Leeds make the 200 mile trip down the M1 to face Reading at the Majeski Stadium on Tuesday evening, 72 hours after the grueling win at Ashton Gate!

Similarly, promotion rivals Norwich have an extra 48 hours to recuperate having beaten Swansea City on Friday night, and not due to play (Carrow Rd v Hull) until Wednesday evening!

Hardly seems fair!

With Roofe still sidelined for the foreseeable future, Bielsa will be sweating over the fitness of Patrick Bamford!

Saturday's goal hero collided with the goal post as he guided the ball into the net, picking up an impact injury.

Bielsa persevered with Bamford until the hour mark, when he was substituted for Dallas.

In the post most presser Bielsa admitted he kept Bamford on the pitch though it was evident the striker was nowhere near 100 percent as he did not have a suitable replacement.

Bamford will undergo scans on Monday, but hopes to be fit to face Reading.

If he is unable to participate, surely Brown will start?

On a positive note from Saturday, Berardi, Douglas and Dallas got more game time.

Reading will be full of confidence having recorded back to back victories against Ipswich and Wigan, climbing to 19th place in the table!

It would be stating the obvious that we have Bamford injury free till end of season. If we get into the international break in top two I’ll be happy.

We all know that every game is going to be tough regardless of the sides we play and where they sit in the league. Reading are fighting relegation so they'll be up for it. We certainly must not lose.

Don't think Brown will start (beginning to think that Bielsa doesn't rate him) if Bamford is out (which I suspect he will be, doesn't strike me as one to push through the pain barrier). Think he will go with Harrison left, Dallas on the right ahead of Ayling, Roberts up top with Pablo at 10.

Reading made life pretty tough for us at Elland Road... and we needed a last minute penalty save to get the points.

Won’t be easy. It seldom is.

Strangely Derby and West Brom (2nd game obviously) are the only ones I can remember blowing away

Would be typical Leeds to lose this, but then smash Sheffield United next weekend and end up two points ahead of them again!

Realistically we need to be winning this. Reading may be on the back of two wins, but they've both been against poor, relegation-threatened sides. Even if Bamford isn't fit, I'd still fancy us to win this fairly comfortably.

I do hope Lewis Baker doesn't decide to start playing football.

Good Morning to Matt and co from wet Bardsey
I think that the next 2 games will define our season win both and we will gain automatic promotion lose and we will be playing catch up with Sheff
I think we have got 10 cup finals to play but so have Norwich and Sheff so its the ones that stay focus who will win
The Sheff game tonight againstBrentford will not be easy as Brentford showed against Boro they are no easy teams in this league I they were well worth there win

My barber watches Brentford, they are back in very good form, as they were at start of season.

Well here we go again and I am going to keep
With a season that has had more up's than downs I have come to the conclusion that Mr Bielsa has one hell of a lot more knowledge of football than little old me apart from which all the heady hights of the season are not doing my blood pressure any good.
MOT ALAW

I assumed we were only on the red button tonight but I’ve just noticed we’re on channel 407 Sky Sports Action HD

Good evening from Majorca im an hour in front is it half time yet.

Saw that earlier, didn't even know that channel existed. Could be better than the red button as I think you can record and pause it.

Might even have action replays and more than one camera which would be a bonus

Bet you’re having better weather than us

We were advertised as being on the red button a couple of days ago so I think this is a late decision, I’m hoping too that we have different angles and replays, we can definitely pause it
