Who should start for Leeds against Wolves?

Just when everything was going swimmingly, we lost to Derby, a game we should have at least drawn, and drew at home to Wigan. The Wigan game was extremely disappointing because we sat back on a 1-0 lead for a long, long time. The substitutions were poor but so is our squad depth, this is the team I would start tomorrow.




GK – Robert Green – A lot steadier now than he was at the start of the season.




RB – Gaetano Berardi – Remember this is just who I would start. Ayling has been very solid since signing from Bristol City but I am a huge fan of Berardi, I don’t think the goal at Bristol City would happen if Berardi is playing. I miss his tackling too, we could really have used a Berardi tackle against Wigan to get everyone going.

CB – Kyle Bartley – Probably our most consistent player this season, we definitely need to sign him up permanently. I’m still shocked he’s only 25.

CB – Pontus Jansson – What a man he is, my personal hero. Missed an almost sitter against Wigan, I was desperate for him to score because not only would we have won but we’d also have seen him celebrate.

LB – Charlie Taylor – He’s just not the same player this season but we’ve got to stick with him.







CDM – Eunan O’Kane – Fair play, he looks a great signing. He keeps everything ticking in midfield and I look forward to seeing him with Bridcutt whenever he gets back.

CDM – Kalvin Phillips – I really rate Kalvin, he seems to be the scapegoat for some people but his passing is the best in the team and he has a class shot on him too, he obviously is still raw as a player but he will only improve by playing.

CAM – Pablo Hernandez – He had a poor game against Wigan but he has something that nobody else in our team has, the ability to pick apart a defence.







RM – Hadi Sacko – I’m a lot more sceptical than other people about Sacko, his first touch and decision-making is poor but he’s got unbelievable pace which just terrifies defenders. He’s a must start in our team.

LM – Kemar Roofe –
He’s got the talent, he just needs to show it. I do think Dallas missing is a massive loss (we haven’t won in the two games he’s missed) and we clearly lack another winger. I was tempted to play Antonsson here but I’m not sure that would work.

ST – Chris Wood – He’s actually done extremely well this season, despite the stick he gets. Chris Wood winner tomorrow for me.

I’d expect us to beat Wolves, they’ve picked up 1 point out of a possible 12 and given our run of fixtures and last two results, we need this badly. We need to start picking up goals in other positions too, we can’t solely rely on Chris Wood.
