    Good Morning. It's Friday 18th October, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

    Fulham come to Aaronson's rescue

    Brenden Arronson's chances of participating in tonight's Yorkshire Derby have been greatly increased, thanks to Fulham Football Club.

    The 23yo was part of Mauricio Pochettino's new look USA side that lost 2-0 to Mexico in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The game took place in Guadalajara, some 9000 kilometres away from Blighty.

    The game only finished at 5.30am (UK time) meaning but the time they showered, changed, arrived and boarded a flight another four hours would have passed, and that's before taking into account the sixteen hour flight.

    Fortunately for Aaronson, and the rest of the players (from both sides) who apply their trade in the Football League, they were allowed to board a private charter laid on for Raul Jimenez by Fulham, cutting the travelling time by half. The extra rest time ahead of tonight's Yorkshire derby could be pivotal.

    Will a point do?

    High flying Sheffield Utd are the visitors to Elland Road this evening as Leeds look to get back to winning ways after back to back draws.

    Chris Wilder's men are the divisions in-form team at the moment with five wins and a draw from their last six games, without even conceding! They've only surrendered three league goals all season; only Liverpool who have played two games less can boast a better record.

    Lady luck rarely shines on West Yorkshire's finest. Injuries to key personnel have meant Daniel Farke is 'down to his bare bones' as far as midfield selections are concerned, and that's before taking into account the late arrivals, coming back from International duty. Bearing this in mind, would you settle for a point tonight?

    A point really won’t do. If we win then our last two away draws become good results. Anything less than a win tonight and it looks like
    A poor run. Looks bad when our players have to hitch a lift home from internationals eh

    It's sheffield United, managed by Chris Wilder. Of course a point won't do <laugh>

    Doesn't mean it would be a terrible 'result'

    We need to provide them with a reality check. Knock their supposed confidence with a comfortable home win. I’d only take a draw if we were behind, late in injury time.

    A defeat doesn’t bearing thinking about. It’d leave
    Us six points off autos with almost quarter season gone playing catch up yet again. If we’re serious contenders we need to do it the way Bielsa did. Get out on top and let
    The others worry about us

    Never forgot Wilder’s disrespectful comments about us a few yrs ago, hope we hammer and humiliate them and him on the pitch, don’t have to worry over the fans they will do there part.

    After the way we dropped two points at Sunderland, anything less than 3 points will feel extra painful

    Wilder is one of the best coaches outside of the PL he knows how to set teams up at this level

    He didn’t do badly, they were a handful for half the first half. They just couldn’t hold back what was a superior set of players.

    Which part, anything less than 3 points will feel painful or Wilder being one of the best coaches at this level as I believe both to still be true.

    He has managed to get a poor squad to second in the table and unbeaten before they played us, that wasn't by chance

    I’m starting to worry, I think I might like Wilder or Dyche as a manager at ER, were Daniel to get the boot. I do like their straight talking style :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Nah, was hoof and hope trying to beat the offside trap.
    They would have been better getting to 25 yards and trying to beat the goalie who was under pressure from the previous mishap.
