I think it's been shown we need a bit more physicality in that role on occasions, although I would have considered him to play instead of Clucas alongside Etebo for his passing ability. Jack should have been sent to sit on a beach for a week or so, get his head cleared. Surely Davies could have done bench duty? Cousins has a lot to do Woods is very unlucky to lose his place imho. As for Jack it's a ridiculous decision to put him on the bench 100% Davies for me.

You'd almost think we're in a crisis…
Dropping 3 biggest names plus 3 more certainly proves that Jones is a man of action.
The only change I don't understand is why our topscorer, Hogan, is dropped. And the change that didn't occur which would have been to have Verlinden at least be on the bench.
Then I marvel at the decision to name Collins as captain. It's great. But, it also points to the fact that the other 10 are not captain material.

Even if we get twatted today which we probably will, that formation is the only one we can use with the players we have and he needs to stick with it. 4231 shits over it from a great height.

No Vokes, Woods or Ward in the squad
Fair play

This is totally contradictory from me. I'm all for changes and agree in the main.
However some of this is picking names out of a hat. Last week we all hailing the link up and work between Gregory and Hogan, now the latter is dropped. Also people hailing the resurrection of Woods , now not even in the squad.
As I said I'm totally contradictory on a positive note Leeds on paper are nothing special.
Davies must be one of the worst signings ever

So where’s the guile in that team, would have retained Woods and had Verlinden on or on the bench. Very defensive looking team. We’ll see. What I was thinking... can't see much creativity. 0-0 is the best we can see with that as I can't see us scoring. We don't score many when we create lots of chances so God nows how we will with no creativity. Would you rule out a Collins goal on a header? It doesn't have to be creative just as long as it goes in.

Where is the creativity in that side though? Duffy

From the "Close your eyes. Hope. Shoot like crazy" school of management.
Could have still made changes while dropping out of form players, being tighter down the middle but remaining positive in any number of ways. This side has 1 creative player in it, which invites pressure on a weak defence. e.g.
Fed Edwards Collins CCV McClean Woods Ince Cousins Etebo Duffy Hogan or Gregory
Still expecting 0-2. Lots of grunting. But easily beaten once they inevitably score.
Presume the diamond is dead now - the one he's spent 8 months trying to build?!??

Blimey! at least he takes notice of the Oatcake recommendations! We are truly fucked then! He's done what I was hoping he'd do regarding Batth and Allen which is also a worry! Easy win today it is then!

Or is that false memory syndrome.

I think Butland should've been dropped completely in all honesty. Imagine if he has to come on after a few mins? Yes I agree, I'd have sent him away from the club for a week,told him to sort his head out I wouldn't imagine it applies to goalkeepers as much, but many players say watching a team made them a better player when out due to injury/form.

Vokes not even In the squad. Seems a large waste of 9 million. Should have spent that on a LB.
Hes going to run out of people to drop.

Literally throwing names at the wall. Looks like pre-season was a waste of time then. Got to hope he gets lucky today and has stumbled on something. Or he’s chopped liver.
