So any result/ scorelines for tomorrow 's home game vs Norwich
Leeds will definitely need to play better than they did against Preston.
Norwich have won their previous 3 matches ( 2 of those away) and I am a bit nervous, an early Leeds United goal would be most welcome.
I am hoping for a strong Leeds performance under the lights ( clean sheet please)
Leeds 2 Norwich 0 ( Dan the Man first goalscorer)

Could be a tricky one, but if we win and then beat Bristol City, we would go second, albeit for only a day maybe, unless I have missed something!

I agred it will be a ' tricky one ' LUFCfeath. so your prediction is a Leeds narrow win, draw.?

I know you like to think easy games exist in the Championship Baz, but I’m sorry to inform you there aren’t any. Beating 5 nil or whatever thrashing you thought we might bestow on little ol’ Preston, that my friend was never going to happen against a team that play the way they do.
Equally beating Norwich 2 nil is very generous and a little over ambitious don’t you think? We only just beat them last time all be it at their gaff, but this will be no easy walkover, even at Elland rd.
I agree scoring that early goal for us is paramount.
I expect to see no changes from the Preston game to play.

My main worry is Rowe up against Gray as he gave him a torrid time until he gassed the second half and got subbed. Hopefully, having made subtle tactical changes to combat the same scenario against Millar in the game just gone, we do the same with Rowe.
Winnable game here. My guess is Norwich will try and attack and leave us space, especially in transition.
23 Jan 2024 16:52:19
Let's look on the optimistic side - one of these days, given the amount of chances we create, we will hand out an enormous thumping to someone. Why not against Norwich? It's going to happen sooner or later!
I'm going to go mad and say 4-0 (wanted to go for 5-0 but that would be too much:) ) ) )
23 Jan 2024 17:18:29
I will take a win of any sort, in every game from now on! Battling, schooling, showboating, thrashing, fluke, whatever! Just show me the 3 points!
23 Jan 2024 17:25:29
OP wrong and illogical again
Preston have been thrashed / throughly beaten plenty of times this season including recently
Such as ;
Preston 1 Watford 5
Middlesbrough 4 vs Preston 0
Preston 0 vs West Brom 4
Leicester 3 vs Preston 0
All of those teams are in your opinion worse than Leeds so it's wholly illogical of you OP to suggest that Leeds thrashing Preston ' was never going to happen " ?
Even Norwich have been thrashed this season
Plymouth 6 vs Norwich 2.

Well, again, I think this will be a harder game than Preston. Norwich are a better side then Preston, showing a bit of form and will have had a longer rest than us. we also put a lot of work into beating Preston.
My heart hopes for a narrow win, but my head says a draw.
23 Jan 2024 18:40:26
Baz, I will go for another 2 - 1. Although I hope we will be 4 up at half time!
23 Jan 2024 20:03:39
Hope so LUFCfeath ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️.

Ipswich have done well this season.
We have battered them twice, no?
It’s not so straight forward as saying “they did this, we should do that”.
We made them tractors look defunct, but they are still there. Why has everyone else not done the same?
23 Jan 2024 20:33:14
Addendum. Logic does not exist in the Championship.
23 Jan 2024 21:15:34
Imo Norwich will set up to defend and hit us on the counter. Could be a tough game.
{Ed025's Note - it will be Alf..
23 Jan 2024 21:19:21
Indeed Bright…they beat WBA, we didn’t. They took points off Southampton, we didn’t.
It’s the “beauty” of the championship…essentially no result is assured and any result, any weekend is possible.
23 Jan 2024 21:22:10
Very true, Bright.
23 Jan 2024 21:35:44
Think we will win 3-1 two goals for bam bam, but as previously stated Rowe is the danger, his stats are excellent and better than most in the league and I’m amazed he’s not been targeted by a lower epl side.
Won’t be easy, no games are in this league but 3-1 err 3-2 err we will win definitely errr….
{Ed025's Note - 1-1 for me Co92..
24 Jan 2024 06:43:41
I'll be happy with 3 points, however they may come. 1-0, 2-1, whatever. Just as long as we start hitting a better conversion rate with our shots.
