Hi Folks

Leeds make the 100 mile trip down the M1 to the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday afternoon to face Stoke City.

Bielsa has already named the same team that trounced Derby last Friday night at Elland Road barring any last minute injuries obviously.

Bailey Peacock Farrell will remain between the sticks, at least until Bielsa has had time to evaluate Kiko Casilla.

Izzy Brown may be given a space on the bench.

Patrick Bamford is a week away from making the subs bench.

Berardi will play for the under 23's next week on the come back trial to fitness.




How will Spy gate effect the players?




Do we expect the opposition to up their game?

Does this happen anyway when clubs play Leeds?

Love the way Marcelo names his team days prior to a game

Kiko not had a training session with his new teammates yet

I think Izzy is a few weeks off being on contention, Bielsa said he wanted him to have 6 u 23 games, if he’s coming back to form I reckon it’ll be less

Fecks sake we have been spied on and now Stoke will know who is in our team and who will be taking set pieces. Can't believe the press managed to infiltrate Bielsa's press conference.

I'm looking forward to seeing what a difference Kiko makes. As much as I applaud BPF's efforts so far this season and how bright I think his future will be, age benefits a keeper most of all. It's not just the little mistakes that experience helps eliminate, it's the organisation of the defence particularly during opposition set pieces and that's something BPF just can't bring to the table yet.

As far as Stoke goes, I'm a natural optimist but I think the team will go out and fight for Bielsa harder than ever after this week, like loyal legionaries defending their Caesar until death. Stoke will need to have surgery on their pride come Sunday.

Had a look on the Stoke forum, general consensus is a cricket score which worries me. I remember 74.

Yes 29 games unbeaten, all looking rosy after 20 minutes with 2 goals to the good then it all went pear shaped, couldn't believe my eyes :shock:

Great to see so many players making their way back. Things can only get better with more options.

I genuinely believe Marcelos actions will spur the boys on even more this week. I have a few neutral friends who watched the Derby game and they have been saying that Leeds and Liverpool have been the best two sides to watch in England this season. Its hard to believe that outside of Harrison, it is the same team that finished 13th last season.

I've never been prouder to be a whites man.

Leeds 2-0

I still think Stoke are a better side than their position suggests but they do seem to be in transition to the tactics wanted by the new manager, think we’ll just about come out on top. I’m sure as others have said that the whole circus around MB will spur the lads on to even greater things and there will be a desire to stick it to all the press who have come up with all sorts of horse manure this week.

Squad starting to look strong with players due back -add Bamford, Brown, Berardi, Phillips and Dallas in to the mix and we look solid. Kiko is a great addition, BPF done well but he will add another dimension to our defence.

Stoke definitely have better players than their league position suggests and as shown when Swansea played their best game of the season against us teams can and will raise their game against us. Hopefully Bielsa will have all the players focused and we go out and play well.

I wonder :duno: After everything that's happened this week, is this the week we go out and hand out a good thrashing?

They're on what, their fourth manager in 12 months, with the whiff of relegation still hanging about the place.

I like Jones, but he's got his work cut out to turn around a very disjointed squad, at a level he has only just begun to adapt to.

Their main problems are in defence, from what I can see, despite Butland. I think we'll batter them.

Stoke lads consider their Centre Backs cart horses. Williams and Shawcross if they play couldn't turn on a manhole cover. Roofe hopefully will run them ragged.. 🤔🤞

It will probably galvanize us like the -15 season. Hope so anyway, now that would be something.
