I think we'll bring in McNair and have VDB out on the right, myself. We'll see though.

What's your favourite thing about Leeds? Went to Uni there. As a student the city is perfect. Though wasn't great for the liver 🤣

Ayling will be missed but hopefully a switch to the back 3 will negate that, with Jones at RWB.

I can't stand Leeds and their fans, so it will give me great pleasure to watch us put a huge dent in their automatic promotion chances. We're definitely playing well enough to beat them and I think we will.

Leicester have been totally outplayed and are winning 2-0 now, hahah. Beat Leeds and we're 6 points off the play-offs with 2 to play 😂 Obviously we have no chance of overcoming that gap, but it'd be nice to still have a little something to play for.

Leicester should be 2-0 down already, they're hanging on by a thread..

Questions - What team would you pick? Dieng Jones McNair VDB Clarke Bangura O’Brien Azaz Howson Latte Lath Silvera What's your favourite thing about Leeds? The countryside that surrounds it. I’ve got family in Rawdon and Yeadon and it’s beautiful around those parts What are the odds on Bamford cheating yet again? It’s odd because he never cheated when he played for us! 👀 Will we derail their promotion push even further? I’d like them to go up, I hate playing them, but I bet we

Nothing in it for us except help prevent Leeds getting into an automatic spot.

The issue isn't playing out from the back, the issue is decision making on when, where and how. If the opponents are closing, down, swarming and pressurising it can be effective by unlocking them and catching them up field however it is also far more likely to result in being bullied out of possession, putting us at risk or as we seen recently a poor ball to O'Brien leaving us stuffed. Having outlets making and creating space and time is crucial whether you play out from the back or go long. Simply hoofing it isn't the answer any more than playing a suicide ball to a player being ra

I'd quite happily take a draw now, it keeps them down, keeps the unbeaten run going and keeps things very interesting in the promotion race.

What team would you pick? Dieng Dijksteel VDB Clarke Jones Howson O'Brien Engel Azaz ELL Silvera Based purely upon who has been fit enough to be starting or on the bench recently. With his contract situation I can't see Paddy being risked unless he is totally match ready plus the Player himself wouldn't want to risk injury, bit of a gamble for me. What's your favourite thing about Leeds? Car showrooms, I have bought quite a few Cars from dealers in and around Leeds. What are the odds on Bamford cheating yet again? I'd be disappointed if he did but w

I totally forgot he returned to squad and then dropped out. Yeah in that case he on bench -at best.

Thanks for taking ownership of the thread at least you had more days to play with then my last thread! No really it is appreciated and I believe your first MDT in quite sometime

Hackney hasn't been in the squad the last two games after making a fleeting appearance on the bench a couple of weeks ago. He's not ready to start a game. I think it'll be mcnair in for ayling like you say but I reckon vdb starts at right back like early on in the season. The rest will be unchanged likely Edit- forgot Greenwood wouldn't be available

That sounds perfect to me, thanks.

Teacider has stuck a thread up if you just want to take it easy and do the next one when you're feeling better?

If Dijksteel does not start this, then the writing really is on the wall for him, if its jot already anyway. I actually don't think he will start. I think Paddy will come in and we will change to a wing back system with Jones and Engel - which will say a lot about what MC thinks of Dijksteel in not trusting him at RB or as a 3rd CB (he played his best football there for us) Also would not be surprised to see Hackney replace Greenwood and plsy in an advanced role but rather Silveria or Gilbert there: Dieng Paddy VDB Clarke Jones Howson O'Brien Engel Silveria LL Aza

Hi guys I am here Been in bed with the flu for a few days .. and haven't had my mind on anything but getting well I can have a thread up before I go to bed ..

Thought I'd be helpful and get the match thread started with the disappearance of Smogdane. On Monday night at 8pm, Middlesbrough face Leeds United in a YORKSHIRE DERBY, it's a match that's of vital importance in the promotion race. Leeds are 3rd in the Championship, and a point off the automatic promotion spots, they've only won 1 of their last 5 games and are fortunate that the two teams above them keep slipping up too. We'll find out tomorrow whether Middlesbrough are finally mathematically out of the play-off hunt, if West Brom draw and Norwich win, it's done. Luke Ayli

Think we might need to bring in emergency measures again for this one. SD hasn't been on since Tuesday.

I should clarify i dont mean we should play out every single time. That would just be ridiculous if men are not available/being pressed but playing out from the back should certainly be the first port of call and if not available then try something else if thats the way MC wishes to play.

Just as well or we would have been hammered

We played more long balls against Ipswich than Man City did against Madrid 😂
