Saturday, by a street, is the most difficult of Leeds’ remaining fixtures at Elland Road.

Didn't need to write anymore than this! :wink:

Virgs is generally good - got this one wrong with inadequate preparation. Our relative away form (2nd in League) is far better then Newcastle's relative home form (7th)

We have 32 points from 18 away games - 1.78 pts per game
Newcastle have 35 points from 18 home games - 1.94 pts per game

Sorry, missing the comparison?

Previous poster was saying that 'our relative away form (2nd in League) is far better than Newcastle's relative home form (7th)'.

Clearly that's true in table position terms, but not on a points per game basis. It's particularly relevant since they have one more home game than us, and we have one more away game than them.

Obviously the last few away games is a worry. Even at Rotherham, the worst team in the league could have been ahead at half time.

I am glad as everyone here that we got the job done 2nd half though.

Just think, if we didn't have that GLARING weakness we'd already be CHAMPIONS.

Yes, yes, but what is Leeds Achilles heel? Please tell as AV...

The fact there are queues for HUNDREDS of miles outside bellend road every match day?

So he's noticed that our away form is not as good as our home form and the trick therefore is for teams to play us on their own ground.

Being a pundit is dead easy innit?

Not having AV as their manager.

I think that you are all being harsh on AV who has more knowledge about football in general and our team in particular than all of the posters on NSC added together.

Reckon our achilles heel this season is going off the boil after an international break. Three out of three so far isn't it? So unless we've sharpened up our act, we'll under-perform v Blackburn at the Amex on the Saturday and take all three points v Birmingham at the Amex the following Tuesday.

4th Sept International - followed by defeat at home to Brentford

8th and 11th Oct Internationals - followed by 2-2 draw at home to Preston

11th & 15th Nov Internationals - followed by 1-1 draw at home to Aston Villa

It's not brilliant but it's not drastically bad either.

Time to break the mould against Blackburn then

I have never met the man but I do get up tight with some of the keyboard warriors who wouldnt recognize a football if it hit them in the face but it is seen to be big to slate people who do .

Surely, Leeds Achilles heel is that, although they are the eternal "champions of Europe", they currently play in the Championship, which is clearly beneath them, their management, players and, most of all, their fans?

TBF I like Adam, have met him more than once, but I don't think this is his finest moment...

The point though was clearly made regarding league position, not points earned
