Play each player in a position that plays to their strengths, play a simple strategy which all the players understand and try not to be too conservative. Also don't listen to the people who say 451 is appropriate to ensure we aren't defensively exposed. We have lost so many games using that system including Wolves away and Notts Forest away. Why would today be any different?

 

I hope you read this and trust that you will "Taylor" your formation accordingly (no pun intended, I sincerely promise).

 

Kind regards

Oh god this is Barnsley territory 

Not sure what you mean, only to say that I have no affiliation with Barnsley or any other northern based club. As a relative newbie to this community I'm afraid that many OTIB references go straight over my head, forgive my ignorance

Barnsley fans were appealing to LJ to go 4-4-2 after their run of defeats... hence the "Barnsley territory"

Thanks for the clarification, it sounds as if they were onto something

I think I posted something similar on the 'team for Derby thread'. I would bet good money that he will start with 1 up front. If / when he does, I hope that that 1 is not Tammy. I love him but it just doesn't work for him or for us.

If he goes with the 1 up top it would need to be Milan. In any case, whatever formation he starts with, it will change several times during the afternoon.

Barnsley fans were apparently screaming out for 442 before he left, heard it again and again by all the Tykes on here.

Does anyone know if the Leeds game will be on BCFC player, considering it's being beamed back therefore we have a live feed of the game. You'd think it would make sense to put it on player as well. 

Yea i am pretty sure they cover every game on player

Edit : my bad i thought you meant radio commentary, yea a live video feed would be great

Yep. Radio commentary on every game but as you say no live stream. That's a real shame but I guess there contracts and rights why live away games can't be shown.

It is unlikely to happen as, I believe, the EFL have the rights to any footage and dont therefore allow it so, unless there is some ground breaking change in policy, no!

Well its about bloody time these "rights issues" were sorted out, its 2017 and i have to listen to away games on the bleedin wireless, i wouldnt mind paying extra per game.

Sky Sports pay a not insignificant fee for these rights.

We do not have the rights to broadcast live video, just live audio.

From 2017/18 onwards this changes for live video, but only for users outside UK and Ireland.

Hope that explains the situation.

Good day everyone,

In 2001, Leeds United were playing in the semi-final of the Champions League. Now it is synonymous with greed, mismanagement and chaos on and off the pitch. Longtime (and long-suffering) fan Richard Benson charts the rise, fall and fall even further of his hometown team. Apparently people in Leeds are chummy and open so opines Richard Benson again. A guard on the mainline train north, as it thunders through Leeds announces that "Yes, Manchester United has the Theatre of Dreams," and, pausing for effect, "While Leeds... has the comedy Playhouse." That is Benson's account of a journey by train to Leeds but frankly, while it sounds like it fits the bill, I doubt a train guard would announce such a thing unless he does not feel confident of coming to work the following morning, something of course many a Leeds manager has experienced.

From Ridsdale's dash for fame in the Champions League to the folly of an Italian owner sacking managers more often than we change the dish water. Leeds fans have suffered more than most. But you know what they say; you deserve the government or the owner you end up with or is that a little unfair? Financial mismanagement on such gargantuan scale has gone down in folklore as 'Doing a Leeds'. Maybe there is something in the air in Yorkshire or is it just the fair city of Leeds? Well, it is certainly not just Leeds United for Leeds City were expelled from the football league in the early 20th century for financial irregularities. Leeds United were soon voted in though and so the city had a league team again. Not a lot happened for Leeds United until, of course, Don Revie appeared in 1961. Revie was perhaps to Leeds as Ferguson was to United or, probably more accurately, as Clough was to Forest. Nothing had happened to Forest or Leeds before their heroes arrived. We have spoken of those playing heroes of Leeds before all of the names now in folklore and a few, such as Cooper and Hunter, even graced a City shirt. True greats of the game.

The dash for millions came and went and another team have delusions of grandeur, like Forest. A city of not too distant a population as ours down here in the fair south west still waiting for our era in the sun.

And so here we find ourselves soon to kick off a match with an unbeaten run of 3 matches behind us and the calls for Lee J to go dimming by the day. Can City continue their unbeaten run and thwart the now upwardly mobile Cellini owned, Monk managed Leeds? 

Hope you all enjoy the match today. Leeds has some fine hostelries if you do not. UTC

Thank you Hav for kicking things off so well as per usual.

Well done everyone making the trip to Leeds today.

I started a thread yesterday reminiscing about one of my best ever City moments as on 19th February 1974 I was one of of the 47,182. Who else witnessed this remarkable event? Which is captured brilliantly here: http://www.mightyleeds.co.uk/matches/19740219.htm

Forty three years on, almost to the day, and I have not experienced many such special moments as a City fan!  I remember our win at Elland Road being a headline on the BBC national news and all over the front pages of the papers the next day.

