Welcome to the Matchday Thread, as the season winds down we make the trip down to Norwich to try and ensure we at least finish in the top half of the Championship
After getting the win against Barnsley last time out I think we might manage to scrape this one
Venue...Carrow Road....Date... 28th April...Kick Off 15:00hrs
Team News
Leeds United
Midfielder Adam Forshaw came off the bench for the closing stages of the win over Barnsley last weekend following his calf problem, so should feature again.
Defender Liam Cooper was an unused substitute having recovered from a leg injury and is expected to be available again. Defenders Luke Ayling (ankle), Laurens De Bock (hamstring), forward Tyler Roberts (shin) and midfielder Conor Shaughnessy (ankle) all continue their recovery, Berardi still suspended and theres rumours of another young lad getting a run out
Norwich
Norwich midfielder Wes Hoolahan is set to make his final appearance for the club in the Sky Bet Championship match against Leeds at Carrow Road.
The former Republic of Ireland international, 35, is set to end his 10-year stay at Carrow Road in the summer, and will be given the opportunity of a send-off in front of the home supporters.
Winger Onel Hernandez returned from a hamstring injury to come on as a substitute in last weekend's goalless draw at Preston, so should feature again while forward Marley Watkins (illness) and defender Christoph Zimmermann (glute) could also be involved. WTF is glute ??
Midfielders Marco Stiepermann (hernia), Tom Trybull (ankle/knee) and winger Matt Jarvis (ankle) are all stepping up their recovery. Louis Thompson (Achilles) continues his rehabilitation.

Opta stats
Norwich, who lost 3-2 at Carrow Road against Leeds last season, haven't lost back to back home league games against the Whites since September 1973.
Leeds haven't completed a league double over the Canaries since the 1980-81 season, when the teams both competed in the top-flight.
The Canaries have failed to score in four of their last six league games at home, winning two, drawing two and losing two. In fact, only at St. Andrews (41) and Deepdale (46) have fewer goals been scored than at Carrow Road in the Championship this season (47).
Leeds United last lost four away league games on the bounce back in April 2014 under manager Brian McDermott.
This will be Paul Heckingbottom's third visit to Carrow Road, but first as Leeds United boss. He drew 1-1 when in charge of Barnsley earlier this season back in November.
Leeds Defender Pontus Jansson has scored twice in his three league games against Norwich, including netting the equaliser in his sides victory at Carrow Road last season and the winner at Elland Road earlier this season.
So there it is, a good chance to pick up the 3 points and i'm hoping BPF can keep a clean sheet he certainly is capable
With that in mind i'm going 0-2 with Pablo celebrating his new contract and Roofey getting the 2nd

Poor, poor show. Lost every 50-50 ball, statuesque defending, giving the ball away constantly. Hard to pick any positives right now

Cheers guys! Quiet thread but that’s to be expected when there’s nowt to play for.
Enjoy what’s left of your weekend.

13 yellows now for Jansson (I think). Should be OK with 1 game to go.
