Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off Saturday 5.45pm. Live on BBC Iplayer & Talksport 2
Welcome to the FA Cup 3rd round matchday thread and a real Yorkshire derby.
Team News
Leeds
Darlow will start, Piroe knee problem, Wober a doubt and Bamford is injured once again. Firpo, Gruev and Struijk are all back in training but not sure if any will be included in the squad.
Harrogate
have a host of injuries.Missing Taylor, Nto, Morby, Foulds, Gibson, Thomson and captain and ex Leeds trainee Falkingham.
A dream tie for the visitors who 10 years ago were playing in the Northern Premier league.They are currently lying 4th from the bottom of league 2 with just 1 win in the last eight games mainly due to an extensive injury list.
Our cup record against lower league teams is worse than appalling but surely we can't c*ck up this one especially at home. Expect a few changes (but hopefully not too many) Cannot see anything but a comfortable win. Going 3.0.
Over to the best supporters on 606 with your score predictions and
line ups

If Farke can nurture Mateo, bring him along based on tonight, I change my mind, we won't need a #9 this
window. Just flippin' bring him along. Coach him up.

I actually thought joseph had a really good game today, was big, strong, could have have kept a couple of shots down.
But a real handful

Think it says how bad Meslier has been that Darlow has just been steady not made any stupid mistakes and done the basics well and now basicaly has to start
^^^
This.
If Farke ram rods Meslier back in,
Farke needs to fck off. He's not thinking
about LUFC. He's all about his ego.

You can see he's got the skills, but he should have taken a valium with a nice drop of Beaujolais before the game, just to take the edge off. I'm sure Betty had something in the pantry.

Bit weird Guilovogi at cb. Thought he was a bit poor. Schmidt did the basics okay but didn't really push for a starting place. You get the impression with Joseph if he gets a goal they'll start coming. Just not confident yet in front of goal.

Big lad at the back lovely fella but slower than me,

He really didn’t.
Ok he kept a clean sheet but still had a flap or two. He looks pretty small too.
Is he capable of playing out from the back? We never saw that yesterday but it’s a massive thing in Farke’s game. Only he will know if he trusts him enough.
He's ok, even sound, but I’m not sure he will get the nod.
If he does then good luck to him.

He reminded me of Phil Masinga - gangly but sort of got the job done. We left him a bit too exposed at times though but he coped well.
