be lovely to get another 3 points and keep the momentum going.
possibly byram rested for shackleton but hopefully the rest will start

3 points tonight and we are cooking. Hull started season pretty well so won't be easy but i'm confident as they'll come out and play against us leaving space.

I wonder if Ampadu might be rested to the bench tonight also (it is a gamble though as he's a vital cog in the wheel), he took a heavy knock at the end of the game on Sunday, perhaps Kamara or Gruev might come in. Depends how much either has trained with the first team as yet as both were away on internation duty last week.

i might be tempted to play Shack at left back and Byram at right back tonight, Aylings legs might not hold up 2 games in 3 days..

Why not just play Shack at RB if you're taking Ayling out?

Think Ampadu might get a rest, we've got the depth now, so might as well if hes not 100%, its a long season!

Because i think thats Byrams best position and i think Shack is decent at LB. Byram has done well at LB but he's best at RB. So what i am trying to say is, play one person in their best position who is a very good RB and put the other where they are decent. Shack is about same at LB and RB imo..

But Byram seems to be first choice LB, I know he can play both but getting a consistent team out and getting players playing together is key, Gnonto and Byram have been linking up well, the more they play together on the left, the better understanding they will get.

byram is injury prone muscle wise. that's the only reason I suggested a rest as leeds only played on Sunday.

Yeah agree there good point. Losing Spence for a few weeks is a blow, Ayling needs a rest.

byram on bench. I thought he wouldn't be risked so close to the last game.
james starting was a bit of a shock.

strange game. totally dominated for 60 minutes but the sending off, justified imo, changed the game. hung in really well though. only poor ones for me were ayling, yet again, and dan james. no real shock with them two

A decent point all things considered and another clean sheet. Rodon very unlucky to get two yellows, referee was a joke. We should have been 2 up at least first half though and nearly got punished for it.

I’m still not convinced about Piroe playing at 10… another team snuffed him out there too easily. He needs to be our main goal threat. Rutter did ok but he’s frustrating to watch at times, needs a few chances

Leicester look like walking the league. We need 3 points at home against Watford. We need to be building momentum

Both full backs were the weak links in attack and defence. If Byram is fit, he has to play, he's levels above Shackleton and Ayling.
Dan James shouldn't start, especially on the right wing in this system.
Rodon was so unlucky with that first yellow, he was the best player on the pitch until the red card.

the first yellow, unless you played or reffed at a really good level you won't get.
bielsa in the murderball games told his players to practice what he called good fouls. to stop breaks and dangerous situations. had the hull player got free it was 3 on 2. rodon made sure he fouled him.
it's what professionals call a professional foul.
I watched the game with an ex leeds great and international player. soon as it happened he called it.
ref was bloody awful that I will agree with

Yes I agree. thought Shack was poor especially going forwards. Ayling as usual very erratic. Thought it was Grays worst game of the season too, but he’s still learning he’s bound to have the odd off game. Also agree about James. Hoping Gnonto recovers quick.

I’ve watched Rodons second yellow again a few times and he was unlucky imo. Summerville looked dangerous but he holds onto the ball too long

Anyway onto the weekend, really need 3 points otherwise we’re going to be a fair way off top 3

Missed most the game but saw the red card and the huge miss at the end.

One point isn't too bad under the circumstances.
