Discuss if you want .

I’ve thought for the last few weeks this is the game we will get something to keep him in the job longer, we will create enough against these to sneak a win.

2-1

Leeds on a bad run you say? Oh what could go wrong 

Can't even console myself with the thought that he'll be gone if we lose.

Law of averages says we'll win at some point, hopefully this is the game.

0-3 hopefully! They will run all over us and surely no way we can match their energy!

Be sick as a dog if Bruce flukes a win here. If Saint Maximim is fit and starts there’s a slight chance he will save Bruce here but if not it will be more of the same

His luck has well and truly run out, Leeds need a win and who better than us to play

1-0 to Leeds

We'll get beat to nil, won't threaten their goal at all, and Bruce will say he saw positives and encouraging signs.

We'll scrape a 1-1 draw here. Bruce will claim it as a massive result.

Easy leeds win, 0-2.

Depends how much energy leeds have, got a horrible feeling we will win though.

Had a weekend off so they should be reet.

Struggling to get a shot on target, let alone a goal from open play. A win seems nigh on impossible under this utter fuckwit. Leeds knocked 5 past us a few weeks ago quite comfortably and I think another hiding is on the cards, it's fallen apart and Sat - Tues - Sat - Tues - Sat will finish him off. He can't cope. He's never coped. That's why he's a been a complete failure since he walked into management. He gets sacked or he walks out on clubs if he gets, what he considers to be, a better offer. Absolute shithouse of a human being.

We'll get beat to nil, won't threaten their goal at all, and Bruce will say he saw positives and encouraging signs.

Can quote this in every match thread tbh

We'll get beat to nil, won't threaten their goal at all, and Bruce will say he saw positives and encouraging signs.

"Well wuh canteen's got Kerrygold in now alongside the Lurpak, so when wuh eatin' wuh crumpets wuhv got that bit of choice."

Two-goal defeat, signs of progress.

Please lose.

Has to be more than 3 to have any sort of impact

We'll get beat to nil, won't threaten their goal at all, and Bruce will say he saw positives and encouraging signs.

 

"Well wuh canteen's got Kerrygold in now alongside the Lurpak, so when wuh eatin' wuh crumpets wuhv got that bit of choice."

Moral victory if we get a shot on target tbh

any of their strikers in a drought?

posotives i brought 2 subs on thats encouraging ,get fucked bruce along with the other two shithouses u have with u ,fucking chancer

Leeds 10/11 is my bet of the week

A draw probably.  Might even be 2-2.  Then Bruce will praise the fantastic point gained "and hopefully shut a few people up".  F@ckin idiot!

5-0 to leeds i hope

Hopefully a loss followed by a managerial loss

I watched when Leeds tore Big Sam's West Brom a new one. Fully expect the same here.

1-4. We're going to score coz Leeds are woeful at defending set pieces.

I advise everyone to skip this and tune in for the Milan derby afterwards. Be kind to yourselves.
