[Auntie Andy]

I thought Halford had a very good game today. Calm on the ball and defended well

[Tandy]

Leeds have won their last 6 home games without conceding a goal. If we play for a draw again we will get stuffed.

You're right that if we play for a draw we'll get beat but I don't think we'll be stuffed.

0-1 mighty Bluebirds

[Former Labour leader]

Jansson out for Leeds, which is a big loss for them.
Halford and Noone in for Whitts and Hollett who are both on the bench together with Lambert and Bennett.

[jon1959]

Starting XI: McGregor, Connolly, Richards, Bamba, Morrison, Halford, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Noone, K.Harris, Zohore

Cardiff subs: Murphy, John, Bennett, Whittingham, Hoilett, Healey, Lambert


None of the youngsters suggested earlier in the week by Warnock in the 18.


Janssen missing for Leeds.

Leeds pre-match arrogance and (over)confidence measured at 9.9/10. Probably justified, but you never know.

A team reliant on set-pieces have left Whittingham on the bench in place of human-sloth hybrid Greg Halford

This is going to be a long one

that's one thing I dont understand our strength is our set-pieces and Whitts is our best player for that don't get why he is on the bench so much when most of our goals are created by Whitts

[Former Labour leader]

Whitts was useless last Sat, even his set plays poor. If he can't put a decent cross, free kick, corner kick in, I am not sure he can justify his place in the team anymore.

Looks like a big crowd.

Richards concedes fkby the D



Straight into wall.

Somebody throw an egg at Terry Yorath

Looks like NW isn't banking on us being in their half much.
TBH he is probably justified in trying to contain and frustrate initially and keep our aces (whitts and Junior) up his sleeve.

Gonna be a long afternoon

[bobh]

Noone wins corner

[bobh]

fk to Halford - heads straight at keeper.

[City123]

Booking for Ayling, wasn't he sent off down here earlier in the season?
