Ashtonwurzel Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Why announce this ? I may be reading too much into it but sounds like they are trying to convince Leeds that he will be playing when he is actually injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any value in pretending that he'll be fit. Plenty of Premier League managers claim that their star players are out only for them to appear on the team sheet an hour before kick off.

They will select and detail jobs to certain players depending on their best estimate of what our team is going to be. That could well be different if Tammy isn't playing. man to man marker for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Leeds are bound to be preparing for the game believing he is fit and playing, why wouldn't they. We can say what we want but that's what they will be doing so it makes no difference if they find out he is playing now or an hour before. He is their main worry. I personally think he is fit and will be playing, there Leeds think about that, you'll need to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 87 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Leeds will be planning for either Tammy or Wilbs, which from a general approach is the same in terms of it being a big target man, so I don't think LJ confirming Tammy is fit really gives Leeds any advantage. If anything his comments after Saturday's game (not sure how he is, it was a nasty knock) may have built up their hopes that he would be out, today's comments then bring them back down a bit. Psychological advantage LJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aza Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hello again!!!! I will be sitting amongst you in the South Stand as usual, the comment about Tammy won't matter. We'll prepare to face the deadliest striker in the Championship at the moment, if he doesn't step onto the pitch then it's a bonus. Watch out for our "uncompromising" Centre Back partnership. I'm very interested to see how they fair against a decent attacking side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
