Here we go again Midweek fixture and Darko's first experience of being in charge at Elland Road
So will we bounce back after a somewhat lacklustre affair in Brentford , Can Milanic mould the players into the team he wants, Will LIW get his seat changed and tone down his Ref comments ?? ...............All will be revealed .......................
Venue: Elland Road.. Date: Weds 1st Oct.. Kick off: 19:45
Team News
Leeds..
Gaetano Berardi suspended so Sam Byram should continue at right-back, apart from this and new signings not being Match fit, Milanic should have a full squad to choose from.
Reading
Nigel Adkins is expected to assess Hal Robson-Kanu along with Midfielder Jake Taylor who limped off injured on Sunday, so will be given a late fitness test.
Defender Anton Ferdinand, Craig Tanner, Aaron Tshibola Danny Williams, Shaun Cummings and Garath McCleary all injured.
Possible Line Ups (courtesy of Sportsmole)
Leeds: Silvestri; Byram, Bellusci, Pearce, Warnock; Bianchi, Cook, Austin, Mowatt; Antenucci, Doukara
Reading: Federici; Gunter, Obita, Hector, Pearce; Akpan, Norwood, Taylor, Blackman; Cox, Murray.

Right so what's it going to be ??........Reading come into this game on the back of a 3-3 draw with Wolves, they also beat us 4-2 last March , BUT......Leeds should be looking to bounce back after what was a very disappointing performance on Saturday, the Lads have proved they can turn on the style at E.R. let's see them show the new Boss what they can do.
personally I'm hoping for a 2-1 Scoreline, a clean sheet might be a big ask
Over to You.................Predictions Welcome..........................
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

@APOPEY: #lufc For those asking.... Adryan, Montenegro and Del Fabro are all deemed to need more Dev Squad games .
@PhilHayYEP: Asked Milanic about Adryan. Says Adryan is ready after his U21s outing on Monday. Says he's "thinking about him now." Might see him v Owls.

I want to see the link to these supposed comments.
Seems to me a certain party is spreading the usual ill informed twitter rumours as fact...!
Might be wrong but I doubt it.

@johnniematthews @PhilHayYEP As said several times Redfearn feels he is not ready yet. Needs more Dev Squad games.

Jonty love, when did Redfearn say it, was it some time ago, when Adryan first arrived....?
The tweet you are linking is since Milanic arrived. Otherwise Milanic would not be in the question.
Sounds to me like it's an old quote.

Did Bianchi give the ball away? No?
Are you being serious Shaun?

Darko made the decisions
posted on 2/10/14
Ok - so Redfern says he needs more dev games yet he had him on the bench for three games. Either he put him there because he was told to or he thought he was good enough to be a sub. If it's the latter then he is contradicting himself.
Darko says he's fit and ready and in consideration after the game he played on Monday.
Darko gets my vote as he watched him play on
Monday and he picks the team now.

But only if Cellino allows him too. I saw a picture of The Don at the training ground the other day. I thought it was encouraging to see the owner taking a keen interest.
Apparently I'm wrong. It's all part of his professional coaching qualification training regime......

I saw Massimo Cellino in Burmantofts about three years ago, he was plotting at the time. He had a book entitled 'How to get a yacht on the cheap like'
He was walking down Torre Road towards what used to be where the Regent Cinema was sited. He was wearing a trilby and a navy cardy, it was definitely him.
If I'd been on Twitter I'd have tweeted it, but I wasn't
