Good Morning Everyone Preston boss Alex Neil has been speaking to the Lancaster Evening post about tonights game. “I could sit here and say this is the most important game of the season for us but I’m not going to lie because for me Bolton’s more important. "It is an important game and it’s certainly important for the guys that are going to be playing because they need to perform well, not only for this game but going forwards. “We desperately want to win but I’d much rather get three points on the board on Saturday and get our league campaign going again." Both Preston and Leeds are expected to field weakened teams. Vinnie Jones was on the Alan Brazil show on TalkSport yesterday morning. He suggested that Liverpool and manchester united fans would not want to see the Whites back in the top flight. “They should do a Wolves and get in the Premiership,” “I think everybody would agree, get Leeds in the Premiership, Liverpool and Man U fans, maybe not, but who cares about them.” You have to love him!!! Caleb Ekuban was spotted at the airport yesterday with a one way ticket to Turkey. The goal shy striker is expected to pen a permanent deal with Turkish outfit Trabzonspor. Saiz has been strongly linked to a return to La Liga, this time with Valencia. Looking at how our players are performing, we can expect most of our players to be linked to moves away from Elland Road. Mateusz Klich has been called up by Poland for their Nations League game against Italy. Ironically, if he plays it will be four years to the day since his last cap! Name our three best players this season, in order!!!
Morning all... Funny when a weakened Leeds team will probably contain, Blackman, Bamford, Harrison, Baker, who’d have thought it a couple of months back. Couldn’t really name the three best as I’ve only seen highlights of some of the games, most impressed with: 1) Klich due to the nature of how he was dumped out last season. 2) Roofe because he seems to have been transformed or just right position? 3) Berardi as he’s another player many wanted replaced
Best players is easy: Roofe Saiz Klich Morning all and looking forward to tonight and hoping for another convincing win and think it pointless to out-think Bielsa on team selection so not bothered who he fields as I think all will put on a performance. Just wonder about Roberts as he wasn't in the U23s yesterday but Strujic, Dalby, Edmondson and Clarke all put in decent performances and should have maybe scored 2 or 3 more goals. Corberan gave them a rollocking on the pitch after the game for conceding the late equaliser
Good morning. Are we going to behave, now we have female representation on this board? Always interesting to see who plays and how they do, hope we rest key players we have Boro in 3 days. Is anyone modifying their alcohol consumption in the light of the news that there is no safe limit? Will it become like smoking? I think we need a backup to Sais though suspect the rumours are nothing. Think he finds it hard to maintain form game in game out and we need someone really firing in that position
More booze needed this season to celebrate and we need to remember that we have Forshaw who can do a Klich or a Phillips or even a Siaz, so he will be back shortly. I do think we will have 2 new additions before the weekend
Forshaw is good but not a Sais. Only player who is potential backfill is Pablo. Hope you are right about additions
Morning 20/20, With Klich playing as well as he is, Forshaw will have to spend some time on the bench.
Morning Doc, have to disagree with your 3. Where's Douglas? To show you the difference he has made.... Leeds' most frequent pass combinations vs. Norwich: Douglas to Alioski (18) Berardi to Douglas (16) Klich to Douglas (15) Hernandez to Ayling (13) Ayling to Hernandez (13)
Morning ristac, Klich was not given a proper opportunity last season, so pleased for him that he got a Polish call up.
Morning all. Was trying to name my three but changed my mind several times as the majority of them have excellent. As for tonight? A weakened Leeds team plays a weakened Preston team. What will anyone get out of this encounter? Who cares about these rubbish cups anymore? Vinnie is spot on re us being wanted and needed in the PL
Good Morning to the maestro and his posseI understand that we are going to be graced in future with a lady who knows much more than me.Welcome from a dull Bardsey I said yesterday Izzie Brown for me he was Towns best player 2 seasons ago I think we should attempt to buy him Thde Mourinho situation is worrying me because I feel that Bielsa ticks all the boxes and lets face it 7 m release clause is petty cash to them Saiz if he wants to leave for Valencia we will not be ab le to stop him so a fee of over 10m will compensate for our loss Ekuban has signed for a Turkish team and I wish him well .That leaves us with OKane and Anita to release in what has been a real cull Douglas KLItch and Hernandez but Roofe AylingSayz could be on the list
Good morning all Now looking forward to every Leeds game with excitement,rather than dread.I think Docs quote above pretty well sums up,this is how most Leeds fans,now feel about Bielsa. hard to put in order our three best players this season thus far,as whoever i say,i will think damn should have put him in,because they all deserve a mention from the massive turnaround,basically none are recognizable from last season,but anyway 1.Klich 2.Ayling 3.Roof See already i'm thinking Hernandez ELLAND IT'S BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE Joking apart the biggest most important signature/improvement on last year by far is the acquisition of Bielsa,for without him,we would not be pondering the above question.
I wish people would stop mentioning this,makes me most uncomfortable ,but what SANE manager would pass up a chance to be at the helm of Manure,but wait a minute
Morning all, Top 3 is easy, & would delight The Don, Billy et al. 1. Side 2. Side 3. Side Self doesn't even get in the squad! MOT
If he goes to that lot taking his whole entourage with him including the bucket it would be an absolute disaster
