one thing I've noticed which hasn't been mentioned, perhaps it's the keeper in me, he isn't the bravest. its always legs first rather than smothering when he races out. at some point he'll give a stupid penalty away

It’s game day, and nothing to fear if we keep eleven men on the field. It’s not being disrespectful to Oxford, but this should be a routine 3 points. I’m hoping for two things today, the first is Ramazani getting a start on the left. The second is all the players pulling through uninjured before the busy period. If you’re going today, enjoy the game and hopefully there’ll be a few goals for you.

so comfortable I'm struggling to pick a man of the match. never had to break sweat. although it was bloody freezing!!

Listened to some of the game and just seen the highlights. Solomon seemed to stake a claim for the left side attacking spot on Thursday. Might be worth giving him a run of games rather than chopping and changing, Ramazani might not be too happy but healthy competition is what we need. Looks like it’s shaping up to be like last season with a handful of clubs being a cut above the rest. Let’s hope we can find better away form to back up the incredible home record.

Thought Solomon best game for Leeds. MOM for me. James superb again. Would have given Ramazani more mins though personally but he and Gnonto looked dangerous when they came on.

3 from next 4 away I think now so Farke needs to get the away form ticking now

yes time to put a run together. miss the next 2 as I'm getting some sun. need it after yesterday. horrible

Top 3 looking like the ones to beat now.
Just hope we finish in the 2 as some potential banana skins in the play offs.
Like you guys are saying it`s time to get our away form sorted now.
Good solid performance yesterday and was hoping Piroe and or Joseph would get on the scoresheet to boost their confidence.

not sure piroe is a confidence player but obviously goals help. I was hoping joseph started and scored

Yeah Burnley picking up a few results of late but they have a tough run coming up. Fingers crossed top 2 get a bit of a gap on the rest after Xmas.

It looks like Corberan is going to be the new Valencia manager.

Pleased for him, deserves a big job. One of the toughest jobs in Europe that though... very very demanding club and fanbase with a pretty tight budget for a big club.

Yep could. Barely see what went on but a solid performance and a valuable 3 points. Tanaka to come back in v derby for me, Rothwell to 10

can't see Rothwell at 10.tanaka rotated in yes

It’s not really clear what Tanaka’s current status really is, dropped or rotated ? If he’s dropped he may well feel a little miffed, but the result and performance on Thursday spoke for itself. We’ll get a bit more clarity when the team sheet is revealed on Sunday. If Tanaka’s not in the team he’s been dropped, simple as that. I’m struggling to see where he comes back into the team tbh. Looks like Ampadu is back for sure, which means Tanaka’s reintroduction would either mean shifting Rothwell and dropping/rotating Aaronson, or dropping/rotating Rothwell. For me Rothwell stays in the team, he’s the dead ball specialist and gives the team great balance. If Aaronson is what we call the “number 10”, I don’t see Rothwell moving up and taking his place, it’s a totally different position and he’s a totally different player. It will be very interesting to see who is dropped/rotated, but this is why Farke is paid the big money.

both tankaka and Rothwell will play plenty of minutes looking at the ridiculous schedule. think it's just rest and rotate

Agree. Tanaka has been our best player this season along with James. Would be crazy if he came out of the team

Lee Sobot at the YEP tipping Tanaka to come in for Rothwell. Might we see Solomon taking the set pieces in and around the box ?

I think that`s exactly it the players will rotate during this period and all need to be match fit. Aaronson might need a "rest" and I would look to play Gnonto there or maybe Tanaka can fill that role. Don`t know too much about him if he`s an attacking midfielder or a defensive one where Farke tends to use him. I would also like to see Schmidt get some more minutes even though Byram has been one of our better players he does struggle with too many games in quick succession.

agree with byram. perhaps play schmitt at home v blackburn? Solomon needs to be careful too. he has played well recently though so again bring ramazani in v blackburn.
