    Bound to happen at some point. We're doing really well but the singles are to come and that's a different game altogether. There's been some amazing comebacks on Sunday in the Ryder Cup, so work to do yet. Medinah comes to mind?? Certainly we have more wind in our sails at present and well done Europe!!

    Saw a few of the Leeds squad walking around town this morning near the the Grand De Vere hotel or whatever it's called these days, looking very chilled out. Must be quite nice going into a game against us at the moment!

    I actually can't find fault with that team selection.

    No Charles. Let’s hope the rest grow some grit.

    Possibly but I'm at least looking forward to seeing this team in action with Charly and Sulemana in it.

    Charles HAS to start. Bur aside from that, It's a strong line up on paper.

    Nothing up front. Too lightweight midfield. Plays Alcaraz so as not to get criticised. No way Kamaldeen should play over Edozie. I fear RM has lost the plot

    Would prefer Adams to Adarma but yeah. Not bad.

    Shot ourselves in the foot big time with DM this season.

    Really hope Sulemana has a good game.

    Sulemana is much better than Edozie if his head is in the right place.

    Only cos we have no other tacklers. He gives it away so much.

    I'm hoping that it's Downes at DM with Smallbone and Charly pushed forward and that Manning starts to show his form of last season.

    My heart says we are Middlesbrough and Leeds are Saints. We are not expected to win. We will go behind then come back strongly in the second half. My head says Nah! No chance.☹️

    Not keen on the lack of a proper DM. Downes and Smallbone have not worked well together so far, too lightweight, and not aggressive enough in the challenge, and even despite Charles having made several unforced errors with passes directly leading to goals, he's still been one of our best players and the only one who feels like a proper DM. I hope Alcaraz has a good game as kinda feels like he's been thrown in to this game that we're very likely to lose badly, and without a proper DM behind him so that RM can prove his point about him not being ready. Sulemana is on a short rope for me too, I hope that he's stopped sulking and actually puts in a shift.

    I like Sulemana if we play with pace with balls over the top. We don’t so he’s totally ineffective
