Good Morning Everyone Could the fact that Lewis Baker was recalled by Chelsea, and subsequently sent out on loan to Reading be a blessing in disguise for Leeds? It has to mean that Bielsa will need to replace the player, especially after unexpectedly losing Saiz over Christmas. Then have a look at our current injury list : Brown Bamford Berardi Dallas Douglas Hernandez I firmly believe that if Bielsa was not happy with anything, he would be the first to voice his displeasure, and he hasn't. Perhaps Bakers absence will be the straw that broke the Camel's back? According to Sun Journalist Alan Nixon, Victor Orta had been active “for the last few days! As reliable sources go, Nixon is a credible authority. Bielsa has told us that with Hernandez injured, Tyler Roberts will come in to play the number 10 role tomorrow night! Should he be letting our opposition know what our plans are? With the lack of minutes on the pitch (for the first team) Roberts has had, is he going to be good enough / sharp enough to fill Hernandez's void? Are we talking square pegs in to round holes? Given the option, who would take a draw against Derby tomorrow night? Douglas will be out of action for 2 / 3 weeks. Who should take his place?
Morning Elland and all. Good to see all’s well. We don’t currently have anyone capable of filling Pablos void. As for injuries, obviously something we’ll have to cope with as clearly by the time these come back others will be ready for the sick bed. Just have to get on with what we have for tomorrow and into the future. Here’s hoping derby are as poor as the first time we mullered them. Ps brown can hardly be classed yet as an injury as he’s never played and was only ever a cheap punt
Morning all... Forza heard some good gossip about a possible marquee signing for Monday, I’m hoping that one comes off (see Transfer rumours). I’d play Alioski at LB so my back four would be Ayling, Pontus, Cooper, Alioski. Wide players would have to be Clarke and Harrison, Klich, Tyler and Forshaw making up the rest of the midfield and Roofe up front. All things considered I think it’s an attacking team that could win. Tyler Roberts won’t have the creativity of Pablo but he’ll offer a threat with direct runs, pace and shooting. Bielsa announcing it early, that’s because he will want Derby to set out a team to combat two pacey forwards in the middle, he probably wants Derby playing an extra defensive player rather than attacking midfield or two strikers so that he can deploy his strategy knowing what Derby will probably do.
Morning all and welcome back Matt We are thin on the ground now and have 10 players missing through injury and being moved on. Bielsa wasn't happy about baker but I am but he knows more about footy than me. he said he had told Baker he would be playing more in the next 6 months and even told him he wanted him here next season. Whilst this was going on Baker was asking Chelsea to enforce the recall clause in the contract. Bielsa not happy!! Hoping that Forza's mate is spot on and we bring in that top player from Spain who is a former World Cup winner and European Champions winner, which means he's from Seville - Man City - Seville, plays on the wing and is a top top player. (If I'm right) Other transfer news which came in from Este last night was that ibai Gomez has signed for Athletico Bilboa (Gutted) and Llorente is wanted by Barcelona (twat) but Fran Sol seems to still be a thing. Obviously Orta has offered Vorm to Bielsa and he turned it down so which keeper as there a re loads back in the mix including Joe Jart now. On the team front with Roberts given the Saiz/Pablo role you wish him luck its like me subbing for Elland. For me the season revolves around what happens in this window and the health and fitness of Bamford and Brown. Bielsa can chop and change his kids but we were always going to struggle getting a full season out of the old boy Pablo and that's why we had Saiz but now we don't and his stand-in Brown is still not ready? We need goals and can't afford to lose Roofe but we will through injury as we have done already
****ing sick of all these injuries, never known anything like it, and ultimately i think its gonna cost us in the end
Its almost like a coach load of drunken Leeds fans on a stag weekend playing British Bulldogs pissed. Most end up in A&E
Good Morning TO Matt and his friends from a dull Bardsey First of all pleased you are back with us Matt I suggested getting a nebuliser Moe has one for her Asthma and finds it very helpful she bought it on the internet I fear we are losing the plot we need a keeper now Baker who is he?
Yep, me too, think Derby might do us tomorrow!! then the doubters will be out of there cupboards or coffins.
Time for the annual keep fit regime to start again. And this year I've found a challenging plan I may be able to stick with .....
Build up to it first or heart explodes at your age and weight. Start with potato crisps bags. Wo a box of crisps but not them heavy furs cheese and onion.
Four Unnamed PL clubs lining up a bid for Clarke, unnamed sounds bollocks, I just hope this isn’t an agent drumming up interest
