Leeds Utd 2-1 Shrewsbury Town Match Thread - Post Match Debate

Why are we risking Ampadu and Gray on this game?

I can't imagine they'll go the full ninety; I certainly hope they won't.

Madness really

So Ayling and Shackleton on the right side? DF must be opportunistic to see what his backup CB options are...

[Victor_OTT_17]

Drameh has a year left, Aarons would have been a better long term option. Get Aarons and sell Drameh if he's not willing to extend his contract

Aarons is going to Bournemouth: hijacked us at the last minute after everything was just about done!

[weasel]

If Gnonto isn't injured then this is a worry

Not wanting to Cup tie a player you may sell happens a lot.

I dodn't think it would put any team off if he was cup tied for this cup. The FA Cup maybe but this is just a pot that the players will p*ss in if they win it.

We can't compete with the likes of Bournemouth

Better to risk them from the start in the hope that we get to a point where we are cruising and then bring them off. Makes more sense than to be cruising and then bring on your only fit striker like a certain 'manager' did last year.

[Hewin]

What do we reckon tonight? 1, 2 or 3 Injuries?

Urrgh!
I’ve held that trophy aloft, Bremner style, in my local pub, hope it was washed beforehand.

An FA/FL bloke was taking it from the current holders at the time, to Wembley for the final a day or two later.

LUTV has radio coverage. Suppose I'll do that.

You'd think not but it isn't just about the cup tie

It's the injury risk.

May be nothing we will have to wait and see

But bit concerning

[andrewjohnsmith]

Nohan Kenneh makes his Elland Road debut tonight

He has that crazy stat of never having played a game for Leeds but having one yellow card

[Kennyb41]

Can read a lot into that imo, starting with the bench : Not a fcking scoobie why 2 keepers unless Mes is fcking off, anyhoos :


16Perkins : Obviously doesn't rate him, so he's looking what Joffy can do coz of current injuries.
21Struijk : Doesn't wanna risk him coz of LC
23Sinisterra : Knows what he's about, and probably one of the first on the team sheet, so doesn't wanna risk him.
25Byram : Knows what he's about and is now probably in front of Hjelde.
26Bate : Mustn't rate him.
37Drameh : Probably on his way out/ might be saving him if Ayling has to play CH Saturday.
46Moore : Making up the numbers.

Looks like Perkins and Bate are considered too far away from 1st team by Farke

Drameh may be just coming back from injury. Although you do wonder with the trying to sign a right back today. May be that Drameh is on his way out. Personally I hope he's on the bench trying to get back into the squad.

Would be nice to see Byram get another 30-45 minutes

And can't see Strujik or Sinsiterra being risked. As Cjay mentioned, surprise Gnonto isn't on the bench

[andrewjohnsmith]

Apparently Ampadu playing in central defence. Aying at RB. Shackleton and Gyabi in midfield. Gray in the AMC

[Kennyb41]

And the 11 :

Darlow : Quite obvious.
17Shackleton : Trying him where Bert used him a couple of times, flying down the line.
2Ayling : He's gotta find options now LC fcked.
5Cresswell : Had to play him tonight, still figuring stuff out, options again.
33Hjelde : Probably LB, possibly CH with CC, figuring stuff out coz we're fcked at the back.
18Gyabi : Interesting this, seeing what he's like with Ampadu in case he has to use him in the future.
4Ampadu : See above
27Poveda : I think he's starting Saturday, probably defo now Jimmy fcked
22Gray : Potential No. 10 for us, he's looking at him there.
20James : Nothing surprising, he needs minutes.
30Gelhardt : Nothing surprising his hands are tied, and worth trying anyway, depends on the set up.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Estimate of over 30,000 in attendance

Ampadu is playing at the back

Shackleton midfield

Ayling right back

At least that's what radio commentary says (Sheckleton and Ayling have some rotation)

Not Bournemouth, the Premier League. Footballers will always choose any Prem Club over any Championship club. We'd better get used to it

[BlancdeBlanc]

There’s commentary on BBC Radio Shropshire (via internet) for those not able to get Radio Leeds on FM.

My point was...the mighty Bournemouth! Just like the mighty Luton or Burnley.
