Cardiff City
Cardiff could make a change in goal, the inexperienced Ben Wilson has conceded six goals in successive defeats to Norwich and Preston, and Bluebirds boss Paul Trollope says he "has a decision" on whether to stick with the youngster, with new signings Ben Amos and Brian Murphy waiting in the wings.
Peter Whittingham has been a surprise omission for the last two matches and could return in midfield, but injured duo Joe Bennett and Stuart O'Keefe remain absent.
Trollope is mulling over whether to change his 5-3-2 formation with Cardiff having dropped into the bottom three in midweek and full-back Jazz Richards might be recalled.

Agree on all that milkyboy.
Midfield didn't control it as much as they could have. Would still love to see Murphy and Diagourara back involved, Viera/Phillips just not up to the standard for me.

It's good Mike. Bad for the interviewer getting dead arm holding the mic up so high. But, great for our D.

That post match interview with Kyle and Dolph. You have 2 players there who stand at 6 foot 5.

...and Cardiff's tactics? Pump the ball into the box. No chance!

As I said after Fleetwood, when played correctly Pablo will be a steal in this league....I don't care what anyone says, he can be the difference for us this season

Excellent result. Central defence outstanding. Midfield didn't boss it, hopefully Bridcutt will sort that out. Dallas needs to up his game and so does Wood, should have put at least one of his open play chances away.
For me we need to bring in a good left back, Taylor is a shadow of what he's capable of, heart doesn't seem in it.
Great result.

Janson was awesome! Cool, calm and calculated when required!

C'mon Leeds, keep it up and you might make the play-offs and visit the 'Big Boys League' for a season.
Someone told me you used to play in the Prem but many years ago and I didn't believe them. Must have been before my time.

"Must have been before my time."
Yes, it shows in your comments, time to grow up.
