Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
Kick off 12.30, Live on Sky Sports
Welcome to matchday 35 and another early kick off this time at home
Team News
Leeds
Ampadu out and may need surgery , Wober out until the end of March.
West Brom
Missing Wallace, Maja and Ajayi, Bartley returns after suspension and Grant should be fit to start.
Only line up conundrum will be who partners Tanaka. Also a space for one more on the subs bench.
West Brom under the very likeable Tony Mobray have 3 wins and a draw in their last 6 games and whilst sitting in 5th place are only 4 points ahead of Middlesbrough in 11th.
Last time we played them it was a very underwhelming 0.0. Going 3.1 home win this time.
Over to the best supporters on 606 with your score predictions and
line ups.
Can we go Live once again please Admin

Unbelievably seeing a bit of panic on social media. No need for it, 3 points clear of 2nd with goal difference making it effectively 4.
West Brom are a far better side than they were earlier in the season & they were well up for it today.
Bit of an anti-climactic feel to it today after the drama of the last 2 games. My only quibble with Farke was not giving Ramazani a chance.
Over a week now to recover. No need for any panic, that's 17 unbeaten now.

We felt the loss of Ampadu today. He gives us so much control in the midfield.

He’s played twice in over a year in midfield 🤷🏻♂️

Still think you can say you miss a player of his quality in midfield. He’s our best player in the middle. Not as cb.
Doesn’t mean we would have won though and obviously with Ampadu we we will still drop points anyway.
All the evidence says we are by far the best team in the league with or without Ampadu. Ampadu will pretty much alway make us better.
Doesn’t matter how good you are as a team you will drop points.
I would be amazed if we aren’t confirmed as champions before last game of the season.
I will bet £10k with anyone that thinks otherwise if they fancy it?

Much as I like Rothwell I think he struggles when we don’t have the ball. First half we were schooled in midfield. Fortunately Farke sorted it at the break and Tanaka stopped playing like the third centre back and pushed forward more.
I thought we looked a bit jaded, which is not surprising given the last two games where the players have given their all to get results. I guess it takes it out of them and us!
Last twenty we were all over them but they still had one great breakaway that Rodon managed to smother.
Draw a fair result I think.
Now hopefully a couple of days relaxation for them and five days training for Pompey.
