More lies from the Daily Mail, calling Gayle a striker! ;)

Leeds have no centre backs, nufc have no strikers. The stoppable object meets the movable force...

Leeds have no centre backs = Bruce sets us up with 5 at the back to defend for 90 mins.

This is the game to go for them, Cooper is s**** and Ayling isn't a CB but will likely have to play there.

Can't wait to lose 3-0 <urgh>

Well if there’s any self respect and unity within the Toon team then tonight is the night to deliver a victory. Leeds really are a weakened unit tonight but tbh we are missing a few.
However fail to win tonight and it should be utterly untenable for Bruce. I’d take his sacking and promote Jones in the interim.
All in all it really feels like a Hobson’s dilemma type of a fixture tonight.
A win gets us continuation of this s*** show but a defeat kind of anchors the team at the bottom and forlorn, even then though will that even spark a change, very questionable.

I’ll be drinking heavily either way, that’s a certainty 🙃

Back to back away games coming up too, Watford and Wolves.

Imagine we win tonight then beat Watford, Bruce will be safe for the season on the back of top 6 form like that <laugh>

Same here.

It is a sign of how uninvested I am in the club these days that I didn't know we were playing tonight or which team we were playing this weekend. Whereas I used to know the ins and outs of our fixtures two or three months ahead.

Can see tonight turning very nasty if we end up going behind by a couple of goals and losing. I have lost interest within the club I grew up watching and loving because of how poor and dire we’ve become. I’m going to be fascinated to see what these protests turn out to be and how they escalate. Fairly sure Sky will be licking there lips at the prospect of a toxic atmosphere tonight. No doubt Bruce will be hailed as doing a fantastic job and our expectations are unrealistic….

I only know as I’m into my fantasy football so keep a close eye on fixtures. It’s a sign of how uninterested I am that I’ll be quite happy if Raphina scores tonight…

I am actually starting to think that maybe Bruce is trying to get fired.

This may sound mildly masochistic but if anyone has a link to a decent stream then I'd be grateful.
