Leeds will be looking to get back to winning ways after back to back draws against Millwall and Boro. Leeds will be without Berardi, Roofe, Shackleton and Hernandez but will be encouraged that Forshaw is on the comeback trail having come on as a second half substitute against Millwall. It is expected that the ex Boro midfielder will not be risked against the LilyWhites but will play for the U23's this week to bring his fitness up. Alioski's starting position is under threat after a poor game at the New Den. Dallas is on standby. Izzy Brown is working hard on his fitness but is not expected to make the squad for another week or two.
Pity Izzy not ready (or is he?) Really want to see him and how Bielsa can use him 5-0 Leeds anyway (not really, they will park the bus and we’ve lost a bit of firepower so I think we’ll win but it will be a close one)
Think Bielsa will want revenge for the cup game and expecting us to win by 3 and also have a feeling we will see something special formation wise. Roberts should start, but expecting a different set up
Let's not kid ourselves, this is a must win game if we hope to make autos. I would LIKE at least 2 clear goals for the win to keep our goal average up. What one would like one dosen't always get and no doubt about it as someone has already said they will park the bus.
Liked reading the Bielsa press conference (isn't it good to have a coach that doesn't trot out the usual cliches). loved his views on the draws, anything that isn't winning is a bad habit to start.
I like the way he comes across, no messing about. Doesn't slag anyone off and gets on with it. Looking forward to tomorrow and I'm positive we won't make the same mistakes when we played them last time.
Just some news Preston will be without2 mid field players out through suspensionLedson and Pearson and possibly Browne out as well so they have problems too Steve bruce is now after Chauker to bolster his defence he has 9 defenders on his books and Steve Smith awaits a call to be the next manager which is bad for us I would sooner have Bruce making his excuses every week
