    Good Morning. It's Wednesday 17th June, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road.


    How many points do Leeds need to finish on for automatic promotion?


    The Championship season recommences in just three days (or four days for special clubs) and the signs of anguish are beginning to show with fans. Sixteen years of torture, torment (and treachery from previous owners) have taken its toll, not only on the club but its loyal army of followers.

    Leeds find themselves with a 7 point cushion, but with 27 points to play for, the chasing pack will not make it easy for Bielsa.

    We need to bear in mind that since the Whites returned to the Championship in 2010 they have only averaged 9.2 points over their last nine games. Even with Bielsa at the helm last season, he averaged 10 points.

    How many points do Leeds need to finish on for automatic promotion.

    Blades Manager takes dig at Bielsa


    Sheffield Utd's Manager Chris Wilder has taken a sly dig at Marcelo Bielsa over Spygate almost 18 months ago.

    Speaking ahead of their forthcoming game against Aston Villa, the former Northampton, Oxford Utd, Halifax and Alfreton Town Manager was quoted as saying:-

    “Without giving our team away, we’ve played a certain way all season only really switching the boys at the top of the pitch,”

    “When Dean gets the team sheet on Wednesday, I don’t think he’s going to be scratching his head and wondering about what shape we’re going to be playing.

    “Without doing a Marcelo and peering over fences at Bodymoor Heath, we can say exactly the same thing about them.

    “If he (Bielsa) had done that here, I think the outcome might have been a little bit different from what happened at Derby, though.

    “Have you seen the size of our security guards? Joking aside, though, I still found it pretty amusing.”

    Leeds season ticket holders to be emailed unique code to watch Leeds games via LUTV.

    Leeds season ticket holders who chose the Club Bundle as part of their season ticket rebate will be provided with a unique code to enable them to watch all of the remaining nine games for free on LUTV.

    The voucher codes, along with detailed instructions are in the process of being sent out. The Club are advising fans to log in straight away to ensure that the package is working properly.

    Those who live in the UK or Eire will not be able to purchase the package due to Sky Sports having the rights for the games.

    Fans everywhere are able to listen to live audio commentary via LUTV for 99p via a Weekly Pass.

    Think 10 pts would be enough if three of them are against Fulham.

    Morning all. Cant look beyond first two games tbh. Even a couple of draws would be ok but that's probably least likely outcome. Even Guadiola says he doubts his players will be able for the demands of two games a week. Suggests hell need to rotate squad to reduce injuries. We've already lost two and with such a small squad, Im worried injuries could have a huge effect on us. Therefore a must that we accumulate the points early, don't want to see us going into last two or three games needing a lot of points

    Morning all.

    Non season ticket holders can pay for non-Sky games on LUTV though I think ? £10 a time I heard.

    Morning all,

    When we are, hopefully, in the same league as Wilder next season then I will let our team explain to Wilder what I think about his comments.

    9 games, 27 points, sorted.

    I have a concern about LUTV. If, as I suspect, a lot of fans are watching then are they sure that their system will be able to cope.

    good morning to matt and co from a dull Bardsey
    Looks like we are after Rose from Coventry aged 24 and from Ayr as played well all season
    I think 4 wins will be enough provided we don't lose to Fulham

    Latest covid-19 test results for championship clubs released today at 12 noon.

    8 positive from 6 clubs.

    Which means the potential for another pause and then subsequently the season being decided on PPG average is still very much a possibilty. Every match could therefore be the last one for this season and so each game becomes absolutely vital for all clubs, not just ours.

    We don't know whether it's players or other staff who are the ones testing positive as that information is being kept confidential. This weekends match day squads though will shed some light on who is fit and available and who's not, especially with the increase in substitutes and players on the bench.

    Furthermore, as far as I'm aware there have been no recent reports of anyone being seriously ill with covid-19 from within the football industry. That has to be a positive towards completing the season but if a player from any League was to feel really unwell then that would almost certainly be that.

    Just hope it's not any of ours, lose a Phillips or White and I will be worried.

    The Villa game as just kicked off.

    All 22 players, referee and linesman all took the knee in support of 'Black Lives Matter',

    Morning Jonny,

    Thanks for your email. Yes we are acutely aware of the challenge. The service is actually delivered by the EFL through their ifollow platform and we are working with them and their technical partners in trying to ensure that the bandwidth is big enough and the technology robust enough. We know how important it is for our supporter to get right.

    black lives matter collects the pass from black lives matter, evades the challenge from black lives matter, passes to black lives matter who shoots , and scores past black lives matter.
    and still Grealish falls over.
