Good Morning. It's Monday 24th April, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road
Meslier's howlers sink Leeds
Second half goals from Harry Wilson and Andreas Pereira dented Leeds Utd's survival hopes, recording their 17th loss of their campaign at Craven Cottage, on a day to forget, for Illan Meslier.
To their credit, there wasn't must to choose between the teams in the opening half. Leeds were organised at the back and looked dangerous on the break; they certainly weren't playing like a team that were fighting for their lives. Sadly, as the game progressed, they started to unravel.
Fulham's opening goal came on the hour mark, courtesy of a mistake by Meslier. He misjudged Willian's cross, fingertiping the ball to the back post, where Wilson was waiting. With the Leeds defence frozen to the spot, the former Leeds target was afforded the time to let the ball drop, before half volleying the Cottagers into the lead.
Minutes later, they should have doubled their lead, but the woodwork came to Meslier's aid, as Pereira's free kick cannoned off the cross bar with the Frenchman well and truly beaten. The Brazilian wasn't going to be denied for long, doubling the host's lead with twenty minutes remaining.
This time, is was Robinson's turn to attack down the left flank. His speculative cross should have been collected by Meslier, but he could only palm the ball to the feet of Pereira who had an empty net at their disposal.
It was only at this point that Leeds decided to press, and were rewarded with a goal of their own. Summerville and Roca both had good chances before Bamford's close range shot was turned into his own net by Palhinha with eleven minutes, plus ten minutes of injury time still to play.
You'd think that playing against a team that had lost five of their previous six games, Leeds would have been all over the visitors for the final twenty minutes, but in truth was as disjointed as their clothing attire, or as Phil Hay mentioned in his match report was 'like being savaged by a wheelie bin'.

Adams given leave from rehabilitation to go on holiday
Any slim hopes hopes of seeing Tyler Adams back in action this term have been dashed after the Yorkshire Evening Post revealed that he was given leave from his rehabilitation, to visit Lake Como with his partner earlier this month.
The 24yo has been one of the few success stories at Elland Road this season. His dazzling performances
no nonsense attitude and leadership qualities have already made him a fans favourite. In essence, he comes across as the right kind of person to have in the dressing room, when the chips are down.
It was hoped that the USA International would recover in time to play the last couple of matches of the season, but if the club were happy to put his rehabilitation on the back burner, in favour of a holiday, surely it's been ruled out!

Robles or Meslier
Javi Gracia faces a massive goal keeping dilemma when Leicester City visit Elland Road tomorrow night. It's fair to say that Illan Meslier has had a poor season (by his standards), but his recent displays have cost Leeds dear. The 23yo is obviously short on confidence at the moment; something no fan or Manager wants to see from a shot stopper.
Leeds do have a choice in Joel Robles. The 32yo journeyman joined Leeds on a twelve month contract last Summer, and has been warming the bench ever since. He's made two Cup performances this season, and the odd appearance for the U21's but has not been involved in regular first team action for several years.
Do Leeds persevere with Meslier, or give Robles a chance.
