Leeds team

[Irish Ian]

Nice lineup, all set up for when we bring on the big guns to win it

[Madron]

Think my hopes will be hugely determined by the draw.
Home to Coventry or Leicester and I'll be shouting for the win.
Away to Man C , no thanks I'd rather play the Millwall league game.

[White Riot]

Gruev injured?

From your lips to the footballing God's ears.

I am counting on you to manifest that result.

If you fail it will shatter my perception of you as an all knowing pundit, my universe will crumble, the foundations of my belief system will be shaken, my faith will waver, and I will be drawn into that terrible vortex of negativity that consumes every Leeds fan when they experience a defeat.

It will be your fault if we loose.

Never in doubt.

No fear, but i first wrote 2 Piroe 1 Joseph when writing that post, then changed it to my hero.

Gruev injured?

You’d think so, to not even make the bench (where we have two keepers, would suggest he has picked up an injury.

[Kennyb41]

I don't hold out much hope for us if I'm honest but you never know.
The crowd could get on their backs if they don't score early.

Defence looks ok but Firpo might get ripped a new arsehole.
DM's
Joseph probably up top
Anthony with something to prove
Piroe and James as per.

We're going to Wembley.

He's been a consistently good performer for us.

Gelhardt not getting a sniff either, dunno why we need three goalies in the squad?

Gruev injured?

Guess so. Made same comment on Gelhardt.

2 keepers on bench

[Kennyb41]

He's prepared the bench for 1-1 after 80mins and possible et

Not enough 1st team players I guess

Seems weird that we use two bench places for goalies when this might go to extra time, surely one of the younger lads could have had their hopes raised with a trip to London?

Strong Chelsea attack???? or tired

[Broad Ford]

What's the plan then?
Set up with a strong rear guard and break out down the right side through Robert's, Gray and James. Defend in numbers and hopefully during the second half Bamford and Somerville might get the chance to impact the result. We can dream.

Fingers crossed this FA Cup starting 11 don't get their toes burnt too badly, as the win streak will end soon and I think a place in Europe will be top of Chelsea's wish list.
