[size=150]Hi Folks
The Wendies are the visitors to Elland Road on Saturday for an early evening kick off.
With 5 games left and only a point separating West and South Yorkshire's finest, will the blue side of Sheffield want to do the Blades a favour?
Leeds have no new injury worries. Alioski and Jansson both picked up superficial battle wounds in their 2-0 win at Deepdale in midweek, but not enough to keep either off the field of play for more than a moment!
Expect to see Bamford spearhead Leeds attack following his goal brace. This will mean that Roofe will have to make do with a place on the bench!
The Owls currently occupy 10th place in the championship, six points from the play offs. If they stand any hope of the top six, they will have to try to topple Leeds![/size]
Harrison will start but we wouldn't be any worse if he didn't.
I really thought this season what with Cooper not getting sent of for a change we had improved our fair play.
But as it happens we are 22 out of 24 just like 17/18!
My my my, such a lot of guns around town and so few brains
As far as I can work out (anyone remember how many goals/assists Roberts got while Roofe was out for the first time, think it was 2 and 1) we have 24 goals 6 assists from the striker position this season. Think that's as good a haul as anybody

I would love to see two strikers for a change but I wouldn't sacrifice any of our central midfielders. Same formation again, give Bamford and Harrison 60 minutes then get on Clarke and Roofe.
Massive pressure weekend ahead, especially as the late kick off means both clubs go into the game with a better idea of what the worst possible outcome is.
I have been fretting over this fixture ever since I saw that Bruce had managed to change they dynamic at Hillsborough. Confidence is high for both teams at the minute coming off clean sheet victories mid week.
If Wednesday go with 4-4-2 and press us our two wing backs will really need to be on their game.
Re Harrison. I am just hoping we see him imposing himself on the game in the final third. It all looks a bit frantic at time.
I reckon this will be a draw.

Same starting line up including Harrison, so once again whatever moves develop down his flank will just fizzle out when he continues to lose the ball.......exasperated by his inclusion !!
Personally I think MB has an agreement with Pep that he plays regular to keep him in the 'window' so to speak. Surely MB doesn't seriously think he's a real quality player ?
What he is is decent defensively which while we're starting Alio at LB cannot be underestimated. He just fits MB's system right now, at least the Plan A system. If he scores the winner to take us up who'll complain then...Kind of hope he does you know

That knot in my stomach which disappeared last week after we lost to Brum is back again but this time it has brought its mates with it.
Agony following Leeds this season.
