Ouchy.

i was going to throw a paddy like a 3 year old having his most valued toy tken off him.

you know start jumping waving my hands about etc crying about how life is against me.

but then i thought nah, i dont want to look like that old scottish See you next tuesday did 2 weeks ago!

It's not his fault. He wasn't expecting it. He isn't used to not getting things his way.

Maybe hes got bird flu or drunk some red bull

The fergie "funky chicken"



Quality!

Leeds Reserves have won the league after winning tonight 1-0

CHAMPIONES CHAMPIONES!!

1,000 allocation if we get Millwall, which now looks a certainty

I don't mind I won't be going to the away leg anyway.

I have no problem playing Millwall over 2 legs. I'd just rather it this year that we get home advantage for the 2nd leg!

Right, as some of you may realise, my club kind of need a massive favour from you lot on Saturday.

How likely are you to field the reserves?

OMG I hope we play our under 14s.

I'd expect a full team out. We need to continue our momentum going into the play-offs, and we're on a run of 10 home wins on the trot. A run which hasn't been bettered for 40 years or so. The last team to win at ER was carlisle ironically enough

Agree with all of that. We have 4th place to play for too!

Just looking at the run of form we have been in, does anyone think that the injury to Richardson and Hughes was the best thing to happen to Leeds this season with Douglas at RB and Kilkenny in midfield, or is that just more of a coincidence with the team as a whole playing better now Grayson's got settled in

Kilkenny has been outstanding since he's had an extended run in the team.

Richardson was arguably the weakest link in the team and was then made captain. Probably the worst mistake Macca did and only gave it to him because he's our longest serving player. Think Macca was just too nice and he didn't have the balls to drop him as captain never mind drop him from the team. Also Sheehan getting injured and Dickinson doing a cracking job helped alot and Ben Parker has been improving game after game after getting a run in the team.

Kilkenny and Douglas just wasn't working in the midfield when they were playing together and Kilkenny has really come into his own since Dougie switched to right back. Quite a masterstroke as I thought Dougie would just be as poor as Frazer in that position.

Not sure about Hughes though, he's an every position man but does anyone know what his best or favoured position is cos I don't know. He's just been given a 1 year extension so he must be in Graysons plans somewhere but he's more of an impact player coming off the bench then a player who would get in the first 11 every week

The first XI came about much by accident I'd say, the Douglas/Delph CM looked good on paper but they rarely gelled in matches, then Dougie went to RB to fill in for Frazer. Robbo got injured which meant Delph went out wide.

We were left with Killa and Howson together I must admit I thought it wouldn't work and would be too lightweight. I WAS TOTALLY WRONG it's a brilliant partnership controlling most games, working their balls off and getting forward too.

Funny how these things work out, just 4 more games and we're on the road back.

Technically only need 1 win to take us up. THough would prefer 4

I agree our best side sort of came together by accident, but Richardson gets a lot of undeserved stick. He isn't the best in the world but at this level he isn't that bad. When he was playing the defence was shocking as a unit. The major change was the signing of Naylor That one signing not only got the defence more organised, but gave more protection to the midfield.

If we go up this season I think the signing of Naylor will prove to be one of the best moves at Leeds for a few years.

Funny you should mention that, my Cobblers supporting mate sent me a text just before 10pm last night, asking if we could put the youth team out

After the taunting the Carlisle fans gave us at the 1st leg last year I'd love to send them down.

Exxxxxxactly.

And we didn't give them any back after the 2nd leg??

Loads. I really want them to go down. Quite badly.

Never been quite bothered about them tbh.

Don't have a preference who goes down really, I doubt the league will miss any of the teams!
