Match Day Thread Leeds Utd v West Bromwich Albion

Leeds Utd v West Bromwich Albion
Tuesday 1st October 2019 19.45 | Elland Road

Without a victory in September, pressure is being exerted on Marcelo Bielsa to make changes to the Leeds starting XI for the visit of West Brom.

The social media boo boys have identified Alioski and Harrison as two of the main culprits partly responsible for their recent decline in form. Whilst nobody can question Alioski's efforts, there are certainly frailties in his defensive duties. Harrison on the other hand gets into great position, but his crossdes are very much hit n miss.

Is it time to bring Douglas back? The former Wolves player of the year has not managed to make the impact that both he and we would have wanted to see and although he has been unfortunate with injuries, he has not taken his chances, when given to him!

We could see Dallas moved to left back, and bring fit again Luke Ayling to the right!

Should Forshaw replace Shackleton?

With Hernandez still on the treatment table, should be stick with Costa wide on the right or bring Jack Clarke into the fray?

What about Nketiah? He is yet to start! He certainly didn't have the impact on Saturday that any of us would have wanted; maybe he's a little dejected at the lack of playing time?

 

There must be someone better than Phillips to take set pieces and corners. Apart from one great delivery at Barnsley for Nketiah’s goal it’s been pretty mediocre.

We never seem to take a short corner either. Usually it’s an easily defended floated ball into the box.

 

Score draw I reckon

 

I reckon we will be all over them like a rash, have 3 times as many shots as them but only 3 on target, fail to score and then kiko will punch the ball onto the arse of one of their attackers and it will trickle over the line for the winning goal.

Sounds a bit like ground hog day and really hope I am wrong but it's getting a tad tedious now.

 

Roberts was all over them last season, and has something to prove with them being his ex club, might be worth giving him the no 10 shirt for this one.

 

Ayling selected for the U23s today so he won’t be in the starting lineup tomorrow, Douglas was also selected along with Davies so no changes at the back.

 

Best we can hope for is a draw

 

----------------------Kiko---------------------
Ayling-----White------Cooper------Dallas
--------------------Phillips-------------------
Costa-------------Forshaw----------Clarke
-------------Nketiah----Bamford----------

 

3-1 leeds you misearable old goat.

 

'Fraid Ayling & Clarke played the first half today & didn't exactly set the heather alight, so unlikely they'll start, Ell.

 

How many minutes did Nketiah play?

 

Zero. Wasn't there.

 

I’ve bet against us, I’m so confident.

You do know they are the only unbeaten side?

 

That's because they haven't played us yet.

 

Bookmarked (you thick twat - no offence)

 

Haven't you offended enough today. No shame

 

Moi?

I’ve been playing nicely today.

 

And West Brom are 4/1

 

The one thing west brom will do is have a go. It might play in to our hands you know! We might get a bit more space going forward.

West Brom at 4 to 1 look a big price though!

 

Crazy odds on all our matches now days. Other fans must be having a field day.
