Good Morning Everyone,

Leeds make the long trip down to Berkshire for the tea time kick off at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday.

Typically from the International break, the divisions top scorer Chris Wood is doubtful having picked up a knock playing for the Kiwi's.

It is contradicted by Michael Burgess (New Zealand's equivalent of Phil Hay who said the following :-

No problems with @officialcwood #AllWhites coach Anthony Hudson confirms that Wood released as precaution only. @NZ_Football @nzheraldsport



It will be interesting to see if Monk decides to play Jansson having dropped him for disciplinary purposes.

With eight games left to play Jansson is just two yellow cards away from a two match ban. Surely having solidified a safe position in the play offs, Monk will want our star defender to get these out of the way as he should be our first or second name on the team sheet?

Agree?


Ayling will be back having served his two match ban for reaching 10 yellows, but if Monk decides that Jansson still deserves to serve punishment from the sidelines, our pony tailed friend could at least slot into centre back with Taylor at left back and Berardi at right back!



Should Wood be sidelined, I'd love to see Pedraza holding the front line, probably with Doukara.

Thoughts?

 

TWO votes each this week

 

its an hour up the road for you, are you coming to the game. Will buy you a beer.

 

Fair play to you matey, I'm working pal.

Next time give me a bit of notice and I'll be there....

 

I suspect you are just another that wont take a drink with me!

 

Morning all, I have a feeling Jansson will be back in the starting 11 Ayling, Berardi, Taylor, that's a tricky one to call. I wouldn't question any 2 from the 3

I'm hoping Wood is fine, if not then it's going to be a hard for me to see us winning this one.

 

Would put Jansson back in,Ayling back in and probably Berardi depending how he is with bookings.

 

IF we make the playoff final, I'm hoping Taylor doesn't play unless he signs a new contract. Burn him out before then, save bookings for Ayling and Berardi, I don't care as long as we drop him for the final. Not that I'm bitter of course...

 

Been looking forward to this one for a while, a weekend in the smoke is always good and we haven't had a decent one this season yet.

I imagine Pontus will be back....lets hope he doesn't forget to acknowledge the fans again

I would rest Wood if he's got a knock, but he will have a few days to get over that so he might be ok.

1-1 would be my guess

 

I'm going so it'll be a Leeds victory, always is when I watch away games

 

Just as well because I'm at Preston game next week and, by the same logic, you can expect a bad result

No need to thank me if you bet on this inside info

 

You want to meet Marcos and me for a beer pre or after the Preston game?

 

Cos I wld matey...

 

Sorry can't do at Preston game, as trying to fit in too many things already (family live in Leeds)

If you are at Reading let me know

 

Am at Reading but on a hospitality day! Don't know how it will pan out.. but getting off staright after the game as booked into Dartford Hilton as going to Brands hatch on Sunday @BTCC

 

Good God, how many more rejections can Glory take in one day. Susan Boyle wouldnt get as many

 

Evidently M4 closures around Jct 12 and 14 on Saturday...... from Lufc twatter page

Thank fook for that. Its a pain in the arse having to wear a cagoole when having beers.
