Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ==================================================
Kick off 3.00pm, No live feeds as yet
Welcome to Matchday thread 12 and a tough away trip to Norwich where manager Daniel Farke will receive a very warm welcome from both sets of supporters.
Team news
LEEDS
Shackleton and Gnonto return to an ever increasing fit squad with and news that Firpo, Dallas and Spence are only a few weeks away from returning to action. With another 3 games in a week we will need this big squad.
NORWICH CITY
Missing 2 key players Josh Sargent and the obnoxious diving tw4t Ashley Barnes, otherwise a full squad to pick from.
Norwich lie just 2 points behind us but are not in great form with only 7 points in the last 6 games.
My prediction a tight 2.1 win.
Over to you all for predictions and line ups and finally in the customary manner.
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Was always possible we could get something from the game, still had a bit to do but it was on the cards we could get a point at least, some of the stuff on social media at HT was better than reading the Beano,

We had loads of chances in first too

Stunning win.
Shame about Leicester though

I notice Lowfields has gone quiet again! Brilliant comeback today. I feared it was going to be another Southampton, but the joy was all the better for coming from 2-0 down.

Look it was a good result in the end but how poor are we at defending particularly at set pieces. This isn't a one off it happens game in game out and once again fear for us at Stoke

Why Stoke? They are a low to mid-table team with poor to average home form having lost three out of their last four home games. I suppose you can point to who they lost to Preston, Hull and Southampton and yesterday's win against Sunderland but I don't see anything to be too concerned about.
Seems quite a negative post in light of our recent form.

Why Stoke ?
One of our bogey teams, I remember going back in the 80s and losing 6-2 then 7-2 the following year. Also our record defeat 8-1 was by them. Plus the fact that we find any team difficult to defend against.

Also ended our 29 match unbeaten run in 73/74

We have a very good record against Stoke having played them 95 times in the league and cups down the years of which we have won 47, lost 30 and drawn 18. We have won 18 at their ground compared to their 21. I would like to play them every week.

You might want to dwell on happier times like the last time we played them, beating them 5 zip, but I am guessing that it's not in your nature to look on the bright side of things.
You might want to add fuel to argument by pointing out that we lost 4-0 in our first ever meeting with them back in 1920.
