Got to be Joseph still. Proper gets stuck into defenders when he comes on. Paddy is generally poor off the bench.

Has it been his plan all along to have a 100% rested Piroe for the run in games ?

There's absolutely no way he's holding back like the Sunderland game by having Roberts in the line up.

All we have to hope now is BBurn don't do a Plymouth.

I agree with that, a supersub he ain't.

James seems to get into games the fastest, along with Joseph next

Must be a dream come true, all of the wants and desires of the majority of the people on MOT have been made.

Doesn't leave much wiggle room for complaints... Oh Joseph is still on the bench... Such an oversight and will be our ruination. He and Joffy would have made a great pair up front.

There I think I have covered all the bases for you.

Blackburn put 5 past Sunderland and we can only draw with them. Bristol put 5 past Blackburn. Pilgrims near the bottom of the table beat the league leaders... how do make any sense of this if you are only looking at form.

It seems to be all down to what's between the ears... Confidence players will win this league. I hope Farke has worked some voodoo to rekindle the teams believe in themselves.

Come on you whites!!!

I like the lineup, surely there is a few goals in there and fingers crossed it’s the final shift in tactics that takes us up - just need to come out swinging from the first whistle rather than saving it for late in the second half.

Finally, DF makes the right changes we crave.
Pondering like I do, winning horses usually burst through the leaders to win right at the death. Is DF attempting this strategy? We'll soon see. 🤣

I think he'll be fine. He offers plenty going forward and is not scared of a challenge. Gruev and Kamara have been right off the pace these last few matches. Archie pissed all over Chelsea's expensively assembled midfield.

Only Rotherham have conceded more goals than Blackburn, so they will be there for the taking. We need to come out flying, fast paced progression, high press, meaty tackles and none of this pissing about playing passes sideways and backwards to keep possession just for the sake of it.

We're Leeds United, teams should be coming to ER terrified that we're gonna be looking to maul them.

They'll stick in a low block and hope to keep us out, and expect the rough stuff for Summerville, Gnonto and Georginio.

Let's show the others that we've got a pair, we have nothing to fear but our own self doubt.

Thank goodness Farke has seen sense at last. Let's not forget that another Bamford loss of ( a very fragile ) self-confidence during a protracted goal drought was what led to the club signing JKA and ultimately losing £40m over a player who was on the pitch for barely an hour. That was when the club panicked after losing Nketiah because Bielsa wouldn't play him, due to his infatuation with Bamford.

And hopefully a fairly fit Gnonto should inject some flair and hopefully a goal or two up front - it's not by chance that the bluntness in attack has coincided with him being injured. James is basically only really effective on counters - not when up against sides parking the bus.

Without taking the win for granted, we could do with few goals fo the GD.
Currently only +2 more than Leicester.. , and there's a good chance it could be decisive.
