Just seen this on the LUFC site - good news about Killa!
EDDIE'S READY
American winger Eddie Lewis returns to the Leeds United squad for tomorrow's pre-season friendly at Nottingham Forest.
The Californian was given an extended summer break after taking part in this summer's World Cup finals, but has been back in training for over a week now and is ready for his first appearance.
Matthew Kilgallon also returns to the squad for the trip to the City Ground after shaking off injury.
Steve Stone, David Healy and Dan Harding complete the quintet of additions to the squad for Saturday's game.
Midfielder Shaun Derry is still absent with injury.
United's last trip to Forest was in March 2005 when the two sides played out a 0-0 draw.
United fans will again be able to pay on the day.

Oh great Lewis is back...... my early predictions for the line up tomorrow is
Sully, Kelly, Foxe/Gregan, Kilgallon, Harding/Livermore, Stone, Nicholls, Bakke, Lewis, Healy, Blake........ if our defenders dont hoof we'll be fine and dandy.... and should expect a win.....

I just saw a post on the Wolves board which said that they thought Butler was going to come back to them as he'd fallen out with Blackwell!!
Anyone heard anything about that?

Nope but I hope to God its true! We need to be moving the club forwards now and though Butler has done a great job for us, I honestly can't see why he should be part of the team to take us further forward, I don't know where he wold fit in anymore because I rate Gregan and Foxe better than him now......

I have to agree with you there. Thought it was a mistake to bring him back for the play-off final as Gregan was doing a better job.

it says killa returns from injury so this is great because it shows that he wasn't out of the squad because of transfer

You still cant pay your money on the gate, you need a ticket to enter the stadium but they are on sale during the day, arrive early to avoid queues and also note the stadium is NO SMONKING any caught smoking will be thrown out.

If Butler has indeed fallen out with Blackwell, I would guess this is because Blackwell has stripped Butler of the captaincy and told him he would not be a regular feature next year due to his age and the fact we now have brought it signings that have more pace. Personally, I think Butler has been a good signing and did a good solid job, but the club now has to move forward and seek to replace the old stalwart with more pace. If my thoughts are true, then I feel it is very nice to see Blackwell making a stand to bring in new blood without doing a Sven and being afraid to ring the changes. Well done Blackie. Great that Killa is back, hopefully that will allay all our fears about him leaving if the reason he missed most of the preseason was purely down to injury. I'm happier already.
