Really struggling to work out what our midfield and attack are going to be tonight. Got to believe that TH12 won't start. Surely the Ox must. Who will be CF? DM? Not at all obvious.
Am in the front row of Block 7 for only my second game of the season. If TH comes on at the end and scores a last gasp winner, I might get to touch the hem of the great God!

Only banannaskin (fa cup bingo) that I can see is they have a young lad (andros townsend) on loan from the y**s who sees this game as his cup final and will probably go and score a wonder goal against us as all the young unknown scum seem to do nowadays.
Should be a good un, and lets get the job done 1st time round this time, although a replay at Elland road would be good for me purely for selfish reasons.
I do hope you're right and thanks for the local "heads up". The only thing I would say is that this game offers Leeds a "no pressure" situation and their players can relax away from the expectations they have in the League.
I really hope we score early because we are so fucking devoid of any ability to stick the ball in the net without RvP, that we really need to settle the nerves and the agitation of the crowd (one of whom will be me !)
when you think of the team he's gonna play tonight you really struggle to see where the goals are gonna come from, I think at best we'll win 1-0 but the 0-0 draw or even 1-0 leeds could well be on!
