long as we play our best. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My effort was brief cos I havnt got the knowledge (or the patience) to do the research that Snoots does. I'm glad he's back. I will have to ditch my 1000 word OMDT with loads of facts and interesting information now that Snoots has posted his thread . Oh well fame was good while it lasted. Always leave 'em wanting more, dude, FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sternlad Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Sorry to hear you’re under the weather m’lud, couple of snifters up at the Nuns Chuff will sort you out I’m sure. We have a good record against “the dirt from Elland Road” and so does Monk recently, so we have to be reasonably confident. Come on you blue and White Wizaaards!! Let’s be ‘avin these flippin flippers from the flip side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head says 1-1, heart says 2-1 win for Wednesday Not sure I agree, I think our best opportunity to beat them is to sit deap, that's how Monk sets up his teams and probably why his Birmingham team beat Leeds twice last season. Luckily for us we also have a bit of quality who will hopefully pick them off when the opportunity arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Bonvin Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Welcome back Milord. Hope you’re feeling better soon, lifted by a win for the Blue & White Wizards tomorrow. The Lewis Baker/David Prutton Derby tomorrow is a tough one to call. I just hope the Look North producers are crying in their editing suite come full time tomorrow. Up the Owls. Happy Collinding everyone. Edited October 25, 2019 by Pablo Bonvin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMacLean Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Confident for once. No reason why we should get beaten at home by them certainly, they aren't a Newcastle or Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
