Quick on the turnovers with pace to burn- could be a long afternoon

 

[pafc jack]

Not confident. They've got top players, are on a run, and we can't defend for 90 mins nor put together a win away. Could see a three one loss.

I'm sitting in the home end for the first time since Arsenal in the cup, gonna be awful.

 

[NLG]

I have a senior ticket available for this one as I can no longer attend .

PM me if interested, don't want anything for it, just a contribution to Pasoti good causes or a donation to GC wifes cancer treatment.

 

[GreenTommy]

Damage limitation I'm afraid. Defence is not good enough. Sit back and hit on counter is best way this game.

 

[HaroldPWH]

With an expected attendance of circa 36,000 - must be the biggest attendance for a normal league (ignoring play offs) game involving Argyle for quite some time.

Free hit, go all out to get something like we did vs Ipswich. We’ve played better players vs Chelsea and Palace in last 2 years and been in those games. While they will threaten us with a bit of skill and pace , I fancy us to surprise and cause them problems. They’re forum is relaxed looking at 3-1 or 4-0 wins. Time to be the surprise underdogs here. We are over 9-1 to win, I’m putting a fiver on.

 

[Douglas]

36k-anyone know what percentage of gate receipts we get as away team-championship crowds should increase our turnover this season giving us more income

None, although I think away clubs get about 10% from the tickets they sell to their fans.

I agree. We have nothing to lose on this game, may as well play to our strengths and go for it, we play better against teams that come at us as Leeds will because our counter attack is one of the best in the league. Expecting a high scoring one. We will probably be on the wrong end of it, but should be fun.

 

[Fergy]

I would be astounded if we do not conceded 3 or more goals.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

It would be typical Argyle to win. I'll go for 2-1 to us.

 

[Nobby]

I would be astounded if we do not conceded 3 or more goals.

Likewise. My only hope is that Leeds are very capable of self destruction.

Cooper, KKH, Pleggy, Gibson, Mumba, Houghton, Randell, Azaz, Whittaker, Cundle, Waine.

I think we need pace at full back vs Leeds wingers, so Mumba to drop to LB for me rather than Joe playing. Pleggy in for Scarr for additional pace and aggression in the back line. Cundle moving into a wide role to cover Mumba. Not sure C Wright is sharp enough yet for Leeds intense pressing in this one.

 

[mutley marvel]

Play the game- not the occasion
Leeds put 4 past Huddersfield in the 1st half of their last home game - if we concede early doors it will be a rather long afternoon
The Leeds cauldron will be boiling & we just have to be on our game from kick off

 

[Hexagon9]

Cooper, Hazard and Burton in the starting XI.
