Good Morning Everyone, Redders has a difficult decision to make Saturday when Leeds travel to Ewood Park. Bellusci is back from his one game ban. Should he go straight back into his central position role? Has Cooper done enough to keep his place? If Cooper stays, and Pearce gets dropped, who should get the captains armband? With Byram showing significant signs of improvement, where does that leave Beradi? Have you been impressed with Beradi? Stephen Warnock turns 33 in a few weeks! Should we keep faith in him for next season? Is Charlie Taylor an adequate replacement in due course? Midfielder Kalvin Phillips is ‘knocking on the door’ for first-team involvement following a string of impressive academy performances. The 18-year-old, who signed his first professional deal in the summer, has excelled in recent weeks for the under-21s and scored two stunning strikes in last Monday’s 3-3 draw at Nottingham Forest in the Professional Development League 2 Under-21s League.
Leeds goal keeper Alex Cairns' brother was killed this afternoon along with four friends in a vehicle accident.

All five teenagers are from the Doncaster area, and were travelling in a Toyota car that collided with a Seat car. It happened at around 9.40pm last night on the on the A630 at Conisbrough, approximately 600 metres from Archer Way.
To lose a family member must be devastating, but to lose a 16 year old. Words don't do it... "Blake Cairns was great fun; he had a huge network of friends, and was a very sporty boy. He represented the school in football teams. He had a real presence; a lovely cheeky boy who had great relationships with staff." – DANUM ACADEMY "Jordanna Goodwin never missed a single day of school from primary to the end of Year 11 and had received a special reward from the Local Authority. She was a joyful bubbly girl who had a fantastic rapport with staff. She was our Prom Queen this year, and looked so beautiful on the evening." – DANUM ACADEMY "Arpad Kore was always willing to help and assist at school; he was totally reliable member of our community, a true gentleman who looked out for everybody. He had a tremendous sense of humour." – DANUM ACADEMY "Megan Storey was a really bubbly young woman. She was totally reliable for all her friends and truly loyal. She was a very caring mature young woman who was a joy to be with. She too looked stunning at our prom." – DANUM ACADEMY "Bartek Bortniczak had kept close ties with his school friends since leaving. He was a fun loving young man, with a lovely character and a real sense of fun, a loveable lad. He was a member of our football teams. He was a down to earth soul." – DANUM ACADEMY "We will continue to do everything we can to support those affected. We have opened books of remembrance, and will have quiet rooms on both our sites with counsellors available from the morning. The Upper School site is open until 7 pm today for students, parents and staff who need to come in to be with each other and flowers are already being placed outside the sixth form block." – DANUM ACADEMY
What an awful accident and such a tragic waste of young lives. Thoughts are with their families and friends
Good Morning Matt and co from a very dull Cote de Bardsey Should we increase the age for people to drive to 21 this may stop this senseless killing in my opinion .All our thoughts are with the families and friends of the deceased
Morning troops. Tragic the accident involving Cairns brother & friends. May they RIP. On Cooper, yes I'd keep him in the side & look at the practicality of 3 CBs with Warnock and Byram pushing on and getting wide whenever possible. If we're not going to play 3 CBs, then Pearc retains the captaincy and plays alongside Cooper. Warnock is definitely worth a place next season. Taylor will just have to wait and keep pushing for a starting spot.
I'll second that, and a limit on what cc engine they can drive!!! The poor families must be in bits, thoughts, sympathy and blessings to each and all of them.
Now to address your queries Matt If Phiilips is good enough he shoulod be includrd in the squad and let Murphy out on loan This week we should like to see Hunt Norris Wooton Ajose as well as Murphy go play elsewhere My best players signed in summer include Cooper who I rate highly so yes I would [play him all the time he reminds me of Madeley Captain well Warnock is performing well so nlet him wear the band We should wee a rare spectacle this week signing a winger the Leicester lad would get my vote I have been impressed with him Knockeart and get his mate Woods was well
If Phillips is that good, send him out on loan to a L1 side. There's a considerable jump from Academy to Championship. Let's see if he can cut it in L1 or 2 first.
Now listen Chippy I don/t think they should ban people over 75 from driving but they should be made to do a driving test again,.I have said this for a long time now and I feel that it would be worthwhile alkthough I.m sure you will know what evidence have you to back up your claim that we should all be banned that is a ridiculous statement I feel myself that i am not a nuisance on the road I know how to indicate on roundabouts unlike 75% of drivers and above all I am curteous at all times which is a rarity in itself so I say let the oldies drive provided they are not a nuisance Its been proved that young kids should not be allowed to drive under 21 they do not know what dangers there are we on the other hand have had years of experience both here and abroad I have driven for the best part of 52 years and have never had a claim so why should I be banned !
An old Jasper Carrott sketch is springing to mind 60. ( to be said in an iffy Aussie accent for affect & allegedly something written on an insurance claim form.) " I've been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel"
