    Good Morning Everyone

    Bamford looks set to miss the final game of the season and the first leg of the play offs after being charged by the FA for simulation.

    Who should take Bamford's place if Roofe is not fit?

    Brown? - Its a familiar role that he has played in before

    Dallas? He may be injured, but we all know how much Bielsa likes the Northern Ireland utility player!

    Edmondson - A natural goalscorer, but a big step up for the 17yo.




    Leeds U23's will face Birmingham City in the PDL 2 play-off final.

    Birmingham thrashed Ipswich 3-0 last night, arguably their best performance of the season!




    Bristol City beat Millwall at the Den last night to keep pressure on Derby County and the last play off position!

    The Robins are currently 8th on 69 points, having played 45 games.

    Boro are 7th on 70 points - again having played 45 games.

    Derby are also on 70 points, but with a better goal difference, and they have a game in hand.

    A draw against Ipswich will be enough to cement 3rd place for Leeds.

    Who out of the three, would you like to play in the play offs?

    Morning all :emoticon-0148-yes:

    What will be will be, so for me I'm not going to dwell on the play off formula except to say that on paper we are streets ahead of any of the teams we may play. Thats based upon results this season and only firing blanks has caused this.

    The U23s have done fantastic and Corberan .........

    If Brown is fit I would use him up top against Ipswich, knowing I had Roofe on the bench.

    Morning all,

    When Bamford and Roofe were both out earlier in the season Roberts played in the lone striker role and actually scored a few. I see no reason why this wouldn't be the case again.

    Morning all.


    I'd day Roberts wil get the nod, like he did earlier in the season for a few games, when they both were injured.

    Just don't want Derby, getting them would bring up all the spygate stuff again, which we could do without

    ALL I CAN SAY IS THE FA IS CORRUPT, MAKE IRREGULAR DECISIONS AND ARE BIASED TOWARDS LEEDS UNITED.
    WE NEED TO RING IT OUT FROM THE TERRACES INTHE PLAYOFFS.

    good morning to Matt and co from a dull Bardsey
    I think that Brown should be given the nod on Sat with Roberts operating on the wing
    Hourihane gets away with a punch not right in my opinion
    I hope AR has got someone who will invest in the clubas we surely can't afford another Dan James mess up
    I believe WBA play at Derby on Sat but if Derby win at Swansea they will be playing us
    Can't believe I have now got gout in my fingers never heard of this before

    So what's different this season to the last few seasons?

    1. Our games are watched all around the world now and especially after the Villa game
    2. Bielsa has a cult following and his techniques studied and reported upon weekly
    3. He has every pundit, armchair fan, sports journo talking about him and Leeds Utd
    4. Bielsa is the most marketable person in world football right now and reckon some top teams will be trying to lure him away.
    5. Are squad of Joe average from last season are competing at the top
    6. Our Academy can now compete with the best
    7. Our kids are being blooded unlike kids from top tier clubs
    8. 17 year old kids on the bench
    9. However much we pay Bielsa I reckon he has repaid it with interest in gate receipts, merchandise, TV rights
    10. I'm happy with our club again

    If only we can now put the icing on the cake,what an incredible season it would have been,instead of a nearly season,fingers & just about everything else crossed for the play offs,as it was only disastrous results against poor sides that cost us auto's.

    We might well do, anythings possible. A colossal waste of resources. Next season we need to start signing fit players ready to play from day one, not crocks trhat take two months to get match fit or worse still crocks that are never fit

    Mentioned it a few times now, but Bolton are now in serious trouble as the Bassini Group have failed in doing a deal. The old De Vere Whites hotel at the ground has been closed today, the EFL have told Bolton to field a team for Sunday but some players have left the club and some kids who the EFL told Bolton to use are out on loan or having trials elsewhere. Its a fooking catastrophe and according to Alan Nixon the results will not be expunged if they fail to comply. That alone is a joke as those results effect promotion and relegation
