MATCH FACTS (just out of interest)
•On the one previous occasion Leeds were drawn to face Rotherham in the FA Cup in 1971, the tie went to a replay after a 0-0 draw at Millmoor. The Whites prevailed 3-2 at Elland Road in the replay.
•Leeds have reached the fourth round only once in the last five seasons, while the Millers have reached it once since January 1993, losing eight third round ties in that time.
•Leeds have lost their last three FA Cup ties without scoring a single goal.
Right, while I'm not one for Cup runs when we need to move up the league a bit, I do recognise that the oldest cup competition in the world should be given the respect it's due ..............not only that but I'd like to see Leeds kick Rs for a change
So I'm going for a 3-0 Scoreline with Mowatt , Wood (2)
Over to You.................Predictions, Scorers...........usual stuff
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Let's hope so Sol
Evans is very likable, to me at least. Better than that,
he seems pretty bloody effective as a coach. Never
saw that coming when he joined, but, nice job.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disagree on 'likable.'
But it's not an issue for me if we're moving forward.

Good solid result.
It's early days, but looks like Evans might be 2 for 2
on these ineffective loan deals.

I hadn't seen that when I posted, but yeah, encouraging.
Touch Wood.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You want to touch Wood?
Hmmmm freaky man

I like to touch wood, and so does my wife.

I'm not sure why I capitalised the 'W' in wood.
For the sake of clarity, it was meant apotropaically.

Had to look that one up ("To ward off evil".
Clarified indeed.

Redfearn is taking credit for Coyle playing now...
Wonder what Richard Naylor thinks about that.
posted on 9/1/16
As much as I appreciate what Redders did,
he's always had a chronic case of self
over-evaluation. He was part of the academy.
He wasn't 'The Academy'.

I agree, Make no mistake he had a huge impact on many young careers and he was instrumental in a lot of what happened.
However that does not mean he was the be all and end all, we produced great players before he arrived, we will continue to do so now he has left
