You've neglected to mention that Charlton also got relegated from Football League Division One that season. Basically, in terms of omens, this match is a pessimist's fantasy.Sage said:Leeds United v Charlton Athletic
Wednesday 22 July | Kick-Off: 19.30pm (Live on Valley Pass)
Previous Result: Charlton Athletic 1-0 Leeds United
Referee: Geoff Eltringham (County Durham) - Previously Officiated Charlton: Huddersfield (A)
- The last time Leeds United won the Second Division/The Championship was back in 1990. Incredibly, that was also the last time Liverpool won the First Division, up until this year.
This season has been so painful, and this relegation would be the most painful I've experienced.
I'm too young to remember 1990, but there were reasons to feel positive about the future with the two relegations from the Premier League (although that was obviously misguided the second time).
When we went down to League One the first time, we had months to prepare for it, and a load of new grounds to look forward to visiting.
The second trip to League One had a sense of inevitability about it, and there was the misplaced hope that failure might force Roland towards a quick sale.
This time around, we'll be able to point to a multitude of missed chances and last minutes goals conceded that make this relegation feel like a bitter injustice, coupled with the off the pitch turmoil meaning that a drop to League 1 will result in a club that nobody wants to buy, that doesn't own its stadium (or training ground), Bowyer will go, any players with an ounce of talent will go, and we'll be lucky if we've still got a club to support during depressing defeats against the likes of Accrington Stanley and Rochdale.
Fully expecting utter misery on Wednesday.
Barnsley - my ex is from there, and I was born there myself due to my dad selfishly taking a job up there shortly before I was born. For my entire life, it will be listed as my birthplace on my passport, giving immigration officers in even the most impoverished parts of the world something to have a chuckle at.
Therefore: 94 minutes played - Charlton are safe. 96 minutes played - Charlton are down. We let one in, Ollie Watkins scores a spectacular own goal at from the halfway line Griffin Park. Barnsley are safe at our expense.
Prepare for tears.

Although I'm a miserable sod and recovering pessimist I can't fail to notice that since the news that probably feck all is going to happen this side of fecking never to Wigan /Sheffy and Derby that the mood has swung to negative thoughts...just shows how the people in charge of our beautiful game can really feck you over... Complete basterds!1

Leeds’ record league win is 8-0 and I think they’ll surpass that.
Their record attendance is 57,892 and I also think that will be beaten, helped by an army of away numbers.4 -

Leeds may have beaten Wayne Rooney's Derby on Sunday, but Derby have been very poor recently and had nothing to play for. A "fancied" team missing the playoffs is unlikely to have been very motivated, whereas we will be. I expect the game to be tight as a result
I hope we keep the same formation and as much of the side that played Wigan as possible3 -
If we get anything from this game, I'm going down to Sparrows late night and hope the team comes back.
Can't have heroes coming back without a welcome party.
With my luck, they will be staying up there

I don’t want to see Hemed. I’ve seen enough of him this season. Davison to start for me and Aneke to come on at some point. I think we can win this. I keep remembering Reza’s goal winning this one for us in 2014. COYR!!

I'm hoping the Leeds players are still in the pub. Nice and hungover come Wednesday

I just hope our players have learnt a lesson over the past few games.
1. When opposition shoots from long range, the defence to get as near to Dillon as possible in case he knocks it away instead of catching it and get there before the opposition
2. When opposition strikers get near the goal line awaiting a pass, get between them and the goal line
3.Do not play with the ball in your own penalty area, if no clear pass on, just boot it up field, we do not need lovely passing in this game.
4. CB do not stand next to each other when defending marking one player
5. LB do not make too many subs in one go, it disrupts our play
If anyone can think of any more, I would be interested1 -
8 games at Elland Road since they last beat us. 3 wins and 5 draws.0

Leeds 4 - Charlton 00

Can't see Leeds taking this game lightly and although they played yesterday , they were back in training this morning . I would keep the same team that played Wigan ,injuries permitting . Exactly the sort of game we have thrived on during my time supporting Charlton makes me hopeful of getting something from this .0

I'm hoping that maybe some of the staff or players read these threads. If so I would really like to thank you all for your commitment and efforts through what can only be described as a total mess of ownership the last few months. Whatever happens on Wednesday no supporter can in my opinion make a case that all of you have not given 100% throughout. For that I thank you.
Although another massive effort and an unexpected win would be great 😂6 -
I think we will lose but so will Barnsley at Brentford and Wigan will draw with Fulham.1

I know my comment the other day was similar to Lyle Taylor's decision to not play for usSage said:

But its why I question if Leeds players will be fully up for the game on Wednesday - Why go full blooded into tackles when you could be blowing your chance at the Premier League in just a few weeks?
Being out for that length of time you have to wonder even if Berardi's chance has gone as Leeds will need to find a new Centre-Back etc.1 -
Leeds 1 Charlton 0 but we will be saved (hopefully) by Wigan & Barnsley failing to beat Fulham and Brentford respectfully.0

You're right about that. There's no way he will recover and be able to get up to Bielsa levels of fitness anytime before the start of 21/22.ForeverAddickted said:

Will be in Tenerife when this game is going on, was planning to watch this on mobile but think I'll just look at the scores after the games have long finished. Even then, it's becoming increasingly clear that come 22.15 on Wednesday, we're not likely to be any the wiser about whether we've survived or not.
It's been mentioned already but Sunday was likely a harsh lesson for Leeds players that trying to end the season on a high could come at serious personal cost. We showed enough fight against Wigan and hopefully can take that same spirit to Elland Road to get it over the line.

Having been at both relegation battles at St Andrews in 87 & Stamford Bridge in 88, I think this game is going to match those two for tension/nerves/anxiety. It’s not going to be pretty but I hope the 16 players give their all & make us proud - regardless of the outcome.

The thought of missing the start of PL season WILL be on their minds, however professional they try to be, especially as the turnaround is so short. The 5% drop in commitment is something we can hopefully use to our advantageForeverAddickted said:

It's about time we got another lucky result too. Since the restart we haven't had the rub of the green, whether the bounce of the ball or 50/50 penalty decisions.

But then we have to wait and twiddle our thumbs for any appeal to be rejected as if they won that then we'd be relegated0 -
