First team

Who should start for Leeds against Birmingham

|




CM – Kalvin Phillips – Phillips wasn’t at his best on Wednesday but I think it was a tough game for the whole team, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Birmingham will be a completely different test in my opinion, I think we’ll have a lot more time and lot more of the ball so I would expect Phillips to put in a much better performance.

CM – Alex Mowatt – I think Monk will rest Ronaldo Vieira and Mowatt made a decent impact on Wednesday. I know Mowatt is better when he’s higher up but that spot is reserved for a certain Spaniard until further notice. If not Mowatt I would start Grimes – he would give us energy and I think he’ll be better in a deeper role.

CAM – Pablo Hernandez – Hernandez was class against Fleetwood. Yes it’s only League One opposition but he was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch on Wednesday and he managed 120 minutes of football. More of the same Saturday please, Pablo.

Onto the forwards..

    It’s hard to be optimistic after the horror show against Q.P.R. and I take very little solace from the fact it took us penalties to beat lowly little Fleetwood.

    I would be tempted to make one change from the suggested line up … without apportioning any blame whatsoever to Lewie Coyle, who I believe has a tremendous future in front of him, I would be tempted to select Luke Ayling at RB. his experience would be beneficial to an already fragile back line and his fitness shouldn’t be a problem … he completed a full pre-season with Bristol and played 90 minutes in their 1st Championship game against Wigan; left out of their midweek game in The League Cup, presumably because of the imminent transfer.

    Leeds are still week in front of the back four, needing a joey Barton ,batty type player , this was evident as two poor teams ripped them apart, hopefully bridcut or a similar player can be brought in urgent , until this happens I see Birmingham who are very well organised with this manager winning ,1-2

    I’d put Murphy in for Phillips unless he isn’t fit?

    You’ve got to take the 120 minutes played on wednesday into account so a bit of rest, like the substitution bench for some and give ‘their chance’to start for some fresher legs.
