    Leeds Utd v Preston North

    Sunday 20th December 2015 at 3.00pm.

    Steve Evans faces a selection dilemma ahead of Preston's visit to Elland Road tomorrow afternoon.

    Should Evans start with Doukara?

    Should he replace Wood with Antenucci?

    What about starting with Bamba instead of Bellusci or Cooper?

    Can Dallas' form continue? Is this the start of a new Dynasty? <doh>

    Are the team going to be tired, having played a match on Thursday?

    Preston will be without winger Chris Humphrey (shin) and striker Stevie May (knee) who have both been ruled out for the season.

    Striker Jermaine Beckford misses the game against his former club with a knee injury.

    Preston's last visit to Elland Road ended with them beating Leeds 6-4. Let's hope history does not repeat itself.

    We ain't going up, we probably ly ain't going down a 4-6 would be a good day out and much better that a turgid 0-0 or 1-0 for those going!

    You already know....
    Looking forward to the game tomorrow..... If we lose the glums can blame me ( it's easier than accepting the truth). If we win their fox is shot....
    What you up to for Crimbo?

    Morning All,

    I don't think Wood should get dropped. OK, he missed a couple of sitters, but at least he's getting into the right positions. But only when we were playing 4-4-2, I note. Interesting. You can't drop a man when he's rebuilding his confidence & has nearly finished his convalescence (I hope). Suspect Evans will be influenced by this & perhaps give hm that support that he needs, so hopefully 4-4-2. Then again, 4-1-4-1 worked a treat last week, so who knows?

    Defence? Tricky one for Evans. The current CB pairing is not exactly setting the heather alight, but they're fairy stable. I just wonder if the reintroduction of Bamba might be an unnecessary disruption. Evans has publicly endorsed Bamba as being a favourite of his, but it's another toughie decision for him.

    One change I would like to see is for Wootton to be dropped. I think his performances undermine the CB pairing. I wonder if Evans is now waking up to this. I see Lewie Coyle was on the bench on Thursday. Perhaps if a match is going our way comfortably, the lad might get some game time to build him up as Wootton's permanent replacement (unless Berardi takes his place back, of course!).

    Morning WJ,

    Coyle was supposed to go on loan at York in the transfer window. Don't know what went wrong there. Though Wootton was solid enough v Wolves, was actually quite imppressed with him, but Doukara played a blinder, and kept the ball really well.

    Enjoy it mate.... But a super rich estate agent should be paying and you should be going somewhere better than Toby carvery. No point having it and not flaunting it.....

    You look shocked.

    I'll give you ban example. Christmas works meal. Directors wanted to go to posh hotel with 5 course meal and silver service.

    My thoughts, I wanted to go to TGI Fridays, and told the directors to save their money on pretentious food whether you might get a 3 slices of cold turkey, two potatoes and soggy veg delicately placed on your plate by a guy in a tux.

    Don't get me started on wine waiters

    **** that.... Gimme 3 or 4 pints any day.

    Good food doesn't have to be pretentious.... Our favourite places to eat are independent places, not hotels.
    Prices are reasonable ( not cheap) but not rip off. They serve great food, have good service and care about their customers and reputation.

    Morning troops. Good job JB can't play tomorrow. He could still hurt us. Would actually like him back.

    We're at home, & we should play 442 with Doukara & possibly Wood or Antenucci up front. Think the back 4 should start the same. Leeds to win by 2

    Good morning to Matt Neil Kevin and co from a warm but dull Bardsey
    Preston always brings back memories to me going back to 1963 it seems like yesterday and yet I have to remind myself it 52 years ago!
    The stage was set for a brutal encounter 3 teams were contesting for promotion Sunderland Preston and us
    Leading the line for Preston was Alex Dawson ex Man U and a fearsome warrior who intimitaded centre halfs
    so it was imperative to keep him quite I wondered what Don had in store for him!
    The match started at a cracking pace with no one giving an inch that is until Bremner saw his chance and barged Dawson into the hoardings behind the scratching shed .You could hear the contact made between Dawsons head and the boards .Play stopped for quite a while to attend to the stricken Dawson
    Eventually he left the field of play with Billy protesting his innocence to all and sundry ,no wonder we were tagged dirty Leeds
    Dawson eventually returned like the warrior he was with his head all bandaged but he was like a groggy boxer don't forget there were no subs allowed
    Oh the match ended 1-1
    That season we lost 2 games at Sunderland and Preston away and got promotion Preston finished 3
    My team for tomorrow
    Silvestri
    Wootton /Adeyemi Bamba Cooper Taylor
    Byram Cook Bridcutt Dallas
    Dukara Wood
    Subs Murphy Mowatt Coyle Erwin Botaka Belusci GK

Moe was mortified with me .How can you show us up like that
