Evans is absolutely lost with the ball. We are really missing Rothwell today.

Full strength team, all fully fit, what front 3 do we go for in a play-off final at Wembley when all the chips are in?

Elliott-Dack-Arma interchanging? Dolan on for the last 30? 

I wouldn't worry about that.  We are going up automatically.  1st or 2nd.

I do wonder if he might try to shift Bennett out the door if we can get a wide man as it will only push him further away from the team and he must be on a decent wage.

Bennett is out injured for at least a month.  Not sure who would want to sign him before January.

Had a brief chat with a good mate of mine who is a die hard Leeds fan. His assessment....

Douglas - Wand of a left foot, good passer, great on set pieces....not athletic enough to play in a Bielsa team, slow and is sometimes beaten for pace, but good at Championship level.

Sounds like a minor upgrade on Cunningham and almost a Mulgrew type of player at left back?

Two promotions on the CV with Wolves and Leeds can't be too bad though!

I talked to a Leeds friend of mine and he said the exact same thing.  Said his set pieces are top class.  He did say he’s had a hard time staying healthy since joining from Wolves. Certainly an upgrade over Bell.

Didn't even recognize him tbh and was too embarrassed to ask lol. But yeah, now i remember, Petrovic, came with a reputation of scoring good goals from midfield. Completely pants he was.

He's been the one player over the years that has always stood out to me.  I don't think he was a League 1 player.  He was so lost.  He played for some decent clubs after Rovers which was shocking (some Turkish club, Kyiv, Sporting, Rio Ave, and Almeria.)

Look, here's my view... we are loaded up front, have a major weakness at LB (maybe LF/LAM if BB doesn't continue his current form, but have plugged all of our other holes.  This squad has the chance to to go up.  Gallagher sucks out wide right, but will play there when Little Messi isn't fit or not in form.  TM has his faults, but he has steadied the ship.  This is our best chance to go up in 10 years.  Let's have fun with this season and not be at each other's throats.  This should be a magical ride.  Let's enjoy it and stop the bickering (and hope we get a new LB).

Love the sentiment, but world class 

These are world class:

Zidane

Vieira

Keane

Figo 

Iniesta

Xavi

Ronaldinho

Kaka

 

World Class!  He was our Claude Makelele.

Time for the LB contingent to step up. Probably pissed up in Prague all summer. 

Haha well how do I get that job?  Sounds like a hell of a summer.

So we are in 4th, pending the games in hand. I know it's just 3 games in so it barely matters, but that would be our first time in the top 6 in how long?

We were 5th after Brentford win August 25th, 2018.  It was the 5th league match of the season.  Rovers started DDWDW.

Buckley on for the last sub?

Would like to see him get some more minutes. 

I'd bring him on for Holtby.  Need to keep him fit.

Not in our league, but Tosin isn’t even in the squad for city’s carabao cup game tonight. Looking as though he’s no future there.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him on loan at another championship side.

He's in the last year of his contract.  City are looking to sell.  Several Premier League teams have been linked.
