Rigg and Jobe will both have 2 international games after these 2 fixtures. They have a heavy workload. Last season we were bemoaning not resting Jobe. I agree his form doesnt warrant it, just wondering if Regis sees an opportunity to give them some downtime. Fatigue injuries can be avoided.
If there’s no space there m8 Benedict Road next to the harbour view is ok to park we have got the cycle lane works in and around the Wolsey area
I won't be surprised if they don't play much for England - don't think Jobe featured last time and Rigg only played a little bit. Think the England youth teams are pretty good for reducing the minutes on the lads playing senior football
Keep Dan Neil out of the team. We will win 2-0 then. Play him and it's hang on for a draw. IMHO, and that's all it is., an opinion
This is a game we *should* dominate possession wise. For that reason i'd keep Neil in the side and allow him to do what he's best at, dictate the game from deep. Wouldn't be surprised if Hume was rotated out with him still one yellow away from a suspension, not sure who i'd bring in for him but I'd rather that problem against Derby than against Leeds. 2-0, Rigg and Isidor.
I’ll be gutted if we don’t win this, as it would undo a lot of the good work that’s put us in the top 2. 2-0 and I’ll be a happy chappy. Bart
Good shout re Hume. Would hate him to miss Leeds. Rare coaches do that though. They want to trust players to learn and manage their own situations.
Has to be a win and some points getting added back on. Need a few big performances IMO. I had actually been a little worried with Hume at fullback. Not surprised he is on the cusp of a suspension already. Neil wills probably play to give browne a bit longer.
Hume has said himself his tackling has been rash hence the bookings already. He can learn from it I am sure. He will be back in after amy suspension. Had Huggins stayed fit would have been a different story for me.

The show will begin at 19:30 and include flashing lights synced to the Club’s pre-match playlist to amplify the final countdown to kick off. The show will conclude as the teams exit the tunnel and the technology may also be utilised for a short period after the final whistle. Following a summer of significant investment at the Stadium of Light, including the installation of a Bose Professional sound system, the show will add a new dimension to the matchday experience on Wearside.
I don't expect many changes tomorrow apart from being more attacking with our press from the front. Ideally a nice early goal or 2 amd then a controlled performance with a goal mid way second half to see it out. So 3-0 Roberts, Jobe and Watson
Would like to see Jobe grab a goal. About all that is missing from recent form. Roberts should enjoy himself against the left back from Derby. 35 now Forsyth and he isnt the sharpest anymore. Not a bad player by any means, and carries a threat in the attacking 3rd, but he wont relish Roberts running at him time and again.
