McDermott likely to make several changes for the trip to Donny i suspect
Wootton to make his Leeds debut
Diouf, Brown, Smith, Poleon, Tonge, White, Drury all probable starters
Nice win at the Keepmoat in front of stadium full of Leeds fans & a yet another big draw in the next round

My wish is for us to get eased out (by the narrowest of margins and fluky goals) of both cups early so that our limited squad can cope with the demands of 46 Championship games without being overstretched.
I still remember us damn near falling apart in L1 after beating scum in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
I know it wasn't because we beat scum, Beckford put in his transfer request and it can't all have been down to excessive games but still, distraction from the main event can be damaging to promotion hopes.
I fully expect to be in a minority of 1 on this. I'm lucky to have my own vote really.

Yeah, but not to Donny eh?
Let's give them a darn good thrashing first

Mmm - ok!
Trouble with this Cup lark is we could get local rivals in a couple more rounds - then we're hooked.

You got your wish Adam - I must admit I'm pleased too.
Some high scoring games in this round - Norwich vs Bury has to have been a cracker.

Mowatt MOTM, from friends at the game, and comments around the social media from fans returning home. GREAT debut!

Heard the same. While I'm pleased for him, and its great to see our academy doing so well... I wish he had a different position.
Midfielders: Austin, Murphy, Green, Tonge, Brown, Norris, Dawson, and now Mowatt.
Wingers: Hall.
Good to see Wootton get off to a good start. Confidence is key. Players are confident, the team is working together, the manager is working wonders, the fans are optimistic. We're not the best team in the league but every single team out there are going to dislike playing against us.
I'll not get carried away if we lose on Sunday but should we at least get a point from it, an undefeated August is a good start.
