Leeds Utd v Bolton Wanderers Match Thread

[1964white]

Marcelo names his Starting XI for Saturday's game against Bolton:

Casilla, Ayling, Jansson, Cooper, Alioski, Klich, Phillips, Roberts, Hernandez, Bamford, Harrison

So Roberts for Roofe as expected

[1964white]

Predictable, the bench will be way more interesting.

Still no creativity in centre mid so not expecting many good or clean chances.

Hernandez, Klich & Phillips - 20 assists plus 15 goals from our three more central midfielders

[Cjay]

I expect the bench will have a more experienced look about it with Brown, Douglas, Beradi and Dallas all likely to be on it. With BPF, Halme and Shackleton the other 3.

Aside from Brown and maybe Shacks thats a pretty unthreatening bench.

We dont really have any potential game changers on it now Roberts has had to come in for Roofe and Clarkes out.

Hernandez should play wide and Kalvin has only 3 assists all season and one of those just hit him

Don't confuse assists for creativity, not the same thing at all

Pablo tends to drift from right to left across the middle of the park

Bielsa says Izzy Brown is making "constantly positive steps". "We have to link his improvement to the needs of the team to see when he will start a game.

Dallas, Douglas & Berardi to feature in the U23's tomorrow night

Clarke back in light training after his virus

Apart from Bamford at Bolton & Clarke's introduction in December we haven't had a game changer all season. Tell a lie we had Saiz who rarely created anything of note off the bench

Ludicrous situation for a top three side

[Cjay]

We have the first and third most creative players in the league for chances created.

Pablo and Ali.

No we havent really, bit of a ludicrous situation as you say.

Dallas isnt likely to be that man.

Potentially we had Saiz, Roofe, Roberts, Bamford, Hernandez, Ali, Clarke, Brown.

But they let Saiz go, Brown is still not fit enough for Bielsa, Roofe is out, Bamford is still not fully match fit, Clarke is out, Ali is at left back.

Prefer Bielsa gave chances to Kun, Odour, Stevens, then Dallas

[dezzy]

We need to put in a big performance today and get a few goals, get the confidence back into the side expect a big game from Klich

[Doire_Boi]

Leeds have won their last six matches against Bolton in all competitions and have beaten the Trotters twice already this season (in the league and League Cup).

[The Subhuman]

We just need to score first. Fingers crossed we don't concede from a fluke or defensive error first. I doubt this is 0-0

It's surprising how many games we've conceded first, not to mention the flukes and silly errors. Also, time for lady luck to be on our side. A goal in the first five minutes would be nice for a change.

[Cjay]

No excuses.

Expect to win this easily, by 4 or 5.

Struggling to beat Bolton at home would be a disgrace.

So is Douglas injured again...can't remember

[Cjay]

was in U23s yesterday (and was very poor).

[BGwhite]

So is Douglas injured again...can't remember

Just not ready

[Irish Ian]

I need cheered up today.

Afghanistan have just set a record breaking 278 for Ireland to chase in a T20 in India.

20yo Afgh bat Hazratullah Zazai scoring 162*

Amazing
