Good Morning. It's Thursday 13th February, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road. Season ticket prices frozen for the ninth year in a row. Leeds United have announced that Season Ticket prices for the 2020/21 campaign will remain the same, whether Leeds reach the Premiership or not! The online renewal process will begin from Wednesday 12th February 2020 when current Season Ticket holders will be able to purchase their seat for next season. (Paper forms will be sent out to those who do not register online). You can spread the cost of the season ticket over 6 months, but ONLY if you renew online! The renewal window will close on Friday 27th March 2020 with no plans to go out on general sale as it stands, meaning no new Season Tickets will be made available. Chief Executive Angus Kinnear said: “We are really pleased to announce yet another prize freeze on Season Tickets for the 2020/21 campaign to our supporters who continue to show unwavering support for the players and our club. “This season we have once again generated the highest average attendances in the Football League and we take this opportunity to thank our fans for their outstanding loyalty. “We currently have in excess of 23,000 Season Ticket Holders and we hope to retain as many of these as possible, your early commitment is critical and hugely appreciated.” Leeds remain second after Millwall comeback The Lions of Bermondsey came from behind to earn a well deserved draw against Promotion rival Fulham at the Den last night. The Cottagers took the lead as early as the third minute through free scoring Aleksandar Mitrović, only for towering Iceland International winger Jón Daði Böðvarsson ti equalise five minutes later. Gary Rowetts men could have picked up all three points after they were awarded a penalty. Unfortunately Jed Wallace 100% record from 12 yards this season came to an end. This means that Leeds stay ahead of Fulham on goal difference. Meanwhile West Brom came from behind to beat Reading at the Madejski Stadium stretching their lead by six points. Hasselbaink claims Casilla needs 2 or 3 games on the sidelines Soccer Leeds star, turned football pundit Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has claimed that French U20 International keeper Illan Meslier will be questioning what he has to do to be given a chance between the sticks? "If I am the second goalkeeper, you would be thinking 'what do I need to do to get into the team?'," Hasselbaink told Sky Sports. "Do you not trust me?' "It would be very hard for the second goalkeeper if, after all these errors, he won't get a chance to make the team better and to settle the team down. That is the most important thing. To settle the back five down. "Sometimes you have to think about him [Casilla]. Sometimes you have to release him from the pressure. Forget about, at this moment in time, your back four. What must go through his mind? He might be a strong character. But he might also need two or three games just to sit on the sidelines and to calm himself down."
Morning all... A good result for us last night, it could have been better but it could have been a lot worse. When there is a large gap teams play with nothing to lose, get within striking distance and the nerves start to kick in. This is why I keep taking joy from the fact we are still playing well and creating chances. Keep playing like we did against Brentford and we’ll lose very few. Change the keeper and it will improve even greater. The rest around us will have nerves kicking in now, a shame Forshaw is out for the season, we need to move on a few of those made of glass and bring in a couple of more robust players. Bogusz posted on his social media account that he’ll be back soon, I wonder if we’ll see him in the senior starting 11 before the season is finished
I fear that the clamouring for Kiko to be dropped will only strengthen Bielsas insistence of playing him. Its heartbreaking!
Morning everyone. We can highlight mistakes in front of goal and in goal but I'm feeling much more positive about our chances after the performance on Tuesday. Against Forest we looked clueless. They were in control, we didn't look like scoring and always looked vulnerable on the counter. On Tuesday it was different against, in my opinion, a much better team. We didn't look like we would concede and it was just a matter of us converting our chances. I have faith that Bielsa knows what he is doing and we are still in the auto places.
I think the difference was all down to the shape of the defence and having Phillips and White back in their natural roles including Dallas at LB and not central
Good morning all Looking at the fixtures left (as most are against teams outside the top eight) looks the easier run in , but since when have Leeds seized the initiative and taken advantage of an advantage
If we want autos we need to put a run together. The next four games are very winnable so I want to see 10 points from 12 at least. Just once can we make it easy, please?
Didn't you know he will be found guilty ---------------------------------------------------- six match ban being implemented from 3rd may
Well, today's presser wasn't good. Main points... Bamford and Casilla to start vs Bristol. Forshaw out for 6 months. Needs an op and sounds like it could be a big op as Bielsa says Forshaw should be nervous of it and that the club did everything to avoid the op. Gotts injured. Has been for 5 weeks. https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co...-explains-decision-stick-kiko-casilla-1556659 Not much good news coming from there!
I expect Bamford to start for a few more games if I’m being honest whilst Augustin gains match fitness. Kiko starting, I’m surprised to be honest with you, how many more chances does he get
The other thing I forgot is that it seems Poveda isn't proving good enough to break through and get a spot on the bench!
The thing about Kiko is that if he is having a crisis of confidence, then dropping him might finish him for the rest of the season, mentally. Now that might be fine for a number of fans, but ask yourself what happens if Meslier is **** or gets injured. What do we do then? Huffer is still out injured & Maizek must have learned from the press that he's being sold, so his confidence will probably be at rock bottom. That leaves the new 18yo we signed from Italy. How's that for a backup? Looking at it from this perspective, I think I may now understand why Bielsa is ploughing a lone furrow on this one.
