so it looks like our usual damp evening at headingley on friday

rain forecast so far

Any win at Leeds is a good win, just because they are down on numbers due to injuries and on the back of a dreadful start doesn't mean they can't turn us over.
Contined refocusing, prep like it's a do or die game and try to cut out the headless chicken moments that give the opposition chances to score and thus hope/confidence.
Really not confident with this one, we have the team, the coach is doing the right things right now and getting us winning if not spectacularly.
If that continues Friday and we sneak a one point win then that's another W in the column.

In normal circumstances you would say rain is good for us given our size advantage, but Leeds attack has looked so disjointed that it probably helps them.

Just remember they beat Saint's a few weeks back. I am cautiously optimistic but won't believe it till the final whistle blow.s

Another potential banana skin. Play like we have done and we'll do them, just need to view them as a wounded predator because they'll look a lot more like Leeds of 2015 if we let them get any sort of a roll on.

Not sure a potential loss to the treble holders can be considered a 'banana skin' no matter how poor their current form. Especially given our record there.

Agreed, I'd have it down as our best chance for a long time to turn them over, but we mustn't be complacent, but Radford seems to have addressed that in recent games.

Maybe not a 'Banana Skin' but currently it is a games like this we should not be losing if we are wanting to be a team that challenges at the top. Huddersfield was a test of the character and a game we would have lost previously.

Leeds are still a dangerous team even with the injuries they have but its a game we should win if we play for 80mins. Its wouldn't devastation if we were to lose at Leeds but it would be a massive chance missed to beat them, further build a winning character and habit within the club.

guess being at the bottom they dont get the top refs anymore to help them out lol

watch all of fc tries get sent to the video ref - aka Robert hicks

Bloody hell, we always get L. Fairbank as time keeper. Sick of him.

Yes, he's the one who keeps doing seventy second minutes.

To be fair, Cobb seems pretty confident in his ability and doesn't rely on the VR as much some appear to.

What's your travelling support been like this season ? I'm surprised at how poor your home crowds have been considering how well your team is playing.

Pretty good.

We'll see on Friday. Our attendances have been great considering the tripe being served up, over 15,000 for our relegation battle with your nearest and dearest a couple of weeks back. Should be a good crowd and decent atmosphere if you bring a few on Friday.

Cool, did they fill the West Terrace? Here are our fans at St Helens , a trip twice as far on a Friday evening.

We'll take more to Leeds than they bring to us. As usual.

I'm confident but not over confident , don't think we can be considering our record against them . Be nice to finally get a win over them , even if it's by a few points . Ok there playing poor with no confidence and have injuries, but it's not a gimmy.

Laura will no doubt be pleased to hear you call HER him

Tell Laura we love her.

Anyone have an idea how many tickets we have sold. I bought 6 on Monday and my son's first trip to leeds away, hoping for a good following and a cracking atmosphere
