Steve Watson hat trick

COYB

 

[Vedder]

It's defo not just a must not lose game but a must win game. Need a fast start to settle the crowd down and get behind the time otherwise the nervy atmosphere will get to them

 

[zaitken]

I don't think I can bear the thought of us losing today. It simply must not happen.

What's so disheartening is we hope for a response every week and none comes then our best players in defence get crocked we are in a world of trouble.

Big, big day blues.

Let’s hope Lampard can start a bit of a run to get us to safety.

I’d take a draw just to break the losing mentality, but a win would be smashing.

Here we are again, match day. All the negativity has been pushed to one side and the hope has started to build. The expectation that today the players will take it upon themselves to earn the vast amounts of money they are paid and produce a preformance that will transport us back to the days of the Holy Trinity. Today the Scohool of Science will run rings around a hapless Leeds United and then Frank will slip the Dogs of War to complete the utter destruction of the Lilywhites. Today is the day we see a smile playing across Richcharlson's face as he taps in to complete his hat trick. Today is the day we see Coleman carried from the field of play shoulder high after he rolls back the years to produce a scintillating display making run after run and giving DCL a headache with the number of times he hits him on the head with crosses. Today is the day that Gordon comes of age bamboozelling defenders with his direct running and finishing, today is the day that Holgate steps up strong and proud to be the rock that the Leeds attack flounders on, today we see him fulfill his potential to masterly stride out of defence with the ball at his feet and hit 40 yard diagonals to the feet of our on rushing attack. Today DvdB produces a Dutch master class of pinpoint passing, splitting the Leeds defence with surgical accuracy, his golden locks flowing as he rules over all he sees. Today Frank Lampart produces the game plan of all game plans, today is the day it all gels, today is the day that Kenwright comes out and tells everyone that this was his master plan, today he tells us that he knew this day would come, today is the day he buys every supporter one of Betty's hot pots to celebrate the coming together of his dream.
Is this to much to ask ?

Want to see some intensity and fight today if nothing else. We’ve more than enough quality going forward to score a couple. If we get right into them and get the fans onside, we’ll beat them. Though we need whoever is up against Raphinha to have a blinder.

He'll no doubt score a toey from outside the box out of nothing. As usual.

A draw wouldn't be the end of the world when you think about the teams we are now competing with near the bottom.

Always gets his customary goal against us, we have to score at least 2 today to win, I suspect 3.

Nervous to the core about today. I must be channelling my inner Michael Keane.
