Leeds plump for American to sort out the Rangers

Jemal Johnson is set to make his Leeds United debut in the relegation battle with QPR tonight.
The 21-year-old, American-born striker signed on a month's loan from Wolves yesterday and while he won't be able to play when Leeds travel to Molyneux on Saturday, he is likely to be on the bench against Rangers in place of the struggling Tresor Kandol.
Ironically, Johnson fell out of favour at Wolves after the arrival of former Leeds striker Andy Keogh, but even though he has only netted three times in 24 appearances for the Midlands club, Leeds boss Dennis Wise thinks he will freshen up his squad.
The now infamous, but still unknown Leeds mole' would have a job to reveal the line-up for tonight's game because even Wise is struggling to know what it will be.
He is waiting for last minute checks on two of his three central defenders. Rui Marques is doubtful after sustaining a badly gashed head at Cardiff on Saturday.
That leaves Hayden Foxe to partner Matt Heath but the Australian also picked up a knock at Ninian Park and is carrying a long term injury that prevents him playing two games in a week.
Wise is hoping for better news about Alan Thompson, who should be fit to return to midfield and is likely to replace Ian Westlake.
Victory over a QPR side, whose manager John Gregory is expected to get the sack if they lose, will lift Leeds off the bottom whatever the result in the other massive relegation struggle between Barnsley and Hull.
Defeat, on the other hand, would be a massive blow, from which Leeds might not recover.

Cresswell fighting fit for United run-in

RICHARD CRESSWELL has revealed that hard work on the training field has left him feeling in perfect shape and ready to shoot Leeds United to safety.
The Bridlington-born striker has missed most of the season with a knee injury, but has come off the bench in United's last two outings.
He said: "It has been just nice to be out there and getting a run-out. I feel sharp and enthusiastic. I feel like I am 16 again, to be honest.
"My fitness is one of my main assets. If I am not on top of that then I do not play as well as I can. But I worked tirelessly hard with the physios so my fitness is good."
United face QPR tonight in a 'must-win' encounter and Cresswell added: "We have to keep the tempo high. We have to play like we did (against Crystal Palace).
"There are six teams involved (in the relegation battle) and all those above us will be looking over their shoulder."
United could hand a debut to new loan signing Jemal Johnson, the 21-year-old Wolves striker having moved to Elland Road on a month's loan.
Alan Thompson is Dennis Wise's main fitness concern after missing the last two games with a calf injury, while Jonathan Douglas, Hayden Foxe and Rui Marquez are hoping to recover from head injuries.
Meanwhile, Yorkshire internet entrepreneur Peter Wilkinson has denied speculation linking him with a takeover of Leeds.
A report appeared in a Sunday newspaper suggesting the multi-millionaire was mulling over a bid to take charge of the Elland Road club.
However, he last night stressed: "I have no idea where the rumours are coming from. I have never met or corresponded or had a conversation with Mr (Ken) Bates. If I was interested in buying the club I would, out of courtesy, contact Mr Bates to have a preliminary discussion. I have no plans to contact him now or in the foreseeable future."

Last six games: Leeds WLWLWL, QPR LLLLWL.
Referee: A Bates (Staffordshire).
Last time: Leeds United 2 QPR 0; Championship; February 4, 2006

