Work tomorrow and I’m bringing up football again! God it’s great to have a team to be proud of again. Hope we do make changes as God needs to know how good the squad is in an competitive game.

Enjoying the ride and yes its great to go in with a great win and performance to talk about.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 19:58:53
Is it my imagination or is Alioski not going down as easy as last year no pun intended?
Bielsa have something to do with it maybe?
He's not a world beater but you have to love is effort 100% of the time and what a cross for Roofe.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2018 20:51:53
Last year he was going down like a sack of spuds, but now he seems to be a different player, has to be down to the Manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 20:55:54
Agree corkwhite, he seems to be staying on his feet more although him tussling in our box with the derby player at a corner was worrying, could easily see a penalty given. Bet once Pontius is in the team he won't go down feigning an injury this season.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 23:17:04
And did you see Pontus celebrating after Roofes second? Team unity.

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Aug 2018 09:02:56
Just to check how many oldies are on here . last season he was going down like Linda Lovelace :)

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Aug 2018 09:35:17
Another great team effort, everyone working hard on and off the ball, Roofe fantastic again and deserves man of the match, but everyone deserves that, please please guys keep this up, let’s hope that two games a week don’t take its toll, We All Love LEEDS.

So seems change the team for cup game is the general consensus and yeah I agree . definitely a chance to get jannson some match time and maybe shaugnessy maybe start with baker Harrison Tyler Roberts Bamford Blackman, maybe five edmunson some game time as well,

Believable1 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2018 20:33:25
Deffo need players on the fringe given playing time because obviously they will be needed for first team sooner or later and those seven you mentioned Mighty especially.
MOT.

Agree1 Disagree1

12 Aug 2018 20:34:43
Sorry nine players!

Agree1 Disagree1

12 Aug 2018 22:59:45
8 lol.

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Aug 2018 08:56:04
IMO blackan gets a start, not been impressed by BPF this season, bar a couple f saves against stoke. Probably ayling, jansson, cooper, pearce at the back, shackleton holding, Harrison, baker, Clarke, bamford and edmondson up top. hard to pick a midfield tbh and want to give as many as possible a rest. Be interesting though as I think bielsa will still field a strong team. Think bamford, blackman and jansson all have spots nailed on though.

Agree1 Disagree1

13 Aug 2018 10:50:25
I think no matter who starts, it'll be the same high press, fast paced, all action game as the league games have been.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2018 13:10:37
Mighty spot on mate,

Corkwhite had that to, but never mind we won.

12 Aug 2018 17:56:11
First point - I was saying let's take the 9 mil for saiz, and I wanted Klich out the squad so glad I've been proved wrong on those points so far .

Question to u lot?
Do we keep the momentum and the same team v Bolton? Or do we make wholesale changes and ensure that the team is at optimum fitness for the weekend . 3 games every 8-9 days is going to be tough going at that work rate.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2018 18:07:03
God has already said he's changing the team. The lesser disciples will be playing.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 18:10:55
For me, change the team, especially with the amount of younger ones we have.
Gives them a chance to get some game time mixed in with fringe senior players and rests the main 11. I also don't think losing the cup game with a different squad would effect their momentum.

To summarise, cup run isn't orthodox jeopardising potential play offs with tiring squad and if we can't play our potential future players in a cup game when will we?

If we're mid table 3/ 4 way through the season and in a decent cup round that's when it changes for me.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 18:15:09
For me changes.
Championship is a very tough league and a long season rest players when you can.
Lots who need a full game like Jansson Roberts Bamford Baker Blackman and Harrison.
Let's see what they can do and whether they can play with the same tempo and composure as the current starting 11.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 18:51:48
Change - we can’t keep this tempo up every game without rotating and the fringe lads need match time.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 19:10:00
change cup ain't important and give others a chance to shine, i would play

blackman
shaunasy, pontus, de block
? Peacre

baker harrison ?

roberts edmonson

bamford

when trying to play second 11 you realise how short on players we are hich is only worry.

