Leeds United (H) League 1 Saturday 15/12/07.
Form Guide Leeds last 6 league game.
Carlisle - away - lost 1-3
Bournemouth - away - won 3-1
Swindon - home - won 2-1
Cheltenham - away - lost 0-1
Port Vale - home - won 3-0
Huddersfield - home -won 4-0.
Had it not been for the 15 points deduction Leeds would be a massive 13 points clear at the top of league , 15 wins 2 draws 2 defeat is an excellent achievement at any level , as things stand Leeds are in 5th position just 4 points ahead of us.
Prediction . heart says home win - head says draw.
Walsall 1 - 1 Leeds United .
Carlisle - away - lost 1-3
Bournemouth - away - won 3-1
Swindon - home - won 2-1
Cheltenham - away - lost 0-1
Port Vale - home - won 3-0
Huddersfield - home -won 4-0.

I just hope that the players and Wise underestimate our resilience and determination to get a result. Looking at the table and our form, they shouldn't, but a team 'robbed' of its 'rightful place' in the Premiership may think they only have to turn up against a side newly promoted from League Two.
After all, they lost at Cheltenham - albeit it strange circumstances.

I know, I know, it was a LONG time ago :oops: (hint - Bobby Collins was on their side)
I remember those two games, too (14/4/62 and 27/10/62 - BOTH 1-1 draws). Some little squirt called Billy Bremner was on the right wing and a giraffe called Jack Charlton played up front (alongside Peacock?). Did John Charles play in central defence, in one of those games?

I reckon we'll score and keep another clean sheet in the process. 1-0 home win for me.
Beckford and Kandol started the season on fire but having seen them a couple of times recently, I think we should be able to handle them.
The key battles will take place in midfield where we have to make sure they don't walk all over us because I fancy our strikers to get a few decent chances.

I think Leeds will over-run us in Midfield but our defence will be on it's top form for this match. We could do with a bit of the same luck we've had recently with opposing strikers missing golden chances. Kandol seems to be a striker who can score goals for fun but I'm hoping not against us!
I'd take a draw right now but I predict a cautious 1-0 win, Fox for the goal.

I agree. I think it will be a lot better than many posters on here think.

I would LOVE to see the mighty Saddlers beat the squinty eyed little runt's lot. Nothing would give
me more pleasure than to see Leeds beaten by an overhead kick from the mighty Mooney, but
lets face it, it ain't gonna happen. We will end up 'just another scalp' in thier rush to the league title. :cry:
Why? Cheltenham 1 Leeds 0 Enough said.

I certainly think it will be 10k plus. Interestigly, Bristol Rovers, Brighton, Carlisle and Cheltenham have had either 'sell-outs' or near 'sell-outs' for the visit of Leeds so far. Oldham, Tranmere, Gillingham and Forest were nowhere near. I'm not sure what the significance is of that, but we do not have a devine right to expect a capacity crowd.
As people keep telling me, this is Walsall after all :wink:.

Heart says win for us head says Leeds.
Really hope we win Leeds I dislike with a passion.
Denise Wise
Ken Bates
Some of their fans who live in a 70's time warp
Them crying when they had their 15pt deduction (never heard them moan when paying millions for Ferdinand ect.)
Just a nasty club but I suppose they'll get 3pts Saturday.

Leeds are flying despite their hiccups since Poyet's departure. One thing they won't do is miss chances like Forest did so it will be very tough.
However if we can perform like we have recently and get a bit more like I don't see why we can't get a draw or even a win. Lets just stay unbeated with winnable games against Millwall and Vale coming up.