Gray expecting tense night as White Rose foes meet
AS Yorkshire's trio of Championship strugglers prepare for potentially key relegation showdowns, Eddie Gray is predicting a night of high drama and tension.
The battle to avoid dropping into League One will intensify tonight when four of the bottom six go head to head with Leeds United hosting QPR and Hull City making the trip to Barnsley.
Just three points separate bottom-placed Leeds and Luton in 19th place so it could be a hugely significant night in what has been a desperately disappointing Championship season for the White Rose county.
Sheffield Wednesday, who seem destined to finish in mid-table despite having claimed just one point from a possible 18 in 2007, could do their Yorkshire rivals a huge favour tonight by winning at Kenilworth Road.
Gray, a former manager of both Leeds and Hull, has seen all three Yorkshire strugglers in action this season while working for BBC Radio Leeds.
He said: "There are six teams involved in the relegation battle. Those on 37 or 38 points might be looking a bit nervously over their shoulders, but it would take a horrible run for them to be dragged in.
"Teams such as Norwich and Coventry will win a couple of games in the next few weeks and that will be enough to keep them just out of range.
"The other six are in the thick of it, though, and for four of them to be playing each other on the same night makes it an important one.
"Barnsley and Hull are both on 32 points so if one of them wins (at Oakwell) they can pull away a little.
"But if Leeds win and the game at Oakwell finishes as a draw, which, if I am honest, is what I want to happen, then all three will be level on 33 points. Alternatively, Leeds could lose and be six behind QPR."
Gray, who spent a season in charge of Hull in the late Eighties, added: "The games will not determine who stays up, there are too many games still to play between now and the end of the season.
"But whoever wins will have a psychological advantage. That is why it will be a tense night at Leeds and Barnsley.
"Barnsley and Hull know what a big advantage they can give themselves by winning at Oakwell, and it is the same for Leeds and QPR.
"Luton are at home to Sheffield Wednesday and if they lose that then they are right back in it even though they got a good point at Stoke on Saturday."
Gray made 569 appearances for Leeds and enjoyed two spells as manager at Elland Road so it is no surprise that he hopes Dennis Wise's side can retain their Championship status.
He added: "We keep saying Leeds have the players to get out of trouble, but it has not happened yet and we are still bottom. It is now time to start making things happen.
"The result against QPR will be huge for Leeds if we win and massive if we lose.
"QPR have the benefit of knowing that no matter what the result, Leeds cannot go above them. They have also had the benefit of having the weekend off while we had to go to Cardiff.
"On the other hand, they are the team that has been struggling lately and there has been all the speculation in the last couple of days about their manager (John Gregory possibly being sacked). That can unsettle players."
Southend complete the bottom half dozen clubs in the Championship and the Essex side host Crystal Palace tonight.

Det medfører riktighet, men så streames ikke Real Madrid - Bayern Munchen fra Viasat sport 2. Den streames fra kinesisk, spansk eller tysk tv, og der er det dårlig med Leeds i opptak!

Har fått kribling i magen allerede. Er ikke like sikker på at dette blir grei skuring. QPR spilte ikke på lørdag, og kommer derfor ganske så uthvilt til Elland Road. Jeg vet ikke, men jeg har en ekkel følelse[

].

Change is the constant that cannot be changed.

Stifler · February 20, 2007, 23:15:46

QRP kommer fra et 5-0 tap mot Southend, og har ikke spilt siden.
Vil heller si det er en fordel for Leeds, RoarG

Leeeeeeeeeeeeds · February 20, 2007, 23:17:08

Leeds are yet to announce the line-up for tonight, as we have a couple of injury problems to resolve before kick-off. But we can be sure that Uncle Ken's price reduction will ensure a great atmosphere, as the missing fans come back for this vital relegation battle.

It's a big night for Leeds, both on and off the field. We have to win this game, as QPR are one of the teams we need to overtake to get out of the bottom three, while we need as many fans as possible to turn up and take advantage of the price reductions. If we can show Pappa Smurf that the club can take the same total revenue as in the other games this season, we are more likely to be able to enjoy cheaper ticket prices in the future.

Marques and Thompson both having fitness tests before the game, to see if they have recovered from head and calf injuries respectively.
Jemal Johnson is likely to make an immediate debut after his signing on loan from Wolves, as Cresswell and Healy are still short of full fitness and are unlikely to start the game.

Cresswell has once again been busy telling the media how much he has benefited from his recent hard work on the training ground. He told the Yorkshire Post "It has been just nice to be out there and getting a run-out. I feel sharp and enthusiastic. I feel like I am 16 again, to be honest. My fitness is one of my main assets. If I am not on top of that then I do not play as well as I can. But I worked tirelessly hard with the physios so my fitness is good." And on the subject of tonight's game he added "We have to keep the tempo high. We have to play like we did (against Crystal Palace). There are six teams involved (in the relegation battle) and all those above us will be looking over their shoulder."

