Must win!
In all fairness - jokes aside, if we are aiming for playoffs - after yesterday, it is.
This will not be a tight affair. Leeds can't play like that.
Honestly don't think we'll be able to cope with their pace.
It will be a game where we will get chances, and if we don't take them, we'll lose.

I can see some Robins Roulette. Maybe something strange like a 5 in midfield?

MVE Thomas Kitch Bidwell
Sheaf Eccles
COH Palmer
Wright Simms

Go at em, they'll play football, against teams that play we're as good as anybody.

Alternatively remove wright and play Torp, pack the midfield, scrape a 1-0. Either way we do em

MVE and Bidwell would get doubled up and absolutely rinsed in that formation against Leeds IMO.

Genuinely think he might do something like Dasilva at left mid to play a 451 (Torp/Eccles/Sheaf) midfield. Or even Eccles wide right, O'Hare in the middle.
Yeah it’s going to change. Double up on Summerville. Nullify that threat and we have a genuine chance of beating them.

Yep I can see it being something like

Collins
Lati – Thomas – Kitching – Bidwell
MVE – Eccles – Sheaf – Dasilva
O’Hare
Simms

SBT to lose it’s collective shit and declare it game lost at 2.01pm, only for us to scrape a late 1-0 win.

On balance I wouldn't even be too unhappy with that, as long as he's prepared to make aggressive subs.

Yeah. Might need a little out of the box thinking to try and catch Leeds out.

Gutted that we missed the opportunity yesterday to close the gap on Norwich, especially as our other rivals for the 6th spot, all lost. Hey ho.

Need to win this one. I think we need 4 or 6 points from this one and Southampton to have a shot at that 6th place. If we get at least 4, I'd be happy.

League performance of the season needed...

Hopefully Ipswich can do us a favour Saturday but their record in the Derby against Norwich at Carrow Road makes for grim reading

Think if we go for it we get battered, cagey game with one goal in it either way. So I’m going 1-1.

I see no reason we can't win this game. We just beat Wolves, why would we be scared of Leeds? yes last two games have been leggy but we will be back on it Saturday.

Brilliant, shite, clueless, fabulous win, season over, still a bit of a chance, we're going up, baby.

Something along the lines of that.

Anyway. 2-1 to the City.

So, it's the baby one for me.
On here, all of those at varying times of the game

There's plenty of reasons why we might not win the game, not least that they are better than us and we don't have a big enough squad for all these matches. But we could win, and as you say they aren't as good as Wolves.
