    No news form the Club except a 30 second video clip of the Slavi Bus heading out from Motspur Park. Would expect only one change from Saturday's team - Tunnicliffe being recycled.

    ...................Button............
    ..Odoi...Kalas....Madl....Malone..
    ........McDonald...Tunnicliffe...
    .....Cairney....Aluko....Ayite..
    ...............Smith....


    And probably, possibly Jozabed on the bench?

    Agree with you Cottager, think Tunnicliffe will come in for Parker as three 90 minutes in a week maybe just beyond Parker. I thought Woodrow may come in for Smith but after scoring 2 in 2 ( should be 3) think we will stay with Smith. Also think we will see Jozabed on the bench and I don't know why but just have a feeling Sessegnon may get a game ahead of Malone.

    Right on both counts Cookie. Jozabed is on the bench and Sessegnon has indeed been preferred to Malone.

    So just the one change from Saturday's team.

    Only one change, Sessegnon for Malone, though Jozabed is on the bench!
    Surprised Parker is playing his third game in 8 days but he has played well, really glad Sessegnon is getting a few games not because it might help in fending off the big clubs and get him to sign a contract ( hopefully it will) but because he looks our best left back, little harsh on Malone as he has done nothing wrong but I expect Sessegnon to get 10-15 games this season and would have explained this to Malone if I was the boss!

    Happy to see Sessegnon get a start, as already mentioned I think hes the best option for that position.

    Let's keep the good run going!

    Not watching it but going purely on the stats it seems that its all Fulham in the early stages.

    68% possession, 5 attemps at goal, 2 on target. Leeds have 0 attemps.

    Need to make it count!

    We just don't have the killer instinct to finish them off .. 93rd minute equaliser 1-1

    Played so well too, hitting the woodwork twice. But unbeaten and what would we have given at the start of August for 7 points, especially with two away games !!

    What a shame. Sounded like we deserved a win from that.

    The Gaffer is indeed fairly cheerful:


    We’re unhappy after conceding a goal in extra-time, but my team played the best game of the beginning of the season,” Jokanović said in his post-match press conference. “We had everything under control, we created the chances.

    I can be satisfied with many, many, many things that my team showed today here in Leeds. These things can happen, the Championship is very famous for these last few minutes, and we paid an expensive price today
    .”


    Here's a link to his full post-match review: http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2016/august/16/head-coach-reaction

    Disappointing to let the win slip, but I think we'd all have taken 7pts from the first three games before a ball was kicked. And no one else has a 100% record, so we've not even lost ground. Onwards and upwards.

    Gutted about the 93rd minute goal but as mentioned 7 points from 9 is a great start.
