    Hi Folks

    Leeds will defend the slenderest of leads back to fortress Elland Road for the second leg of the Semi Final Play offs without key striker Kemar Roofe.

    The Whites leading scorer picked up a calf injury during the first leg, and with Bielsa having one eye on Wembley, does not want to risk further damage.

    Bielsa also stated at his presser earlier today that Roberts, Alioski and Forshaw would all be ruled out of the final at Wembley, should Leeds make it!

    Jansson who Bielsa described as the best player in the Championship has a 50/50 chance of starting. Berardi, who had a faultless game on Saturday is on standby. Interestingly, at today's presser, Bielsa described Berardi as indispensable!

    Young Jamie Shackleton will deputise for Forshaw. Could this be a blessing in disguise?

    Derby forward Martyn Waghorn is still a doubt after missing the first leg with an Achilles tendon injury.

    No side has lost at home in the first leg and gone on to the final!

    Don’t You just fcking hate stats like that. Just tempting fate. Bit like that, ‘Leeds win every game when they score first’ stat that went out of the window at home to 10 man Wigan.

    Roofe will be a big loss, it’s a chance for a couple of the U23s to step up and become heroes

    With Roof out I'm not so sure I'd want Bamford in. I think Edmondson would create a bigger impact and put more of an effort in, plus, he can run faster than Bamford.

    What utter nonsense!

    Play a hugely inexperienced young lad who's never started a competitive match in a tie like this? <yikes>

    Best you stick to crap 'keeper assessments, methinks. <doh>

    Morning matey. You’ve watched him a lot first hand at u23s, do you think he’s ready for a sub appearance if needed?

    Sub, yes, but only if necessary. Don't think he's a game changer yet.

    Start. Laughable. Could ruin his career.

    Off the bench, guess our attacking options will be Clarke and maybe Brown then, in the absence of an out an out striker.

    How's Clarke been doing. When I went away middle of last month, he looked done for the season for me. Has he picked up, or still a deadweight?

    Looks like he's totally lost it, not the same player since his illness. Appears to have no energy and zero confidence.

    I wish we'd have kept the Roofe injury under wraps, Derby would be training on how to keep Roofe quiet, then an hour before kick off, they see he's not playing, would have thrown Franks 'meticulous planning' into disarray.
    Joking aside, I think we've given them a helping hand announcing this.

    Thought he was ok on Saturday and think back playing with the U21's and winning the cup has helped - but before that he was shot - there was one game, Brentford I think, where he couldn't even do the basics - could see the pain on his face and Bielsa was trying to reassure and calm him.

    Which is why Bamford should def start tomorrow.

    Roofe could play apparently.....injury not as bad as first thought.....so maybe that's the double bluff.

    Danny Mills stated ' “There is a chance Roofe will play. The calf injury is maybe not as serious as they thought it might be. They may well risk him tomorrow.

    Don’t rule it out. If he has a good chance to play, go with it. They would still have 12 days to get him fit for the final.”
