With Boro you know what you will get - solid defensive set up hoping to catch you on the break. Dangerous but predictable. Bolton have a very experienced squad packed with Championship hardened players. Dangerous and unpredictable. Leeds seem to be bringing through another crop of promising youngsters. One week they lose 3-0 at home to an average side and the next win 3-0 away at another average side. They beat Ipshit at home a couple of weeks ago, beat both Boro and Bournemouth away and gave Wolves a fright last night. Very unpredictable and very dangerous
Sorry, but I absolutely do not believe that that was contrived. I´m sure if there was one game both he and Neil would want him to play in, it would be that one at Elland Rd, mind you it was such a mindless thing to do, that it could make you wonder.
I believe as he has already had a red card from picking up 2 yellows, he would have got a 2 game ban this time anyway
The chances of BJ returning to Elland Rd and not getting a yellow card? He almost certainly would have found himself ruled out of Middlesborough, which because of the relative importance makes it more likely you want Bradders. The likely impact of Redmond is much more apparent away from home making it more important that the ban falls on those two games (just as Tettey served his ban in the two games where his absence would be least felt).
Maybe - but as JR said above, any yellow there, as long as it was only one, would have had no impact.
Ofoe coming on at the end of the Wednesday match could be a pointer to AN' s thinking regarding his replacement.
If the amnesty is after the Bolton game, then I can't believe it was planned as It would have made more sense to just rest him from 2-0/second half vs Wednesday and against Bolton, to be fresh and unhindered by a prospective ban for both Leeds and the rest of the run in. One way or another whilst the Middlesborough game is most important as a direct rival, I think those two away ones will be every bit as tough and he will be missed. To not even have him on the bench could be a mistake/problem Bah!
