Very misty here in Leeds at the moment but forecast to clear by early afternoon. Really looking forward to this now, although I admit to feeling quite nervous. Someone above said we're bang 'in form', well if you call beating the bottom club Chesterfield 0-2 away from home on Tuesday night then yeah, I suppose we are. Except the games leading up to that one were sprinkled with disappointing draws of various kinds. From throwing away a 0-2 lead at Stevenage followed by another (0-3 lead) at Bury and blowing it in the final minute, to being in the lead at home to Rochdale and allowing them to equalise. It really has been a roller coaster since SG took over.
All that said I'm convinced our players are determined enough to not give up on an automatic promotion place. Those of you who are travelling up will no doubt witness the desperation of our crowd if we don't score or look to score early. If the ball's not constantly in your half you'll hear the moans and groans that have become standard at the Galpharm these days, to the point where it divides our fans. I hope to dear God you nothing other than roars of support and approval as that will mean we're playing well.

you might know my mate Steve, www.ayrshiretiger.wordpress.com he loves a bit of footy banter.
Been for a walk from the village where I live on the hill overlooking Brighouse already this morning absolutely brilliant view of the town in the Calder valley and the mist - puts a spring int step Taking my 2 girls for swimming lessons now drop them back at home -train to Hudds pint in Head of Steam then to the Vulcan for a few before 2 hours of purgatory watching hoofball in a morgue
Ill let you know about the rest of my day later tonight
udders can be dodgy at the back so if they go for the open game, it could work in our favour. Having said that I think it might be our first 0-0 of the season. Yorkshire has been good to us this season, lets keep it going. COYR!
Errmm...there are signs that we've tightened up a little in defence but our best form of defence is attack, so yeah...should be a good game. Where we struggle at 'The Pharm' is when teams come to spoil by holding a high back line, crowd midfield and try to play on the break or with the ball over the top. We can actually 'out football' most teams in League One on our day, so lets hope for a good open game and none of that negative tactics none sense. Setting off over to Hudders from Leeds at about 10am. The singing juice awaits! Enjoy!

I've got a feeling we will come with the aim of getting a point. It won't be pretty.
