.............................................................................Leeds Utd V QPR ................................Sat 8th December@3pm .............................Streaming links to follow
Hi Folks
QPR are the visitors to Elland Road on Saturday as Leeds aim to maintain their fine form. They have won 6 out of their last 7 games.
Stuart Dallas and Liam Cooper join Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi on the treatment table.
All are expected back in January.
There is better news for long term absentees Patrick Bamford and Izzy Brown.
Both players have minutes under their belts for the U23's. Don't be surprised to see both on the bench on Saturday.
Norwich will need to beat Bolton to ensure the Canaries stay top of their perch; if they don't Leeds will be hovering.

QPR seem to have a 'win some, lose some' cycle this season.
They started badly, had a decent run and have now fallen away again.
No game in the Championship is easy but I expect us to win.

If your defence is weak lets make sure they can't ignore our offence..Forshaw adds bite in front of the back four and can eliminate the runs through the middle then the attacking threat from Saiz, Hernandez, Roofe and Clarke hopefully means that QPR can't come at us at strength
Dead ball situations esp. corners then become our biggest problem, we need to limit those.
The other possibility is if Halme can play right back, he's a good footballer with ball at feet so it's not to big a leap for him..can't be slower than Dallas either

As most teams come to defend in numbers we could possibly go a back 3 of Halme, Jansson and Douglas, with Forshaw and Phillips just in front and leave the rest as you put them, would give Klich more freedom going forward, where he is most dangerous

Coming up on the train Friday, staying in the Clayton and back on Sunday! Always look forward to this weekend (pre Xmas) will be in the Scarborough for 12ish , gone for a 3 nil win on the super 6 but should know better as it’s never that easy with Leeds!

Booked early and always get a good deal with the hotel and train, will check the Grove out but like to get up to town to get a bet on! Hopefully between the 4 of us we will get a winner and William Hill will subsidise us!! Thanks for the info by the way
I think we will batter QPR tomorrow, starting to really belive this is our season now, so much bad luck has gone against us and we’re still flying high, feelings like that are never a good sign as a Leeds fan!

QPR tend to play 1 up top I think, so it'll either be Halme and Jansson with Phillips in front, or Jansson, Halme and Phillips...
Shackleton will be in at RB and I suspect that Alioski will start again. Clarke looks too good off the bench/not fit enough for 90 minutes.
Will be interesting to see if Brown and Bamford make the bench. Apparently Brown looked good on the left for the u23s against Newcastle, so that's another option if Alioski has another down half.
Let's hope that we get into them early and settle my nerves this time!
Is this one being streamed on red button?
