Morning all🌞.

Thanks for the MDT Earl👍. So, in a previous thread I predicted a 4-0 win for us 😱 … tongue-in-cheek maybe but I’ve gotta stick by it now and who knows?, we’re due to give someone a right tonking someday😁. DJ brace, Piroe and Rodon bullet header🤣👍.

It’s hard to see beyond three points, with the chance to try a change of formation or personnel. Three at the back looked great in the pre-season. Oh, wait a minute, it’s Farke we’re talking about.
I’m looking forward to catching up with some Derby posters, such as Wicklow Ram. It was lively banter for a while, but this is a different Derby to previous versions. The likes of Mount and Willson are plying their trade elsewhere and Derby’s defence will need to patch up a few leaks if their last couple of outings, against Swansea and the Owls, are anything to go by. They’ll have to work hard to pull the wool over our eyes.
That said, it will be closer than many of us would like. We were well beaten by Blackburn last week, and Farke did not sound like he had learned much from that game.
I am expecting a double-decker to be parked in front of the Derby goal, but our pace will hurt them. A brace for Joel and a late bounce off Bamford’s left nipple will allow us to sigh a breath of relief. 3-0 to he mighty Whites.

PS Thanks for posting early, Earl

3 or 4 - 0... fancy us to swarm them to be honest, think we'll be way too strong

Your going to have to try to sell this too me.

With a squad full good wingers, why would you restrict that wing play by going three at the back.

We didnt play well, but we at least deserved a point.

This game is gonna be played right in the middle of a massive storm with 50+ mph winds. Will be a real leveller if it is. Will the match even be playable?

That is a very good point

Could be messy with this ad weather closing in at noon tomorrow, plus Byram and Firpo missing worries me - maybe Wober will help. Wish Archie Gray (or Madeley !!) was there. Difficult result to predict.

Hate those early kickoffs !! 14:00 would be better !

Nothing less than a win is acceptable. Should be too strong for them. 2 nil, get the job done

Hoping for a Middlesbrough victory at Burnley this evening

It's amazing to think it's 5 and a half years since that heartbreaking night...still very fresh in my memory and I'm sure most of us on here too but even though we beat them at their place the following season it's 4 and a half years later that we're renewing old rivalries so I think it's
only fair the Elland Road Leeds fans get to witness the
boys finally put away a decent percentage of the many
chances they create and we wallop Derby 5 nil.

Little worried about the weather but I'll keep it positive and go 3-0.
Aaronson hat trick.

You would have to hope we get a reaction after losing away.

Would love to see a proper drubbing given to Derby, I'm still bitter about the playoffs

Sounds like the worst weather is mid afternoon onwards so hopefully it might not be too bad when we play

Thought tonights game would be desperately bad, but enjoying it

A draw would be good. 1-1 as I type.

Tomorrow might not happen yet. Fan safety has to come first but my guess is TV will expect the game to go ahead. It’s going to be brutal if the winds hit 50mph.

Was a decent game to be fair and a draw is ok for us.

Hopefully the storm is not as bad as predicted. Was supposed to have hit northern ireland by now but its still very calm.

Put some ice on it, the swelling will go down. Paracetamol will fix the headache

Everton v Liverpool game off

Storm overnight has been the worst I've seen in a long time and still really bad here in NI, must have our game in some doubt

even more games postponed now

Looking at the wind speed in Leeds right now according to BBC weather it's not too bad 19kmh but by kick off its predicted to be reaching a high of 40kmh but dropping to 30kmh by around 2 pm onwards so fans travelling home it's not too bad compared to Liverpool Cardif and Plymouth it's consistently above 50kmh and why those games were postponed for public safety..

LIW, Blackburn hit the post and missed two sitters in the second half. Just how often did their keeper have to make a save?
You are right about not changing what's working at Elland Road.

Just had a look to see what the wind speed was at the Burnley game last night which went ahead but at times looked gusty and it was a high of 30kmh so I'd say our match which by kick off will be significantly windier than that for an hour and a half at least is 50/50 depending on police advice I suppose.

Live 10 miles from ground, hardly any wind at the minute, so think the game will be on.

Woke up feeling absolutely rotten, so my seven year old lad is going instead, with my dad and his mum.

Come on Leeds 👊👊👊👊
