Good Morning Everyone Bournemouth striker Yann Kermorgant is a doubt ahead of the visit of Leeds after a shoulder injury, with Brett Pitman set to stand in. Cherries forward Tokelo Rantie is also an injury doubt, while Elliott Ward is still out after knee surgery. Adryan is expected to make his first appearance for the club, but will he start? If he is in the starting XI, who will give way? Sam Byram is available for selection following his three game ban. New boys Brian Montenegro and Dario Del Fabro are not expected to feature, though both played for the U21's yesterday in their 3-1 win against Barnsley.
Morning Elland. I think Adryan should be eased into the 1st team because I reckon it'll be a bit of a culture shock for him and we don't want to put too much expectations on his young shoulders. Bournemouth are a tough side to play against and they can score goals, as we are a team just starting to gel I reckon a draw wouldn't be too bad, other than that I wouldn't try and predict the score..
Don't think Adryan will start but I think he'll get on as a sub in the 2nd half. Redfearn was keen to bring him on against Brum but felt it wasn't the right game for him to make an appearance. Byram will start I think. I'm interested to see what formation we play? I'm presuming it'll be the diamond formation. If it is then I'm curious as to what he'll do with Austin and Doukara. When they came on on Saturday they completely changed the game but I'm not sure it'll have the same effect if Austin starts? Was impressed with Sloth on Saturday so I hope he starts again. I was surprised when he got subbed but it made a huge difference
Morning gents. A new day and I'm sure a new favourite for coaches job. Tell you what's funny, all the talk is about Sabella and yet Cellino said yesterday he's identified a target but needs to speak to him. So these guys are installed as favourites before Cellino even speaks to them. Watched bits of the west ham games last night and it pains me to say it but were still light years off that standard. The pace of the game compared to the static rubbish were playing. Still hoping for a sneaky win tonight with hopefully more attempts on goal than recent games
Good morning to Matt and co from a dull damp Cote de Bardsey . Well Mowatt is not playing tonight so it looks to me like the team that finished the game minus Mowatt replaced by Sloth will start Sharp to will figure alongside Doukara to give some more penetration Adryan will be sub On the manager front I dreamed last night that Alex Sabella had agreed a deal remember he knows the club and its fan base really well and he could bring to the table young Argies who are the next Messis and Agueros so it could well be a very inspired appointment in my humble opinion but hell what do I know ! No I have no placed a bet on it but usually my dreams turn out correct so I have stated something that I know I will get shot at!
Morning all ... will be very tough tonight, Bournemouth have spent money and improved, and at home they play a very fast game, good manager as well ... bottom line is we are Leeds, and we need to go into every game wanting to win, but I'm not sure Redders can get this done for us tonight ... on Sabella, anyone go info on his exploits managing at club level?

Morning all. Should be an interesting game tonight. I'd play: Silvestri Normal back 4 with Byram at RB Austin in the holding CM with 3 in front - Bianchi or Cook, Sloth, & Mowatt Sharp and Doukara up front. I'd put adryan on the bench to come on for 20 mins. Much as I hope we win, given that we're still a ork in progress and we're away from home, I'd take 2-2.
From Wikipedia ; "After retirement, Sabella became a coach, but worked mostly as field assistant for Daniel Passarella. The duo coached the Argentina national team, Italian side Parma AC, the Uruguay national football team, Mexican Monterrey, and Brazilian Corinthians. In 2006, they were hired back by River Plate, that finished in third place in the Apertura tournament. On 15 March 2009, Sabella became coach of Estudiantes de La Plata, where he won the 2009 Copa Libertadores. On 2 February 2011 he announced his resignation. Due to protestations from the team's players and management, he agreed to reconsider his decision, but made it final the following day. He officially resigned on 3 February 2011. After Argentina's early exit at the 2011 Copa America, Sabella was appointed as the manager of the Argentine national football team. Sabella was originally set to be the new coach of UAE League team Al-Jazira Club but backed out of the agreement after the AFA has shown interest in him." Cellino might sit up and take notice of this - "worked mostly as field assistant".
Sabella, flamboyant player, would be a great appointment. Never thought he got a fair chance at Leeds so I can see where he's coming from when he says he has unfinished business here. Can't believe we'd go from a Forest Green Rovers reject to the former manager of World Cup Finalists Argentina, but stranger things have happened. Re tonight's game is Mowatt injured?
Bloody hell. Just been reading up on Wiki about Sabella and clicked a link to the 2010-2011 Argentine domestic season. Have a look at all the computations regarding the champions, relegation, promotion, qualification for the Copa Libertadores etc. It's given me a headache trying to work it out. I'd hate to be a fan of one of those clubs on the last day of the season ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–11_Argentine_Primera_División_season#Torneo_Apertura
Don't remember much about him to be honest. Apparently his nickname in Argentina was "Sloth" because he was so slow.
Great left foot, cultured player. Tony Currie was flamboyant but no one could call him a speed merchant
Montenegro & Deb Fabio have got to feature sometime tonight, we are lacking goals, and the young Brazilian on to add some flair.
Worried about this one. Think we will get smashed. Bournemouth play great football and if we line up with the diamond I can see them over running us constantly. Hope I'm wrong! Morning all
Agreed. We are totally lacking creativity. Cant continue the entire season in present format or the points haul could be poor. Tough thing for the players surely is adapting to effectively the third coach this season in next couple of weeks, all with very different ideas, can't be easy
