Good Friday Footie!
A very good Friday to all of you in LOBland. As it's a religious holiday, I'll attempt to keep the crucifixion jokes (and Python references) to a minimum. The main order of operation today is a full slate of critical matches in the Championship. This all starts with some traditional 10am EST (3pm GMT) kickoffs, including my beloved Leeds kicking off against Wigan. Here's how simple our task is from here on in: we need 10 points from the remaining four matches, starting today. So, let's have three points at home, lads. Come on, you Whites! #MOT!

As David's text said, the Blades are 1-0 up against 10-man Forest. I just turned on the link a few minutes ago. United look a little nervy but it is still 1-0 with 11 minutes + stoppage time
COME ON FOREST
We need a late goal down the Lane just like vs Millwall
Bugger 2-0
Morning, UWS. I'm over at work monitoring the matches. No telly coverage anyway of our big match, so I'll be turning to the live text updates on the Leeds website and the FotMob numpties.
Bristol City only draw at home to Reading. That hurts for their hopes of the playoffs.
They are still in sixth but only two points ahead of Boro...but have played the same number of games. They must have an extra game. Looking at the table, I think it is against Derby
Morning Bob...sorry you have work but I am SOOOOO HAPPY that I have my Spring Break ahead of me
So, Leeds drop to third before the 10 o'clock kick off....it's simple...just win, win, win and win...or even draw one!
Full time at Bramell Lane
Three points for the Blades and up into second
That's of no consequence. Of course, we would have loved an assist from the Evil Lions, but we need to focus on the main job at hand. That's 10 points from four matches. We do that and we're up. Come on, you Whites!
The Leeds squad for today's match:
Leeds United: Casilla, Ayling, Berardi, Jansson, Alioski, Phillips, Klich, Roberts, Hernandez, Harrison, Bamford. Subs: Peacock-Farrell, Forshaw, Roofe, Dallas, Davis, Shackleton, Clarke.
It's as it was at the weekend, with Berardi in for Liam Cooper, Alioski still deputizing at left back and the front line of Roberts and Bamford. Roofe, Clarke and Dallas are the obvious subs if something is going pear-shaped.
Almost kick off time now - MOT!
Good morning, Bob and Dave. Watching Richard Burton vs Pompey on Plus
And we're away at Elland Road. Come on!
Pompey win an early corner. In swinging corner from Brown headed about a foot over by Clarke.
Morning, MUR - how are you, mate?
I am back from walkies and listening to talkSport on my phone
They are going around the grounds but based at Elland Road
They're talking about how good MOT sounded
Leeds attacking the Kop
I'm leaving this on instead of the numpties....they are off

"All Leeds"
Welcome back, Dave. Watching Richard Burton vs Pompey on Plus
And we're back up to second where we belong.
Harrison gets to the byline, his cross just evades Bamford, but lands with Pablo Hernandez at the back post, who sees his strike blocked.
PNE 1 Ipswich 0
Love listening to the around the grounds
We're on the front foot right from the off - I want an early goal!
Good news for Pompey fans is that Charlton, who are challenging them for the last promotion spot, lost 2-1 to Oxford
I'm doing the same MUR
Derby tie it up
UWS will be interested to note that Pompey is currently on Plus and will be on Monday vs Coventry with that kickoff at 7:30.
Early corner for Wigan cleared out by Kal.
As we will on Monday. I may still be asleep when that one kicks off.
I'm still hoping Pompey can get Top 2
A game in hand over Barnsley.... the big match is Sunderland vs Pompey next Saturday
A long throw causes some panic in our backline. Early match jitters. Cut it out!
We need a goal to settle the nerves. Come on!
The announcer stated that there will be a rep[eat of the EFL Trophy Final at the SOL a week from tomorrow. That's a promotion six pointer.
My cousin, her hubby and my Aunt Janet will be at Fratton Park on Monday
Salford City take the lead at Boreham Wood as do the Orient Express vs Harrogate Railroad in the Railroad Derby.
That should be an exciting match for them
Rotherham take a much needed lead at the Swans
Motley Crewe takes the lead vs struggling Yeovil
OH!!! A long range effort from Jamie Allen is about two inches wide for Richard Burton
Ali has a chance to swing a free kick in but overhits it.

Evil Ridsdale riding all over the Tractor Boys, going two up.
Blackburn in the lead at QPR in a basically meaningless fixture.
Real Dons in the lead at Bristol Rovers,moving them out of the drop zone for the first time in ages. With Bradford losing 2-0 at Coventry earlier today, the Bantams would be relegated to L2 today

Leeds boss was thinking of going to West Ham during the summer but West Ham their goals were to "get better"
Leeds...."Premier League"
UWS and Fred will not be pleased that Barnsley have taken the lead vs the Shrews.

Chance for Wigan, Clarke breaks through and he gets past Casilla who comes a long way out, his chipped effort goes wide though, with the Leeds defence racing back.

WAY HAY.... ONE NIL POMPEY!
Great Leeds pressure right now - I want a second!
A right old ding dong at St. Andrews - Desmond has arrived.
Bywater more a by product in the Burton goal as he wasn't even close to saving the goal from Close.
Will the match at the St. Andrews be a repeat of the one at the Etihad?
We're now on +28 GD; The Blades are four goals better on +32. I'd love to close that gap today as well.
We've got another corner chance now - bring the big boys up!
Jayne Mansfied on top of both Morecambe and Wise. Abe Lincoln now needs a win to clinch the L2 title today. Already promoted.
Want another Leeds goal sharpish.... this is the day Leeds need to get a boatful of goals...they need another four to take the lead in that column. They have scored more goals
Salford went two up at Boreham Wood, who have now pulled it back to 1-2. Goal difference is crucial for Salford.
Shame that Barnsley are winning too

The Baggies have improved their playoff chances with a goal against Hull right before half time.

Roofe with a chance.... chested to the keeper.... put your head on it mate!!
We saw it on SSN... should have buried it

It will be a quiet Saturday this week. Other than the Prem , there is just Accrington Stanley vs Luton, which is the same time as the late Prem match
