If we are to go up we need to be beating the likes of Stoke and Huddersfield.
Absolutely. These are the games we have to win. Dropping points against Stoke and Huddersfield would be like making par on the 502-yard par 5 in a match against Rory McIlroy. Par isn't bad in and of itself, but it is bad relative to what the other guy is going to do.
I agree that, with the injuries we've experienced, Farke probably has yet to settle on his best eleven, but we're getting close to that day. I truly believe that when that happens we will dominate in this league.
Well it's 3 in 7 days. So Farke must be tempted to rotate. Especially with the extra options he has as back up. As he pointed out last time this happened, there were more rest days before this game (3) than before the next game (2) - suggesting he'd be more likely to rotate v Huddersfield than v Stoke.
Byram always a concern. Gray did play 3 games in the last international break. Could be Ayling and Shackleton back in.
Must be tempting to bring Gnonto and Bamford into the starting line up. And Anthony always a good option. Wouldn't be surprised to see the same front 4 though. A few questions above about Dan James. Not sure why. He's contributed a lot. His pace is killer in this league. Plus he's played more games at a higher level than any of our other attacking options.
Leeds have to attack from the start.not wait till we are behind
You should always play to your strengths which is our attack and start putting the missed.chances away not our weaknesses which is our defence which means we can't sit back on a lead and means we are always under pressure if we only have a slender lead or go behind

Farke seems to think James is his best starting option at the moment, but I would be starting with Anthony
Love him or hate him Dan James has been nothing but productive for us this this season. And his work tracking back to provide support for the Right Back must not be overlooked. He scares the hell out of defenders at this level with his pace. He is in my starting eleven for the foreseeable future.
Anthony is a left winger. A backup to Summerville. He's also not a Leeds United player. He's here on loan. So I don't care much if he is "happy". He is here to fight for minutes.
further to what has been said about rotation I wonder about the levels of Rodon and Ampadu as well,

Won't make the game tonight so will enjoy the emotional roller coaster of comments later.

I appreciate he usually creates something, but the amount of good positions and build up play he squanders makes him a very very frustrating watch for me. He is not in my starting 11. If Gnonto and Summerville are available he is an impact player for the last 20 mins. Against tired legs is when he makes a difference.
Defensively I do not share the opinion that he helps out a great deal - he huffs and puffs but the constant going to ground is becoming annoying at times.

Love to see what Anthony can do with a full match Also, the mystery man Gruev--let's see what that's all about.
My thinking exactly! Keen to see what he’s all about (abart for the Yorkies). And as Kenny said, will be interesting to see what Anthony’s start entails. Always interesting…
I agree