I was just 17 and when we scored (Donnie Gillies 73rd minute) I went completely berserk and nobody, absolutely nobody, anywhere near me moved.....the young, naive boyhood me suddenly realised I was surrounded by thousands of Leeds fans!

Be great to hear other memories of this famous win and equally good for us to repeat it tonight.

Yes, I was there too. Having just moved oop north, I managed to cancel all my appointments that day and experienced the same thing as Jerseybean. Thought for a moment I was going to be lynched. I was also at City's last win (?) at Elland Road in 1977

I was there also and suffered the same exhilarating/frightening experience of cheering when we scored.

The mainly adult fans near me simply looked/stared daggers, although the walk back to the supporters club coaches was pretty hair-raising - hundreds of irate Leeds fans looking for City fans of any age and a 'friendly' local PC, when asked if he would accompany us to the coaches for our safety, just swore and said it was our own fault for coming.

I do remember a comment following the draw a few days earlier from the late Don Revie (or was it Bill Shankly?) saying that he was looking forward to another Liverpool/Leeds clash in the next round.

There have been many top players who have played for both clubs , Mann, Taylor , Jordan and Hunter to name but four .

The spirit that Revie instilled into his teams was one of ' No surrender ' and winning at all costs . This didn't make him or his teams popular with the opposition or the media .

What I wouldn't give to have a half of that formidable self belief for our club .

Which City will turn up , the foppish ' After you Claudes ' or the hungry fighters and chancers who for 60 minutes against a top Derby side looked like World beaters ? 

I  am hoping that unlike a young lover on Valentine's Day we are mean and focused solely on the love of Bristol City and the desire to give our magnificent support something to cheer about as we ascend the table .

I fancy us for a draw if they haven't left everything at Pride Park or a dismal loss if they are washed out from their efforts .

Over to you LJ and chaps .

Do us proud .

Do we know how many are traveling? The fans at Derby were amazing, totally out sung the Derby fans right till the end. I'm sure they'll be as amazing again today, do we know how many are traveling?

Around 250 tickets sold. POTD is available, but it's £5.00 extra.

Back to OP. LUFC now owned 50/50 by Radrizzani and Cellino. Cellino banned for 12 months from end of this week.

Here is a list of players that have played for both clubs, hoping Ayling does not haunt us tonight with a M of the M performance!

Leeds don't draw many games and have scored less than us. They've lost their last two games I believe, so are they in the start of a dip? 

I think it will be a close game and to be honest I think we could win if we learn quickly from Derby. Although I'd take a draw, 1-0 either-way is my guess.

Sat right on the fence then.

Saw the home game in 1974 when Keith Fear scored and listened to the replay at Elland Road where Gillies scored the winner.  I even taped the recording which I think was regular reports rather than a commentary.  One of my greatest moments supporting City.

Tonights prediction is that we will be 2 - 0 up at half time and lose 3 - 2.

Wonder if is he gonna make any changes to a back four that let in 3 goals in 25 minutes last week and has been haemorrhaging goals all season. If Leeds start like Derby finished, we are toast.

I was there with my Dad and he claimed that the twenty minutes from the goal to final whistle was the longest twenty minutes of his life. I agreed with him. My late wife was there at her first ever football match and she asked me what had happened when Donnie scored, Oh, the naivety of some.

Time to find some backbone lads,  do it for us fans, and yourselves. You're more than good enough, time to start pulling up those bootstraps and restore some pride.

It's Leeds, that's the only team talk you need, play 90 like you did the 1st 45 at Derby and lets smash them.

Leeds friend said recently they just havnt clicked and lots of trepidation at home games because of recent success, and fans demanding wins. Said Cardiff came with plan to be solid at start, get crowd against home team and pressurise high up pitch. Said City counter attack style would suit away result, also said defence is shaky with pontius who was sick at weekend and not expected to play tonight. 

He said cliche but does depend a lot on first goal

They do which makes it all the more bewildering that i cannot somehow pay them to watch my team live. So it will be available next season but not if you live in the UK, utterly ridiculous and will make people break the law to view it. I dont think its much to ask, it needs sorting out.

I'm counting on you lot to night because Mrs Isewater has prepared a ' soirée ' truffles at Isewater acres and it may appear impolite if I hook up to the net for the match whilst our friends fill their faces . 

I will let her off this gross error this once because she suffers enough just being married to me .

It's the last minute of extra time and City are hanging on to a 2-2 draw. Luke Ayling sets off on a mazy run into the City penalty area beating 5 defenders, which leads to the winning goal. 

 

(He loses possession and leaves a gap in the Leeds defence, which Joe Bryan exploits to cross to Djuric to score from 5 yards)

went there in the late 60's (cant remember exact year) and Gary Sprake was sent off after an altercation with Chris Garland. We were in the away end and it became infiltrated with some Leeds yobbos intent on causing problems, twas a bit scary but it came to nothing.
