Sounds good to me Scoops. Happy Days. They say love is a drug, well then I feel well drugged up about our beloved team tonight. I just hope I wake up to read that Monky man has signed a 15 year contract

Ditto that, Monky man, Pep and Beatts are the three wise men and have already done enough to be given the opportunity to lead us for years to come.

You know what gelderd, I'm inclined to agree think it Will be tough to dislodge the seagulls but if we keep improving the way we have been as a squad and the momentum with us, with Albion still to come to the fortress where we can even things up it just might just might be possible mate 😎 MOT brother.

This time last year a headed goal was a rare breed indeed, and more likely to concede from a breakaway than score from a corner. Now players and fans buzzing. Tonight had too many men of the match to single one out. Euphoric, won't sleep tonight. Watching recording on loop.

missed the game but watched the build up and saw wood interview, was gutted when he spoke funny but not northern, my wife explained he was from new zealand and i was gutted i thought he would be starting up front for england on current form? does english being his first language make him eligiable?

OMG this is really getting real. How many years have we been waiting for this? Monky magic rules. A nice welcome for Mr Radrizanni as well. Great job everyone on the pitch, especially Woody, you have shown strength of character to prove your true worth.

How good was that game so many good performances from the players, a real game plan about to play from Monk and executed by the players, Hernandez, Bridcutt and Viera are a outstanding partnership in the middle of the park, Doukara looked a different player than at Cambridge, should have scored more but bearing in mind it was a Derby team with good players who we made look very ordinary, cannot moan too much and all done without 4 quality players. Just need to keep playing like this add a couple of quality players and get in those automatic play off positions. What a transformation from 12 months ago

Believable3 Unbelievable0

13 Jan 2017 21:51:44
what a game. We played them off the pitch and had our own mini messi pulling the strings. An untroubled cobbled together defence. We are so near the end of the rainbow. However. Yes, I know he scored (again) but Wood had another all round poor game, filled with missed chances and missed passes. Keep scoring Chris and I will keep overlooking your many faults.

Didn't see the game but was checking the updates every minute. Seems Leeds played well and I find it incredible that they never had an offside. That to me is another plus for Monk and his staff.

Sheffield Wednesday have signed striker Sam Winnall from Championship rivals Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Jan 2017 12:28:55
Two questions. Will Nugent play tonight and will he score? If he plays I would back him to score. Normally I would add particularly if Cooper plays. Cooper will always give a goal away or at least a good chance at this level. However, given Jansson is definitely out I would prefer Cooper to Ayling at the centre back position - if fully fit. Ayling, Cooper, Bartley Berardi is my preferred choice but they will concede - provided of course Derby take the chances they will undoubtedly be offered. Coyle, Ayling Bartley, Berardi is a weaker option and even more likely to concede. I believe we will have to score to get a draw and get two or possibly three for a win.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

13 Jan 2017 14:44:14
Remains to be seen as to whether Nugent plays, he's only started one game this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 14:26:27
if only we still had bellischi hey hess?

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 17:49:40
Belusci was poor off the pitch but better than Cooper or Bamba on it. My point all along was that on the pitch he should be picked before the other three if you include Wooten. I always said none of them were good enough only some were better than others. Cooper's and Bamba's performances since he left have proved it. Bermondsey you actually said Bamba was good. Enough said.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 17:54:06
I think Ayling would be preferable to Cooper, he is an accident waiting to happen every game

Agree3 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 18:54:32
bamba was pure class while on loan i think everyone agrees it was just after he was signed he turned into a donkey carrying a anvil after he was signed. For me cooper is better than bellend all day long, he couldn't pass he couldn't tackle, he made bad choices, he was a one man team and was always a moment away from a card, for me personally he is in my top five most hated leeds players in my life time

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 12:27:15
Hi people, really looking forward to the game tonight, think its going to be tight, we really must turn up in the first half or they will punish us for sure, with us probably looking like we will have to play a makeshift back 4 it will be crucial we are on the front foot from the off and will need bridders and possibly o Kane to be strong and protect the defence for this one, would love a 2-0 comfortable win but would settle for a draw as the onus is on them to come at us as they need to close the gap on us, woody and roofe to score is my wish for tonight mot brothers 😎💪

