I know you’re overly positive sometimes but surely you can read the script for this game? It’s Ipswich all over again, start with a bizarre lineup and when we inevitably go behind he will bring subs on but it’ll be too little too late

I was shocked I will be honest. Could see Allen and O'Hare being dropped but I thought Palmer might've started . Rumours that Kelly spat his dummy the other night explains Lati as DCM .
It's definitely a weird one and puts a lot on Simms,Saka and JDS

Okay, so to sum up, Robins is an idiot, who is showing his fear and hasn't got a clue....

But the game hasn't even kicked off yet.

I wouldn’t say he’s an idiot and obviously has a game plan to nullify Leeds attacking threat. The main issue is we are completely nullifying our own attacking threat with so many defensive players

Thought you'd be delighted Wright isn't starting. You calling Robins an idiot with some of your recent posts!

I am going to try and refrain from throwing my toys out of the pram too early on this, but it seems like another absolutely bonkers selection based on being intimidated by the opposition. We have a system that has been working, and here again we are seeing some kind of park the bus philosophy rather than doing what we are good at.

Hopefully I am proved wrong and it works today, but as it stands I am struggling to entertain this line up.

Mixed comments on here it would seem on the lineup, nothing new there, but I don't think I've spoken to anyone who expects us to get anything more than a draw here, so what is the right answer?

_----------------------Collins

Van Ewijk - Thomas - Kitching - Bidwell

---------------------Latibeaudiere

Sakamoto - Sheaf - Eccles - Dasilva

I think so or Latibeaudiere moving to the middle of a defensive five.

Supporting this club unfortunately quite a few times. I had become quite fond of no longer seeing that filthy brown smear across the team sheet but sadly it seems to make an unwelcome and stinky return when we play a decent team away.

As people have pointed out we were very open against Brum and Southampton. Would have been a massive risk away from home. Players need rests. Let's see how it goes before the meltdown

Worked for Sunderland last week - let's be honest, if he'd have gone with the midweek team, we'd have been far too open against this lot. We have a strong bench to utilise if we need to, plus a busy Xmas schedule coming up. MR = tactical genius.

Seen his tactical genius at Ipswich which didn't work first half.

You obviously think Simms offers less than Godden which is itself a bizzare take …

He certainly offers fewer goals, although let's hope he scores today.

What's going to be stupid is to listen and have regrets that we wernt more positive in first half. As in Ipswich it was game over 2 nil down. At half time.

Frustrate them for 75 minutes. Then throw on Wright and O'Hare to win us the game.
1-0 to us. Wright with the goal.

I don't like changing set ups especially when they have brought pts, but we haven't got it right away yet so maybe Robins is still trying to find the answer. We will soon find out but this is agame where id of taken a point and that was before seeing the team.

Its a squad game and those brought in are not bad players and should bring legs into the game.

The 3 fresh players could have been attacking ones!

Palmer/Godden

Anyway Hope this left field super defensive tactic works.

I'm just not convinced it works for us, but we'll see after the game. Like I said, hopefully it does work and I'm proved wrong.

Bit of a strange starting line up, I just hope MR is looking to keep things at 0-0 going into the last 20 minutes and then make the changes to win it.
