Meslier
Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Firpo
Forshaw, Wober, Roca
Harrison, Bamford, Sinsiterra

Much depends on fitness and stamina. Playing 3 in midfield because the back has been a shambles.

Surprised Adams, as one of the team leaders and motivators, isn't going to be around the dressing room - like Dallas and Cooper were all last season
He’s probably trying to distance himself from the mess it has become, individuals like to try and absolve themselves from the performance of the team. I’d be surprised if he came back to be honest.

One thing that wasn’t mentioned in the match overview is Leicester havnt kept a clean sheet since the World Cup - If I didn’t have principles betting against Leeds I would be lumping on us fixing that for them tomorrow.

As much as i hope and pray we can win this game after what's gone on in the last 3 games i honestly believe it will be down to Leicester being absolutely awful for us to win this. We seem to be void of anyone or anything to show us the way and make it difficult for them.
The only thing that gives me any hope is that results this season have been so unpredictable and you just never know.

Hard to argue with this. 2/1 is a massive price about Leicester not that I’ll be availing myself

“At this stage of the season the bare minimum requirement for struggling sides is to play with maximum commitment.”

It is and we aren’t.

They are way more optimistic than us...going by the comments we will get
stuffed 0:5.

I want a risky team lineup. Not acceptable these shyte defensive lineups
...what is the purpose of such losing mentality at this point?

Get spanked 5:0 by parking the bus or just maybe getting lucky by attacking
and winning 4:3?

I hope I am wrong but I can't see us getting anything from this game unless changes are made and it's going to get very hostile if we lose.

Will Gnoto be benched for 80 mins?

Whoever plays needs to step up and play without fear and on the front foot.

Our options are limited in terms who starts so whilst we all have our preferred starters Gracia is the man in the seat. Therefore we have to get behind whomever is on the pitch. All the players are capable of putting in a performance, they just need to bring their best tonight. I expect a nail biter and palpitations, but there is no reason we cannot get the three points.

Having said that if Gnonto isn’t in the starting 11 it beggars belief.

Summerville has to play IMO.
It's a toss up between Sinisterra and Gnonto for me.
Aaronson should be nowhere near the starting line up

The out of form players like Meslier, Koch, Harrison plus the ground inspector Aaronson need to be dropped.
Gnonto needs to start....
Big game for Leeds, lets put in our best players to give us a chance of 3 points

Probably only Wolves :)

Madison and Barnes will tear us a new one, similar to Eze and Olise.

We need to be much more aggressive, positive and on the front foot. You can't stand off players and watch them play at this level.

If Javi leaves Gnonto out again he should get mauled by our fans in the ground.

I would go with:
Robles
3
Koch
Cooper
Wober
4
Ayling
McKennie
Gyabi
Firpo
3
Sinisterra
Summerville
Gnonto

But petrified Javi will go with:
Meslier

Ayling
Koch
Cooper
Wober

Roca
McKennie
Aaronson

Summerville
Rodrigo
Harrison

If he goes with those same underperforming players with a defensive approach again, Dean Smith and co will take further confidence and waltz through us.

Meslier
Ayling Koch Cooper Wober
Forshaw Roca
Harrison Gnonto Sinisterra
Bamford

If Forshaw/Roca isn't working move Wober into midfield bring on Firpo.

Likewise bring on Summerville for Harrison/Gnonto/Sini

Rodrigo for Bamford

Robles in goal ( he wasnt available on the data base)

Wober and Forshaw to fire fight in midfield and allow us to do the only thing we have been doing right since the World Cup

Give the ball to Gnonto.
