Bit earlier this week and a trip to the midlands for the Travelling Faithful
Hopefully we can pay the brummies back for the defeat earlier in the season at ER , although as usual the opposition will be well up for our visit.

Match Facts
Birmingham are looking to complete a league double over Leeds for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
Leeds haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last 10 away league visits to Birmingham (W3 D1 L6) since a goalless draw in November 1988.
Birmingham could become the first side to complete a league double over Leeds this season, having won 2-1 at Elland Road.
Leeds striker Patrick Bamford has found the net in all three league starts against Birmingham, scoring twice with Middlesbrough and once with Derby.
Birmingham manager Garry Monk has only won one of his seven league matches against teams he's formerly managed (W1 D2 L4), but it came at
Elland Road against Leeds earlier this season.
Leeds have lost 21 of their last 28 away league matches in April (W4 D3) - though two of their four wins have been against Birmingham (in 2014 and 2016).
Every game a Cup Final now, we need to keep the momentum and the pressure on the other teams as we come to the run in, this could be a tough one so i'm going for a 1-2 Scoreline with Alioski and Pablo scoring, although if Roofey gets a chance I can see him adding another

Just watching Lewandoski demolish Dortmund. Why wasn't he born in Pudsey?

Ultimately, we do good business in jan we’re up, 1 player in and relying on Brown was just not enough.

Sheff Utd signed Madine, Hogan and Dowell and have kept the forwards hungry and fresh.
We on the other hand were forced to play Bamford despite him being out for a long time and have had a bench with no striker on it for weeks.

Why people on here communicate with Igor Rampard is beyond me.

Largely agree. But we had a real prospect signing & at ER for a medical only for his own club to feck everyone around. We desperately miss someone who has pace & carries a constant threat. Dallas doesn’t, good pro but doesn’t give a wow when coming off the bench & Harrison has underwhelmed more often than not.
Balls into the box today were crap.

I stopped a long time ago and just ignore his worthless comments. He displays a low level of intelligence and adds little or no value to any thread, merely getting his perverse kicks from believing he has a wealth of wind up techniques. Just ignore the sad Derby khunt.

It was his jokey references to what happened in turkey that saddened me. He possibly got a short term ban for that, I’m not sure because he went quiet for a while but I’ve seen Leeds fans openly discussing with the bell ender plenty of times.

Wasn’t long ago people begging for Bramford because roofe wasn’t a clinical striker, despite not missing many chances all season.
Bamford missed more chances than any other striker i can remember for leeds
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As much as I like Roofe, I was one of those who believed Bamford was a much more clinical striker with a better killer instinct.
He just hasn’t proven that to be correct.

Igor isn't a horrible person. Sometimes we say things that we regret. I know I've done it before.
He knows his football too, even if he is Irish.