Agree4 Disagree2

13 Aug 2018 08:57:22
Just realised that myself bermo, is a concern. Although bielsa knows this, may see the likes of diaz and rey feature tomorrow night.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Aug 2018 11:41:26
yeah sam this is my hope as well and have some confidence in this, pretty sure players like sheckleton, Daiz, Roberts, Peace and few others will play a few games and make a case for first 11. my only worry because I'm paranoid is Pep massively undereistimated his first season, city looked amaizng then fell to bits, I hope MB has learnt from Pep's original mistakes and jumps sitraight to second season success.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2018 13:22:03
Speedy thank God for that cup means nothing going up should be our priority, cup second.

Doesn't fancy a season on the bench.

12 Aug 2018 14:26:14
well, at this rate I'm going to have to stop moanin ain't i? what a great performance, movment ticky tacka but then direct and always with purpose. so pleased for roofe, alays liked him but said not clinical enough and don't look like a 20 goal striker well he did yestedray two different type of goals both well taken, saiz showing class defence looked pretty soild

could pick on keeper but was a serving shot and he is good and young, hope we keep this up against teams that don't come at us and teams that fight because that is a different problem but hopefully one we can answer

only real downsides. bamford ain't scored yet waste of money, and that kit is awful and one we will remmebr as the one we wore the year we got back in the prem MOT.

Believable4 Unbelievable4

12 Aug 2018 15:54:28
If only we had players like Klich and Roofe last year. Both looked like world beaters yesterday.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 16:53:29
makes you wonder how bad a manager TC was to write off a clearly talented player in klich he looks touch of class, hope roofes form conitinues as I really like him and want him to be a 20 goal player

also maybe VO is not as bad as a few on here have said, hopefully they will stop clalling for his head and see he has done well at leeds overall.

Agree1 Disagree3

12 Aug 2018 18:53:28
The lads have the opportunity to change minds across the board. It’s in their hands really.

Success breeding success an all that, surely what can now be seen to be happening at Leeds should attract quality players available on loan.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2018 11:39:09
Only in defence scum. Otherwise, no room at the inn. Even Messi and Mbappe would only make it to our bench right now. Saiz and Roofe are playing like Kryptonian gods.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 12:59:09
I wasn’t allowed to call him scum. He told me off.
Give it to George Tory! N.

Couldn't resist posting this comment from a derby fan on twitter! Love it!

"Someone please go into that Leeds dressing room and tell Samu Saiz that Ledley has a family to go back home to after this game"

Always important to have a sense of humor in adversity!

Morning guys! Phew another superb performance frankie boy looked shocked but resigned as if he knew what to expect but couldn't do anything about it! I thought the lads stepped up a notch from last week some sublime movement and passing Alioski stepped up a level this game, he seems to relish playing derby! Couple of Shaky moments but nothing major I do think although Berra is doing his best at the moment, we will see pontus come in sooner and that should tighten us up further, the rest of the bench will have to wait the way the lads are playing! Tuesday think we will see a completely different 11 the bench will start along wth Tom Pearce, Shaugnessy, edmundson and maybe the young Clark boy shouldn't be too difficult to get past bolton with that line up, looking forward to my day trip to leeds next Saturday and sample the amazing atmosphere that's surrounding Elland road at the moment MOT brothers 😎.

Speechless. Omg. That was awesome.
Sorry but late to join party!
Soooo.
Wats going on.
Teams can't pic the movement. We are playing as a team. Working hard. Helping each other. Running running running.
Defence looks dodgy but so what? Teams can't stop us scoring.
Game 2 of 46+.
All good so far.
I think derby looked good. Looked dangerous. Better than stoke. But second best today.
Is it finally happening?

12 Aug 2018 11:35:17
Yes Aus, let's enjoy the moment but remember nothing is won in August except another 3 points. Love Bielsa's way he deals with it, like us he must be jumping for joy on inside but on the outside remains calm. we are there now to be shot at by other teams and there will be bumps in the road along the way, but wow what a start and long may it continue.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 16:01:10
Leeds get promoted as champions. Ausman - "what did I tell you, teams just can't pick our movement"

Leeds finish 14th Ausman - "What did I tell you, this squad just isn't good enough"

Gotta love it Aus ;)

Bookies have us installed as 9/ 2 favourites to win the league, and I'm not supposed to get carried away?