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Jan 2017 14:28:22
tonight is so hard to call, i fancy us to win, would take the draw and think we will lose. so yet to make my mind up. if we win it will be a real statement but then we have been making them for a while, if we lose it is not the end of the world, as someone put earlier ain't it great to be worried about falling out of pomorotion rather than falling out of the division. normally by now our season is already over so this does make a nice change

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 18:24:35
Isn't it great that even if we lose we will still be in a play off spot. Am hoping for a win though that will bring us closer to automatic. MOT.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 09:13:42
Very Important game tonight. Not necessarily the most important of the season but I think possibly the biggest test for Monk given our injuries and suspensions. If he gets it right tonight, and they come out with a win, then we truly can dare to dream

Agree3 Disagree2

13 Jan 2017 13:17:38
I was thinking the same thing, win today and I can dream of a play-off place, the right teams lose tomorrow and maybe, just maybe automatic would be a distant dream coming closer :) see ya tonight DD102, North Stand

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 15:02:26
A draw wouldn't be the worst result. Obviously depends on who will play at centre half with Barkley, but if it's Cooper, then he's due a fault free game. If it's Ayling, then we'll lose out on his surging runs. I'd love the win but hopefully we'll not be beaten. Derby are a good team so any points won would be good.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 14:34:35
i agree again speedy for a change, leeds diamond i love your enthusiasim and love where you are coming from however i don't think thinking leeds will lose will make you less of a leeds fan maybe just less chance of being certified! I think we could lose tonight but hope for win.

I have often thought we are going to lose (under Hock i was conviced we would never win) but i still always loved leeds and i think being a true fan is expecting the loss then watching the loss and taking it on the chin and loving your team anyway. I often liken leeds to my wife and leeds are a lot like my wife, i know there are many women out there who are better, i even know i could do better but i have picked my wife and love her regardless of her faults or the fact she has put on weight and is the wrong side of 30.

difference is (as i often tell her) i will always love leeds where she is just one more burnt dinner away from a divorce

ID LIKE now peoples pinioned rerding Taylor. I'd say by now he's middle of the pack for a premier league team in terms of quality. Monk has said many times that he refuses to sell and is reporting to have declined 3 £7m bids from premier league teams. This could be positive in the thinking that he could be a solid player for us IF monks intentions for us are to make the top flight, or it could be negative in that we've just lost out on £7m for a lad currently injured and 6 months away from possibly leaving if we don't go up.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Jan 2017 09:14:19
Won't we be eligible for compensation, like Burnley got for ings? If we are anyone know how much that would be? perhaps we'd get nearly £7m in comp for him and monk knows that, so wouldn't be loosing out really and we get to keep him for the important run in

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - if he moves to another team in the English league you would either agree a compensation deal between the clubs or go to a tribunal to decide the fee.}

13 Jan 2017 09:27:36
Ed is the fee likely to be around the £7m mark, or do the fees tend to be peanuts?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it really depends on the player. Ings got a huge fee due to being a regular Prem player and having an England call up for the full side. Taylor is likely to be a bit less, though not much so as he has been a regular for Leeds. Remember you will retain a percentage of any future sell ons he will get throughout his career under the regs these days as well. 5% is automatically now divided between the clubs that developed a player as a youth player. So there are future payments potentially to come as well.}

13 Jan 2017 09:37:40
Thanks ed, you really are a fountain of knowledge! So back to the original post, perhaps monk has compo in mind if he leaves, but if we go up I think he'll stay.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I would think the club is pretty sure that compensation would come to more than has been offered. It makes sense to hold on, if that is the case.}

13 Jan 2017 09:46:39
Agreed. for once we appear to be In a win win situation in regards to selling a player.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jan 2017 14:37:46
that is a good point, i think we should sell taylor and invest, i also have been told he is not injury but being kept safe for the sale (although this was to palace and that seems to of died of death) but think he will go. I think we should sell him for anything over 5 million more than what we would get compensation.

Although I know a leeds fan whoes brother knows taylor well (i know my uncle dog ate his mums cat etc) but anyway this fella reckons he is leeds through and through and if we go up he is convinced he will sign for us providing we try and make a go in the prem. one can dream!
