Don't know about everyone else but I am buzzingggg, cmon city!!

[Former Labour leader]

This is my guess for the starting line up. Unlikely that any signings this week will start.
Alnwick
Ng
Goutas
McGuinness
ODowda
Wintle
Ralls
Ramsey
Ojo
Robinson
Grant.

Bowler probably in for Ojo - but if the niggles are all OK the rest I agree. No traditional No 9.

Subs: Alnwick, Collins, Simpson, Romeo, Adams, Colwill, Etete, Meite, Ugbo or Ojo.

I'd agree, when will Collins force his way back in, or will he?

Hopefully, we will get more chances, we look stronger on either side attacking-wise now.

Subs: Alnwick, Collins, Simpson, Romeo, Adams, Colwill, Etete, Meite, Ugbo or Ojo.

I thought Meite was more a no.9. I know he can play wide but he's pretty tall, built like a tank and has a decent goal scoring record.

Think the days where we easily gained three points at Elland Road have long gone

[Taunton Blue Genie]

We are likely to score nil and concede a few.

Wasn't he the ref against Blackpool last year when madine took out ng and then scored the equaliser?

He made up for it, giving us a 3-1 win up there

[Nobody's Rep]

Oh yeah he did didn't he 👍

[North Cardiff Blue]

Would hate it if they had Kaba

Although it looks like WBA will nick him.

[North Cardiff Blue]

Strong squad, it will be tough for our fullbacks potentially up against Dramah and Dan James!

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Slowest week of my life.

[BLUETIT]

Slowest week of my life.

That’s 20mph for you

[Dorcus]

That’s 20mph for you

And this site

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Bulut just said in his press conference that Allsopp is out of the Leeds game. Hopeful that the others with knocks will be fit.

[City123]

Sounds like all but Sawyers & Allsop will be available

[North Cardiff Blue]

Predictions?
Lose 2 nil but hard to predict.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

2-0 Leeds.

Full on meltdown about how we can't score to save our lives.

Then we beat QPR 4-0.
