Any win at Leeds is a good win, just because they are down on numbers due to injuries and on the back of a dreadful start doesn't mean they can't turn us over. Contined refocusing, prep like it's a do or die game and try to cut out the headless chicken moments that give the opposition chances to score and thus hope/confidence. Really not confident with this one, we have the team, the coach is doing the right things right now and getting us winning if not spectacularly. If that continues Friday and we sneak a one point win then that's another W in the column.
In normal circumstances you would say rain is good for us given our size advantage, but Leeds attack has looked so disjointed that it probably helps them.

Another potential banana skin. Play like we have done and we'll do them, just need to view them as a wounded predator because they'll look a lot more like Leeds of 2015 if we let them get any sort of a roll on.

Not sure a potential loss to the treble holders can be considered a 'banana skin' no matter how poor their current form. Especially given our record there.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Agreed, I'd have it down as our best chance for a long time to turn them over, but we mustn't be complacent, but Radford seems to have addressed that in recent games.

Maybe not a 'Banana Skin' but currently it is a games like this we should not be losing if we are wanting to be a team that challenges at the top. Huddersfield was a test of the character and a game we would have lost previously.
Leeds are still a dangerous team even with the injuries they have but its a game we should win if we play for 80mins. Its wouldn't devastation if we were to lose at Leeds but it would be a massive chance missed to beat them, further build a winning character and habit within the club.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
