Leeds United v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[Hookeysmith]

Very tough game but I think we may have enough

We have to go there and be positive and take the game to them - first 15 mins is critical

1-0 Chester

[mallo]

They have good pace up front which rules Samba out of defending but think we could score so 1-1 with fingers crossed.

I'm feeling positive about this a lot of people think we will draw or lose Leeds are not brilliant and I'm confidant about our chances we are Aston Villa and if we want to get promoted then these are the games we must win so I reckon 2-0.

[Des Little]

Tough game, this.  Can't see past a draw, probably 1-1.  Arthur Graham for them, Mark Burke equalising late on.

1-3

Aspinall
Walters
Lillis

Peter Swann for them.

The Leeds defence is not particularly good so as long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot we should get a draw at least. Samba at the back does worry me though. Against Ipswich I commented to my daughter that I don't think I have ever seen a villa player as big as him. Height wise maybe but just overall size I can't remember a bigger player.

Last two times I went to Elland Rd we won 1-2, so same again please.

[cheltenhamlion]

I went for the draw.

[Deano's Mullet]

Think we'll come unstuck in this one. Two nil loss.

[Legion]

2-0.

[Deano's Mullet]

To us or them?

[l_mckay]

Very tough game this,a draw would be a good result. 1-1 snodgrass

[Legion]

2-0.

To us or them?

Home team score listed first.

Sadly I think a loss. Hope I am wrong. I just cant remember us having much luck at Elland Road. I think Bruce will park the bus going for a point but it wont be enough and we will concede then chase a bit. 1-0 to the bad guys.

For those of you travelling: it has snowed today and it's friggin' cold right now.
Just saying ...

... see you at Elland f**king Road - a despicable ground with a very dislikeable local contingent.

As for the result: their home form has been very in and out - if we defend well we could get all three points, but I think it requires Bruce to put Hutton at LB and bring Elmo back at RB, in my view. And Hourihane needs to step up and be counted.
