    Good Morning. It's Tuesday 29th October, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

    Will Leeds terminate Solomon loan

    BBC Radio Leeds journo journalist Jonny Buchan has intermated that the Whites could terminate Manor Solomon's loan spell in January!

    The 25yo has become the latest in a long line of Leeds players targeted on social media for so called inept performances, though in Solomon's case, you have to ask ourselves, is it warranted? He was the best player on the pitch during his debut against Hull, yet his unfortunate slip against Burnley (the following match) cost us the game.

    We knew what we were getting ourselves in for when signing him. He spent much of last season on the side-lines with major injury issues, which is the only reason why a player of his class would be allowed to drop to the Championship.

    The Israeli is one of only two players on loan this season, Rothwell being the other. There's an argument that not using up their loan allocation last season contributed to missing out on automatic promotion, with four wins from their last eleven games. It seems Leeds don't learn by their mistakes as it's painfully obvious that both Solomon and James have been bought back from injury far too quickly.

    “You wonder with Solomon whether he’s going to be able to get that time, and then you question do you keep him? Or do you send him back? “Then use that spot, I’m not saying they’re on the limit of their loans, they’re not, but do you use that pot that you’ve used money-wise to get someone else who can maybe have a bigger impact?”

    Young Whites flying high

    Leeds United U21s moved ahead of Chelsea, Newcastle United and Spurs after a 1-0 win away at Nottingham Forest last night.

    17yo Alfie Cresswell, the younger brother of Charlie was on target five minutes from time for Scott Gardner's side, as Leeds moved up to eighth in the Premier League 2 standings, with their fifth victory in a row from all competitions. First team fringe players James Debayo, Charlie Crew and Sam Chambers all started.

    Byram answers Farke's SOS

    Leeds utility man Sam Byram is set to keep his place in Daniel Farke's line-up despite Junior Firpo returning after a one match ban.

    The 31yo put in an impressive performance for the Whites during the 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate winning him a position in the Championship team of the week. His defensive skill-set are likely to be put to the test once again when Leeds travel down to Plymouth Argyle, though he's likely to switch flanks.

    Jayden Bogle picked up his fifth booking of the campaign at the weekend meaning he'll miss the trip down to the West Country. Byram started off as a left-back, though due to his versatility has operated on the right flank and in midfield over his twelve year career. Fans will be hoping he can replicate his performance against Bristol City.

    Morning all

    It makes no sense terminating Solomons loan, he’s coming back from injury so has been introduced slowly.

    Farke wants 4 wide attacking players in the squad, there will always be two favoured

    Good morning everyone! We got a glimpse of Solomon’s talent before he got injured. He’s a real gem, a top-notch player in the Premier League. It would be a huge mistake to send him back.

    We need to get back on track and win this Saturday. Plymouth might just be the team we beat heavily this season. We can’t let them get away with it if we score first. Our home record is good, so let’s keep it going!

    Morning all. Maybe fact were paying Soloman 50k a week might influence whether he's kept, especially if were getting limited use out of him. Saw an interesting stat that This is the 15th time Farke has had a full week with the team with no interruptions. We won 13 out of the other 14 so must be a sure bet for this weekend. Anyone idea what odds are we for the win

    Morning all, if he can get back fit and on form then there is no need to cancel as he is a level above when fit.

    But that's a big if it seems.
