Really tough to select an 11.

For me Adams, Roca and McK may be solid but we are at home and need to be putting the pressure on them...
That said they like a midfield 5 so we need bodies in there.

Here goes:

Obv this depends on Rods fitness, but Bamford for him.

Subs
Jimmy or Rutter for Aaronson
Jimmy or Harrison for Gnonto

I like it, but I’d swap Summerville for Aaronson and Rutter for Rodrigo. And then work Rodrigo in around the 60-65th minute. Aaronson can be the super sub for Gnonto or Summerville…whichever one looks gassed.

Either way, there is the intriguing possibility of the formation shifting real-time from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 (or 4-2-2-2: McKennie to RM with Summerville (or Aaronson) switching to LM and Gnonto shifting centrally to being a support striker.

Will be interesting to see what lineup Gracia decides..

Time to show us what you’ve got. A win or even a draw would give us some hope, a defeat and I think the writing might be on the wall.

Assuming the match is still going ahead - Come on Leeds!

Just watching the Bournemouth game, they look a much better footballing team than us but suffer the same affliction in front of goal.

Simple gameplay...as soon as the ball breaks all four Bournemouth front players are sprinting forward ready for the through ball. They have the pace to worry most defenders but as you say they lack the nous to make the most of their chances. Their defence has let them down . How many times Bournemouth have been a couple of goals infront and lost ...even at ER of all places.

McKennie and Gnonto dropped again.... Rodri and Sini on the bench as Bamford and Harrison start

Is it me or does the bench look stronger than the actual line up... bar the defence

Need much more from him, Bamford and Aaronson
