Marching on Together: Leeds v Walsall match preview
By: j | January 30th, 2009Riding a three match winning streak, Leeds visits Walsall Saturday as they continue their race towards promotion. Seventh in the table Simon Grayson’s side rests three points behind closest rivals Oldham Athletic and a further two behind, Peterborough United, Scunthorpe United and Millwall all locked with fifty points.
For the match Walsall welcomes back Rhys Weston, Stephen Roberts and Michael Ricketts but are likely without Stephen Hughes who is questionable. Leeds appears fully fit with only long term absences Frazer Richardson and Paul Huntington unavailable.
Given the Leeds manager Simon Grayson stonewalls information on possible lineups, we can assume he’ll continue to pair Lee Trundle with Jermaine Beckford and continue to use Bradley Johnson given his solid play.
As always I will report on the match as it concludes but until then we’re Marching on Together

I have noticed that since Gary McAllister left, you have had far less to say. You don’t seem to be as opinionated and I wondered whether there was some friendship with Maca that allowed you to take more liberties.
I enjoyed your insights and now you only state the obvious basic news report. How about getting back into it?
And as for Mr. Delph, there has been no discussion about what Leeds can actually do with 5 million. The season is well advanced. The pressure on Delph showed today.
But how do you get 2 million dollar players to come and play for a mid table League One outfit even if it is Leeds. So if one buys 4 or 5 half million pound players then what do you do? Turf out the others?
It seems to me that there is no advantage. There is not enough time. If Delph is as good as we believe, he will still be worth 5 millon next year but at least we will not have disrupted the team and given up another star for the future.
Nobody seems to write about this. How about you?

Jonathan Oldroyd; thank you for joining in. It is very appreciated.
I suppose I have been short but with few picking up on my commentary its seems best served in other writings with respects to my inner knowledge of the club. However you also caught me writing today’s review and I think you’ll notice a few things said that “need to be said.”
Leeds has made some fundamental flaws during the transfer season and now they are left in a mess. Effectively they have done a classic change of direction when a new manager comes on board and can always look to “next” season by falling short and blaming the previous regime either implicitly or explicitly. Unfortunately next season is most likely in League One for Leeds and you can’t keep such a big club in the third division without losing many young talents.
Let me write this up now – I actually held back for much of the day because I was boiling with the performance and…I do like to keep my blood pressure down : )
