    Leeds Utd v Bolton Wanderers

    Good Morning Everyone


    Bolton are the visitors to Elland Road on Good Friday with Leeds looking for only their second victory of 2018.

    Boltons recent form has catapulted them clear of the drop zone thanks to draws at the Wendies and Reading as well as a win against Villa.

    Leeds quest to stop free falling will not be helped by the news that Saiz and Dallas are injured.

    Looks like it will be all up to Hernandez again...

    Will it be a Good Friday for Leeds or will Heckingbottom be wandering what's hit them?

    Good morning all, despite their recent good form I think we can hold them to a 2 goal margin

    Rolling a dice and predicting what number you will get is easier than predicting what team PH will put out. I’ll be honest, I’m not expecting more than one point from this one.

    I have to be honest in saying I've lost interest.

    Not sure I'll even be watching any games that are live for the rest of the season. Its just an extended pre-season with PR bs to sell season tickets. Until they put their money where their mouths are and get in some decent players I'm not bothered. It's been a long time since we had something to shout about and be a comptetitor. We had an excellent start to the season and it all went tits up. The reason for that needs to be found and put right. You cannot be a decent championship team hoping for promotion if the players you bring in have no championship experience, its a different league to any other in the world; it seperates the men from the boys.

    Our team is full of boys. They need a chat with Vinnie Jones.

    Good shout <applause><applause><applause>

    Expecting a couple of kids and looks like Pearce will get another go, and he will either ignore Lassoga again by trying a rejuvenated Grot (Too early for me) over Ekuban. If Lassoga is fit and not picked that indicates Lassoga is going. I would love to see one of our strikers who are on fire in the academy sides get a start in a front 2 or 3. Edmondon has been used like a winger and made loads of goals as well as scoring himself. Sam Dalby........ Its the shoddy midfield that has killed our season and PH has made it worse by trying Sacko, poor performances from O'Kane and Phillips and not using Viera, Pablo has been our best player in there but Saiz absence wont help and even no Alioski too.

    The team and the bench will be the highlight as its all about who goes and who stays now

    I saw a post a while back saying vierra was one of the top (x?) upcoming young talent in (europe?) but never gets played. We have nothing to lose, get the kid running.

    He’s not been great the last few times he’s played

    Still think he’s a good player though, needs careful management st the moment

    Evening Everyone,

    Here is my team

    ------------------Peacock-Farell-----------------
    Hassanyeh-Jansson-Pennington -Pearce
    ----------------Viera----Forshaw----------------
    Alioski--------------Pablo--------------Cibicki
    ----------------------Lasogga--------------------

    Here is my thinking.
    Ekuban was absolutely useless 2 weeks ago as the sole man up front. I would actually question his attitude as far as effort was concerned too.
    Halme is coming back from a two month injury. Had he been playing regularly for the under 23's, I would have banished Pennington back to Everton's reserves.
    If Viera is fit for the England u20's albeit only 10 minutes, then he's fit to start for Leeds. He and Forshaw can be the backbone for Leeds next season.

    I have picked Cibicki for balance, not because of Jansson's comments. I think that team flows.

    Lastly I'd replace Berardi with Hassanyeh at right back.

    Berardi has been disappointing. Perhaps some time on the bench is in order.

    Who should have the Captain's armband - None of them deserve it tbh but suppose you'd better give it to Forshaw.

    If for some reason Viera is not fit to start, I'd play Clarke up front with Lasogga playing a 442 formation

    Evening Ell

    I'd start Saiz tomorrow, only player whom gives us the pace from box to box

    Forshaw deserves the captain's armband imo !

    Berardi has been poor of late, think Gaetano will start though

    Saiz only returned to training yesterday. I'd bench him, and bring him on for the last 30 minutes

    Yes possibly

    Just think we need to dominate from the start & somehow grab a lead

    Jack Clarke gone to Spain apparently to play in a tournament so we could get Edmondson or Dalby in the squad?

    Love to know what happened with Cibicki because when he was dropped the 23s he had a blinder and scored twice in a few minutes. Never played again for them but not first team either.
