Harsh on Cresswell and I hope Llorente hasn't been rushed back.

Cooper shouldn't be starting over Struijk.

No Summerville? Shame that

I'm too confused to even think about that

I'm sure he'll utilise them at some point today on the wing, centre midfield and striker.

I see the cynicism has started early today :lol:

Looks a decent team. Of course the two wing partnerships are not developed yet but Shacks and Raph should be able to string a few passes together.

Lets just hope LLorente can get through the game without limping off

I guess Roberts is the CM option :roll:

I watched the U23s match last night, first time I've watched Bate, looks a very tidy player to me, can break up play, box to box and complete range of passing. Really stood out in a team full of good young players. Also, doesn't need to worry about our new signing Forshaw keeping him out of the matchday squad, though he is on the road to recovery. Might as well have said JKA's off the pies and on the way back for us :)

I would start Bate ahead of Roberts every day of the year ;-)

Which international break would that be?

As patchwork sides go, I think ours looks pretty good today. We should beat these guys.

Don't worry Llorente will take pity on Cresswell and blow up again :)

If they've rushed Llorente back and he blows up again that will be really suicidal stuff.

Yeah, Struijk beats Cooper for me, but I don't wear Bielsa's glasses :geek:

Shame about Jimmy, I guess Jack n Tyro will be two of the subs, took me 0.000001 nanoseconds to work that one out :lol:

The lads NEED a win before it becomes desperate and the confidence goes, no win in first 7 league games is not a record they will want. Cmon Leeds let's do it !

Danny Rose is a bit of a unit isn't he, looks like he's either in the gym all the time or the chippy
