    Leeds Utd V QPR
    Sat 8th December@3pm
    Streaming links to follow

    Hi Folks

    QPR are the visitors to Elland Road on Saturday as Leeds aim to maintain their fine form. They have won 6 out of their last 7 games.

    Stuart Dallas and Liam Cooper join Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi on the treatment table.

    All are expected back in January.

    There is better news for long term absentees Patrick Bamford and Izzy Brown.

    Both players have minutes under their belts for the U23's. Don't be surprised to see both on the bench on Saturday.

    Norwich will need to beat Bolton to ensure the Canaries stay top of their perch; if they don't Leeds will be hovering.

    Alioski to make a surpise appearance at right back and find his true position.brown and clarke to share wing duty with pablo changing sides when needed.
    Roofio to get a brace and pontus and halme bagging one each.
    The peacock to make three howlers and we win 4-3.

    That's a good call regarding Alioski, I wouldn't mind seeing him start at RWB

    I think we miss Phillips in midfield when he has to play CB so I'd like to see Pontus and Halme start in the middle, I think Forshaw is great but Phillips and Klich together are better

    I dont get to see much of what klich does as i watch streams a lot and they of course follow the ball.
    Phillips is doing the job hes been picked to do it keeps him alert as he can be a bit lapse.he can see the game better and pick a pass using his best side.

    Shackelton is RB for this game and Ayling, Pearce and Dalls all back at the end of the month. I too would have liked to see Alioski at RWB and see if Izzy Brown could smash the left wing role

    once again bielsabub has failed to take heed of my foresight and given the right back job to shako the 2nd .just because he has played it before ,i mean what does he know we are not even top of the league.i'm off to work on my theory of turning pontus into a striker.

    I think it's great news that Bielsa thinks the kids good enough to include in the team. This is the way to go to get a team we can be proud of. Players we have brought up not bought.

    And that's the way you get true club loyalty, but it does set the nerves jangling.

    No such thing as club loyalty or loyalty to the club for that matter anymore.

    No argument from me, more of a general observation. He's in because it's needs must. For example would Bielsa ever play Shackleton ahead of Ayling. It would be even better if the youngsters were so good that they could oust 1st team players through form rather than injury is all I meant.

    To be fair Duke a lot of the youngster have been signed from other academies and have cost transfer fees.

    Shackleton I think is one of the exceptions.

    Still I very much agree with your post and these young lads will still feel more pride and commitment to the club than the older journeymen we had to endure previously. Ultimately though, like the ones who have gone before they will look to progress their careers elsewhere unless our success matches theirs.

    Exactly, and rightly or wrongly, Bielsa admitted he had got to the point that he saw BPF as his No 2 keeper.

    Agree with your first line IF we get promoted. If not we are just a shop window for them and their agents as history has taught us.

    Now now...that is not the case at all.

    He decided to give Jamal Blackman the opportunity that all his hard work deserved whilst allowing BPF time to work on his game. Plus he explicitly stated that he would be given another chance before the season ended.

    So go wash your mouth out with soap and water for talking nonsense.
