I happened to go to the Fulham/Wolves game (with a Leeds supporting London mate) and we thought Wolves were pretty ordinary so I think with Adomah & Grealish back we have a good chance. Neves will be back (from suspension or injury?) & he is v influential according to the fans we chatted to before the match in a pub. They also felt the team was a little tired. Collectively they were pretty quiet at the Fulham game which surprised me given their league position. I think we've got a great chance on Saturday to really impose our ambition on this league.

1-1.

Will be a good watch though. Probably the first time I've been properly excited about a game since we've been down here. Has the feel of a big premier league game.

I'm a big fan of Jedinak but only concern would be he struggled to keep up with Preston's mobile midfielders who just passed around him a few weeks back. I presume Wolves have similar types in there.

Despite the stick he gets Whelan might've been a better fit for CM in this game. I take it he won't be fit in time.

That said they are a team who don't tend to keep clean sheets so Jack and Adomah will test them.

Definitely needs to be 4141

Agree on Grabban

Would pick Bjarnason for mobility

Just watched a couple of minutes of Leeds-Wolves. Leeds look awful. Wolves - along with Fulham - just pass and move much better than anyone else in this league, along with perhaps Brentford.

I do think we can find it tough against that sort of side.

I think the next two home games will define where we finish.

If we put on a show against Barcelona, it will be a major statement, not just for finishing second, but who knows, maybe first.

Fuck them. 3-0.

Can see SB watching this tonight and quickly switching to a 8-1-1 formation.....

Wolves good example of a team who make 3-5-2 work. Leeds can't handle them playing that formation.

We could play 8 goalkeepers and we have no chance against Real Barca.

Well we've got them at home so they should be one of the 7 wins we need for second.

They should be on this viewing. Wolves have just done the basics well but it's so easy for them. Leeds look a rabble.
