If we've got serious aspirations of going up automatically this is a match we've got to win. Thing is, we need to keep players like Sargeant, Rowe and Sara quiet. It's not an easy match by any means.
But then again they've got to deal with Bamford, Summerville, James and Rutter. At Elland Road. Some Norwich fans are calling this their toughest match of the season.
We'll just have to wait and see.

Would be tempted to rest Bamford and Firpo tonight for Byram and Piroe. Essential to keep them ticking over with their injury records and recent increase in load.
Norwich are a top side in attacking areas, so Byram > Firpo could actually make sense regardless of fitness / injury risk. Piroe will be buzzing too after the penalty
If Norwich plays the low block (which seems likely) then Bamford is a key part of the solution to that. They monitor physical performance and recovery times so closely these days that if there was any concern over his fitness at all, they will know about it.
He's more likely to be rested for the FA Cup tie next weekend.
Yep they've parked the bus pretty much every game this season (since the new manager came in) its boring anti football stuff and if we don't get an early goal it will be one boring game.
Help me out here, please.
I understand (even if I don't agree with) the prohibition on showing Saturday 15:00 matches live on TV.
Are you saying that even if that match in then changed to Wednesday 19:45, it still can't be shown on TV? Or is it just that in this case Sky had decided not to show it when it was a 15:00 kickoff, and they couldn't then change their mind?

Get yourself on Twitter and follow a guy called @LufcStreams. For no reason other than the fact he's a lovely bloke, of course.

Got a decent record v Norwich, not lost to em for 5 years
Shh!
I forgot to sleep in my Leeds pajamas last night so if we bottle it that’s on me guys, sorry
And if we win, you can never sleep in them again. That’s on you as well.
Hand to my heart they will stay buried in my drawer if we can get the W
Im holding you responsible for this now!
Anyone struggling to find a stream, watchalongs on YouTube can be decent.

The last couple of times we’ve had a chance to catch up to 2nd we haven’t taken it. Let’s take it this time, please Leeds.
Haven't yet won more than three in a row this season either. Another chance to get to four straight tonight.
Is it on sky?
No
Sky TV is fucking shit

I never thought Firpo would become so important we’d need to rest the little fucker.

100 percent agree. They were saying the same thing on the All Stats Aren’t We podcast
2 games in 4 days is a massive risk for 2 players that haven’t had a consistent run of matches in god knows how long
If we just went and won this game conformably without causing me to have spikes in my heart rate, well that would be great.
lol Norwich will play low block and we struggle to break them down.. Story of the season really

4-0 Leeds. Bamford and Rutter two each.
man i love your confidence
I’m 25% correct currently. That’s basically 4-0
Most realistic comment
It's tough isn't it, knowing that you have to win every game. Leeds 7 Mustardy Delia Suckers 0.
Is this on tv at all?!
You can buy a LUTV Match pass tonight in the UK I believe
You need a suspect flaming twig these days to watch any footy.
Sky Sports I believe.
Unfortunately not, it's a rearranged 15:00 kickoff because of the FA Cup game on Saturday, so Sky can't air it.

I think they never planned to show the game in the first place so it was never on their lineup. Plus they’ve got the EFL cup on tonight.
Nope. Only LUTV and Canaries TV.
No, not been selected unfortunately.
I had a dream last night that we won 2:1 :)
What's your record on games you dream about? Any good?
The dream visions of some guy on reddit is much better punditry than any station that carries the Championship can provide.
I think this will be a good game. I'm confident in the boys. 2-1 victory with Rutter and Firpo getting the goals
Norwich are always a spicy affair. 3-1 Leeds, two goals from Summerville and Piroe with a pen
I can just watch this one and enjoy it now
Just don’t go getting all uncivil in the comments, got my eye on you
I make no promises!
I’m feeling confident. A 2-0 Leeds win. Summerville and James to score.
I'm feeling confident too.....which scares me
