The team to play QPR - 6 changes needed

[pjm2019]

5 players dropped because they did not perform last saturday and Gray for Kamara to offer a little more going forward.


Darlow -- Ayling- Struilk Rodon sam B// Ampadu- Gray // Anthony Povada- rutter-Piroe

Bench: --- Messlier-Cresswell Cooper Shackleton -- Gruev Summerville Kamara James Bamford

6 players seems a bit much.

Personally I think just going back to our usual style will fix many of the issues.

Rodon, Gray and Anthony for Cooper, Kamara and James will do for me.

[1964white]

Two changes at the most!

THIS IS A COPY N PASTE BELOW !!!..... Although i've gotta say I could've written it and that i wouldn't mind seeing PB start in a lone role with Rutter on the right instead of DJ, but he's probably not fit enough but i'd take him off when knackered and then introduce DJ, the bit in italics is why i gave DF the benefit of the doubt v Soton and perhaps why he went with the same, so we'll now find out how he responds (can he swallow his pride ?)

------------------------------------

Daniel Farke will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment of defeat against Southampton as his Leeds United side host Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road on Wednesday 04 October.

The Whites faced a setback in their progress with a poor defeat against Southampton but will see QPR as the ideal opportunity to bounce back, with the visitors having won just one of their last seven Championship games.

Farke set a precedent for how his teams will be picked with the lineup against Southampton – it’s a meritocracy. Some of the performances on the South Coast deserve to see the players lose their place, with plenty of rotation likely.

The defence is likely to show the most key changes after they were cut open all too easily by the Saints at the weekend, with Liam Cooper’s impressive display against Watford wiped out as his fortunes turned at St Mary’s. Joe Rodon should return to his place alongside Pascal Struijk.

Some considered the Welshman unlucky to have missed out against Southampton, but his exclusion from the starting team appeared a display of Farke’s standards.

Luke Ayling, meanwhile, should return at right-back, with his experienced head and consistent performances so far this season providing the better option than the makeshift choice of Jamie Shackleton, despite his good form.

Sam Byram looks set to keep his place on the left-hand side of the defence, largely as he is the only option there, but also as a result of his displays since returning from injury.

Further up the pitch, Ethan Ampadu should keep his spot in midfield, but Archie Gray could return to the side after Glen Kamara struggled against Saints, getting booked and taken off after just 73 minutes in an abject display.

Kamara had very little impact on the game, touching the ball just 44 times in the centre of the park, despite the even split of possession, while his 50% duel success rate is also a poor sign

Crysencio Summerville has been a real bright spark for Farke this season but took a blow to the shoulder which he seemed to struggle with before being subbed off, and he may be rested as a precaution due to his importance to the side, allowing Jaidon Anthony to make his full debut.

Up front, the dynamic duo of Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter should remain, with their displays of late earning an almost guaranteed spot, despite struggling to impact the game at the weekend. Patrick Bamford came on for Daniel James at St Mary’s but looks set to remain on the bench for this one.

Where is Spence ? Agree totally Rodon for Cooper , Anthony for James . Spence in if available. Bamford available ( briefly until next injury) , hopefully bench at best though he may get a rogue splinter injury .

Spence Injured
18th September
Leeds United defender Djed Spence picked up a knee injury following a challenge in training last week, and following scans, we can confirm he has damaged his lateral collateral ligament.

The injury is not expected to require surgery and we expect Djed to return to play within eight weeks.

We wish Djed a speedy recovery.

[Jaydog]

Lateral collateral ligament. Wtf is that.

Spence is injured.

We shouldn't go making wholesale changes for the next game, that would be crazy.

[The Subhuman]

No one in their right mind would start Paddy over Piroe or actually Rutter really as he's our #9

I would.

But he won't.

And i'm ALWAYS right.

[Leeds1000]

He may go with the same team for them to redeem themselves? QPR (say it quietly) don't seem to have the players to pull of what the Saints did. I think they will sit in and try and catch us on the break and hope for set-piece opportunities. Rodon would be my only change personally... altho i'm not opposed to Anthony starting for rotation.

[pjm2019]

i suggested 6 changes with 5 due to poor performance.

Darlow for Messlier because he had 3 goals scored against him
Ayling for Shackleton because he played poorly in defence and never got forward
Rodon for Cooper as Cooper was 100% at fault for the 1st goal as he was ball watching rather than marking their attacker, and he positional play during the game was again poor
Anthony for Summerville as Anthony carries the ball better and passes to other players unlike Summerville
Provada for James as Provada had a good pre season before his injury and james is just not consistent

Gray for Karama not because Karama had a bad game but playing at home i think Gray is better at going forward

Not sure why you guys did not see the same as me. And for the person who said keep the same starting 11 i give up

Darlow -- Ayling- Struilk Rodon sam B// Ampadu- Gray // Anthony Povada- rutter-Piroe

Bench: --- Messlier-Cresswell Cooper Shackleton -- Gruev Summerville Kamara James Bamford

[Jaydog]

We have several players I’ve never heard of.
Karama, Provada & Pirlo. I must’ve been watching the wrong game.
