For Leeds to avoid bottom 3, or certainly bottom 6 we need each and everyone of Raph, Bamford and KP playing in our EPL matches all season, not missing chunks of games, here's hoping!
Anyone have any news on Bamford and KPs injury latest?
Also Baby Shack looking good at RB but still think his energy, drive, tackling and pass completion would be even better suited and needed in CM ;
Bielsa needs to trust and play Drameh at RB, Baby Shack CM.

Koch's issue has been resolved seemingly, just regain sharpness now next few weeks
Not 1 to goss but word online is Dallas issue is a domestic 1, hence being pulled from NI squad also for personal reasons
Something definitely up there
Hopefully Luke gets back soon enough, maybe he was carrying a bit of soreness since start of season, hence his poor form also?
Paddy's absence definitely highlights his worth to our 1st team, he never stops
We all knew Raph wasn't going to play Saturday, so why oh why did he bring him down? Here's hoping this slump has now ended, wolves are going to be buoyed up after Saturday.

Thanks for the info/ updates Chris;
indeed getting Bambam aback asap is crucial, Leeds play so much better when he is in the side.
Also really hope and need Dallas and Harrison, who were fabulous for Leeds last season, can get over any issues/ loss of form this season asap
2020/ 2021 season Harrison, Dallas and Klich contributed to a lot of GOALS between them ( 20 GOALS AND 15 ASSISTS) Leeds need those sort of stats again from them this season!

Raph flew into London so as close to go to Soton as Leeds and he was with his teammates.
Philips injury could be a complex one. Apparently it has aggravated his hip as well as affecting his calf so no return date yet. May be a while.

Thanks Chris, if you are right then MB should tell the lad Go home, sort it out, get your head together and come back refreshed.

Baz have you seen much of Drameh because I’m pretty sure MB has. Funny how some say we need to buy loads of players yet say we need to play the young lads on another thread?

Yes Corky I have seen Drameh play plenty of times last season and this ; I think he could cope ( well) at RB in the first team
as for your other confused point, so what?
we are currently outside of a transfer window right now ( so can't buy anyone ) with a load of injuries including RB Ayling so yeah why not give Drameh a chance to play in the first team as I suggested at the moment ( he continues to be on the 1st team bench why not use him now at some point eh fella?! )

Maybe that particular game Cork,
Just a thought, we were very very threadbare last Saturday.

Chris - apparently Raphinha was keen to play Saturday, and the Club did all it could to make that an option. They shared with Chelski and Villa the cost of a private jet, with bedrooms etc to maximise the opportunity for recovery, to take Raphinha, Thiago Silva and Douglas Luiz to London - from where Raphinha was transported to the team’s hotel. On the day, Bielsa decided his recovery wasn’t sufficient and decided against the risk. Incidentally, Douglas Luiz started for Villa, and completed 67 minutes, and Emiliano Martinez, who played for Argentina on the Friday, played the whole match v Wolves, so it wasn’t the travelling that ruled out Raphinha, but the minutes and intensity of his play.

Thanks for that Uncle Victor Clueless.
