Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
FA cup 4th round, Kick off 3pm. No Live feeds
Leeds in the 4th round of the FA cup and at home, 2 things you don't see very often.
Team news
LEEDS
Struijk, James and Gray all injured, Gnonto and Cresswell will be available
PLYMOUTH
on loan midfielder Darko Gyabi is not eligible to play against his parent club, while Alfie Devine and Adam Forshaw are both cup-tied after playing for Port Vale and Norwich City respectively earlier in the FA cup this season.
League form goes out the window. Plymouth will field their strongest team so will Farke as he understands winning breeds confidence. Will be tough but we're at home and are in great form.
Going for a 2.1 victory, probably coming from behind again and wrecking our nerves
Over to you all for pre match thoughts and predictions.
Can we go Live once again please Admins ,
Leeds Utd 1 Plymouth Argyle 1

Yes Outwood I've just seen that. I should have known better to believe the click bait bs on newsnow but it was on Facebook aswell and seemed legit which it looks not to be the case. Maybe the earlier rumour I posted about the Polish Liverpool 20 year old who can play rb and midfield will turn out to be true????

Villa or Chelsea away if we beat Plymouth so for me I'd play 11 reserves/ not usual first team starters against Plymouth and bow out quietly instead of getting smashed in round 5 but I'm sure a lot of Leeds fans will disagree and expect us to win the cup.

Was hoping we'd get Giles at LB. Looks he's off
to Hull. They're starting to look like a serious threat.

Manuel Benson looking like he's off to Southampton.
Guess they like Football Manager. Strengthens an
already top squad. We are losing ground at the moment.

Don't get why he can't get in to the Burnley side? Not as if they are any good. Alarm bells are ringing with him

I think after seeing how profligate we were yesterday, we could do with another Striker because Piroe isn't the answer playing with Rutter, only injury prone Bamford can play that role and if he gets crocked we'll be in deep brown stuff so for me an experienced goal scorer is required before the window closes aswell as a RB and LB so I hope behind the scenes The heirarchy are close to clinching these new signings we desperately need....Im not arsssed about the FA Cup, it's a distraction we don't need.

Tore the championship up last season.
I get the feeling Kompany is in fire drill mode
trying to stay up. He might feel Benson's
a luxury. When he needs grit and steel.
Not sure? I do know he was last season's
Summerville. If Southampton do get him,
then they have improved their squad.

Being half Welsh, I'm hoping still there's some
validity to the Welsh connection re signings.
Kiefer Moore would solve goals option. Doubt
he'll come to us even though I think he'd be
a very good addition.
Connor Roberts I'd take for sure. Good player
and has that element of sh ! t housery to him.
Mepham and Brooks same thing. What the hell.
Wales United for me. Two of those names can
help us no end.

I agree Batts, I wouldn't say no to Keifer Moore or Connor Roberts or this Benson fella but there's a lot on here who would turn their nose up at Moore especially but similar to Chris Wood he's a big target man with a good goal scoring record in the Championship and would at least give us that option off the bench especially for games like yesterday.
