    Good Morning Everyone,


    Let's have a look at tonight's game!

    It's fair to say the defence and the forward(s) pick themselves, but who would you play in midfield?




    How many points do you see?

    Fulham (A)
    QPR (H)
    Brighton (H)
    Reading (A)
    Brentford (A)
    PNE (H)
    Newcastle (A)
    Wolves (H)
    Burton (A)
    Norwich (H)
    Wigan (A)




    West Ham have all but sealed £10million signing Kevin Malcuit.

    What relevance has that to Leeds Utd?

    Well, the St Etienne right-back will push Sam Byram further down the pecking order.

    Hands up, who'd take Byram back, and if so at what cost?

    Leeds United defender Giuseppe Bellusci will not return to Elland Road following the completion of his year-long loan spell in Serie A this summer, according to his agent Michelangelo Minieri.

    The 27-year-old centre-back is currently plying his trade at Empoli – after Garry Monk allowed the out-of-favour man to join the Italian side in July last year following the signing of Kyle Bartley from Swansea City.

    Morning all, I wouldn't take Byram back, I wasn't his biggest fan.

    For me Bridcutt O'Kane Pedrazza, Hernandez, Roofe but I have a feeling it will be Dallas or Doukara out of position wide right.

    Points wise really hard to say, we pick up 3 when I expect 1 and then drop 3 when I felt it was a certain win.

    I think we need at least draws against Reading and Fulham tonight, I think a total of 5 to 6 points from the away games, 10 points at home?

    We haven't played well for a couple of games now, quite poor actually, carry that on and a defeat is surely round the corner, we need to up our game tonight, Pedrazza starting might give them a bit of added sparkle

    Morning ristac, seems Monk has a thing for Doukara. I'd like to see Pedrazza start too, looks like the lad has good skills and an eye for goal. I just hope Monk does not go too defensive..

    Morning Elland and all. I see 33 points there, we wont get them all of course. Am I right? Do I get a prize? I dont want Byram or any other ex players back, theyre not good enough. Snoddy is the exception. Looked decent last night against PL leaders in the few bits I watched.

    Byram over Ayling? Not for me <ok>

    About 20 points up there I reckon

    Morning all, real tough one tonight, if we come away with 3 points I will be confident weve at least made the play offs, even if we lose these bunch of lads seem to bounce back well enough but I would take a draw right now.

    End the season on 90 points. Brighton would still probably get to 91. Newcastle will be a few ahead of that too!

    I see 18 points as very achievable from that list and that is more than enough.
    Fulham (A) 0
    QPR (H) 3
    Brighton (H) 0
    Reading (A) 1
    Brentford (A) 3
    PNE (H) 3
    Newcastle (A) 0
    Wolves (H) 1
    Burton (A) 3
    Norwich (H) 1
    Wigan (A) 3

    Afternoon all.

    So the old question about former players comes up again. I can honestly say that out of those still playing I can think of only 3 I would have back and could improve our squad.

    Snodgrass
    Delph
    Miller.