When we are 1/ 3 then I’ll be more confident and have the champagne on ice!

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 10:48:26
Two little things that Bielsa will not have liked at the end of the game yesterday, yellow cards for Bamford and Alioski. At 4-1 up, unnecessary. Up until then signs that the discipline, something that cost us big time last year, was improving.

Hope Saiz is getting good anger management support this year because he is going to get so much sly stick and niggling in every game.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2018 11:01:11
Yes Spanish, two unnecessary bookings, need our discipline to be a lot better than last season. I am sure the Manager will have had a word. I have read a few fans criticising Bamford this morning, let's give the lad a chance, I am sure he will make a good contribution this season.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 11:40:36
Bamford is frustrated wants to get on and have ago, that’s not a bad thing either really. Hope he gets a run out against Bolton to show us what he can do.

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 12:05:07
I am sure he will along with a few others. Looking forward to seeing them start.

Agree3 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 12:12:08
How can anyone, in reality, criticise Bamford? He's only played 17 minutesish! ! ! ! bloody armchair, keyboard warriors.

Agree3 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 12:32:42
I thought Bamford showed some good movement of the ball and will be an asset this season. Let's give the guy a chance.

On that one I have to agree George, he's done absolutely nothing so far.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 15:58:56
Bamford needs to be inducted into the El Loco way yet. Give him some time. Tbh Roofe will be keeping him out of the squad anyway the way he is playing.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 17:16:18
I think we just bought Bamford to motivate the roof Man!

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 18:13:10
Bub says Bamf is 40 days behind Roofe, so, wait till next month before he gets a start.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 18:56:27
Roofe could have 40 goals by then. I wish!

12 Aug 2018 19:39:05
I'm hoping he's in double figures by then ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Aug 2018 10:01:08
I really hate myself for saying this but at times I saw some confused and disorganized defending but I am sure, so did Bielsa and he will iron it out before next week. The other problem the lads gave me was picking MOTM. There were so many to choose from. He has them playing out of their skin currently. Played two of the top five and barely given them a kick. Let's hope we are watching the same players doing the same things next May. Oh Happy Days. By then I hope we are so far in front he gives his bucket a run out in the last game.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

12 Aug 2018 10:39:27
Agree, but just a little bit of confused and disorganized defending from Derby. We criticize our defense imagine what comments Keogh is getting! Looked like he was close to a heart attack several times. Funny to watch if it hadn’t been cruel! Thought he was just going to punch Saiz at one point and walk off!

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Aug 2018 04:15:06
Read a few derby fans quotes re Keogh. none positive mind ya . selling and sending out on loan got many mentions. the Roofe man killed him.

3. Things

1, I think our preseason, with the emphasis on fitness, introduction of the new style and being able to work with the same group of players, is giving us an advantage over other teams. We look ready and not forced to throw in new players straight away.

2. Great to see Carlos Corberán fully involved on the bench yesterday and helping with the players, speaks English and Spanish. Helps with the fluidity between the under 23s, hope that continues so the two squads are linked together really well.

3. Loved Shackleton coming on, 4-1 up, shrewd sub, shows he means what he says about the young lads close to the first team. What a great example to the other players. Also if you are a young Chelsea, Man City, Spurs player not getting a sniff of first team time, get your bag packed and head to Elland Road.

Whisper going round we may be getting Izzy Brown on loan from Chelsea. On loan at Brighton last season but been out since January as he tore his cruciate but helped dog botherers get promotion the season before.

Interesting, as I said above, if you are a player at a premier side, not getting any kind of chance, what a great opportunity.

I like Brown he is quality, especially at this level. We missed a trick under Monkman when he was playing really well in a poor Rotherham side and T'Taarn picked him up and he helped them get promoted. He would be a good addition to the squad.
