LeedsCityRam Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Er...fair to say no-one called that starting XI. Think 3 at the back makes sense given the incoming bombardment. Really pleased to see Dylan Williams given a starting berth also, he must be made up. Hope he enjoys the experience. But for me, dropping Bird & Morrison in a game where we need to control possession to keep them off us, is decidedly unwise. Its almost like we don't want the ball putting Knight & Shinnie in the middle & that's just going to invite pressure and constant delivery launched into our box. Shades of Cardiff away in March.

AGR Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Is anyone else listening to this nonsense from Ed Dawes slagging off Roos before a ball has been kicked? Roos has hardly put a foot wrong this season, he should’ve saved forests goal but I’ll let him off as he did a great save just before. jimtastic56, angieram, jono and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's new? Everyone bullies us. The team is terrified of the opposition regardless of which players actually play. It comes from the manager.

Ravabeerbelly Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Good luck to young Dylan tonight. I think he’ll be pinned back in a back 5 if I’m honest with little opportunity to get forward but they may be good for him. If it was a game where he was expected to get forward too much he’d find it very hard to not be exposed. In this situation he’ll basically have Buchanan inside him doubling up and looking after him and two other Centre backs taking care of deliveries in the box. Sibley, Joz and Baldock will have a lot of responsibility to break quickly and effectively when we do get the chance to break out. Dont see it as a possession dominating evening if I’m honest and the selection says as much Edited September 14, 2021 by Ravabeerbelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong. I hope so too. For me it all hinges on Sibley. No Morrison, no Lawrence, we know Sam will willingly run channels and Knight will be in overdrive for 96 minutes … but if anything comes from this it’s got to be from Sibley He needs to announce himself, not as a feisty kid with some talent but a grown up game changer. … Nervous, somewhere off Burton Road LeedsCityRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I am going to assume that they were going to kick Lawrence and Morrison a few times to make them react and lose focus - that’s that plan foiled - now they won’t know who’s kicking who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
