Firstly, if someone else was down to do this then just delete mine.
Secondly, for Newbies - What is a Matchday Thread (MDT).
It's a place to discuss the upcoming game and comment during the game, also a place for the creator to list all the famous people that were born in the place that our opponents come from.
Thirdly, I really fancy that lass that hosts the darts. I'm watching her now.
Well we need to win this one after the terrible week we've had. I thought we would beat Ipswich and then lose the 2 away games as I think we are too one dimensional and a bit mentally weak.
I hope Struijk is back but I doubt he will be risked, which is probably for the best.
I'm really looking forward to the 15 minute Bamford cameo, it has to be one of the best displays of sporting excellence in world sport.

I'm going for a nervy 2-1 win and heap more pressure on Wayne ( Luke Littler's dad).
Pirouette and rutter to score
Come on Leeds
Ps when I post this it will likely ask me if I'm a human by asking me to tick a box saying I'm not a robot. Ticking a box saying you're not a robot doesn't prove that you're a human. You could be a dog or a trout or an alien.
Weather forecast to follow, maybe.
Tragic news after the game.
Wayne Rooney to be sacked after defeat to Leeds....
Give me true width and crosses into the box from said width and the game opens up and hey presto goals came.
missed the game as I was halfway between Ireland and Canada.
How did Firpo look?
Delighted for BamBam to notch.will do his confidence a great deal of good.
Great result today and just what was needed. Heard a few murmurings on The Square Ball podcast that a few people have been questioning whether Farke was the man for the job or not. I would say it's ludicrous to even consider changing him based on what he has done so far.
Pleased for Bamford to get a goal today, he runs the line well and presses the defence which is what Farke wants. Rutter does this role equally as well, but he is much more influential in that deeper role we saw him in today. Piroe doesn't have the natural attributes to play the striker role that Farke wants. He may find himself being forced out of the starting line up, as a fit Bamfords allows Rutter to play the 10 role where he clearly excelled today.
Hard to judge how this line up worked really. Birmingham were so poor we could have nearly just picked 11 players and done a raffle for who played where.
Great to see Bamford score, great to have another option up top, possibly a better option.
Good results for us today, I just wish we had won one of the 2 away games.
you've earned it 😊
Thamk You M'Lord...............MOT
Congrats M'Lud, nice to see Bamford score, Rutter tremendous, Birmingham sh1te....Tata Wayne😁
Missed the game (family dinner) but glad with a clear 3-0 win.
Important for Klaesson to finally get his start and that he kept a clean sheet.
Bamford, chuffed for him (is this the start of his road to recovery).
Next game more important, rather than the result to give those 2 and a couple of others the chance to start and/or get more game time.
Two up half time.
Wearing white instead of that awful salmon pink kit making a huge difference
Byram off firpo on, we look poor so far
A very changed line-up. Is Farke panicking, or a genius? Come on Leeds. MOT
10c to 1c. Possible rain.
Come on Leeds!!!!.
Need a win for positivity. Bought my LUFC matchday pass to watch the game live. Only £10 but well worth it
Some fans calling for Farke's head is absolutely stupid, honestly???. He has a proven record of promotion and a style of play that when all the players can be ars*d has shown that we can wipe the floor with anyone. I would though add some comments to this.
I can see a dangerous trait of relying on the same group of players to perform week in, week out. This eventually was one of Bielsa's faults in that players coming in, could not fill the roles of the players they were replacing, simply because the squad was not rotated enough to give them sufficient game time, so when they came on, generally with about 15 mins or less, they could not change the destiny of the game. Unlike Bielsa's team, I think that we have a decent 2nd string but they need to be givem match time to perform ( I hasten to add that I do not include Bambi in this).
Secondly, it is clear that some teams are just going to defend at any cost and our response seems to be crab football around the area until they get bored an give us an opening. We have simply got to be better at picking a pass to unlock this type of play, otherwise we are going to lose more than we win.
Finally, I am still at a loss why we purchased a prolific goal scorer for Swansea but insist on playing him somewhere in midfield? Rutter will not score goals but is up front?? Maybe someone can explain.
good luck Snoddy.
4-1 Piroex2 James & Byram
Darlow

Best of luck M'Lord - at least you got yours published.....
I believe you'll get a bit of a run going starting with this lot. Some rumours about Farke getting the bullet on the clickbait sites - bit early for that IMHO, but as you said he's starting to burn the goodwill and that's football.
You are spot on about the darts lady.
Leeds 2-0 Brum
Well, good luck My Lord Snodgrass.
Dare say I like to see a 3 man midfield and a 3 man front line with a 3 man CB and 2 wide player. Will not happen but like to see the following.
Klaesson
Cresswell, Rondon, Cooper
Spence, Ampadu, Gray, Kamara, Firpo
Summerville, Piroe, Rutter
Quality MDT Lord Windywilly and good luck for a prolonged run.... we need it after the last 2 fkn performances.
I'd love to see Anthony get a whole game and think he'd be more consistent than just running blindly into the defenders. He'd offer more cover tracking back as well....
Summerville on the other side and RUTTER BEHIND PIROE as it's now PROVEN that it DOESN'T FKN WORK!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I'm going for a positive 1-0 victory with Luke Littler notching....
