How's the weather in West Yorkshire, is it game on or will it be too White on the night ???????
Friday the 13th ffs goes without saying it's not gonna be an easy one, but sealing the win and 3 points to derail Derby's push for the playoffs would be brilliant
Venue Elland Road .. Date 13th Jan.. Kick Off 1945hrs.
Team News
Leeds United
Leeds centre-half Liam Cooper is hoping to be fit and avert a potential defensive crisis for his side's home game against Derby.
Cooper was forced out of Monday night's FA Cup win at Cambridge with a knee problem and if he fails to make it head coach Garry Monk will be without two centre-backs as Pontus Jansson is suspended
so Monk could be forced to switch right-back Luke Ayling into central defence to partner Kyle Bartley.
Chris Wood, Liam Bridcutt and Pablo Hernandez are among those expected to return to the starting line-up, but left-back Charlie Taylor remains sidelined due to an Achilles injury.
Derby
Will Hughes is a doubt for Derby but new signing David Nugent should be in the squad.
Midfielder Hughes has been banned for the last two matches but is now unlikely to be risked at Elland Road as he nurses a knee injury.
Striker Nugent arrived at the club this week from Middlesbrough and is set to be involved, but Jacob Butterfield remains suspended.
Right-back Cyrus Christie is expected to return to training at the start of next week after over two months out with a broken bone in his right foot. Chris Baird has impressed in Christie's absence and will be involved against Leeds.

Ok Derby will probably post their own thread for this game but we'll still get certain visitors on here, I know it's difficult but try and keep it friendly
Hard one to predict possible draw, but i'm hoping the Home crowd can do the biz and help us nick a 2-1 victory, with Sacko and Woody blasting them in

McLaren is an honest guy. With Graham Taylor's death it brings home how individuals can be crucified by the press and one moment can permanently define them in may people's eyes. Taylor was a very decent chap but most of us simply thought of him as Turnip-Head. McLaren is similarly saddled with a lifelong tabloid label. It shouldn't take a death to change that view.

I'll say one thing about Graham Taylor - I was privileged to see his Watford side that stormed up from the fourth division - think I can safely say the team with the likes of Barnes, Callaghan, Blisset et al was the best I have seen outside the top flight.

Fair dues, Igor. We have ripped into you, and you are man enough to acknowledge we were the better team tonight. Catch up with you again in the play-offs.

My ratings:
Green :7 Didn't have much to do but made a great save from Ince but his clearance for their disallowed goal was dodgy
Coyle: 9 Never put a foot wrong and linked well with Roofe
Ayling: 9. Outstanding
Bartley: 9 Outstanding in defence but missed a sitter
Berardi: 9 Awesome performance. Taylor will struggle
to get his place back
Roofe: 9 Was composed and tricky
Vieira: 9 Outstanding with classy touches. A real terrier - our new Billy Bremner?
Bridcutt: 9 Him and Vieira protected the back four to the point they found it a stroll
Hernandez: 10. MOTM and ran the show. The reason the others got a 9- he was simply class
Doukara: 9. A massive improvement from Monday and made some great touches
Wood: 9. Scored a great goal and his running off the ball caused Derby problems in how to deal with him
Dallas: 8 Worked hard
Mowatt: wasn't on long enough for a rating

Thought Viera gave the ball away too much trying to play a few Hollywood balls rather than simple passes

Working late and just finished watching, managed to avoid hearing the score.
Absolutely buzzing.
Great performance. Thought it would've been a lot tighter.
Great way to start the weekend.
