Hi Folks

Big spending Nottingham Forest travel to West Yorkshire on Saturday for an early evening kick off at Elland Road.

Aitor Karanka has recruited the likes of Joao Carvalho from Benfica (for 13m), ex manchester united defender Janko, Lewis Grabban and giant keeper Costel Pantilimon. They have also recruited Sam Byram on loan from West Ham.

Although Forest started the season slowly, they have gradually found there feet, and are hovering just below the play off's.

Leeds will be wanting to build on their midweek win, courtesy of goals from Roofe and Cooper, and are not expected to make too many changes.

Jansson is available for selection following his one match ban.

We await news of Berardi's hamstring injury.

Alioski looks set to retain his left back role following a good performance against Ipswich, though Harrison may be dropped in favour of local lad Jack Clarke.

 

In the words of the legend Doc: 'This is going to be onemotherfuckergametowin. We had the chance to get Grabban last winter but refused to pay his wage demands, then had the chance again this Summer but went for the greedy gits known as Abel Hernandez (Doing fk all in Russia) and Vydra (scored 1 for Burnley) we should have got Grabban because he scores goals and is golden booting it so far this season too.

If we get a win it will be one hell of a result and a draw will also be good because Forest will take 3 points off most in this league even the top teams. £28m spent on just 5 players, 4 massive loans from the prem and a bunch of prem/top championship freebies. Its an unfair league as we know as there will always be clubs spending big money to get out of the league, p-lus there are half the clubs in this league on massive parachute payments. The first time we have done anything brilliant in 13 years is:

1. Invest in Bielsa
2. Spend big money on Bamford and not had the benefit of that yet, but confident we will.

Bielsa has proved his worth already when he took a bunch of Sunday league players to the top of the league. If you think about last seasons players that is. This match will be hard because don't forget it was Orta that took Karanka to Boro, it was Orta who found him the players and it was Orta who left Boro with Karanka getting the sack not long after. There's history in this match and both sets of players will want to do damage to the other team. Could be fiesty and could also be a feast of footy

 

Ryan Edmondson is still scoring goals as Leeds go 3-0 up against Notts County. Robbie Gotts also on the score sheet

 

So it's a nailed on nil nil

 

I really hope it's Clarke and Alio or Pearce and Alio on the left, Harrison as done nothing to convince me he deserves to get in ahead of either .

 

Tbf to Harrison,he looks better on the right side,not the left.

 

Spot on Chesh. Himself and Saiz were both disappointing last night. Hernandez and Philips on the other hand were very good... Sorry for stating the obvious...

 

Of the bench ?

 

He may do mate but he's had one good game regardless where he's played, would much prefer to see Clarke given a chance, he can play both sides, so interchanging with Hernandez, which defenders don't like.

Think I'd replace Saiz with Forshaw if for nothing else but a kick up the ass.

 

he needs a kick up the harris at the moment

 

why are we talking about his looks

 

Could be the whisky but you've lost me there Chesh

 

Yeah you explain it chesh

 

think it must be the Whisky,as it was Wakey not Me.

 

Always avoiding responsibility

Had a bad experience?
