For no apparent reason I've just watched the 20 mins extended highlights from last year's home game against Leeds, which finished 2-2 (although we missed a penalty). Observations...

1. We were bloody fantastic in that game. Breaking with great pace and skill - very exciting to watch. We should have won, even discounting the penalty. That was great football to watch.

2. Will Buckley when on song is amazing. It's too easy to forget what he can do.

3. CMS - see above. We miss him. A lot.

4. Gus - passionate and involved lifts the crowd.

5. We should have won about 7-2.

6. We owe Leeds a beating at the Amex. Roll on Tuesday (even though we still lack 1-4 above).

Should have won the season before too, from 0-2 to 3-2 and conceded late to draw. We owe them a good doing and I'm looking forward to a comprehensive win on Tuesday evening. 3-0 to the good guys, with Ulloa scoring 2 with his confidence restored.

Pro: They've not got Diouf...a petulant child masquerading as a footballer.

Con: They've still got Michael Brown: a petulant child masquerading as a footballer.

I'd love it if we stuff them.

And they still have Ross McCormack... A brilliant championship striker

Remember both home AMEX games against Leeds.

Both fantastic games, and we should have won both especially last season. We battered them for most of the game. The current team does seem dull by comparison, but we are currently missing the pace of Buckley very badly. CMS would also add that if he came back the same player.

I'm on the fence for Tuesday. Our defence looks rocky at the moment and McCormack is on fire.

Could be another high scoring match. Hopefully 3-2 to us.

Michael Brown is a horrible individual, one of those people who make you wonder how he ever made a career as a footballer.

Don't forget that a biased referee cost us up at Elland Road first game of the season. Hopefully we can pick the ball up on the halfway line and throw it in to the net and it count

He made a mistake. He's not biased, FFS, any more than that tool we had against Bournemouth wanted to give them something.

You're right about CMS and Buckley. Personally I cannot wait until they're both back in the team! They will be a real asset to the team come the last 10 games of the season.

He should have been sent off last season. Already booked, he then upended an Albion player (can't remember who) on the edge of the box and should have received a second yellow then but got a last warning instead. He then scored the equaliser.

You're right about CMS and Buckley. Personally I cannot wait until they're both back in the team! They will be a real asset to the team come the last 10 games of the season.

Buckley tore them to pieces in that game last year. There was one absolutely ridiculous moment when, breaking down the right, he chipped the ball over their left back playing, essentially, a pass to himself. The defender had a 3-4 yard head start on Buckley but still beat him comprehensively.

Remember that moment well Bozza. Buckley has pulled that trick off a few times.

To be fair you could be talking about most draws/losses under Gus there.

It's a poor quality GIF, but it's the second link in my signature.
