    Good Morning Everyone,

    Leeds will be without Berardi for eight weeks after a scan on the defender’s injured ankle revealed a torn ligament.

    Why couldn't it have happened to Wootton? Why did it have to have happened to one of our best players?

    Surely this means Evans will have no option but to play Sam Byram.




    Cellino has entered the dressing room twice during games in recent weeks to alter the team's formation, according to a report in the Daily Star.

    He requested changes during the goalless draw with Charlton on Saturday, which saw Scott Wootton replaced by Gaetano Berardi three minutes after the restart.

    Speaking after the match, Evans urged supporters to set aside their unrest with Cellino and back the team.

    "I would just like to say, I understand the supporters' frustration, but I don't get involved in what's happening other than what's on the grass," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

    "But I'd just like to say whether the chairman turns up or whether he doesn't, just back the team for the 90 minutes."




    Leeds league record since Cellino arrived:

    P: 85

    W: 26

    D: 22

    L: 37

    Pts: 100

    Full time managers: 6

    Average games per manager: 14.16

    Better or worse than you thought?

    Good morning Matt

    Exactly as I thought.
    Over a 46 game league season that would see us get 54 points. Is that good enough for you guys?

    Evans is due for the chop and if we dont get three points or more from our next two games he is gone.

    I did learn something yesterday:
    Given that a killer ball can be delivered miles from the intended target and still be a killer ball Silvestri truely will be a Leeds great.
    Realising this has explained why I disagree with some of our experts so often.

    Morning all. I watched the Leicester game last night and what a breath of fresh air they are this season. Gave Chelsea a right runaround and both teams league positions are no flukes. Our former keeper is now on top of pl but of course wasn't good enough for us when we had him according to some of our knowledgeable fans.

    Good morning to Matt and co .Can we do a Leicester I don't see why not .They are certainly the team to copy slowly slowly not spending vasts amounts of money we just need stability and consistency and investment
    Wootton must be replaced by Byram for a start

    There's lots of those on here alright Eire. But IMO you can't compare him playing in that Leeds Utd side to playing in the PL how many years on. People do improve and he was a novice and learning his trade when he joined us. So I think it's a bit unfair having slight digs towards fellow supporters. You really have been hanging around for too long with (no names mentioned) a certain expert from Harrogate..:grin:..morning all by the way..<ok>

    Why not. However, for every Leicester or Southampton, well run outfits, there are dozens of car crash clubs like ours. One thing that disgusted me was during the end of match analysis two weeks back, the discussion was would Vardi be able to cut it with scum. Can they never leave well enough alone

    I always thought he was good for us, his second name was a disadvantage

    Stability?
    So Pearson is still in charge, I didn't know that.
    What I do know is that the King family have invested in the club and understand how to run a sporting business. Anyone see why we cant do the same?

    As i said yesterday we need a keeper that isn't learning his trade we need a finished article.
    A poor keeper costs you more points than a quality striker earns you.
    Did we learn nothing from the Gary Sprak experience? Without his gaffes how much more could we have won?

    Eh? Their owner put in £103M to get them to the Prem (since written off) and have spent another £80M since - have you been drinking from WJ's killer pass glass?
    If you think Cellino will spend similar on Leeds, you need to certify yourself now <ok>

    Morning all

    Leicester just shows you that if you get the right coach at the right team you're on fire. Granted you could look at Scum and say the complete opposite.

    I think Schmeichel probably did have a disadvantage thanks to who his dad was same with Alex Bruce.

    Got to agree with Glory you need a more experienced keeper starting than a young un. Keepers are like wine they get 'better with age'
