Garry Monk presser


Lee Sobot:
Monk on Norwich draw: "A home draw is a good one. You always look for that. We are pleased to be in the next round."
Monk: "I think only Norwich have won 4 in a row, it shows how difficult it is to achieve that.
Monk on Chris Wood: "He came in for criticism earlier on this season which I didn't understand. I am pleased for him
Monk on clean sheets: "It's down to a lot of hard work. They are under no illusions as to how they have to perform
Monk: "We are not going to get complacent. There is a long, long way to go. We have to remain balanced.
Monk: "But we are working hard and it's great to see that at the moment it's paying off."
Monk on Ipswich: "It's going to be a big test and a very different type of test. Mick is a very experienced manager.
Monk calls for fans to create an "intimidating atmosphere" for Ipswich at Elland Road on Saturday in a bid to make it 4 wins in a row
Monk: "The fans have been brilliant with us. Home and away.
O'Kane picked up a knock on Tuesday but nothing to worry about
Monk said every player will be training tomorrow so a full squad to pick from
Monk: "There will be setbacks, but we have already shown that when there's a setback we can come through it."
Berardi not in contention to play this weekend, will likely play for 23s first. Monk has him in mind for after the international break
So in a nutshell, everyone is fit for Saturday - including Bridcutt and Jansson - but Berardi not in contention, too soon

Even Monk's pressers are rosy

[1964white]

Tractor boys Luke Varney and Teddy Bishop are both doubts for Saturday

[1964white]

Green

Ayling Bartley Jansson Taylor

Bridcutt O'Kane

Sacko Hernandez Dallas

Wood

[whiteswan]

Hope we smash the tractor boys! This is one of the worst games of the season for me living in the surrounds of Ipswich. Don't want to give them bragging rights.... Saying that I don't think it will be an easy game for us, but I think we will win

Never easy v a dour Ipswich side Swan, i agree think we'll win

[Gurj]

First goal absolutely critical me thinks.......all too often during the last 6-12 months of league games at ER we have had to come from behind to get anything out the game and very rarely got a win as a result.

Green

Ayling Bartley Jansson Taylor

Bridcutt O'Kane

Sacko Hernandez Dallas

Wood

That should be pretty much nailed on.

[1964white]

Phillips in for Vieira who must be injured. Bridcutt not recovered too

[1964white]

Subs : Silvestri, Coyle, Cooper, Grimes, Mowatt, Roofe, Antonsson

[1964white]

We could miss the likes of Bridcutt or Vieira in the middle of the park, both have energy & fire in their bellies

[1964white]

Hang on....I thought Monk said we have a fully-fit squad apart from Berardi

Lying toerag

[gessa]

Leeds have conceded in each of their last 11 home league games - their worst run since April 2012 (13 consecutive games).

Ipswich have scored just four goals in their last nine away league games, failing to score in five of those.

Five of the seven Championship goals Ipswich have conceded this term have been from set-pieces

First shot for Leeds well wide

A Sacko moment

[1964white]

Great effort from Chris Wood, hits the post

or as Thom Kirwin constantly refers to our No.9 Chris Woods

Can't someone tell the silly tw*t

[1964white]

Deflection nearly undoes us after giving away a stupid free-kick

[1964white]

Some nice play in the last few minutes

Hernandez pulling the strings

[1964white]

Leon Best coming on who nobbled Berardi when playing for Rotherham
