    Leeds could give a debut to striker Edgar Cani, who has joined on-loan from Catania for the rest of the season.

    Cani has this week trained with the Leeds squad and gives Redfearn an extra option as fellow targetman Steve Morison has been nursing a hip problem in recent weeks.

    Cani, signed on loan from Catania until the end of the season, has this week trained with the Leeds squad and gives Redfearn an extra option as fellow targetman Steve Morison has been nursing a hip problem in recent weeks.


    Bellusci serves the final game of his two-match ban, so Bamba should make his home debut.

    Cook has recovered from a slight knee injury that forced him off in the closing stages of last week's win at Huddersfield.

    Brentford could give a debut to defender Jack O'Connell, who arrived on Monday from Blackburn.

    Defender Alan McCormack is available after returning from ankle surgery, but will be competing with Moses Odubajo to return to the side.

    Midfielder Jonathan Douglas will captain the Bees against his former club. I wonder what kind of reception he'll get?

    Morning Elland.
    A good test today for Leeds. This will be an answer to our hopes for the rest of the season.
    New boys will find it tough in this league and I don't expect anything outststanding ( now watch Cani score 3 !!)

    I think we might come out of this with a 1-0 ( yes a clean sheet )

    1-1 for me.
    As long as we at least match and hopefully beat the result of those pesky wallies and half those teams on 34 points I will be fairly happy.

    Good Morning Glory, theoretically if we win today, we could climb 5 spaces

    Good thread Elland <ok>

    I'd love a win but I'm struggling to see anything better than a draw. We are only 2 points off 12th which is incredible.

    I'll be interested to see who Redders picks to start up front, if Cani didn't come in I would've thought he'll give Billy Sharp a run mainly because thats what Redfearn seems to do after a substitute scores. I'm still not overly happy with playing Mowatt on the left but its working for the moment.

    Any news on N'Goyi's injury?

    Morning Josh (evening) there seems to be a big difference between the top 6 / 7 and the rest.

    Afternoon Elland. MRI results Tuesday. But in a good mood after England's fine performance yesterday. Hoping for another 3pts today. How's you?
