00:00Rooney coming again to Ellen Rhodes with a Plymouth team that looks particularly porous
00:10at the back. They've conceded the second most in the division. I did a piece earlier this
00:16week on just the sort of the sheer magnitude of the numbers of their sort of expected goals
00:22against the fact that they concede quite frequently shots on the counter. Basically everything
00:28that would play into Leeds' hands, it does feel an awful lot like a foregone conclusion.
00:36And yes, while I've had countless people in my replies going, well, remember the Wigan
00:41game? Yes, I do remember the Wigan game, but surely that is the exception that proves the
00:46rule because how many more of those games have we had in the last five or six years
00:51or however long it's been? None, pretty much, because of how anomalous that result was
00:59and that game was. Again, I just think Leeds have too much quality. I think they can hit
01:04them on the break. I think they can hit them with build-up. Junior Firpo being back into
01:09the starting 11, you're going to see him going underlapping, overlapping, lots of touches
01:14in the box. I just think it's, yeah, it feels a lot like last season when we were building
01:22up to the Huddersfield game at Elland Road. That was around the same time, end of October.
01:27And I think it was that when Leeds were 4-0 up at halftime. Yeah, I think it could be.
01:32I'm going to go with four. I'm being optimistic.
