I think Hirst and Burgess or at least one of them will be fine!! This does, however, show how much we need another CB and CF coz I'm not convinced by our backups in those positions!!
Kmc has said that he wants 2 or 3 more by the end of the window and I’ll be amazed if it is not a CF & a CB. Ladapo and Edmundson are decent league 1 players but not good enough for the championship (imo). Should be a cracking atmosphere tomorrow - wonder if we’ll break 30000 or even if that’s possible if there has to be some segregation between the home and away fans
Definitely think we need a couple more players. With potentially Hirst and Burgess injured makes you realise not necessarily that we're not well covered because we do have players who can come in but that if we want to progress in this division we don't have alot of cover or options in those positions to maintain that quality. I think Edmundson is a good players and could certainly make it at this level, let's not forget until he got injured people were saying he was our best CB, unfortunately he hasn't played alot recently so is bound to be a bit rusty. Ladapo confuses me, as I don't quite understand where he fits or what his strengths are, I actually thought he has come on and done fairly well in the games I've seen so far this season, and kept the ball a bit better than Hirst did actually. However what I'm not sure I've seen is that he can come on and change a game if the momentum isn't going our way, feel we need a bit of a live wire, someone a bit unpredictable and don't think we have that in the main striker position at the moment
I think if Hirst doesnt play, then we will struggle today. I share others concerns about Ladapo. MA knows he needs at least a fresh CF. I hope all who get to the match have a terrific day! Sing yer bleedin hearts out!
If Hirst doesn't start, maybe push chappers up top, broady and burns either side, with Taylor coming in as the #10. In defence, if fit enough, maybe start Williams as RB
As we thought, no Hirst, Jackson comes in and Clarke holds his place. Freddie to come on at 60 and do his thing. COYBs! lets see how we go, in front of a packed PR.
Maybe we'll sit back and try to hit them on the break. Big blow without Hirst in the team he offers so much more in terms of his all round game than Ladapo or Jackson, although I'm surprised Jackson has got the nod ahead of Ladapo and tbh I bet Ladapo feels pretty peeved though
I think Jackass ahead of ladapo is the right move, Freddie has looked **** lately and like he can't be arsed!! Just our luck all their best players are back today!!
Gonna be a very tough afternoon for our defenders today. Leeds have their three moat attacking players back for the first tine this season, therefore I'm expecting goals galore at both ends....hopefully the Leeds defence play to form
