RB – Vurnon Anita – No point risking Luke Ayling I don’t think, Anita looked top quality against Bolton and it’s a shame we’ll probably not see him play central midfield very often.
CB – Conor Shaughnessy – With Pennington injured and Jansson suspended, Shaughnessy will have to step up. It says a lot about the position Leeds are in that we’re playing a central midfielder from the Academy at centre-back, but there you go. I thought after his first minute shirt pull, he actually played pretty well.
CB – Liam Cooper – Had one of his better games for Leeds on Sunday and shouldn’t find too many problems in Port Vale’s attack.
LB – Cameron Borthwick-Jackson – I have no idea whether he’s fit enough to play and I was going to say we start Tyler Denton but he’s been loaned out… to Port Vale. Jackson did train with Man United’s academy in Austria this summer, so I’ll give him the start.
Into the midfield…
evrything you have put up except that total effortlessly waste of space sacko doukara better
My main concern is that Green plays and we can see his quality. The new keeper, for me, did nothing on Saturday but relied entirely on his defence to get him out of trouble. He never came for a single ball. A better side will find him out.
