Leeds are on the verge of blowing it all but they have the chance to turn it around. Making the playoffs are still completely in our hands, win every game and we make the playoffs. These are the three players I would bring back into the starting eleven to make sure we finish in the top six.




1) – Eunan O’Kane – O’Kane has been out of the team for some time now, although nobody is really sure why. It could be because Vieira and Kalvin Phillips have looked so good in spells, but it surely can’t be because of Bridcutt, who’s looking more and more lost at the minute. O’Kane has the best win percentage of any of our central midfielders, and featured regularly in our best spell of the season, usually alongside Kalvin Phillips. For Burton on Saturday I would say it’s key that we start Ronaldo Vieira and Eunan O’Kane as our two central midfielders if they are both fit. Ronaldo can sit deep and break up the attacks whilst O’Kane plays a more advanced role. Remember, he’s won promotion before so his experience will be vital at this stage.




2) – Charlie Taylor – It’s extremely important that Taylor comes back into the side, although Berardi has been brilliant, we’re really missing Taylor’s attacking capabilities, which were showcased in the Brighton game, with his excellent cross to Chris Wood for the first goal. He quite often is our best attacker and we’ve missed that dearly in certain games. It means that when we’re playing well, the fullbacks have to deal with Taylor and Ayling bombing forward, rather than just one winger.




3) – Souleymane Doukara – For some reason, when he’s in the team we win games. I’m not his biggest fan by any means but he somehow seems to get us through games. Let’s face it, Sacko is bordering on useless at the minute so he’s not starting. Doukara is excellent at holding the ball up and he pops up with a goal now and then, every time he’s scored this season we’ve won the game. I’d personally go with Doukara on one wing, Dallas on the other and Roofe in the number 10 role, really grind out this victory that we so desperately need.

    Makes sense, we need to attack more from midfield!

  • Charlie Taylor didn’t look interested in the Wolves match and didn’t have 1 run forward – Berardi is a better full back with Taylor not bothering to go the extra mile

    It makes sense.
    You need strong characters now.
    I would even consider Charlie playing in front of Berardi, in place of Pedraza.
    Hernandez has to improve his game, as he is our only creative player, since we sold Mowatt!!
    Selling Mowatt and not replacing him angered Gary Monk, and made little sense to me.
    MOT!!!!
