As an aside, first time I've been in the riverside for a while and was appalled by the state of it in parts! The metal section of steps looked like they were ready to crumble at some point from the rust. Was chatting to a couple of Zwolle fans at half time and they too were saying what a shithole that stand was.

Nobody I know went to their actual seats in the riverside, not sure where you were. I wans initially on the Blackburn End side but moved to the opposite side when everyone sat down!

Dullest derby I can remember to be honest, on the pitch anyway, 0-0 would have been a fair result. Thank fuck I don't have to watch them play every week with their mind numbing brand of Parker ball. Yeah they do have a strong chance of promotion but it's horrific to watch. Nothing much to say about the match, it was that uneventful 😴

It's our turn for some luck surely. They've had their fair share in the last few with disallowed goals, handballs, red cards. The pendulum must be due to swing again at some point.....

Really? I think it would actually do them the world of good to have a hard reset and ship out all the players who don't even want to be there.

Allegedly refused to play for the reserves to maintain fitness, and has never actually been 'fit' since. Eustace has said he'll be back to feature for us though. Whether that's bollocks or he's had a change of heart and agreed to knuckle down I don't know. I don't for one minute believe he's been genuinely injured for as long as he has been out for though, that I can say for certain.

Barnes has started 1 game all season and had a few fleeting substitute appearances, if we can't handle him we may as well give it up as a bad job.... Just looks like a Pace signing to try and get them onside, the brain dead will lap it up.

Something we need to do more of is get Baker up more loitering on the edge of the box to fire a Weimann style screamer in. He’s got a wicked shot on him as shown in set pieces etc previously. Surprised we haven’t tried to utilise this more, particularly if Gueye is playing and knocking balls down.

I'd be terrified if Gueye had to start in this game. Not from a playing perspective as he's contributed lately, I can just imagine him letting the occasion get to him, then doing something ridiculous and getting sent off. IF we did somehow get a win though his dingle baiting would be absolutely phenomenal at full time. He was winding Leeds fans up yesterday pretending to cry then blowing them kisses 🤣

A bit like how O'brien would have been the other season, still pisses me off thinking about that. Only problem is there'll be a queue for him and not sure what puts us near the front, unless Eustace has contacts at Villa being from the area, suppose Rudy may still know a few from his time there too 🤔

It is for us....... The problem with a lot of these pacy wingers is zero end product too.

We do need defensive cover, a centre half that can cover full back would be ideal. However, teams aren't going to loan us players to sit on our bench so it's easier said than done. I must say, I had concerns over Batth getting injured a lot given his age, he's looked in great shape though 👍

He won't be coming but I'd rather push Brittain forward than play him at left back. He's the best crosser of the ball at the club - he wouldn't be on the left.

Got a good assist too. As much as I'd welcome Hill, I'd say it's very unlikely.

We need some pace to make us more effective, we have it to an extent with ACD but when he plays we become more frail defensively. I’m not a huge Hedges fan but he does offer more protection. You could of course argue that’s not his primary job. There's a player in Sweden that fits the bill, goes by the name of Herman Johansson. Bags of pace with an eye for goal. Probably get him for around 1m, which of course they won’t stump up.

Leeds have a terrific home record, partly because refs are constantly influenced by the fans, the amount of time they whinged and moaned today was embarrassing. Then they had the cheek to sing he's not fit to referee, after giving them practically every decision all game 🙄

Take a bow Dom Hyam and Danny Batth, both absolutely superb today. For the most part Beck and Brittain too aside from a few wobbles. Gueye as erratic as he is, you can't deny him another assist! I'd have to watch it back but sure he properly hindered ACD for the attack which lead to the penalty though? Tronstad brilliant again and I also feel Baker is growing into this team now, he also looked to pick up a bit of the shithousery we're missing from Trav. Was feeling a little deflated after their goal, but the equaliser may just give us that shot in the arm for Saturday!

In fairness it was pretty similar at Cardiff when we scored 3 rather unexpectedly. Granted the opposition today is a lot better! You never know though, Weimann may have another great game.

Heard Cantwell didn't train because of a slight knock rather than illness.

2 shocking finishes by Isak with his version of Hedges at PNE then Tonali not long after, should be at least 4 nil

I have United season ticket holders that work for me, they're that fed up they miss a lot of games recently. However, you're only 'allowed' to miss a certain number of games a season or they take the ticket off you and allocate to someone on the waiting list. As a result they have people scanning their ticket and not even going in they just go round town boozing. They don't want to lose their tickets for good in case there's a turn in fortunes. As disappointing as it can be seeing Ewood half empty we sure have it easy in terms of ticket availability.

Thursday to Saturday looked OK last time I checked, just cold

End block of the riverside is on sale now, well the top portion of it, although I haven't seen the club advertising this fact

Key difference being we had a clinical finisher then to win it for us.....this season we don't. Would any of the current attackers slot that chance away with a first touch finish like Szmodics did? You never know, someone might step up and win it for us, it'll be tougher than the home game though by some distance. Since their first couple of games in August, only the unwashed lot up the road have managed to lay a glove on them at Elland Road.

Awful game at the riverside. We really have nothing to fear against then twats. Obviously their defensive record is decent like but only takes a moment of class.
