Listening to Kit no new injuries. Hoogland and Amo are still out.

Don't expect any surprises.

Kiraly
Grimmer Bodurov Burn Star
Parker LVC
Williams Ruiz McC
Hugo

Maybe bring Hyndman in place of Ruiz...
 
Certainly don't like the look of what could be our possible formation. but the selection is limited,
Would not expect much from this match, but hope we don't get mauled.
Hopefully we will not go into the new year with no more points in the bag, surely us long suffering supporters
deserve a relegation free run in to the seasons end
 
Morning all,

Looks like the team that will probably start Madness. As Kunye pointed out Ruiz should start on the bench. Personally I would like to see LVC in place of him with Hyndman in next to Parker. One thing you know for sure is that it will be a tough game physically and the crowd will be right behind them. An early goal to keep the crowd quiet could be just the tonic to get us playing the ball to feet and not pumping it long.

Must admit not hopeful today, we are not great away and Leeds seem to get most there points at home, add the fact Kiraly is in instead of Betts in a defence already one of the worst in the division. There is a small bit of hope we do score a few and Leeds defence isn't much better than ours so you never know but if I used my betting head instead of my Fulham head I would be backing a narrow home win!
 
Great win for us.

Would be great to hear from the Leeds fans who regularly come on here to remind us how much better they are than us (apparently) <ok>
 
A great away win today, especially after the thumping from Watford. I'd have taken a draw, but it means 14th instead of 18th.
Hugo scores yet again - a man benched by the former "manager". Only pity is that Ross did not give the assist - would have been his 8th (I think). But well done LVC.
And a word for Kiraly for keeping a clean sheet.

COYW!
 
We rode our luck at times but what a great result today. First time at Elland Rd for me. Good banter with their fans. Great day !!

Can anyone who went give a quick report on our youngsters? grimmer, Fofana,Hyndman,LVC and Stafylidis cheers

Forfana had a better game on Saturday. I was wondering why on earth he was starting again after the Watford game but he gave it his all, though looked tired and a bit lazy on a couple of occasions. He should have done better running in on goal when he did not bring the ball with him, sort of tangled under his feet - which was frustrating to say the least. To do it once was frustrating but three times, well.

LVC is progressing best and is our most threatening, had a good game and won the game for us really. I like Stafylidis as well - back tracked well and saved us a few times. Hyndman also, slowly getting better, no complaints.

I'd also say Grimmer had a great game - I've been impressed with him in our last 3 games, really stepped up. We lack width and he at least tries to bring this to our game - we need others to be in a position to cross to. Woodrow came on with about 5 minute to go and came on full of energy and with something to prove, just what we needed as we were pegged back for the last 20 minutes.

I thought the first half was frustrating as no-one wanted to shoot. It took a moment of magic for LVC to take the game to them and force himself into the penalty area and deliver a perfect ball for Rodellega to put in the net.

I'll be honest and say a draw might have been a truer reflection of the game but Leeds did not take their chances and looked an average side.

It's all about confidence - the win will have put to bed the memories of the Watford game and we have another winnable game against Sheffield Wednesday if we can start the game better than we did last Friday.
 
It was interesting to see how we performed with out Parker. Normally a lot of the youngsters look to him to take the ball and start things off. But he wasn't there so they had to do things differently, and for me the ball sometimes came out quicker from defense, and Ruiz, McCormack or Christensen were released quicker.
Neither goalie was really tested or put under pressure, Fulham were more accurate with their passing, only Bianchi, Mowatt impressed from Leeds.
It was a fairly even game, but no real bite from either team in the last third.
 
A really good result for the lads.

Gentleman Jim was going bananas when any Leeds players tried to con the ref. One player I'm pleased for is Hutchinson. It sounded like he played well and well done to Kit for replacing Burn.

LVC was excellent as usual and look at the midfield 3 of Hyndman, LVC and Fofana, what's the average age of that trio? Flippin young that's what! But they all did really well with a lot of repsonsibilty on Ruiz's shoulders too, whomi thought had a solid game too.

All in all, a decent win away from home.
