Hi Folks,

Leeds travel down to the DW Stadium on Sunday Lunchtime to face an inconsistent Wigan side.

The Latics have lost back to back games against Millwall and the Blades, yet less than a fortnight ago beat West Brom.

Leeds will be without Berardi and Ayling who are both expected to be out of action until the New Year whilst Douglas and Harrison are both expected to start following positive displays against Hull u23's earlier in the week.

Bielsa must decide whether to stick with Forshaw, or recall Saiz who had a positive influence following his second half inclusion.

Dallas will fight it out with Shackleton for the right back role.

Wigan unbeaten at home and we've only beaten Preston, Hull and Ipswich (5th bottom and bottom 2) in the last couple of months. The omens aren't good.

So we'll win by 3 then<party>

Forshaw to keep his place for me, Saiz on for last 20, make him prove his worth again. But again I'd put Klich in the Saiz role and Forshaw as DM, allowing Phillips to get forward more, as he's proved in the past , he knows how to hit the target from outside the box, something we're struggling to do atm.

Shacks----'Jansson-------Cooper-------Douglas

Clarke-------------Roofe-------Hernandez
 
Hard one to call, I’ve a feeling Forshaw might be on the bench again and Saiz recalled. Dallas will start at RB with Douglas returning, Harrison also on the bench and he won’t drop Alioski

BPF
Dallas
Jansson
Cooper
Douglas
Phillips
Klich
Hernandez
Roofe
Saiz
Alioski

The lineup I expect to see...
 
We looked better with foreshaw deeper nd Saiz ahead than fireshaw in the Saiz role and Philips deeper.

Could have been the state of the game though so can’t assume it works like that from the start. Can’t help feeling foreshaw is a better alternative to klich or Philips than he is for Saiz. I like them all, it’s just getting the blend right for the opposition and the individual game situation.

Wigan are a big physical side... the type we tend to struggle with... I’m sure that will be a factor in selection. Given he can look after himself I’d be surprised if foreshaw didn’t start.

Imo , Klich should replace Saiz and Forshaw takes over the Klich role.

As Doc has pointed out Saiz and Klich both have problems with their yellow card tally and it would be a disaster if both got a ban at the same time, this clearly needs to be managed. Is Klich industrious enough to replace Saiz . On the TV Klich doesn't look to have as much running in his game.

I certainly wouldn't trust Shako at right back
 
So 4th / 5th tonight dependent upon Stoke v Boro. 1-0 win tomorrow all that's needed to take back top. Norwich come from nowhere but their supporters wanted the manger sacked a few weeks back. Expecting them to have a dip soon.

We made them look daft down at Carrow Road
 
With other results going in our favour, except Norwich who bounce to top of ladder, we need to take advantage of it and hammer Wigan with everything we've got.

Absolutely. Why play Shako at right back when everyone knows he's an attacking midfielder

Stick a fridge full of beer inside the opposition's goal and you'll see Shaks become a human dynamo at full throttle.

Ref for tonight, from Hampshire. The last time we saw him was in our 2-2 against Swansea

Matches for him this season, quite a lot of bookings and a few penalties
