    Good Morning Everyone

    West Brom and Forest played out a 2-2 draw last night whilst Bristol City extended their unbeaten run to nine games by beating QPR 2-1.

    The Blades entertain Boro this evening, and of course Leeds host Swansea City.

    If ever there was a must win game - this is it!




    Leeds U23's lost against Sheffield Wednesdays U23's yesterday at Hillsborough 1-0.

    One player expected to start, was not even named in the squad!

    New signing Mateusz Bogusz, 17, was expected to play the entire 90 minutes.

    The talented Polish youth International, who plays as a winger may be a surprise inclusion this evening!




    Adam Forshaw has not got over the knock he sustained a week ago, and will miss tonight's game.

    Thank goodness we have Phillips!

    Morning all <ok>

    Izzy Brown on the bench again tonight after playing the first half for the U23s yesterday

    Tonight's game will have a lot of tension because of the behavior of Swansea last month. I'm hoping we go straight for jugular and bang in 3 quick goals before blowing them away. Lets face it some team is in for a battering before long and we are due another performance

    A lot of bunching at the top of the table means a lot of teams are dropping points and some are being more than lucky in scraping draws from dubious penalties from clear dives. We have still only had 1 penalty in well over 12 months which is a joke as some have had 5 or 6 this season. Our next 8 are all winnable and if we can do it we will be in the comfort zone of knowing we have games in hand to get another couple of wins to guarantee automatic promotion. I know glass half full <cheers>

    I cannot understand why Bielsa gives his teams out days before the KO?

    Morning all, Perhaps it's more for internal team reasons than giving anything away to the opposition. Lets face it if Alioski is named who knows where he will be playing, except goalkeeper

    Morning all...

    I’d pick Phillips ahead of Forshaw without a moments hesitation so if someone “had” to be injured then at least it’s the lesser of the two.

    I understand Brown playing 45 minutes for fitness but he was unused last time, I’d be amazed if he makes an appearance tonight so surely 90 minutes for the U23s would have been better?

    I’m just waiting for someone to put a spurt on, if anyone from here on in can string 4-5 games together with maximum points you’d imagine the gap would be enough with everyone slipping up over one another.

    If we can beat Swansea and the Blades get no more than a point against Boro I’ll sleep better tonight

    Morning everyone i never lose sleep over football. Two form teams are Norwich and bristol surely one has to slip up sometime. Cant see anyone beating readings total when they ran away with the league. If norwich win at preston then they are serious contenders to top the leauge.
    Nothing less than a win will do surely we can see off Swansea. If not i fear play offs at best.

    This was posted on various media sites yesterday based on the 'super computer' prediction. :emoticon-0104-surpr:emoticon-0104-surpr

    Morning all. If Bogusz plays tonight he must really have impressed the coaches. From the brief clip we saw on the board he looked a mature intelligent lad who can play a bit. Hope Jack Clark gets some good news this week but it looked serious.

    That's a really stupid prediction











































    Millwall being safe from relegation by 14 points. So called "Super Computer" has no idea :D

    Can't be dropping more points at ER if we are looking at automatic promotion

    Win tonight & a victory v Bolton would make a statement to our championship contenders that we are not falling apart

    Thanks heavens for that, I get the impression Bielsa favours & would start with with Forshaw.

    Will be interesting to see if he has a change of heart should we win our next two games.

    Win three consecutive games with KP as our DM , surely he couldn't drop KP

    Perhaps he failed the performance tests ref his fitness. Its a big difference from polski sausage league to our u23s standard.

    Good Morning to Matt and co from Wetherby Library .Yes Open Reach has still not put new cables in promising to come each day but nothinghappens
    Sad news about Gordon Banks yesterday but the funny thing is he never played well at ER dont know why
    Surely Issie must be ready now and will Daniel play into tonights fixture you can already guess he will score!
    Bogusz too could well be on the bench best of luck to him!

    The Polish kid won't be ready yet I imagine. He needs to up his fitness, maybe even lose a pound or two plus learn whichever role Bielsa wants him to learn. He needs Bielsaball and 2 weeks off the plane won't be enough?

    I think BT will send you a 4g mobile internet dongle in the meantime if you ask, so you can still get online. For free of course.
