    Good Morning. It's Friday 26th June, and here are thew latest headlines from Elland Road

    Bundesliga outfit shortlist Orta for technical role

    The Independent are reporting that Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig are on the hunt for a new Technical Director, and Victor Orra is on their short list.

    The Spaniard worked closely with RB Leipzig and Red Bull International Soccer in securing the services of Augustin in the January transfer window.

    Red Bull are looking to replace Paul Mitchell, who joined from Tottenham in 2018, left to become sporting director at AS Monaco earlier this month.

    Orta, who instrumental in bringing Bielsa to the club.

    Sources close to Orta say there has not been an official approach, and Orta is expected to stay at Elland road next season, and beyond.

    Bielsa's pre match press conference

    The Gaffer looks ahead the the Fulham game and gives injury updates on Hernandez, Forshaw and Augustin.





    Who would settle for a 0-0 tomorrow?

    As we all know, Fulham are the visitors to Elland Road tomorrow. A win for Bielsa's men could see Leeds open up a 10 point gap between themselves, as long as West Brom can win in West London against Brentford?

    The Baggies, just like Leeds have occupied the top two all season, Although neither club owes the other any favours, they'll both be praying that the top two can extend their lead over the play off contenders.

    A win for Fulham would move the Cottagers within 4 points of Leeds.

    Bearing all this in mind, if you were offered a 0-0 prior to the match, would you take it?

    Morning all. Would take a draw tomorrow but not ideal of course. Orta to stay, brilliant news. Didn't sound like big Kev will play much of a part in remainder of season, really hope Pablos up to speed to start

    Morning all.

    A draw tonight between WBA & Brentford and a win/ draw tomorrow would make for the perfect weekend.

    Morning all.

    It's certainly more a mustn't lose than must win especially if Brentford win tonight, which I think they will.

    I'd rather a 1-1 than a 0-0, be nice to get a goal.

    Morning all. It is important but not vital that we win tomorrow .Football teams comprise of eleven players and should not rely solely on one man to score the goals. We want a bigger contribution from forward and midfield. We need to get more shots on goal ,goals win matches as we found out last match.Do you understand?now go get 'em.

    Brentford are the team i fear, Fulham have shot their bolt, a win for WBA tonight will all but seal the top two finish, as long as Leeds don't lose on saturday, and i can't see that :emoticon-0107-sweat
    C'mon West Brom :)
    Good morning everyone

    The only fear I have is our non existent forward line. Also home advantage has gone out the window. :(

    or 4 points after Sat and sweaty bollocks time. I'm nervous personally Davy, not because I'm worried about the fitness of the lads or the tired excuse, but just the mental thing. <wah>

    Yes, the forward line is a real big issue. Hope our midfield is on top of their game, because that is where our goal has to come from:emoticon-0104-surpr

    Plenty of twists and turns yet, Fulham still have to go to West Brom and Forest plus Cardiff at home, Brentford have Preston and Derby who are hoping to get in the play offs.

    Sensing the nervousness around, which is quite understandable, perhaps it may not be a bad thing there's no crowd tomorrow, remember Cooper saying how the team felt the nervousness from the crowd at the end of last season and it does filter onto the pitch.

    Maybe no crowed, but I have to commend the club for trying to make an atmosphere at the game tomorrow. Most say I’m really impressed in what they have done:emoticon-0100-smile
