Even Cjay would find more worthy alternatives. ;-) :lol:
I can only see three from list who are very likely to feature. Rodon, James and Tanaka.

So is there a better right wing-back than Bogle or left-winger than Soloman who is a class above the run-of-the-mill championship wingers?

Piroe is the highest scoring championship striker. I have to admit, I'm impressed with Sunderland's No.9 Isidor.

I do keep pushing the match day threads, after the final whistle.

Some join in during the game & for a couple of hours afterwards only.

Many of our members don't join in at all. :?

I think they will go with Hulme from Sunderland instead of Bogle. I just cannot see them include more than 4 Leeds players in the final team.
Piroe has a decent chance, as he should score 20+. Meslier despite all the kneejerk he will cost us comments on here also has a chance, depends upon clean sheet totals at the end of the season - between him and Trafford probably.

Solomon hasn’t played enough tbh, remember the formation they choose tends to determine who they want in the team.

They'll balance it out with no more than 3 from any one club. Doesn't mean Bogle, Firpo, Solmon, Tanaka etc aren't best at position. Rodon should be a shoe in, Piroe too, no one has come close as a striker to him this season

Hume is a decent shout! The Mackems midfielder Chris Rigg could enter calculations too.

If Soloman features in all our remaining games, he would have made 30 appearances.

Agree on all the above.

Trafford (Burnley), Sainz (Norwich) & Hamer (Sheff Utd) will definitely make the first XI.

Joe Gelhardt’s corner the difference as Hull City beat Sunderland
Gelhardt – on corner-kick duty at the Stadium of Light – fizzed his delivery into the near post. Patterson flapped, the ball squirming through his hands and into the Sunderland net.

It was the manner of the win that was exceptional and raised so much emotion that it found an outpouring of expression. Noone can deny that there was a release of ecstatic feelings and sense of euphoria. It is the humdrum wins that generate no excitement that tend to be ignored.
