It’s going to be an emotional charged game, that’s for sure. Leeds will come out the blocks fired up!! So we’ve just got to be prepared to weather that storm, not concede, and then start to have the confidence to get on the ball and look for the spaces behind their midfield and defence.
Mavididi and Fatawu need to be on it, they’re the ones going to get the space to cause damage.
I’ve been thinking about why I’m so concerned about Leeds, and I think for me, it’s the fact that at times I’m games we can be caught in possession in dangerous areas of the pitch. Normally we get away with it due to the lack of quality in the league, which shouldn’t be dismissed, because there really is a significant lack of quality at times. My fear for Friday is we get caught early and end up conceding an early goal, the first half an hour is going to be pivotal.
People ask why some of us are so nervy, because excluding maths, the title is more or less ours. I also think a win would be a major confidence boost and then and we will probably just steam roll the rest of the season. Lose, and I worry it could have the opposite impact.
I just want us to win, go out there and prove we are the best, and not be our own worst enemy and allow the occasion to get to us.
