Good Morning Everyone, It was not until I saw the highlights (courtesy of LL) that I realised we dominated the game more than I thought, especially when it came to chances. Bartley and Jansson went close for the Whites before Villa had their best chance of the game, a one on one with Green, which resulted in a fine save from the former England shot stopper (though I believe the shot was going wide anyway). Even the most sceptical among us have to admit we have a good chance of the play offs? Hernandez' hamstring strain he sustained a month ago is a little worse than thought. He will be out until the New Year. At least Bridcutt is training again. I was not aware of this but he had a fractured foot! After the Villa game, Gary Monk said the following to the YEP:- “The 18 we had out there are the only 18 players we have in the first team. “We need bodies back on the pitch and bodies to help the squad. We’ve been unfortunate with injuries. “We work on plans for the players and we’re happy with where we are physically but we have to try and avoid contact injuries because we can’t afford any more of those. “(O’Kane) was close but he felt he wasn’t ready or fit enough to contribute to the game. We left him to decide and you don’t want any players going on with doubts about anything. We have to be 100 per cent. “The 18 there were the fit ones but whoever goes on will give their all.” It has been revealed that Laudrup was sacked from Swansea due to suspicion of fraud on 7 players, including: Chico Flores, Pablo Hernandez and Ben Davies. 50% sale of Leeds Utd to be completed next week, according to The Mail. Cellino stays if we go up, sells if we don't.
Morning all. As usual these days, I cant wait for the Friday live match.They cant come quick enough. Brother in law is sick of everything Leeds after that weekend
Morning all.. Hernandez has spent more time on the treatment table than the pitch, I would rather keep his replacement Roofe in the starting 11. I can't help but feel Hernandez is never going to hit top form again, age and injuries hampering his time with us. To be honest, when he has played h hasn't been memorable, I say forget him, allow him to go back when his loan expires, look at bringing in someone better come January but until then continue with Roofe. When Bridcutt and O'Kane are back maybe Phillips or Vieria can slot into his position
Morning ristac, Leeds have agreed a fee to purchase Hernandez next month; but I know what you are saying about injuries. Roofe is getting better every time he plays

All the way down there it has to be one of those insignificant pub league teams and as they are more insignificant than most I suspect you are right.
Hey everyone hope you're having a good day. Hernandez is excellent when on the pitch most of the time, and can be a bit greedy at times going for it himself. His biggest attribute however is the lift in the dressing room as he's the experienced head who has played at the top level. Monk is no mug and if Monk wants to keep him I'm happy, if Monk wants to let him go I'm cool with that too. If the sale goes through in the next couple of weeks ok, but I can wait until it happens. Not understanding the comment that Cellino stays if we get promoted and he goes if we don't. If a deal is done based upon Raddrizani taking full control in the summer, that means buying 100%. Yes 2 different prices for each half of the club if we get promoted but that makes sense.
You want to risk a tenner? Been getting touted for too long.... Believe it less than I did three weeks ago. Not happening IMO
Horrid draw.... Wanted a good pay day and to get knocked out with confidence maintained by a citeh, chelsea or arsenal... Concentrate on the league. Cup is a distraction we can do without. Imvho
Another opportunity to play a few of the squad, keep the unbeaten run going and keep the big guns if needed..
