please log in to view this image Leeds Utd v Bristol City Saturday 24th November @3pm Streaming links to follow Hi Folks Following the latest International Break, the Robins are the latest visitors to Elland Road. Bielsa has somewhat of a defensive crisis with Ayling, Berardi, Jansson and Pearce all sidelined. Shackleton will deputise at right back with Phillips dropping back to his unfamiliar role of centre back. This will free up space in midfield with Forshaw expected to protect the back four allowing Saiz to be recalled to add some much needed creativity to the side. Well, that's what I would do.... I heard a rumour that Bielsa will play Dallas at right back, Dallas at centre back and dallas a centre midfield!!! Why didn't anyone suggest to Leeds Utd in the Summer that we needed another defender??? Young Will Huffer will warm the bench for the first time this season following Blackman's injury! What team would you select against the Robins? Is it time Clarke started? What about Edmondson What should we do with Harrison and Baker? Have they lived up to expectation?
Well I may as well stick my 2 Pennth in Don't care who plays where, that's Bielsa's job, however I expect a convincing win otherwise the slippery slope will have started yet again. Copy:- Mr Andria Radrizani
Ah, to be talking about proper football again. Whoever thought up the 'international break' wants shooting
Pretty certain Dallas will be RB. Think this will be the team, it will pretty much pick itself. BPF Dallas Cooper Phillips Douglas. Forshaw Hernandez Klich Saiz Alioski Roofe Personally I'd play Clarke instead of Alio, even though I think Bielsa prefers Harrison over Clarke. Baker has had littlle chance but doesn't seem to have done much in the time he's had to warrant a start. I'm envisaging a 0-0

Evening pal, Phil Hay said on Tuesday that there is a chance Jansson would be fit for the Reading game, but extremely doubtful for BC.
Hernandez who's going to take the penalties now ffs? Oh yeah that's right we don't get given any so no worries
You can tell football's back cos Ell is back in football mode. I've been asking myself "is it 3pm Saturday 24th Nov yet" every day. Now that football's back to normal, we'll probably see a quite a few fans return to forum now the international break is over.......Thank God. Despite the apple cart still being tilted due to injuries, I think we'll beat BC 2-0 or 2-1......Saiz, Alioski and BPF to score the goals...... We'll probably see Forshaw move back into Phillips position if Phillips is moved into back 4, if it happens, this'll give the fans a chance to compare Forshaw to Phillips in that position. Looks like Saiz could be recalled to the starting line up along side Klich, this would be an added boost for Pablo and Alioski while strengthening our attacking options and mode. Many fans will see Dallas at RB as a weak spot, and they'd be right cos he's not a natural RB however, we have injuries to key players so Bielsa is going to have to fill that position with someone he thinks can do the best job on day. With Jansson supposedly injured, our back 4 are going to be weakened, so it's going to be interesting to see how they perform after the break.
Sorry shako but i wont be coming to the game.probably be working Sunday so no fun me drinking juice on Saturday .christmas rush and all that but good luck to all attending .
Morning. I’ll be there so a win is out of the question. You should have paid me more to stay away. I think it could go either way, I’m expecting a 1-1 draw. That isn’t good enough but our squad looks paper thin now we have a few out.
Tough one this. I think both teams will score. Could end up 3-2 or 4-3 let's hope its in our favour !
You know what I’m going to say now. Thanks, from you that means a lot. I actually posted something about dwarf hunting, but realised who else was going to the game so deleted it, as I don’t like to give offence. I’m glad he’ll never know
Bielsa says Blackman had won the goalkeeper jersey for this match and he was gutted for him. Blackman was starting this game after doing everything asked of him, even losing 12 kilos to get where Bielsa wanted him to be
