Eintracht Frankfurt v Leeds Reports/Ratings - CAWLEY ?

[1964white]

Should be interesting to see how we fare against the Germans on Tuesday evening as we prepare for the kick-off of the season on the 8th August

I see this match is being screened on LUTV

Any chance of a link ??

[Genghers]

Hopefully a full strength squad will impress more than the bitty ones which have played so far. Is there a full travelling squad list anywhere? Has Drury traveled, for instance? Club said a decision was going to be made on him yesterday.

For me our strongest starting line-up would be:

--------------Silvestri------------
Berardi-Bellusci-Bamba-Taylor
--------Bianchi-----Cook--------
--------------Mowatt-------------
Byram--------Wood-------Erwin

If Wood is still injured I'd put Erwin central and Antenucci on the left.

Reckon we'll see minutes from Adeyemi too, though maybe only the last 20-30 mins in the first game.

I suspect there will be a link floating around somewhere. At the very least it'll be commentary.

Hmmm, 'Weekend at home'? Wonder why there's been no club statement about it...

Look at it like this - despite Rosler saying the one area left to strengthen is on the wing we haven't signed him so he clearly isn't good enough!

[Oscar]

Team in my opinion should be
Silvestri
Berardi Bellusci Bamba Taylor
Adeyemi
Byram Cook (played here for parts of last season we don't have another good enough winger at the moment)
Mowatt
Sharp Wood

[Genghers]

Full list of players who have travelled:

Tom Adeyemi, Mirco Antenucci
Sol Bamba, Giuseppe Bellusci, Gaetano Berardi, Tommaso Bianchi, Sam Byram
Lewis Cook, Liam Cooper, Lewie Coyle
Souleymane Doukara, Lee Erwin, Charlie Horton
Steve Morison, Alex Mowatt, Luke Murphy,
Kalvin Phillips, Billy Sharp, Marco Silvestri, Casper Sloth
Charlie Taylor, Ross Turnbull
Lewis Walters, Chris Wood, Scott Wootton

Nice to see Phillips, Coyle and Walters in there. From the highlights I saw from Tadcaster Walters looks like he has real pace!

[Brader]

Fully agree with this. Signing up players just for the sake that we need players in that position is alitle silly. Whole point of having a look at them on trial.

As i posted up in my match report, he did okay

Didn't pull up any trees though, always difficult to prove oneself in under forty minutes, probably hadn't done enough in training too !

[Gandalf]

Why has Luke Murphy travelled - wouldn't he be better off getting intensive treatment at Thorp Arch ?

[danhirons]

our strongest first team is basically the same team as last year + woods....

how are we expected to progress?!

Erwin looked good at York & we haven't seen Adeyemi yet. Walters & Coyle are looking likely to make an impact in the first eleven this season. None of us know how much improvement has been made until we see these players in action

to keep in with the team and be apart of the setup, keeps morale up and stops the injured player feeling alienated from the squad. New manager there is still alot to take on board wth philospy and everying so watching the sessison and seeing how his role fits within the team will be good for him.

also i would assume most of the physio team would be out there with the rest of the players. hes probably on light conditioning work by now

Yeah, he's been doing some light running apparently, but more to the point, Rosler has said that these trips are as much about off-field bonding as on-field preparation.

One name I didn't realise was missing is Ajose - think that is a nail in the coffin of his Leeds career...

Phil Hay said on twitter that at least one club has been told Ajose, Sharp and Morison are all available.

Heard Ajose could be on his way to Doncaster.

Sharp to Sheffield and Morison to Millwall (surprise surprise!) touted too. Indicative of their success in the Champs last season...

League 1 about right for all 3, Ajose did well at Crewe last season.

Always insisted they were L1 players, we've had a glut of this standard of players over the few years. Some will tell you they were better than they are, thank god our current managerial team are sorting out the wheat from the chaff