John Gregory received the dreaded vote of confidence from the QPR chairman last week, but rumours persist that his job is still under threat. He had a good run of results when he first took over and hauled Rangers off the bottom of the table, but well before Christmas they were slipping back into trouble and things came to a head with their abysmal 5-0 defeat at Southend. After that debacle Lee Camp is likely to replace Simon Royce in goal, while defender Sami Timoska should have recovered from his groin injury and midfield player Stefan Bailey has completed his suspension. One advantage QPR will have is that they had last Saturday off due to Preston's FA cup commitments, while we had to endure that bruising game at Cardiff.

But despite that, I think we will be too good for QPR in their delicate state, and that the season's biggest crowd will roar Leeds to victory by two or three goals.

Det er veldig sjelden at et lag får to store tap på rad, som regel skjerper man seg. Fordel Qpr der, mener jeg , MEN Leeds vinner nok for det. Lite trolig at Leeds scorer mer enn to mål og det bør være nok til ikke å tape.
Marching on together, karer (og selvsgt damer, hvis noen av dere er det...)
God kamp!

Tror vel ikke at vi taper, men er mer redd for et dølt uavgjort resultat (1-1), som ikke gir oss noe som helst, annet enn en følelse av utilstrekkelighet, en sånn

?-følelse.

min spådom for kvelden:

I KVELD SNUR DET!
tett og rotete kamp, som Leeds vinner 1-0 eller 2-1.
vi klatrer opp på sikker plass.

ujevn serieavslutning for både oss og våre nedrykksrivaler.
der blir nedturer og det blir oppturer, men vi klarer oss til slutt. muligens med et nødskrik, men vi klarer oss! ikke på grunn av Wise/Bates, nesten mer på tross av...

RoarG · February 21, 2007, 00:10:17

Måtte du være sannspådd. Jeg var adskillig mer optimistisk i forkant av de to foregående kampene. I kveld vil vi se prikkfritt forsvarsspill, og ikke noen tabber eller billige mål etter 46.50 i 1. omgang.

I kveld SKAL vi vinne. Det må gutta skjønne!!! Jeg VIL gjerne glede meg til i kveld, men klok av skade frykter jeg nok en nervepirrende kveld foran radioen. (Har (heldigvis?) ikke viasat.) Synes det er ille hvis sjuende-(?)valget i spissrekka til wolves kan gå rett inn på laget vårt, men så ille kan det ha blitt. Hvis så skjer må han bare få en pangdebut...Lykke til i kveld alle sammen

Kommer til å koble av med Money-League for så å få servert resultatet i trynet 22.30.

"Welcome to, arguably, the noisiest ground in England"

Det er fristende å sitte og se på kampen mellom brasilianeren med hestetennene og kranglefantene Riise og Bellamy, ja (det sier noe om hvor ille det er: tenk å kaste bort en hel kveld med å se Loserpoool!).

Tja, jeg vet ikke det RoarG. Man er da interessert i fotball selv om man er Leeds-supporter!
Bedre å få resultatet i trynet, som lowfields sier, enn å sitte å trykke foran en døll nettradio.

Men dere kan ta det med ro, Leeds vinner 4-1 i kveld, det har jeg sjekket med mitt alltid etterrettelige orakel down under. Det er bare å sprette sjampisen allerede - dette kan ikke gå gæernt. Leeds slenger seg over streken i kveld...

RoarG · February 21, 2007, 00:34:27

Interessert i fotball er jeg, men kamper hvor de helrøde spiller står utrolig lavt i kurs. 4-1? Gjerne det. Må Heath og Foxe spille stopperspill av verdensklasse.

Trur laget ditt er ganske realistisk, men har mi tvil om at Cressy er godt nok trent til å starte kampen. Trur nok heller vi må setje vår lit til "Kandol-can-do".

Håper virkelig på 3 poeng der. Tror Johnson scorer og Leeds vinner. Pappa ser på Kampen også så da vinner de.
