Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Very tough game this against our old foes, they seem on fire this season and them & WBA have opened up a massive gap. Can’t see it being our usual walkover against them, I reckon we’ll only win about 2 or 3 nil :xmasthumbup:

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We're 18/1 to win and BTTS on skybet. Whoever the matchup is, in the championship that's absurd odds.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Think we will off a shock tomorrow. Second Welsh team to win at Elland Rd this season.
Team srlection will be interesting. Am expecting a couple of changes. Think sick note would have started at fb, but he's got another friggin injury.

Norman Hunter is the cover star of Saturday's centenary season matchday programme for the visit of Cardiff City in the Sky Bet Championship at Elland Road.
Each issue is dedicated to someone who has made a significant contribution to Leeds United over the past 100 years, in date order.
Hunter is fifth on the club's all time appearance list and helped the club go from the Second Division to First Division champions, winning every domestic honour with the Whites.
Available from around stadium and inside the Superstore for £3.50 ahead of Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash, our 100-page programme also has regular columns with Marcelo Bielsa, chief executive Angus Kinnear and captain Liam Cooper.
The programme also features extracts from Daniel Chapman's new book '100 Years of Leeds United', with tales about the club over the last century.
Captain Liam Cooper gives an exclusive interview, before we look back at our recent games against Huddersfield Towna and Hull City along with finding out what has been happening on social media and on our away trips.
The programme contains the lowdown on opponents Cardiff, with regular columnist Tom 'I'd Radebe Leeds' Bradley providing the view from the opposition and Ben Scott looking back at a previous meeting.
There are also columns from Whites legend Peter Lorimer and BBC Radio Leeds’ Adam Pope. The Leeds United Supporters Club and Winston the White bring you the view from the fans.
We also have news from the Leeds United Foundation, Leeds United Ladies and the Leeds United Academy, before rounding off with all the regular stats, fixtures and tables.
Saturday's matchday programme will be available from our various sellers around the ground and inside the Elland Road Superstore.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Brentford annihilated us for 60 mins and now Neil's got to somehow pick the team up for Leeds away. I think this game will tell us a lot about whether the players are buying into Harris' methods/role.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Morrison, Flint, Bennett; Mendez-Laing, Pack, Vaulks, Ralls, Tomlin; Ward

Mozzer and Flint again as the CB partnership. Slow and slower.

It's a shocking partnership - should be one or the other with these guys.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Great to see Morrison and Ralls back for this big game. Come on City!

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
“Hey Nelson, cheers for stepping in and looking decent, but our other defender is fit now so we’re starting with 2 statues ahead of you today, but yeah thanks is for helping out”
Tragic.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
One winger, what formation will we play? Surely he can't put Ralls or Tomlin out wide? Maybe 4-4-2 but someone has to be on the left. Good to see Vaulks get a start. Also good to see Morrison back but not paired with Flint against a Leeds team who can break with pace. Whyte and Glatzel on the bench. Madine not even in the squad. Ward up front!!!!

Why wouldn’t Tomlin be able to play out wide?

It does. Good to see Ralls and Mozza back, hope they’re fully fit.
Tough afternoon ahead.

Hopefully Nelson has a knock as he's not done a lot wrong since coming in.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Unless he is injured Madine fails to make the squad. Glad to see Glazel is back even as a sub. Huge mistake playing Morrison and Flint together.

Harris said Madine had a back problem at the end of the Brentford game.

According to WoL reporter
Gary Madine loses his race to be fit and is replaced by the returning Robert Glatzel on the bench. Danny Ward keeps his place leading the line.
Alex Smithies and Gavin Whyte both recover from their illnesses midweek to take their places on the bench,

This is a big day for Leeds. With WBA winning and a sold out Elland Rd.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Have it as a 4312 on FlashScores app. But they regularly get our players out of position so I’ll wait and see!
Have it with NML up top..
-
Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Every man and his dog knows that you can't pair Morrison AND Flint together.
Bennett needs to have a strong start and NML needs to keep possession better, if we are to stand any chance of getting something from this game.

Unfortunately I am not pleased to see Morrisson back.
Too slow, cumbersome and, as a result, gives away too many free kicks and even penalties.
I just hope Harris will be looking to bring in a young centre back with more ability on the ball (and a bit of pace).
Keen to see Glatzel get a run in front of Tomlinson.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
There is nothing to indicate that we should win this but I've got a good feeling in my goolies that we will 1-3 to us.

I’m thinking along the same lines, I’m dreading that defensive pairing (didn’t NH click that is possibly one reason we’ve struggled this year and sacked a manager?) but I’m interested to see how we line up as well with those players, if it’s a 4231 with tomlin our wide (more likely) or as they have it on FlashScore with NML up top with ward and Tomlin behind.

Tomlin gives me hope - He's been a class above in fairness. NML up front should be interesting if thats whats happening.

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
They don’t seem to know on the stream yet either how we’ve lined up..they’ve guessed at 433 and 4411 with Ralls our wide..

Re: LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Didn't NML play up front against Birmingham when Ward got red carded? Did well.

I like 4312 so I’d be happy to see us try it.
