Leeds Utd v Bolton Wdrs Matchday Thread

Just read this..........."I want to be here for years. I want to be the guy that takes them to the Premier League." what a refreshing change from all the downbeat stuff we've heard from other coaches
On with the thread..............a trip to sunny Bolton this time, and hopefully a nice 3 points to take back to Leeds (as long as their goalkeeper doesn't have the game of his life )

Venue
Venue: Macron Stadium...Date: Saturday 24 October...Kick-off: 15:00hrs

Team News
Leeds United
Steve Evans will monitor striker Chris Wood (knock).
Evans has no major new injury concerns for his second game in the space of four days, but could be tempted to make changes given the quick turnaround.

Bolton
will be without winger Wellington Silva (hamstring) Midfielder Jay Spearing is doubtful (leg) to return just yet, while forward Zach Clough (shoulder) is a long-term injury absentee.

Well I'm feeling so much more optimistic after Wednesdays performance, if the team can replicate that on a regular basis i'll be more than happy .
Bolton have not won in three attempts at home to Leeds, their last win, 4-1 in May 2004, effectively relegated Leeds from the Premier League.
•Leeds have beaten Bolton 1-0 in three of the last five league encounters, most recently in August 2014.
•Indeed, Wanderers have won just once in their last 10 home league games with Leeds, losing six of those meetings (D3).
•Bolton have not kept a clean sheet in 12 home league games against the Whites, since a 4-0 win in August 1958.
(Again from the BBC website)

So come on, get your predictions in, I'm going for a cheeky 0-3 with Dallas and Ante (2) getting the goals....................

Over to You...............................

Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!
MOT

ps....I'm at work so will miss the game, feel free to update Team News etc

Dortmund lost all their pre season games the year try won the league (2013/14) pre season doesn't count for much.

We'd be a better position and won more games if Rosler with his negative tactics hadn't happened.

Blackburn next up at home and we HAVE to beat them. No excuses.

2day we were wasteful and had a keeper who made another critical error

No pace also cost us today. Cook is pacy but in key areas we have none.

You have to wonder why a side crying out for pace signed Wood and Dallas for nigh on £4.5m.

No wonder Rosler went.

We need to rebuild a team around Botaka and Cook and maybe Cooper but the rest are barely good enough.

Fair result from 2 teams lacking any quality. Can't see bolton staying up. They have given everything to get 9 points. Can't even look back at any games we were unlucky. Forest and Brighton injury time goals, could have been 7. Not going to stay up drawing at home and losing away.

I was a little unfair on wood. With the right ball service he can mix it up with the best of them although can be a bit rusty at times as we've seen. Hoping botaka and erwin can give us a bit more oomph. Does anyone think buckley will improve? We're very disjointed. Can only hope we get a bit more fluency to our game soon like we did against fulham & intensity. Hope we can sort out the defensive issues soon. Its gone on long enough.

Swop any of our players apart from amos for wood.

Ok it's my fault, I should never have put this in the Original Post............." Well I'm feeling so much more optimistic after Wednesdays performance, if the team can replicate that on a regular basis i'll be more than happy "

But I didn't mean it literally FFS

Anyway Thanks for looking after the thread

I have been a great supporter of Silvestri but he hasn't learned anything he must be replaced Bentley for me
Wood will come good as will Buckley he just needs to get settled .Look at Blackman this season took him a while to wake up now leading scorer
