Which is a great position to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I get the impression that LJ won't ever have a best 11 more like a best 15 and then utilise this to his advantage wherever possible. Leeds are usually quite physical so I can see Bobby being moved to the bench and GON coming in to assert ourselves in the middle before subs are made around the 65 min mark. non of this should be taken as a slight at Bobby - he has turned into a decent championship midfielder, it's just that GON is probably a better tool for this job (for want of a better way to describe GON).

Meh Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Would not surprise me with the midweek, weekend cycle we are in to see a couple of changes and to keep everybody fresh. Would not surprise me if O'Neil came in for Pack and maybe Moore for Magnusson if his toe is a bit painful still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 O'Neil for Pack. O'Dowda for Freeman. The O's have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying, but I don't think we should set up with two defensive central midfielders against an average Championship team, at home. Sometimes playing quick intricate football on the deck around these big physical type players can work in our favour, as doubt many of big these northern lumps will be able to stop people like Bobby playing filthy little triangles around them. Nice problem to have though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Personally I wouldn't have started with Reid and Pack together in midfield on Saturday - I'd have gone for Brownhill instead of Reid as I felt we'd be too lightweight. My main point being LJ knows what hes doing and I don't so I'll wait and see what LJ picks and guess he's more likely than not to get it right...

mozo Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Leeds have won four on the bounce so I'm expecting we'll do a fair bit of defending tomorrow. I wouldn't go gung ho. O'Neil in if fit please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I think it would be criminal to change the team. Only change it if fitness/injuries require it to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack had a great Captain's game and Bobby certainly played a part besides the goal too. Keep faith and reward Saturday's team, they certainly should be given the chance to reproduce at home. Make changes from the bench if needed, but my starting 11 would certainly be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than our Defenders I wouldn't worry about us being physical lumps, we are gradually (slowly) starting to play some football!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidNoble Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'd go with: ODonnell Little Flint Mags Bryan O'Neill Pack Paterson Tomlin Freeman Tammy I believe O'Neill is our best midfielder, however Bobby Reid does get goals and can be an impact from the bench. I'd love to know how close Korey Smith and Adam Matthews are to full fitness. Plus, I'd love to see this big money Engvall signing play however of course it's impossible to drop Tammy at the moment. The beauty of this season is that we have a bolstered squad so can change personnel (and systems) and still put a quality side out. Who knows?! but I will say that LJ will look at Leeds weaknesses and adapt our side to take advantage of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does 4 apparently I would think he'll freshen a couple of places up as usual , which ones is harder to guess. Oneil would depend on fitness , maybe Odowda for Paterson as LJ seems to like Freeman. Brownhill must be due a game , didn't Tammy take a knock Saturday ? I wonder if Tomlin beats five player he'll lay the ball off again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereks no1 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Its a long season and altough you dont want to change a winning team i think a couple of changes are innevitable. O'Neil and O'Dowda for Reid and Freeman. Depending on the situation I would like Wilbraham to get a game as well as Brownhill and Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Robin Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Saturday was great of course, but certainly for the first half hour we were totally overrun and could have gone in at half time two or three down. Fulham actually looked like a good side up until that point and if they had taken those early chances it could have been a different story. I think GON may have to be brought in.

robin_unreliant Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 As long as we don't start with 3-5-2 I will be happy.

I Am A Cider Drinker Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I would probably go with our 'hardest' team against Leeds judging by comments by them on Twitter, probably means dropping Bobby and bringing in ONeil, if fit, and possibly a start for Wilbs to help out Tammy upfront. On the other hand we could go for our quickest/sharpest team, one which would draw fouls but unfortunately this relies upon having a decent ref which is all but ruled out with the idiot Stroud in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I prefer ROD - fills me and the back 4 with more confidence, better distribution and better at crosses. But you're right so FF will retain his place.

OldlandReddies Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 As he has said before, he'll keep freshening up the midfield as that is where the miles are put in and exactly the reason we have 8 midfield players/wingbacks in our squad which can be rotated without weakening the team.

LJ's game management seems to be very good, in particular his use of substitutes to change games and all to often to turn things around. However it would be good to see us getting off to a flying start for a change so that he is not faced with that type of decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 No idea what team LJ will pick, but I've yet to get it correct so far this season. I get the 'don't change a winning team' mantra, but he's tweaked it every game so far. Need to bear in mind that there is a game Saturday, but then a break. I feel for those who don't even get a kit in tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
