    Don’t feed the trolls stretchy…

    But yeah. It was a compliment, a nod to how good the fella is, not a call for violence. In fact, I think Leeds’ promotion ambitions would be dead in the water if he got injured.

    He's only started the last 6 games because of an injury to Dan James, who was by his own admission having the season of his life, 10 goals, 8 assists, lucky to have 2 players in such great form in the same position.Gnonto isn't irreplaceable, now if Rutter or Summerville were to get injured they would be much bigger loses. Both carrying knocks so hopefully Farke doesn't risk them tonight.
    You may need back up yourselves, over the games we've played them this season, Plymouth aren't afraid to put the boot in, other than Millwall away, I'd say the dirtiest team we've played

    All about opinions, Rutter isn't the finished article by any means, needs to polish up on his finishing but he's been more instrumental in the good things season than Gnonto. When Rutter isn't on song the attack suffers greatly, as Friday night proved, only came into the game the last 20 minutes and then looked what happened.

    Either way, good luck tonight, let's hope both Leeds and Southampton both get through AET and have a fixture pile up.

    We'll get beat regardless who we put out but with 4 carrying knocks, id rather he rests them, if he puts Firpo at LB , it will all be over by half time, decent going forward but God awful defender. As long as we don't get thrashed

    Burns and Broadhead will miss the weekend. We’re getting to the point of the season where having great options in the squad is going to be a bigger advantage.

    I would assume hutch and Sarmiemto will come in.
    If chappers is missing as well, then surely Ali to play the 10 role

    I think we’re all thrilled with second last season and we’ll take it again this.

    I have to remind myself that my original hope was a top 6 finish. I think we might make that!

    I was predicting 10th for us,I bet Argyle would settle for that now,being as they're far closer in terms of points to relegation than the play-offs ;)

    True we have some good players to come in. The challenge when losing players like this is you don't have then quite the same level of impact subs coming on, which has been quite relentless for the opposition recently. In particular the opposition LBs have had a tough time, having to face Burns or Hutchinson at some point must be really tough for them and even in some cases both have been on the pitch at the same time.

    I thought anything was possible this season, i thought it wouldn't have surprised me to see us competing towards the top of the league but equally 4 seasons in League 1 without many additions from the team who got promoted realistically even a lower mid table finish would've been okay...look at Plymouth and Sheff Weds.

    I'm not really really surprised by our league position (yet absolutely delighted) what I am really surprised by is the points total...absolutely incredible...we're 6 points ahead of where we were this time last season in the league below, absolutely crazy. The closest season to this in my memory both unbelievable seasons and great achievements (but like comparing apples and pears) is when we were promoted to the PL and kept a similar team to the one we were promoted with playing great football, with a great team spirit.

    32 years ago, and with George Burley, seems a lifetime away!

    I am sure Hamadi deserves a start. He is such a strong, exciting player. But probably not in the way we are currently set up, but who knows with Burnsy and Broady out, KM might do things differently. Maybe as a no 10 behind Moore.

    Or he could let all guns loose with Hutch, Sarmiento, Moore & Hamadi starting! Scare the sh..t out of Plymouth, score a few then bring on Harness & Jackson to consolidate at 70 mins.

    Anyways, we have great backups and it would fascinating to see what he offers if and when he gets a start!
