Looking forward to this one. First goal will be crucial. Just as it was at Elland Rd. We cannot afford to give a sloppy one away. No idea what the scoreline will be. I expect us to be the better side, have more of the ball, and territory. It will be about whether or not they can hurt us in transition or from set pieces. And how creative we can be against a very good defence.
Also looking forward to huge over reaction from our fans whichever way the result goes. Lose and we will have no chance of promotion, we will be 8 players and a manager short of what we need and 49ers can f off.
Win and we will be in Europe by 2027.
Of course it's normal to do this, everyone does it. It's football. But it's still something to laugh at ourselves about.

Kick off 8pm btw
---------------------------------------------------
Cheers. Checked it and seen it was 8pm and still put the wrong time on.
1 - 0 Leeds or a 1-1..
either way, a decent result for us
Anyone know which ref's officiating tonight?
Have a feeling that might determine things.
Playing with house money tonight regardless.
Should be a cracking game.

Josh Smith, all the info in the link above.
Batty, they always say on the Leeds site who the officials are!..
https://www.leedsunited.com/en/news/burnley-match-officials-announced-24-25-a
"Games (all competitions): 24
Yellow cards issued: 97
Red cards issued: 1"
Er, ouch!.
He'll more than likely get his 100+ tonight!..
Tough one. They come at us and we will score. They will sit back and waste time like at ER and hope for a chance or two.
Horrible team and a manager who just seems too smug to me. Not sure why I don’t like him but for some reason I don’t.
1-0 James.

Yup he’s got one of them shiitt eating grins
Earl I aways look forward to your weekly post...but I'm now being picky, and fussy like Victor Meldrew - can you show the match involved accordingly, meaning like this evening's can you show it as 'Burnley v Leeds Utd' as opposed to 'Leeds v Burnley' as we're playing away to avoid confusion. Up to you !!
I guess its safe to say this is a big game. Certainly a big statement game, but only if we win.
I'm going 0-2 put some daylight between us and the pretenders.

Some folk would ask Highlandwhite the same question and he responded with his usual humour that Leeds always come first whether home or away.
I've just followed that tradition although I understand it may be confusing.
I would like us to bring Joseph and Firpo into the starting 11 for Piroe and Byram.
Suspect it will be the same as Norwich though
I think we may cancel each other out and so I'm sitting on the fence and going for a nil nil which after all the lead up hype as the game of the season these games are often a let down. Burnley 0 Leeds 0
If we get the first goal, I think we win comfortably.
Afternoon all🌞 and thanks for the MDT Earl👍.
So then, here we go and after a weekend of fantastic results for us, this is our next chance to put some air between us and the chasing pack. I’m going for a 0-1, Aaronson screamer at left-edge of the box, on his right foot and into the top right-hand corner of the onion bag😁👍.
Onion bag, er, Eric?..
This is going to be a very hard game, but that means for both sides, but hard games are what sorts the big boys out and I think we should have a bit more confidence in our players, they know as well as anyone what has to be done and they'll be fired up for a hard game!..
Each game at a time and not winning won't end our season!..

Yep, 3 points would be fab, 1 would be fine and a loss wouldn’t be a disaster imho.
Btw, ‘Onion bag’-gate😁, no not me. Sorry to disappoint 😂
Sorry to disappoint, no, no problem, its just when I see Onion bag Eric springs out and everything goes his way!..
At least that's how he thought!.
More pressure on Buuurrrnla' than on us , which is nice
Tricky to call this one. Got numerous scenarios running through my head, mostly Leeds wins though 😅
Its not a must win 6 pointer, not yet. Our home form is brutal and will carry us through the rest of this season, irrespective of the result tonight.
