Shake it up a bit The fact you'd choose Smith over Edwards discredits your entire selection And cousins over woods

I don't understand why Clucas and Mclean make a lot of these chosen teams. Allen I feel needs to be rested. Not sure that Woods is strong enough for defensive mid. I would like to see Campbell and Duffy used. However, Mr Jones sees these players perform every day. I have no idea what many of them are like character wise but we certainly need more with grit and determination.

NOT ButlandEdwards Collins NOT Batth McClean Woods or Badou Etebo NOT AllenNOT Ince So any of Powell, Duffy or Verlinden Gregory Hogan or Campbell There was a graphic on Sky TV last night that showed the average position on the pitch of all the players against Derby last Saturday. What really struck me was that the rest of the team played a high line and the full backs played very much in the opposition half but Batth's average position was about 10 yards outside his 18 yard box. This is the reason sides play through us and have so much space between our back line and midfield. Batth is so slow he compensates by dropping too deep. Butland and Batth can't possibly play against Leeds.

4231 of Federici Edwards Carter-Vickers Collins Clucas Woods Etebo Ince Duffy Verlinden Gregory Is much better but the back 3 is the best he can do with his shite formations so he should go with it. That’s a team I could get behind, enough guile and pace throughout the team and a team that could be on the front foot. As an aside Bayern how’s that young left back we signed looking

There's no hint of anything resembling a settled team though is there? It's new pairings every game. One thing is for sure though, Batth is horrendous, even at this level. We need to see very quickly what Carter Vickers has in his locker. Surely Duffy, with his intelligence and eye for a pass needs a chance soon? It really is a car crash at the moment.

Duffy should have started every game since his arrival. He's the most creative player we have.

Like the first one, haven't seen enough of Duffy to decide However only Jones and his team see what goes on in training For all we know he may have tried this option and thinks there is a better alternative

Leeds wi just cut right through us if we stick with the Diamond!!! Especially if some bloke taking his dog a walk has been spying on us!!! Why bother spying when our manager has an iced yo the world exactly what we will be playing? At the moment every man and his dog knows exactly how we're going to play and just how badly we're going to do it! It's like taking candy from a baby right now!

Please no three at the back! I'd actually play Ward at left back and get that balance back. For all of McClean's industry and effort, it throws us and Lindsay invariably gets pulled over. Duffy and Powell behind a front man might work???? Can Duffy be used as an alternative to Clucas in midfield and be part of a three with Etebo and Woods?I'm absolutely stumped to be honest...

We beat Leeds last season playing 3 at the back, and our most comprehensive performance this season was playing 3 at the back albeit in the League Cup. I see no reason why 3 at the back wouldn't work going forward.....

It would be a bit of a reversal for Nathan to play it at home again, but who knows. What I do know is that Batth and Lindsay are slow.

Having given the team to play Leeds some thought, I think I would go for stiffening up the defence with a flat back four with instructions not to be too adventurous and stay in position. I would have Edwards, Collins, CCV and Ward. I would have Etebo and Woods in font with instructions to alternate on defensive mid when the other goes forward. Duffy in front of these and a front three of Verlinden, Campbell and Gregory. I don't know the players so this is purely on instinct. I don't know about Jack maybe he needs a rest and given time to regroup so perhaps Federici in goal.

I'd scrap the disasterous diamond and pick this team for Saturday! ..................Davies (can't be any worse!)..... Smith........Batth......Collins...........McClean ...........Woods..........Etebo...................... Ince......................................Duffy.. ................Powell.......................... ......................Gregory.................... Subs: Federici, Edwards, Lindsay, Clucas, Allen, Vokes, Hogan. Butland, Allen and Clucas certainly need a break now!

He'll go 352 and go all defensive to save his job. Not sure where that leaves all these number 10s he's signed.

I'm sorry, but how the hell can Clucas make it in? Hid all game unless he was giving the ball away Worst in the pitch for me He's been dogshit since he arrived. I think he escapes to a degree, because others around him are as bad/worse. Rubbish footballer, with the temerity to 'shuuussshhh' his own fans.
