Leeds haven’t played well for some time now, yes, we haven’t lost every week but the performances have been down since Derby. The team needs some changes, this is the team I’d go with:



GK – Rob Green – Been our best player recently, I know I’m not alone in thinking that

(yes, follow us now). Really impressed with how much he’s improved.

Into the defence…



RB – Luke Ayling – Been a bit down on his form recently but to be fair, who hasn’t? Green that’s who. Obviously he’s going to start until he gets suspended.

CB – Kyle Bartley – My captain for the game, you’ll see why later. I think the defence as a whole hasn’t been as good recently, but still above anything we’ve seen in recent years.

CB – Pontus Jansson – He actually got through a game with no yellow against Ipswich, he needs to do that plenty more if we’re going to get promoted this year, we can’t let him get a 3 game suspension.

LB – Gaetano Berardi – The last game without Taylor probably, I’ll be sad if Berardi doesn’t start again this season, it’s been a pleasure.



Into the midfield..





CDM – Kalvin Phillips –
Our midfield has gone stale, so we need to bring back the player who was key in our best run of the season. Bringing some much-needed energy and attacking impetus to the midfield.



CDM – Ronaldo Vieira –
Yes, a very young midfield, although I’ve seen these two play well together before and they can do it again.

CAM – Pablo Hernandez – He’s been off it of late but where Ipswich was not his sort of game, Sheffield Wednesday definitely is. He can dominate for us on the big stage.



Into the attack..



RW – Modou Barrow – It’s time for him to start a game, we could really use his pace, he looked threatening against Bristol City.

LW – Kemar Roofe – I feel like Hernandez and Roofe have a special connection on the pitch and it’s time it was brought back.

ST – Chris Wood – Obvious I know, but I really think Wood will score in this game, a late winner.



This game is the biggest Leeds have been involved in for some time, I think this is the game we get it back on track and go unbeaten until the end of the season….

Let us know who you think should start the game in the comments section.
