    If there is any doubt whatsoever about Adams, 100% don't play him

    So Angus called Jesse and gave him a subtle hint to play a strong lineup against Cardiff. NO WAY would the board have dare do that to Bielsa. Jesse is definitely a man under pressure despite the new coach joining

    That’s why we never got past the third round

    I think it’s totally wrong of the board and shows a deep lack of respect to be honest, I actually feel sorry for Jesse on that part. By all means at the start of the season tell your coach your goals, tell him you’d like a cup run but not call him before a game and suggest he fields a strong starting 11

    Watch the presser, Jesse is the one who said it happened, why would he lie on camera?

    They can tell him what they like i don't see the problem with wanting a cup run. The problem Jesse has is keeping his gob shut.

    Exactly Bielsa was terrible at respecting the fans wish for a cup run.

    Behave. He didn't order him at all. It was one phone call of probably hundreds they have a week. It wasn't Cellino. Jesse was quite relaxed about it and was at ease disclosing that info to the press.

    Stop trying to be like ell.

    Have to be honest I seldom if ever listen to a presser anymore . Twitter usually picks up on the main points but didn’t see that mentioned till now. Last ones I listened to were in Bielsas earlier days.

    I can confirm that Mr Holt is a top man. Very generous guy.

    I can also confirm that alot of his staff are Leeds fans. They've all requested tickets to the game but in the Leeds end.

    Yeah mate. Taking my son.

    It's a strange one because I'll obviously want Leeds to win but to be honest I'll be quite chuffed if Accrington beat us and get another pay day. They deserve it, they are good people.

    How about a spirited draw, and we thump them in the return. Extra pay day. Leeds through. Everyone happy…

    …well apart from all the Leeds fans who think we should win the first leg 5-0
