Be nice to just have some options back and have a stronger bench.

At the very least Illy & Gana are back, Coleman is back in the mix and i don't think Branthwaite will be too far off making the bench.

Then hopefully KDH, Alcaraz back soon and Tim and we would have some better options and depth.

Still very light up top, but don't see us bringing anyone in unless we can shift Beto.

If you are light up top mate maybe you should consider a wig ?

I don't think they did. They huffed and puffed, and were full of industry so well done for that, but they didn't blow the house down. They won because we were absolutely dreadful and were extremely subpar, and we got an abysmal penalty against us that lead to their goal.

If we play to our abilities, this should be a win. I expect Leeds not to make it easy, but we should be the ones dictating the result. If anyone is owed anything, it's the fans who spent money going to Elland Road and saw the dismal level of performance that day.

Having said all that, come on you blues, I am fully behind the team when they play and think for a long time we are getting competitive again - might not be every match and there's still too many stumbles, but we are progressing in the right way. 3 points against Leeds and we will be getting back to the business end of the table which is were we want to be.
 
Leeds seem to have settled into a low block with 2 up top and are really good at exploiting set pieces, long throws and the knock on.
 
Should have done better in the first game of the season at Leeds but we went out to soak up pressure and ended up on the back foot. We need a win here and a few less excuses for another poor performance. I`d go with the same team that played yesterday, which should have been what we did after the Forest win. A few players back would be nice to have options on the bench, but then again Moyes never makes good use of his bench.
